USA50 and other Cringe Group Discussion

USA50 had started posting member videos. Hibiki still shows what's in her nose.

The logo is horrible....

It's not a group, but this girl keeps appearing in the " New Translated Video " on nico nico and she's on a top level of cringy. : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFHc-vIV10Q

>>9313443
You should have probably made an odottemita general thread so this thread could last awhile longer

>>9314366
I don't want to mix this mess in with odottemita and dance. They've shown they have no intent of putting out actual content, just clickbaity stuff to keep telling us what super great idols they're gonna be someday. How would they even do a group dance cover with none of the members in the same state?

>>9313664
It would be ok if it were a Kidz Bop comp. lol

>>9314495
They're all spread apart. Plus only one in the East unit which is Hibiki/Hoshi

I gave up on USA50 long ago
well not even gave up considering i never had hope for it in the first place seeing the name

>>9314340
this is one of the worst things i've ever seen

>>9314495
>How would they even do a group dance cover with none of the members in the same state?
Probably by editing together a hot mess like this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH8WFrJ3x3s

>>9314573
ugh groups like that usually never look good enough to enjoy
the closest I've seen to looking decently made being done that way is Oishii Project

>>9314573
Yeah but no one in that group can edit or record videos worth shit. Not even the "manager", so I don't think they'd even be able to do something rough like that.

>>9314578
It just shows how much gets missed when you don't practice as a group. Everyone has their own timing and even if the individual's dance is clean, it doesn't line up with the group. You can't fix issues like that if you can't practice as a group.

>>9314573
That's some pretty bad editing

>>9314582
that plus different video qualities, drastically different backgrounds, and different distances from the camera- it's just too much to try and match when everyone is separated like that

>>9314573
went to watch more of their videos and i regret it. Why does that one girl continue to wear fishnets like it's a tasteful fashion? And I see maybe two potential decent dancers and one of them doesn't even come into the video until a minute so in, wonder how they felt after seeing the finished videos.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bNwsk6ojEMU

>>9314573
I like how they could've synced the seperate videos to make the dancing look more in time but they just didn't. lmao.

also, the amount of unchecked dance boob flapping around in that makes me so uncomfortable. Buy a sportsbra.

>>9314598
Someone looked like they could barely stand up straight. They looked bent over the whole time

>does idol dances
>still this fat

>>9314716
Eh, you can dance all you want but still be fat if you eat like shit. It's possible to lose weight through learning weeb dances, but only if you treat it like serious exercise and make the appropriate lifestyle changes to go with it. Lots of people don't, they just want to be cute on youtube.

who the heck is USA50?

1B, 486x500px

>>9315156
From what I gather, they started off trying to actually become an official unit of AKB48 in America. The manager of USA50 even tried contacting AKB management to "hopefully be able to receive licensing and official status or endorsement from AKB48."

Now they're trying to "set up a national organization that will create and manage new original idol groups in different states and cities" in the U.S., inspired by AKB48.

I eagerly await the debut of this train wreck.

Why bully?

Oh no. Someone pulled the bully card. What ever shall we do?

this seems like a selfpost, i can't imagine anyone caring enough to make a thread about this haha

>>9315568
There was literally a whole thread dedicated to cringe? Just because USA50, the cringiest of cringe, was mentioned it's self post?

>>9315568
Pretty sure it's a thread dedicated to cringe. If you heard of the group USA50 and what they plan to do, you'd understand the cringyness level of the wannabe AKB group

>>9315598
wasn't talking about the cringe aspect

I looked it up and it's boring, they no content out yet but unrealistic goals. While there's true cringe groups out there like Flusay Girls with videos that could kill.

>>9315611
It's a general cringethread with USA50 mentioned. Get over it.

>>9315617
lul sure

>And other cringe group discussion

It's like you guys can't read.

>>9315616
"Chibi march" haunts my dreams...

>>9313446
I think she was kicked out or something.

>>9315616
Flusay Girls is by far the worst net idol group. Not only is their music shit, but they've been making this shit music for over 6 years with very little improvement.

Compare their first original song, Nyan Nyan Matte Matte (June 2010), to their latest, No More Salvation 2.1 (November 2016).

>>9316493
Was she? Can anyone confirm cause wow.

>>9316517
I'm more or less surprised that none of them have improved enough to not need so much autotune.

