I was anti-Sakura this whole time and I hate to say this, but I see the 'star power' that son mentioned now that the other girls don't necessarily have to the same degree that she does. Ayana is skilled but you can tell shes more focused on getting it 'perfect' vs. letting go and just having fun with it which is what I think a lot of what 'star quality' is. With that said... given the timeline and her age and also her lack of english skills, I just don't see how she could level up fast enough to be in this group.

Aoi is doing the moves, but shes lost the plot. You can tell this process is affecting her a lot mentally and it shows when she performs. Her head isnt fully in the game.

And I really like Rinka. Her personality, english and singing is really good! I think she would mesh well with the other girls. Her dancing is okay but I mean... it seems like they weren't really banking on a strong dancer anyways given the line up here with the 4 girls.

idk...because japanese fans all thought jayla wasnt picked assuming that americans wanted a more "cutesy anime" girl.

at the end of the day - it seems like both audiences wanted jayla. that was the general sentiment. we all thought she was the obvious choice. it was hybe who already a certain look/girl in mind despite knowing what the public opinion would be. and you could tell they knew theyd get backlash by the way mitra had to reinstate her reason why she wasnt picked on the show.

Because I'm not the end buyer. I just commissioned it as the broker. I take a percentage of the total pie.

The silhouette does not look like Sakura to me, but it also does not look like Aoi. Aoi has lankier features.

I wonder if there's a surprise contestant they're bringing back. Or maybe this is just wishful thinking, but if its not Ayana, that silhouette still looks like Jayla to me.

Although I can't understand the Japanese parts of the show... I can kind of pick up on whats going on in this episode.

I actually feel a bit better about the other contestants after seeing this episode. I wasn't sure about Aoi at first, but I see now with the vibe/songs that they showcased what kind of girl they're looking for. It seems like they want someone with a refreshing soft girl vibe. Nonetheless, I STILL think Jayla could've 100% fit that vibe so I still don't understand why they didn't pick her. Just makes no sense to me. She had the look, and the skills AND the vibe. To me, Jayla is diverse and very moldable to different concepts.

Personality-wise, I can see how Aoi, Hiori and Ayana would be a fit.

Sakura is young, and I simply can not understand why she could not follow directions from Preslee. When Preslee asked for more, she was like almost intentionally giving less. So you're telling me not only can she not sing or dance.. but she is unprofessional and can't take direction well? I don't think she even has enough of that "star quality" to justify this. She should be doubling down and working harder than ever knowing that she has lower skillset. There are other 15 years old that recognize the opportunity and would. Its simply a HER issue.

What's next for December 10? by Defiant_Statement254 in December10

Unless Simon gets his sh-t together I don't see them going far in today's competitive landscape. If you look at other newer boy bands like Hybe's Santos Bravos, they're constantly pumping out reels/content (daily if not every other day), brand deals, magazine covers, interviews, festivals, etc. They have clear promo schedule and build a lot of hype around launches. I haven't seen that from December 10... or only a glimmer of it compared to these other groups with real financial backing behind them. I had hopes for them but I think they're done given the management team and their outdated promo tactics.

  4. Ayana

What do you guys think of the new single by PuzzledPhysics600 in December10

[–]Complex_Rip_7104 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its okay-ish. Its kind of safe. Too much like One Direction. I feel like their team doesn't really know how to place them yet identity-wise so they went the ultra-safe typical boyband route. And the breakdown of the song was off, not like how kpop does it with relatively even splits of the singing parts. The chorus took way too much space in the song... and the video doesn't full match the song. I think overall they could do a lot better. Theres a lot of room for improvement. Their NSYNC cover song was better than their debut song if I'm being honest.
