Jounetsu JUMP
Opening song is "Jounetsu JUMP" performed by Arioka Daiki, Yabu Kota and a very cheerful Chinen Yuri with Sexy Zone, HipHop Jump, JaPAnese Hi!, TOY, Sanada Yuma and Nozawa Yuki. A.B.C-Z are joining in later. Nice starter, altough "Jounetsu JUMP" is not really a favourite of mine among the HSJ songs.

Jounetsu Medley
The theme medley consisting of "Jounetsu" performed by Nakajima Kento and Kikuchi Fuma, "Akaku Moyuru Taiyo" by HipHop Jump (featuring Mr.Muscle, again), "Primavera - Shakunetsu no Megami" by Sato Shori, Marius Yo and Matsushima Sou, "Truth" by Sanada and Nozawa, "LIPS" by TOY with Hagiya Keigo and Jesse Lewis and "Fire beat" by Kis-my-Ft2.
Very nice medley! My favourite parts were "Primavera - Shakunetsu no Megami" (Original by Shonentai) wich suited the performing trio perfectley well and "Truth", because finally my favourite dancers Watanabe Haruki and Morita Myuto are back on Shonen Club ! The Kis-my-Ft2 performance was also a good one.

Kis-my-Ft2 Medley
Medley of "Kiss fur U" and "Everybody go!". Really good and with a diffrent choreo than in the previous SC performances. Some of HipHop Jump, Haruki and Myuto are backdancing. Maybe that's why I liked this better than the Kis-my-Fts performances of last month?

Sexy Zone
The main attraction of the year the evening: The first performance of and by Sexy Zone!
Very effective lightning and stage smoke use during the introduction...I liked this a lot. Sexy Zone are around already for a while now trough magazines and TV appearances but to me this is the "offical" start. Now their adventure has really begun.
I love the song, I love the group, I love almost everything about this debut. But I said that before. Now to this particular performance: I was kind of surprised how much Shori is in the center of attention here (instead of Kento, whom I ecpected to be in the focus), but that's ablsolutley no complaint. I`m not so excited about the "roses as microphones"-thing, altough I see potential in making these roses a trademark for Sexy Zone (like the tongue for the Rolling Stones..yeah,let's aim high^^). But I hope they will limit their singing into roses only to performances of this song. I think at least Fuma will approve after his experience in this.

Talk Part
Talk part with Daiki,Chinen and Yabu in wich Sexy Zone are introducing themselfes. Marius seemed to be very emotional after his first Sexy Zone performance, but calmed down during the talk, Shori was as professional as always and Sou is just a natural when it comes to speaking before a camera ( It seemed he was willing to talk on until the end of the episode...). After them Fuma and Kento surprised the audience with the facts that they like hamburgers and banana-shakes. How random is that? But I guess it was intended to be funny. In fact it was.

A.B.C-Z Medley
Medley by A.B.C-Z of "Inazuma Venus", "Ai Nante", "code", "Kimi ni Kono Uta wo" and a dance part. Very rich in variety and witch good choreos. Sadly the cameraman uses close-ups too often wich is why some parts of the choreos are kind of wasted, at least for the TV audience. Haruki, Myuto, TOY and Hip Hop Jump are in this as dancers, Taiga shares leadvocals on "Ai Nante" with Hashimoto Ryosuke and Question? are backing up on all parts.

Talk part
Talk with A.B.C-Z and Daiki, Yabu and Chinen (Who doesn't talk here, he's just sitting around looking good. But he do that very well.)

Ashita no Tame ni Boku ga Iru
Rather unspectacular performance by A.B.C-Z. But it is notable that Kawai Fumito is already taking part in the performances again, even he can't do much more than just walk and do a step to the right or the left.

Very short talk part before the endstage with Daiki, Yabu and Chinen.

Ending
Endstage is "Venus" by Nakajima Kento, Kikuchi Fuma, A.B.C-Z, Kis-my-Ft2 and TOY with various Juniors, Hip Hop Jump, Haruki and Myuto in the back. Daiki, Yabu and Chinen are joining in in the middle of the song. Nice ending!

Encore : Ganbare Johnnys !
The first part of "Ganbare Johnnys!", the newest section of SMAP X SMAP. Highly entertaining!! SMAP + Juniors is a combination that works everytime! And since the first edition of "Ganbare Johnnys" featuered my two favourite mini juniors, Inoue Mizuki and Chino Aoi here it is. SMAP may not be my favourite band, but they are still my favourite entertainers!