>>9316527
Looks like a few days ago, they posted the candidates that "passed" the 3rd round and Hibiki wasn't there. I'm dying to know whether there were any standards to passing the candidates or if they just got bored and dropped out, because I can't imagine the manager actually failing anyone when she was so desperate for people.

>>9316458
I still have nightmares

>>9316626
I could've sworn she was in that group but going back now she isn't. Other than Hibiki, only one person ain't there.

>>9316626
That post has been edited a few times. Hibiki either was kicked out or she left on her own because she along with Jade are gone.

edit history screenshot. wonder what happened hm

>>9316716
That makes so much more sense because I remember seeing it posted when six people had passed, and didn't think to check edit history. I thought I was just retarded and couldn't count when I went back to check.

>>9316517
I'm not in this scene and have never heard of this group before but holy shit both those videos are so bad...

Wait what!? Here I am thinking she's 24 at the most and is on some teen mom shit. So not only is she delusional, but she's 27 and with a child and living at home. Somehow that's worse than being delusional, 24, with child, and at home.

The third one isn't so bad. The one in the blue seems to be throwing them off but the girls in the purple and pink have good timing and precision. I'm sure if it was just the two of them it wouldn't be that bad.

>>9318971
Well, shit. This is my university.

>>9316517
...Is their group name pronounced 'FloozyGirls'?

>>9319480
I think it's said how it's spelled. "Flu say"

1B, 486x500px

>>9319546
Yeah, it's pronounced "Flu-say." The name is an unfortunate combination of the creators of the group's names, Flugel and Lindsay.

>>9318968
I worry about her daughter. How is she going to turn out with a mother who's being too busy dancing in school girl uniforms and managing an online group of weeby wanna-be-idol teenagers to get a job?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK9qewNOpOY

>>9318972
>>9318972
i didn't think the second group was that bad. At least not as bad as most of the other groups in this thread.

Furi Furi isn't necessarily the worst group, but they are consistently bad/mediocre with no improvement.
They dance the same basic dances that everyone's done before (Yo-kai Watch, First Kiss, Hapi Hapi Morningu, etc.) with no energy and are never in sync with each other.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw3z23QuZfA
Their live performances are pitiful. Notice how hardly anyone's paying attention to them in the beginning, the quiet pity applause after each song and how many people leave in the first 6 minutes of the video.

>>9319581
Honestly, if anything happens to her it's going to be her child isn't in her care anymore. I'm sure her parents know and are probably fed up. I'm not saying she's not a good parent but she lives at home and still has wannabe idol dreams at 27. She's not making money (or if she is then not much), she's not improving laughable composition skill so she could make money, and she does shit like in that picture which is horribly unsightly. She's going down a stupid path.

When I see Nanami, I get to urge to punch my screen. I wonder what would happen in real life.

First time hearing about Nanami. Spice anyone?

>>9320961
27 years old unemployed with a kid. Wastes time prancing around in tiny school girl uniforms and with her "net idol" group Flusay Girls instead of providing for her kid. Shitty composing skills and lyrics. Just a delusional weeb.

>>9320828
That wasn't the face I was expecting, she looks 30

>>9320828
Whoever's handing Holly the shoe box has hairy arms. I'm guessing it's her dad.

On a slightly related note...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0I3pHiwD_go
Astrid's and Calla's segments are cringey enough, but then I notice the camera is being held by someone and I cringe even harder imagining that maybe some poor family member had to be subjected to that IRL.

>>9320991
Honestly, the only "good"/"cute" one in that whole clip was Astrid. Other than the last girl, she's the only cute one in that whole group. The rest were ............. yeah.

>>9314573
The girl in the purple and the girl in the grey at least look like they have some potential, but most of the girls look like they can't even remember the dance or never learned it properly, especially pink.

>>9314598
These videos are pretty hard to watch, but everyone looks like they're having a lot of fun.

>>9316517
Yikes, I really wanted to like this since they at least tried to make the backgrounds coherent, but the song is so awful, they're all singing off key, and everyone looks so awkward on camera.

>>9318921
Yikes, the manager looks like she's following a mirrored dance tutorial in her videos.

>>9318972
the first one, is that a guy?

>>9314340
The only part that I didn't cringe at was the rabbit puppet honestly. That part was actually kind of cute.

