Thanks a lot! Those Fresh Juniors are actually called "Ae Shonen" in magazines and for Shonentachi, I hope we'll get to see more of them :D ...though I have to say I like the Tokyo version of the dance to With you better, but maybe that's because I've seen it first ^^

"Ae shonen"? What is that supposed to mean? I like the dance from the Tokyo version better too, but maybe just because the Kansai Juniors, ahem, the Ae Shonen only showed that short part and not the full choreo. And I was very surprised to see Iori as the center. I didn't expected that at all.

well it is written Ａぇ少年 and my guess is that it's pronounced as えぇしょうねん (ee shonen), which would be kansai-dialekt for "ii shonen", which would again mean something like "good/great boys" in English ^^ this is what japanese fans seem to think as well, I just checked~ http://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q1468481064
you're right, I would have expected one of the older boys to be center as well, but he did an ee - I mean great job xD

Danke für die detalierte Erklärung, das klingt einleuchtend! Wär ich natürlich selber nie drauf gekommen, das "normale" japanisch stößt mich schon an meine Grenzen, aber von Dialekten habe ich erst recht keine Ahnung^^
