So I'm guessing any further TV performances of "Jiyuu na" will be on "The Girls Live".

I like the dances a lot more after seeing some of the cooler moves that were cut in favor of close-ups. I actually like Jiyuu even more with the entire dance, the energy is so crazy and some of the traveling the girls have to do to maintain position on the outer rim, it's amazing. There's so much chaos and hair-flipping in the improvised sections that I find myself watching each girl just to see the level of skill. Even the pros can have awkward moments and I'm surprised by how well some of the newer members did.

I actually think this might be the most talented line-up we’ve ever had. They’ve all become so reliable and talented.
It’s like a group of divas who are both talented and unique but don’t have the mainstream attention.

Mizuki acknowledges the Oricon weekly #2 rank and thanks everyone for their support. It is the last single for Harunan, so this will be a wonderful memory for them and everyone.
