    Here's a video of Ikuchan's part during the TEPPEN piano competition!
    [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA8bCfTIH1o&sns=tw[/yt]

    Full piano competition:
    Part 1/3 | Part 2/3 | Part 3/3


    Also some thoughts. Fortunately I was able to watch TEPPEN live as well.
    The order was Sakiko, girl I dunno, Madoka, Ikuchan, & another girl I didn't know & defending champion. The points were in the same order: 91, 78, 87, 87, 86.

    Most distinguished of Ikuchan's performance was how she seems to enjoy playing the piano, the smile & enthusiasm displayed throughout the performance.. ;A;

    It contrasted with the more tense & serious expression of the other three contestants I saw (I didn't saw the last one). The judge were looking down most of the time, so I'm not sure did they noticed her expression (& it might add to her point if they did lol). But one of the judge said something along the line that it was a happy experience, so at the very least I guess they at least heard some of the enthusiasm.

    After her performance, there were many praise & applause for Ikuchan, more so then at least the previous two contestants I felt. The judges also seems rather impressed & was less critiquing than praising I felt, so when the score came out I must say I was a bit surprised & disappointed. I'm no piano expert but I do felt that technically the performance could have made a clear 2nd instead of a tie, or 1st even. Granted tho I myself felt the song was performed a bit slower than I would have liked in some part tho.

    All in all tho, it was a great experience to see Ikuchan perform. I rly rly hope she can get to do more related activities like these, & to see her more on shows. Ganbatte Ikuchan~ ;A;

    ^Better version than the other recording, however, Mayuyu's voice is still overpowering poor Ikuchan. [worried]

    Ikuchan just had her seitansai last sunday in Makuhari during the Baretta Kobetsu Handshake. As a fan of 48G for almost 3years, I have to say that was the best seitansai I ever saw/joined. I'll be writing my report later. Im still catching up with work.

    In case you havent read yet, ikuchan already updated her blog regarding her seitansai. Please do check her blog
