Stage HKT48 KKS 3rd [Nounai Paradise] (13/11/17 - 14/04/21) | 5th Gen KKS Revival (19/03/10 - )

like Babymetal, Yui Mizuno and Moa Kikuchi ( Metal Gothic lolita )
Nako and Miku make me think this

 

Put Naopon in there (pretending it's Suzuka) and we have own HKT BABYMETAL

 

Watching now NP, it seems Tsutsui Riko debut has been postponed due to Kyoka last KKS stage.
It's gonna be a mess... during Tomo yo multiple girls already down

 

Unit stages for today (Thursday). Looks like they did some switching around.

Nakinagara Hohoende
Tashima

MARIA
Fuchigami, Okada, Okamoto

Kimi wa Pegasus
Goto, Kusaba, Sakaguchi, Tani

Honehone Waltz
Iwahana, Tomonaga

Kurukurupa
Akiyoshi, Fukagawa, Kojina, Komada, Ueno, Yamada

 

Oh, interesting. I was going to watch it anyway, it being Meru BD (and to look for ithebigC)

Looking forward to seeing how Tani and Mai fit into the songs, like I'm used to a MARIA with 1 high voice and 1 low as non-centers.

Thanks for the info!

 

So I watched it, and I sadly didn't spot ithebigC lol

First of all I managed to understand about all the MC more or less, there was some funny stuff in there.
Big props to Mio for this performance on the MC side, in my view she's improving a lot in that and I really like her humour.

Now for the new spots in the units:
Mai has a larger range than I expected, I'm used to the low voice in Pegasus but she pulled off a decent higher one here in her MARIA spot.

Tani impressed me a lot in Pegasus, really good (and unexpected) vocals and a good serious expression. She might even be my favorite for that spot.

Akiyoshi fits in with Kurukurupa, but that's not a surprise lol
I like her more in that than in Honehone, where she can use the energy she has in her.

 

I uploaded the shuffled units of Meru's Seitansei stage on vimeo.

But ye I have to agree Mio's been great during the MC portions on Meru's Seitansai. It's good to see her more self-confident and somewhat leading through the stage.
I was alrdy satisfied with her appearance on the Odekake Christmas episode, she talked a lot in a distinctive way.

Also her dancing seems to get better lately; she puts more effort into the execution of some movements and is overall more present in team performances.

 

I've partially (skipped some song here and there) watched Meru seitansai.

I still don't understand why Meru never tried again to sing the solo live after the shonichi...
Maichan did quite well in MARIA but I don't like her in this unit (as a matter of fact I don't like her in Pegasus either) It seems out of place to me.
Tani was nice in Pegasus I love her when she did "serious" song she as such nice expressions and also vocally she fit well.


I agree on Mio she did awesomely well in the MC, even if personally I start grinning every time she said something with her peculiar tone of voice

 

Watched Emiri seitansai (140120 LOD)
Nakinagara Hohoende - Meru
MARIA - Yuriya, Chiizu, Naopon (My favorite lineup)
Kimi wa Pegasus- Emili, Maichan, Rikopi, Raita
Honehone Waltz - Akiyoshi, Tomonaga
Kurukurupa - Tani, Tomiyoshi, Kojina, Komada, Yuutan, Yuna

It was a nice one, the celebration itself was good, mama Rikopi guided the whole thing they did a nice KKS PR time for the BD girl, where she did a very cute monomane skit (I'll share it in her thread), a brief speech by Yuna and Emiri and a lottery for a 2-shot with Emili!
Not so emotional as usual seitansai but it was really cute and heartwarming


Finally they fix the vegetable prop from Kurukuruppa (don't know if they reinforced it or switch to a plastic one) after the incident during 140116 stage

 

Could you explain this a bit further? what happened?

 

They taped about 4 leeks together this time.
It was indeed a pretty nice stage, not that big but fine for a 3rd gen.

Also I don't know anything about an incident lol.
Apart from the leek always getting destroyed half-way the song.

 

During the 16th NP as usual the leek was torn apart and spread all over the stage, at some point the poor Shino slipped on a piece and fell on the floor
No big deal since she get up soon and continue the song but I guess it could be dangerous...

 

So for the latest stage, Hazuki and Tani couldn't perform due to poor health. Hazuki was replaced by Naopon, but apparently they couldn't find a replacement for Tani on time, so they performed with 15 members. And Kurukuruka was centered by Harutan!

I just finished downloading the LOD and will get to watch it now.

 

Just watched Mirun-chan seitansai, she is a nice cute kid!
In her special appeal time she wears a cute mouse-ears and she did a little ballet showoff...
She catch my eyes while she centered Cinderella, nice job!

On the other girls i really enjoyed Piichan solo quite good live singing!
and Harutan kills on Kurukuruppa [rock]


Another bad note from Yuuna, after her great debut even in this LOD she didn't impress on the MCs, she barely speaks... I wonder what happend???

 

For ppl who might have missed those, vimeo backup

I made gifs of her 'skill' presentation after her seitansai. [party]

First her flexibility

Spoiler

and her attempt to do a triple pirouette (which failed considering the last spin )

Spoiler

 

Finally in today's Nounai Paradise happened what I've been expecting since the announcement of this Stage for the KKS...
Naopon Nakinagara Hohoende

I think that Naopon has a great voice (more "adult" than the average HKT's) and that she is one of the top (if not the best) singers in HKT, so i was really looking forward for her to have a shot at the solo!
Obviously she did it live!
A pretty good rendition, with some flaws here and there of course but I'm sure that she will be given the opportunity she could reach perfection here.

Looking forward for the next one! PON PON PONPONPON

I think it's safe to say the best. [clap] (followed by probably Rikopi, Chiizu).
Regarding her awesome voice she should have been the MARIA center all along.

Anyway I missed today's stage thanks for the upload [party]
What a great performance I hope we can enjoy that again in future. Hands down that's the best Hohoende performance so far.

 

Today's Nounai Paradise 140217:

- Tomiyoshi was sick and they had no replacement in time, so Manamin did 2 units and they went with 15.
- Chiizu with glasses again, but a different set this time.



Units:

• Nakinagara Hohoende
  Tashima
  MARIA
  Kusaba, Okada, Okamoto
  Kimi wa Pegasus
  Goto, Fuchigami, Sakaguchi, Imada
  Honehone Waltz
  Akiyoshi, Tomonaga
  Kurukurupa
  Ui, Tanaka Y, Umemoto, Kusaba, Iwahana, Tani

And most imporantly, they did a KKS version of the new single, the positions:

Tanaka Y - Kusaba - Tani - Okamoto - Tomiyoshi (Absent) - Imada - Goto

Umemoto - Iwahana - Fuchigami - Sakaguchi - Ui

Okada - Tashima - Tomonaga - Akiyoshi​

​

 

Wait.. If Tomiyoshi was sick then why is she still listed in the KKS version lineup of the new single?

 

Well, she wasn't there but that was her position.
So it was empty.

I'll edit.
