Huh? H!P groups cover other H!P groups all the time. Even MM15 is really just covering those old MM songs anyway. The only thing that really bugged me is that they gave so much full-on mic time to Kanako when (as adorable as she is) SHE CAN'T SING. I mean she made AKB sound like good singers in comparison. WHY WAS KANAKOO IN THE FRONT during Heavy Rotation, she damn near destroyed it. She's great with Momoclo's signature talky-shouty stuff but actual singing doesn't work for her. Actually when it came down to it, I thought AKB performed Ikuze kaitou shoujo better than Momoc-orz did.
Also, I didn't quite realize that Aitakatta is 9 years old. In my head I think of Love Machine as a super oldie and Aitakatta as from a totally different more recent era, but they're only six years apart. Also, I think this may have been my first time listening to an N46 song all the way through.
And tbh I didn't enjoy the Reni-Eripon tussle so much. It made Eri come off like a sourpuss. If I were a neutral observer I'd judge Takagi as the "winner" because she laughed the whole thing off.