>>9314598
I can see what this group is going for and it's really unfortunate that they aren't all in the same place to practice/work as a team. They've made a good attempt at least, and hopefully they're having fun. I wish they'd all standardize their backgrounds somehow though. Something as simple as filming in front of a white wall or green screen would be great.

>>9316517
YIKES

>>9318921
Holy shit that Chibi March video is nightmare fuel. And so is the Remix song... Are they TRYING to be scary?

Why the unnecessary intro/outro for the Yokai Watch dance cover? Completely unrelated and just awkward...

Oh my GOD the toddler watching Beethoven? WHY? I didn't realize until after reading the comments that he was her son (and not younger brother, which I thought), but either way, unless the song is about a kid.. why would you include him?

>>9320991
God, this whole thread is a cringe goldmine. This video though... a special dose of cringe. It's all so scripted and awkward... I wish they'd at least practice their lines and try to act natural instead of like anime characters.

>>9321615
If you thought that was bad...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7nE1XWhBCY
But honestly, these kinds of videos are the only thing I "dislike" about Platinum Happy (and even then it's still entertaining in a way).
Their songs are decently mixed, no one's a particularly bad singer... I give them a 10/10 compared to shit like >>9318921

Anyone remember Sakura Station or LolliPOP Project? Those were the only groups I can remember that were as bad, if not worse, than Flusay Girls but they deleted their channels.

>>9321750
Ew. Can none of the afford to film outside for outside themed videos? As far as Sakura Station and LolliPOP, Sakura stuff is gone but lollipop's pages are there just dead (videos private). But does anyone know what happened to Sakura Station? That was crazy because the leader said something about everyone sucking or something?

I don't understand why Crystal Rose has teams.

>>9321931
why they feel the need to have trainees when the actual members themselves aren't good themselves is mind-boggling

>>9321965
One of two reasons. To make themselves look better or to distract from themselves.

>>9318971
would have been better if they didn't sing

>>9321750
Oh no... So much cringe. So. much.
I guess I'll have to listen to their music though

Amaitsuki has a new generation also. Sadly I can't link the announcement from their page.

>>9323893
Why does it seem like Ice Qream (and basically every other group) never sings in their own voices?

>>9323970
Because their real voices aren't ~kawaii~ enough

>>9323576
this one is cute at least

>>9323970
gotta have the kawaii japanese idol voice
*cringe*

>>9324012
Lol not it's not.

>>9324281
I meant the girl

>>9323622
>2013
Trust me, this chick has changed alot since then and is probably the most talented out of the whole group.

>>9324399
she's a way better dancer than the rest, but she needs to give up on the singing and stick to dance covers.

>>9324005
>>9324037

Despite all the idols with amazing voices, they chose the annoying ones.

>>9324407
Considering Nanami autotunes all their voices, I don't even know what she sounds like. Is there anything besides Flusay Girls (or any mix besides Nanami's) that she sings in?

>>9324407
I'd rather hear Yaima sing on her own. She may not be good but she doesn't need nearly as much work as those others.

USA50 just updated their site and it's blinding - https://sites.google.com/view/usa50project/

>>9324681
It's so fucking white. But at least it's better than that train wreck they had before.

>>9324407
Yaima is a good dancer (can't vouch for her singing since I can't find anything not butchered with autotune) but aside from that, the rest of FG is completely devoid of any talent or personality, so why bother holding a popularity contest?

Well, it's true that Sakura Station did suck, but the former leader of SS (Juju) is still an active member of Flusay Girls...

>>9326634
1st girl the fuck was she doing-
2nd girl actually had a decent voice since she wasn't trying to be all "kawaii" with it
3rd girl had the most video time? didn't seem too fair.
4th girl was actually pretty good, she danced as well so woop for more effort.

>>9326634
This is so hard to watch.

This stuff just baffles me. It's like...they have all these little details and rankings and member profiles but they all are frumpy or have that invisible nerdy girl who cares enough to not look like a slob but doesn't care how she looks otherwise look. I expected them to be dressed all seifuku or weeb gear. Or for actual cute girls to be attracted to this retardeness. It creeps me out for some reason.

I find solace in thinking that a real life Muse would be made up of nerdy out of shape weirdos anyways.

>>9326076
The angle made me feel very uncomfortable.

>>9327219
These weebs think they can just do a Love Live! song/dance cover and become the next top aidoru!! (some of these net idols genuinely believe they can become actual idols in Japan) with no actual skill, talent or effort.

