Oh yeah, Perfume was there, too. I suppose.

It's not a super dancey song, but it's still fun to compare them. Ayumi's a little better at the sharp hip-hop-like moves, but she can't move in the ways that Riho moves. Like at :49, her head won't move back as far as Riho's. I think they talked about this once. I'll go look for it.
edit: Ah, I found it.
Ishida: Such a thing as a dance showdown with Sayashi-san is awe-inspiring, you know! (laughs). Sure, I regarded her as a rival at first, but now I truly respect her and she motivates me. The great thing about Sayashi-san’s dancing is that she changes her moves to match the music. Her moves are fluid, but also powerful. She uses different muscles. For example, someone trained in hip hop has a tendency to do stiff moves no matter what. There aren’t very many people who can do both [fluid and stiff moves].
Sayashi: Uwaa…When I’m complimented this much by a member of my own group, I feel somewhat uneasy (laughs).
Ishida: Plus, when it comes to the choreography that has been set, Sayashi-san ad-libs and adds her own touch.
Sayashi: Conversely, Daishi is faithful down to the details. She’s like a machine that’s been programmed perfectly all the way to her fingertips (laughs). Her moves don’t rely on feeling. I think that because there’s no irregularity in her dancing, she doesn't get tired, and she’s able to keep dancing for a long period of time.

And there was this one, too:
Ishida: Probably expressions and movements and such. Since I’ve always learned nothing but dances with
hard movements like cheer dancing and hiphop, I’m proud of my sharpness, but not so great with supple
movements.

It's so interesting to see the various styles and the different strengths and weaknesses the girls have when they perform.
