im not gonna watch anything till the subs are out, can't wait!

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

this is so rigged bc the judges actually judged true and fairly to everyone except sakura. she was not that good and deserved a worse score

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

MTE

Other trainees who received an A score are better than her. The disparity between her and somebody like Kwon Eunbin or Takeuchi Miyu is too big. Even Jurina got a B.

If she doesn't improve in the following weeks, I'm convinced that Mnet has already chosen members for the final group. Now they're just pushing the audience in their direction.

pretty much been Sakura's entire career tbh

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

there would be an uproar if akb48's centre member was any less than an A tbh. lbr mnet wants her there coz she would be the biggest draw for akb48 fans to keep watching/buying the music

[drownanddive.livejournal.com]

Jurina deserved an A more than her. #everybodyknows

[annayism.livejournal.com]

meh i feel the same way about sakura's initial level as i did with somi's. like they both deserved a B but i guess they have good stage presence?? anyways i also do agree with sakura's re-evaluation level tho.

i don't understand how some of the korean trainees couldn't memorize at least some of the japanese...i don't know japanese and after listening to the song like 3 times i can remember some of the phrases.

NGL a big smile on face came when they all danced to Heavy Rotation

Sakura's body roll is gonna haunt me for a while.

mnet is so obviously biased towards sakura & gaeun and they both do nothing for me

Okay...
Jurina is nice
Sakura as cute
I feel like those two are a definite lock for or the final I final group. I know nothing about AKB48 but those two along with a couple of other girls are frequently mentioned. I also think they would’ve easily pass in a standard k pop group.
PLAying W/ Fire- Short Hair girl was it! I liked this group the best (though I think Stone Entertainment was probably the best) of this week’s batch of auditions. A lil sloppy but they worked.

NMB48- Pinkcoat girl is a new one my list. SHe is like Jurina and Sakura. Talent aside they kind of have a lock on the stage. In fact this girl pretty much had the others up there for backgrounds.
*skips a few*
Stone Music- I need subs to find out why Gyuri is being put through this (again) and not like several other girls (is natty a free agent atm? Shin Sia? Overall they were fine. They already been through this and quite frankly it’s apparent two of them are meant to make it in the long run.
So anyway, I think sure positions are guaranteed to Sakura, Gauen, and maybe Jurina.
Anyway I cannot for group performances. I know they spend like five episodes on one round of performances because of all the behind the scenes group drama and all that.

i adore sakura but giving her A was just laughable. you know damn well that bae yoon jung knew what she was doing when she convinced everyone to go with A as her rank and giving jurina B.
mnet is probably salivating rn and patting themselves on the back for this after what happened during senbatsu.

sidenote: i watched that cut of really young trainees before second ep and i'm still haunted by it. it was framed as "see how talented korean trainees are when they are so young and how terrible japanese are" but i was left with a very uneasy feeling when i saw how normal and age appropriate jpn performance was while whatever korean ones did... still haunts me

[spainawards2008.livejournal.com]

Sakura's performance was.... a thing. I was shocked to see she got an A rank. That's clearly not based on her skills cause others danced and sang better but we'll see how she goes. I thought Jurina did better if we're pitting them against each other.

I loved the HOW trainees. I want them to just debut as a trio a'la Orange Caramel already. Girl in yellow had sharp moves, I heard girl in blue got an A rank. I hope they do well.

And for some reason I really like Muto Tomu and I hope she does well. She's cute to me for some reason. Miyu has the best voice of the Japanese girls from what I saw and would be a solid addition to the final group.

My bf and I just watched the rerun (I kind of convinced him to watch since the rerun ended right before the SK v. Mexico match was to begin), and we both said that if Jurina got a B then Sakura should’ve gotten a B or worse....when they gave her the A, we simultaneously said, “WTF” LOL

[unelixir.livejournal.com]

sakura should've gotten a B cause i'm sure she'd be re-evaluated to an A, i mean she's so determined and hard working after all. anyway, i just don't see anything special with gaeun? i feel like her's and sakura's grade were inflated.