I guess I can see the appeal in being an online "idol" to teenage weebs, but what about these grown ass women >>9326015 >>9318921

>>9314340
yo her puppet skills tho

>>9321750
I remember a few groups that were created by girls who left the idol groups they just entered, before actually getting to sing anything to start their own, never actually releasing anything. And the names were pretty generic.


>>9323893
From Ice Qream's video I liked the voices of the girl with glasses and the girl with the tattoo choker, but wtf happened at 1:57.
Overall, they need to work on their corporal expression, some of them look like they were forced to be in the video, other look scared.

Also, I thought Crystal Rose was done.

>>9327980
Lol nope. Their wiki says a new single is coming out this year. The one thing Crystal Rose does somewhat right is that they don't waste time doing covers and focuses on original songs.

But let's be real - why do any of these groups think they can be successful in Japan when they don't even bother to sing or SPEAK in Japanese and don't do anything worth noticing? They should give up if they aren't going to actually do something worth while.

>>9319464
W-w-w-which university anon? It really looks familiar to me.

>>9327980
>I remember a few groups that were created by girls who left their idol groups to start their own, never actually releasing anything
Sounds like you're talking about MilkyWays, formed by a former member of Platinum Happy but all they ever did was release these cringy introductory videos and then nothing else.

Didn't know people interested in fashion had to wear fashionable stuff all the time. Or at all. But here what she was wearing was a bad choice.

>>9333203
just when i thought it wasn't going to get worse the singing starts-

and what the heck is up with the big jar of peanut butter????

>>9333203
it really bothers me when dancers don't wear shoes or at least socks unless the dance/location actually calls for it (like the beach, or a love live dancer set cosplay)

>>9333203
Ew. Any more examples of bad singers?

>>9333210
I don't know her or anyone else's reasons but I know that sometimes when I dance, depending on the floor, wearing certain shoes or socks makes it harder to move.

>>9333206
Seeing as this is split screen, she probably did it to keep kerself from crossing the screen so that her hands weren't cut off.

!אני באמת כושי. העברית שלי לא כל כך טוב

>>9335267
if your hebrew isnt good why are you writing in it?

I feel like the dance cover culture is slowly disappearing. Most of the girls that danced a few years ago vanished, or they privated all of their videos. Even the cringe queens.
The german girl in this thread doesn't attempt even the easiest vocaloid dances.
I kind of miss seing danjo covers, or danceroid's first kiss. Everything is love live now and it bores me. I rarely encounter good groups, and when I do, I just hope they'd dance something else.
Maybe it's the new copyright system on youtube that killed any potential good dancers by taking down their channels.

>>9335267
Bumping out of context is a thing?

>>9335869
I agree. I'm getting sick of seeing Love Live videos all the time. But aside from Japanese Pop and Vocaloid (which is dwindling in terms of dance), it's always LL. There's a load of groups to learn dances from.

>>9335869
I know Hello!Project covers lessened when they stopped releasing dance shots publicly. And AKB stuff is usually flagged pretty quickly.

>>9335954
IMO that just makes people who do Hello! Project dances look lazy. It's fairly easy to find dance shots online or to see their lives (like Mushidashi de) online where they do the dance. They just don't take time to look or, like people used to do with k-pop, find videos where they clip the dances together.

any new cringe?

>>9326184
>There's a wiki for this shit?
Yep. It was created by wannabe aidorus like Hoshi Teruko and the founders of failing/failed net idol groups so they can promote themselves.

Also, I've just noticed something about one of Flusay Girls' songs...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TMTzn6vQsA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8_iafVEIZU
No More Salvation is just a really shitty version of Tommy February6's Runaway. I don't know whether it's intended to be a "cover" or "remix" of TF6's Runaway (if so, it's never stated anywhere) or if it's a just shameless ripoff, but regardless it sounds like shit.

Curious about their defense is. If they even give one.

I guess I discovered Flusay Girls' dirty little secret. They've removed nearly every video of No More Salvation from their Youtube and even removed it from their Bandcamp. I really wish I would have saved it!

>>9341606
They could've claimed it was just a remixed cover, or heavily inspired by the song they ripped off.

Flusay Girls confirmed for worst net idol group- not only are they talentless, they're plagiarists as well.
Oh, and hello, lurking Flusay member. I may not have been able to save the full song, but I did download the several demos of the song you forgot to delete from Soundcloud :)

>>9341653
They should just admit their wrongdoing. I blame Namami. She's the one who made it so she obviously knew what she was doing. Further goes to prove she's scum.

