So that everyone else doesn't have to Google it, Ogino Karin is a gravure model/actress.

[wotakubrandon]

More importantly she's Akiba Yellow.

[boinsie]

Yes, for anyone that's into Sentai spoof series, she's Akiba Yellow.

[wotakubrandon]

WASN'T THAT GIRL FROM THE POSSIBLE OR CANARY CLUB GOSEI YELLOW!

Coincidence?

Obviously.

Oooh and Mano was a Kamen Rider right?

Commentary about this performance and the shuffles in general:
This was a pretty solid group. In a lot of the other performances J=J members tend to look weak (because let's be real, at this point they aren't even "debuted" yet) but its amazing how Karin really holds her own. The only parts I didn't really love were Ayumi and Akari who both tend to shout their lines as oppose to actually sing them. But other than that I see why Ayumi, Captain, Saki, and Karin would be put in the same group (what with the song being a high energy dance track and they probably didn't account for Karin having a hurt leg). Akari being in this group was a little weird though.

Magic of Love:
Odd. The line up just doesn't really make sense. Chisato, Risako, and Meimi can obviously belt it out (especially Meimi, she really out-sang everyone). But then they stuck the Chinami-Zukki-Katsuta fodder who just don't really measure up. The group seemed mismatched.

Uchouten Love:
Absolutely fantastic. Sayu really does well. Probably helps that Uchouten Love fits perfectly with her cutesy voice (ditto for Maimi). Yurina pulled off cutesy surprisingly well. Akari is an example of J=J girls looking a little amateur comparatively but she still did well. Especially considering who she got grouped with.

Iku ZYX:
I'm in the group that finds Riho's voice usually pleasant so no real complaints. The song did seem odd as a duet though. Especially with the lack of dancing, they didn't really capitalize on Miyabi's experience or Riho's expertise.

Today is My Birthday:
Anybody that gets put in a group with Airi is pitied. Because obviously the group instantly becomes Airi focused/centered. They can't really help it either. Girlfriend is just that naturally good.
That being said this is another group where it was a little weird. Kanana, Sayubee, and Kuduu seem a little mismatched with Airi and Maimi.
And I'm seriously loving Maimai's extensions. Hella Amuro like. Especially with the fact that Maimai has a great RBF, slender figure, and unique voice just like Amuro.

Only two joint performances and no shuffles? That's lame.

Also Kana. No.

[Sohee]

Totally disappointing... lack of shuffles etc. ):
Interested to see Kana's hair o.o I doubt I'll like it... but here's hoping.
