Thank you for the clips =D.

First, about Jin: he was nowhere near as awesome in this performance as he was the times I saw him live in America. Something was clearly off with him here. Oh well, I still really enjoyed the talk segment. By the way, Daiki gave a reason for why Fujigaya and Kawai showed up. According to Daiki: "they saw you too up-close and had to come out" xD.

Second of all, I'm getting so spoiled with all the attending that Myuto is getting ^^. It's absolutely ideal for a fan like me. At first I was torn about the hat, because as hot as he looked in it, it partially obscured his face, but then we got to see him toss it away, so it was great :D. I hope Myuto keeps getting to wear classy costumes like these.

Nakaken and Fuma are clearly JE's newest explosively dynamic duo. That was one of the greatest duets I've ever seen.

"Gentles" is probably Hikaru's best solo song. It's amazing the way he owns the stage and showcases his goofy coolness when he performs it. Keito was very cool too, of course, but that's to be expected from our British rock star ^^.

There was not enough Shintaro in this episode, but other than that, it was fantastic. Oh, and Juri's rapping is fantastic.

I just hope the amount of attention for Myuto isn't just a flash in the pan. We`ve waited long enough for him being back in the spotlight..

I think "Gentles" is Hikarus best solo song,too. In every case it is the solo he seems to enjoying the most himself.

I also hope for more of Shintaro next time. At the moment it seems to me Juri has kind of outstripped him. (Wich doesn't mean I want to see less of Juri..)

I like that the producer(s) of Shokura is/are trying to give face time to a lot of different junior groups, and I appreciate how difficult it must be. So in that sense, I can't be too upset when my favorites don't get a lot of spotlight. It should get a little better when Ebikissu move on (but hopefully leave Hasshi behind! I shouldn't say that, because ABC-Z has been an amazing opportunity for him and has helped him grow so much, but I'll miss him...).
And on a completely different note, I just noticed Nakaken dancing himself out of his pants xDDD. I kept wondering: "what's the codpiece like cloth hanging, uh, between his legs?" and then I finally realized that it was a belt sort of thing that must have gone around his hips, under his long jacket. It came unattached about a minute and a half into the "Yokubo no Rain" performance, during the first chorus, and just sort of flapped around for the rest of it. Well, at least he didn't lose his pants completely, like Shoon did in that one performance xD.