Do any of these western idol aspiring groups realize that the real key to success is a talented producer to compose the music, decide on theme/gimmick, organize choreography, promotion, marketing, schedule performances and basically run the group while the performers just focus on singing and dancing practice?

>>9342860
Ahaha yeah... if you're under a contract with a company. It's entirely possible to run a group on your own (because people have using their own funds what a shock) but they don't put any real effort into it. They try to do everything themselves without any real background knowledge or putting money out which makes them cheap. I'm surprised Crystal Rose's UK unit even uses a dance room. This key to success you speak of is what is somehow engrained as what you need to be successful which isn't true. The word you're looking for is a manager - which none of them have. And not all groups have a theme/gimmick. It also doesn't help that they do not at all cater to their target audience: the Japanese.

I can't stand that first girls voice. The rest are not bad voice wise though

I think someone else might be thinking the same as I am. I can't laugh at her, but I pity her for a delicate reason. I might be wrong, though. For a few minutes I thought this was some kind of parody, and now I just feel bad.

seeing the quality i thought this would be years old.
This is from Jan of this year.

It's from an anime. I looked it up myself because it sounded familiar. Someone remixed it (obviously).

>Dude
those tits man

I found a confession blog on tumblr that relates to foreign idols and net idols called anidolsconfessions after digging around the somewhat dead usa50 tag.

>>9335877
I would love to know of these groups that don't do Vocaloid dances (even if it is original choreo). I'm in a dance club at uni and we struggle to find JPop with formations like Kpop does (the draw of our club).
We have done Perfume, C-ute, Fairies, Girl's Generation, Tempura Kidz, Kyary, Daichi Miura, Flower...always teetering on picking E-Girls, and I always shill for 1,2,3 by Morning Musume but it never gets picked lol.

Does cgl know of any other impressive looking dances by decently well-known groups?

>>9348269
the problem is that it sounds like your group is too afraid to venture out of kpop. The jpop groups you have done so far are amazing picks but in reality, your group needs to start boarding their horizons. I only say this because ive witnessed my uni group lose more members than gaining because they would focus 75% of their showcases on kpop. The kpop gimmick can only work for so long.

Keep recommending One, Two, Thee but here is a list of recommendations:

It will work forever when it's one of the few colleges that offers a degree in Korean. There are a ton of koreaboos here, in fact there are two other exclusive kpop clubs.

Thanks, I love the first one and will keep these saved for next semester! But it makes me remember - they don't like dances with microphones. I think it'd be cute to hold fake ones but whatever...it honestly does annoy me, I'm a fourth-year and every year they're like "WE NEED JAPANESE SONG SUGGESTIONS" but find problems with all idol-like dances I put out. Like River, there. Never made it.

>>9348269
Maybe look into GEM or Passpo ? GEM has nice dance and are a more mature group I would say, with a lot of members and nice formation. Passpo has some awesome songs too. Cheeky Parade are nice too, from the groups you didn't do dance already.

>>9348287
look up Faries. Bling Bling my Love seems like something a kpop fan would like.

https://youtu.be/L4osj-I4CrI

when you look at the first one this seems like an improvement. Won't fully know until the full comes out but the dances look better. The some solos need work.

>>9348700
Even the girl in pink shows some improvement.

not great, but at least there's improvement there. Disappointed in how they sung kanashiki heaven though, more impressive if you switch harmonies like the original girls do.

>>9348989
Yeah but knowing how Juju's voice isn't particularly strong it was best. But it would've been better to see the alternating.

>>9326634
Wow that first girl sounds exactly like me when I get carried away and try to sing. The difference between us is that I am aware my voice is shit and only expose others to it when we're all very, very drunk.

>>9331287
my exact thoughts

>>9349148
would have been alright if she actually hit the right lower notes, most times it sounds off

a friend of mine noticed how BerriTeam Victory got way over 1,300 likes in a week anyone else think that's fishy? They're at 1,900 now. They haven't even released any videos

Was wrong about crystal rose uk

They're still shit. How has no one even corrected the pink girl. She's horrible. Juju get out of that group. Naomi get out of that group. If Ash is good, just kick the other three out.

And I doubt they've gone viral.

At first I suspected they were using an old page which already had likes but this seems like they're just buying them.

