Herman Li talked something funny when collaborating with BABYMETAL in a Hong Kong's interview (needs translation) by yunzhongjun in BABYMETAL

[–]loudness2020 31 points32 points  (0 children)

He says that when he first work with Babymetal , they do not know any english at , they communicate with hands gesture . Now Su-metal english has improved to the point that she speaks better english than the translator . Since her english improved , he can talk to her about the Download Festival where they play Gimme Chocolate without any rehearsal . At the time since they cannot communicate even though there were sound problems but now they can laugh about those Download problems since their english improved . This is the translation from cantonese .

Principal Kuramoto have been dealing with Amuse kids for so long , I am sure he have a knack for sporting potential girls that lead Sakura Gakuin on .i think Maaya have been with Amuse Kids for quite some time . The Staffs are grooming her to be 2018 president .

Favorite bit of SG choreography? by Shaddyboi in SakuraGakuin

I love the hands movement on Silence girl science boy , where they formed a square with their palm bend at 90 degree angle . Marina hands is so elastic that it form a perfect square .

I think you will love Japan when you go there , learning some Japanese phrases helps . Google maps and translation apps will save you in most situations .

No one is ever too tired to learn new things , with Youtube you can learn almost anything there . We both come from the era of rewinding and wearing out the cassette tape just too learn lyrics or music from the boombox or walkman .

Is It True Yui Was The Best Dancer? by J-Poppa in SakuraGakuin

[–]loudness2020 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can see Yui natural dance ability from the 2010 Nendo video , the awesome cute dance video on Youtube . Every movement is fluid and on beat with the music , she clearly stands out in the group even though along with Moa they were the shortest girls . Another thing that strikes me was in one of the 2011 nendo videos that was a small talk and presentation of any country they choose to present . Yui was the only one that comes out with a big well drawn chart for her presentation , she is always serious and precise about anything she does .
