So I haven't been all that active of late, mostly due to school and other commitments, but I couldn't resist making this post about Kishi Yūta. I don't think he's especially cute, but I can't deny that he's an extremely energetic dancer. Like seriously extremely energetic. Of course it's nice to see juniors who are really enthusiastic, but I think that Kishi Yūta might want to tone down his passion a little bit. And here's why.
The Scene: October 7th, 2011 Episode of Shokura. The Song: "With You" performed by Nakaken, Kuramoto, Shōri, Takahashi Fū, Yo Marius, Matsushima Sō, Jingūji, Haniuda, and Kishi.
As you can see, Kishi has a regular microphone, just like all the other juniors
And then, at approximately 5:33, after he does a spin to start dancing solo for Nakaken, he loses his microphone.

The mic on the floor.
After his little solo dance is over, Kishi scoops up the mic like a pro at approximately 5:36.
And for a little while, there's no more trouble. It didn't even matter that he'd lost his mic because Nakaken was having his solo lines at that point. The performance of Kishi and the other juniors continues flawlessly. But then, at around 6:39, when Kishi gets some more solo dance time, he loses his microphone again.
The moment where the mic flies off.
Look on the floor; that's Kishi's mic. Drop number 2 as a result of being a little over-enthusiastic. Only this time, Kishi wasn't able to pick up the mic. So he pretends.

In his defense, Kishi carried on performing like a real professional, something that's always admirable in juniors. Yeah, the faking was obvious and a little bit silly, but he kept smiling and dancing and just generally be adorable and awesome. I think he deserves two thumbs up for his effort. But he should definitely try to tone down his dancing a little, as I'm sure that he got chewed out by the director(s) or coach(es) afterwards. It's expensive equipment and all. But seriously, well done Kishi Yūta. You're not the cutest of the juniors, but you know what you're doing.
Also, Matshushima Sō has clearly recently learned how to do a body roll and wanted to show it off as much as possible in one performance xD.