>>9353856
The remind me of Project Passion, they did the same thing without actually uploading anything, but member profiles.

They announced they would be at a con. Could that be it?

>>9353910
nah, couldn't be

>>9353850

Thanks for calling me a wannabe! It literally has 0 effect on me. ^+^ And I liked the page because I'm interested in them. You know, that human trait that any normal person has. You obviously have some interest in me and Tony and Nicole are to even know who we are. But thanks. ^+^

>>9353993
Hoshi/Hibiki, quit embarrassing yourself. The only reason any of us are aware of who you are is because of your hilariously awful, cringe-worthy performances and your delusion in thinking you could actually make it as an idol in Japan despite being hopelessly untalented. Even USA50 kicked you out and their standards were low enough already.

>>9354087
The fact that you thought this was Hibiki is funny because it's not. It's Angel.

At least amina didnt have to buy likes. Ngl would perfer amina over this girl and her group.

>>9354102
>>9354105
It sounds like she is trying to one up Amina in the most cringiest way possible by trying to produce a better idol group? Trying to shut down cringe with more cringe will make it even cringier. Plus her buying likes for the group is making her more cringy at this point.

>>9354108
On that front yeah but I'd rather have three realistically bad girls than one wannabe loser who thinks she's talented and anyone but her is a weeb. IMO Amina isn't even news worthy. She's a bikini model but is flat as a pancake and her wig is shit.

>>9354145
You're right it's a lot of salt because for a black girl to try and be an idol and "represent others" she sure is just as shitty as the next.

Why do black girls keep talking shit about each other?
Anyway, If berriteam isn't worth the likes they have bought, I won't be surprised if they get humilliated. They should learn a lesson or two about honesty and humbleness.

>>9354140
>>9354146
>>9354148
Only teya would be so dedicated to ragging on and making it more about amina to hide her just as ugly attitude and make herself seem more superior.

>>9354157
Literally this and Teya is just salty about not as successful as Amina. Despite Amina's ugly attitude, we cant deny the fact that she actually worked her way to where she is even if she already hit her peak.

>>9354160
Or it could just be someone who really does not like Amina??????????????? Or does everyone like her except for Teya. I can tell you with confidence Teya doesn't even know this thread exists. She nor Amina give a shit about stuff like this. Yeah Amina worked her way to the top but if you go after someone you can be sure that they'll go after you. The only way for black girls to stop talking shit about each other is for them to stop acting like every little thing is a drama but none of the girls in the kawaii community know how to do that.

>>9354163
Shit, now I think you are Teya.

>>9354165
I'm literally not Teya. I live in a totally different state than Teya. You guys find any reason to say "you're this person aren't you". If you don't believe it go ask Teya.

I find it hard to believe that they think they are getting so many likes so fast without something that might explain it, like a cosplay photo with a massive cleavage. They haven't shown their mad dancing skills to be that popular so fast.

That was a public status. Why wouldn't the other members know? Everyone in the community knows getting likes that fast is not easy, even asking your whole family and contacts doesn't add up. Even the most succesful dance or weeb groups really worked hard to get their following, or had someone "famous" to ask their followers to follow said group or project. Who do they have? Exactly, nobody.

They can play dumb, but you can't. You know what's going on. We all do.

I didn't see the comment on the post Teya made which is why I was agreeing with that anon. But it is entirely possible they saw what Alice said and ignored it. Or ignored Teya's post in general.

>>9356213
>>9356530
I'm in my third year of learning and in my classes we're taught that Japanese people don't say "name desu" but instead use "name to imasu / to moushimasu" although with it being a video there might be different unspoken rules idk. "country-jin" may also be weird (as opposed to "country kara kimasu"). She probably only has read a book or looked at an online page by the cardinal sin of using "watashi wa" in a video about herself. I know technically not all native Japanese speak the same but still it's 101 stuff.

I couldn't watch past that so if she spoke more later forgive me lol

>>9356615
"to moushimasu" is more of what you use when first introducing yourself or if you're in a mega formal setting from what I've learned. They do use desu but more of a "we're already but still here's my name" thing if that makes sense. As far as "country-Jin", she's not wrong. You can be American but from Japan or Japanese from Canada and stuff. Her nationality is America so she's not wrong based on her sentence.

