I just want dark mode to be back.

The show has finished airing already, but what did you guys think of it? I personally enjoyed it a lot. It had a good amount of mystery and surprises in my opinion. It's arguably one of the most popular dramas in Japan this year.

As usual, I'm liking their B-sides over the A-side.

Flower is disbanding by the end of this month. https://aramajapan.com/featured/flower-to-disband/101564/

Wow. Such nice promotion pictures for once. I guess they finally fired the previous person in charge of handling them.

Sooo glad He Junxiong made it. But I'm also so sad that he's probably not gonna make it through the next round :'( He made a song called Shao nian zhi shi (with the help of some other participants as well) and the full version was released a couple days ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khZQaZ7Ph8g Still sad that Li Xinyi and Li Yunrui ranking are still pretty low...they're both such great vocalists. I'm surprised that Liu Ye dropped down to 11th. Now he's no longer guaranteed to make it in the group either. I really want Lu Siheng to make it to the final 11. He's so funny and cute. He would make a good addition to the group.

I just listened to the demos for the original songs, and they actually not bad. (Excuse the title translations, as they're probably not accurate) Tui Bian (Transform) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZM5-LTyL_8 Guo Wang (King) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtGkoy-tq98 Beat me if you can https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBbVln3oSd4 Xuan Yan (Declare) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI_K7myJc_g Gan (Dare) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZ7vxkX2Sd4 Gei yi ge hen ai de ren (To give a lover) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bBWfPnSqDNc I also read some spoiler on Weibo that

Not sure if I remember right, but I think Yao Chen dropped out of top 11, and Lu Siheng made it into top 11. I honestly still don't get how amazing singers like Li Yunrui and Li Xinyi can still be in the 20s. I'm actually surprised that Zhao Rang is staying in the top 11. I thought he'd drop out pretty quickly. Btw, this is the studio version of "Bing He Dong Lu", and it honestly sounds so good. I really wish we could see them perform this again when they get to practice it more.

I'm keeping up somehow. Though I do skip around here and there.

^ Three ETM trainees? I wonder if it'll include Ma Xingyu and Wang Yalin. Some people were so salty that ETM didn't debut them with ChicChili. I also can't believe +-x/ is gonna be on this. I do wanna see Luo Yitian be more successful though. I liked her on CZ101.

Well that was a long episode. Definitely much better performances than last time. I felt really bad for the first original song group. I actually prefer their song, but it's true that their performance wasn't the best. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObkfKd9ZTMo I liked a lot of the dance groups. They were really fun to watch. My favorite was probably Handclap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ij0FK0XJeVE My favorite vocal group was How are you. Was it just me or was the audio for their performance somewhat weird though? I felt like the background music was too loud and overpowered their vocals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94W43TeunVI RISE LI XINYI! HE NEEDS TO DEBUT WITH THAT TALENT OF HIS.

Don't we all? I'm glad they're doing one of Tiger Hu's songs though. I actually like this one (but too bad it's for dance)

I'm excited for next week's episode. The song choices for concept evaluation seem better than the first performance. I also find it funny how tencent chose to cover an Eric Chou song too. Coincidence or not?

So far none of the trainees I liked were kicked off, so that's good. Idk how I feel seeing how basically all of WJJW trainees are in top 11...It's just not fun like that. Might as well let WJJW debut their own group already. But this was more or less expected since there are members from X-NINE. Hoping to see some change as time goes on. Really want He Junxiong to make it to the top 11. He has such a nice voice, and he's such a cutie too. Li Xinyi honestly has a much lower rank than I thought. It's still top 20, but hopefully this'll change

Yup he was. Personally, I love all of the trainees from the "baby" group. They all definitely had some amazing visuals. Personally, I felt like Jifeng had the best vocals out of everybody in the group.

Actually, Wu Jifeng and He Luoluo aren't from the same company. Wu Jifeng is from ETM (same company as Liu Renyu) and He Luoluo is from Original Plan. Their first evaluation group was made up of trainees all from different companies.

Well, like I said, most of it had to do with the songs. They weren't that impactful...at least, QCYN's first performances had some decent songs...but I feel like a lot of the songs were just not really good choices. Songs like Treasure and Lesion were alright, but idk...a lot just weren't my cup of tea I guess. Personally the girls' performances I actually still remember pretty well. Grandpa's Tea, Alien, Sugar, and Red High Heels were some of my favorites.

Ep3 to come to youtube tmrw Hm...honestly, I wasn't super wowed by these performances. I feel like the girls had more memorable first performances Maybe it had (a lot) to do with the song choices :/ Wasn't really a fan of most of them. Anyways, Li Xinyi is still down at 18...wish he rise up some more :'( He Junxiong still around the same as last time... I really get the feeling that Tencent is trying to push Wu Jifeng (or maybe ETM paid a lot of money) Feel like he's been getting decent screen time. Anyways, my favorite performance was probably from the Lesion teams.

so since the first evaluations are over now, anyone have a list of their top favorites yet? For me, so far it's 1. Li Xinyi 2. He Junxiong 3. Lin Zijie 4. Yan Xujia 5. He Luoluo

Tencent is uploading it onto youtube now (and hopefully they don't take it down again) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umuklMFifXo Ep 2 to come out tomorrow Don't know if they'll allow subs, but at least we can watch it on Youtube now

Ep2 was not bad. The battles were pretty fun to watch. The "Baby" group had an insane amount of visuals. I wouldn't mind if any of them made it to the final 11. That being said, Zhou Zhennan at #1 was expected. But tbh, I don't really get center vibes from him. And the top 11 pretty much was all of X-NINE. I expect that'll change once people get to know more of the boys. Li Xingyi at 23 Would have hoped he'd be higher He Junxiong was at 14 I think...hoping he rises Looking forward to next ep!

Hmm...it's much better than this

I think people just like to pop in and out occasionally ( like me :P ) And OH's thread following issue hasn't been fixed from what I can tell ( which is super annoying ) I mean, if the girls don't release anything, there isn't really much to discuss after all They're busy with their tour right now...so it's just kinda quiet right now But yeah, idk what's up with Lendy ( I don't check tumblr much anymore, so not sure if they are still active there... ) I don't think I've seen them for a while now If you've got a nice collection to share, might as well! There's probably plenty of lurkers on here anyways BTW Have you guys seen THIS? She grew up so fast

Hm...looking forward to seeing which companies will be sending their trainees Kinda want to see ETM send some more of their trainees here, but I feel like they're leaning more towards tencent since they didn't send any of their guy trainees to IP or QCYN

The SDT member that did the high note was amazing! And in general, their group perf was really good Also a big fan of He Junxiong