>>9356644
I took it that she *was* introducing herself for the first time since she was "introducing" her knowing another language to the audience

>>9356536
I think Stellure's fanbase is genuine. People are actively commenting on Stellure's posts, talking about how much they enjoyed their livestreams and how hyped they are for their upcoming debut. I think they're probably Love Live! fans who are excited to see teenagers like themselves being like a real life μ's.

Despite "gaining" 7,000+ likes on Facebook in less than a week, BerriTeam receives no more than 30 likes on their posts and no comments.

>>9356536

So BerriTeam has a lot of videos on their channel now. Some from way in 2011.

at least 5'6ish? with out the heels. i have some of those boards at the beginning of the video and i'm 5 foot. their at least 6 feet tall

>>9362179
Most of their videos don't even have that many views. The video with the most views (1,464) is the worst.

>>9362541
Yeah only 8 have over 500, but their most is over two thousand.

>>9362179
Were they just BerriTeam before? I was really confused about where all the old videos came from, but it seems that their "debut" is just the same group with a slightly different name.

>>9362694
They're a "revival" of BerriTeam from what I saw somewhere. Even the girl in the middle of their current picture was from the first group.

>>9366168
I liked the boy and the blonde girl, thought she needs a little more definition. The other girl was fine, but at times she had trouble with her sync and energy. She needs more practice and stamina. I think them sticking together would improve the overall performance, they have potential, obviously the boy was the best because he made his performance look effortless.

Pretty cool, can't really judge the dance and I wish it was better mixed because we can't really hear them sing, but the video is edited in a cool way at least. Camerawork is meh but they worked okay with it I think.
Sorta unrelated to the video but I wish some of them did a better effort on make-up and hair. Especially Ume, Mikan and that girl in between them, although the picture does not do them any favors either.

She is super stiff in some parts, and comes across as awkward and uncomfortable in others, maybe she should try a song that is not sexy-ish (I don't think °C-ute suits her), because her stiffness was highlighted with that choice. But anyway, final comment on them buying likes: That dance is definitely not worth 9k Likes, If the other members are on the same or lower level as her, I'd say they are standing in thin ice if they want to prove their worth on April 8th, but again they have some time to train and practice hard.

at times it looks like she's just flailing about when it's supposed to be a hard-hitting dance

You'd think they'd take skilled dancers in the first place though. I know not everyone is great but if you're going to show off "skill", at least have some.

>>9367381
It didn't feel like she knew what she was doing. Some parts yeah but other parts were just wtf.

The moment I saw "二十歳" in the video title I was like "I will bet actual money she says it wrong" and I was right.

>>9369511
No you were wrong. First she says 19 then she says she will be 20. You can say nijuusai or hatachi. She said the former. At least find an accurate reason to correct her.

they aren't necessarily bad? but yet still cringy somehow

as happy as i am with jpop dance getting more popular at western conventions, I'm getting pretty annoyed at so many terrible love live groups..

Speaking of brought likes, their numbers stopped growing about a week ago and I saw someone posted this while catching up.

And thirty minutes later it was gone.

How insane she can be? She seems dangerous now, I wish someone contacted her parents, I wouldn't be surprised if she hurts someone in the near future. I think her "boyfriend" might be someone who just uses her to get nudes. Poor girl.

She really needs help... she's seriously scary. I really hope it's some troll shit but.

At first Stellure said they would be debuting with an original song and music video on March 4th, but now they're saying they're not prepared yet and that they're scouting for someone to compose original music.

So many of these amateur idol groups get way too ambitious and have unrealistic goals... USA50 thinks they can be the American AKB48 and make Japanese idol culture popular in America. Then there are those idol wannabes who create a new idol group every other week, try to start fundraisers to launch their debuts, and then the group dies before releasing any content (Rebel Symphony, Shining Royalty / Shining Academy, etc...)

I really think idol anime like Love Live! has made these people think being an "idol" is so easy and fun or whatever.

>>9378279
I really got curious as to why Stellar thought that they suddenly wouldn't be ready. If they were practicing as much as they let on, they should be more than ready. They surely seem to have enough time to make covers and costumes.

I think idol anime and idol culture is misleading. There's barely any idol group that really shows what it's like to be an idol. They think it's just auditioning then being friends and releasing stuff when there needs to be actual work involved. Even the current groups are mediocre at best. The most "professional" in terms of actual content is probably crystal rose. They're mostly silent but when they release something it's their own, not a plagerized song or a cover.
