The three new members did a great job.
There were some great song choices and interesting ways to perform.

As enjoyable if not more than last year.

And a well deserved MVP.

Congratulations for the winner, i can say the top-5 winners are fascinating. Shion was amazing, as a newcomer she shined out.

It was hard to choose a favourite, Super happy for Miki to win this year, I agree Shion’s expressions and vocal changes during This is Unmei was amazing, H!P made the right choice to debut her.

It was an absolute joy to watch each performance although super tiring given the time difference. I enjoyed each and everyone's singing but I have to admit that Miki went SUPER hard this year. Absolutely deserved 1st place. When she pulled up with her laptop and I spotted the music production software, I knew right there and then that we were in for a treat. Besides my obvious pick, I also found myself vibing with Kamiko's Bishoujo Shinri and Naarin's BE ALL RIGHT. Also! Big props to Rin for her visible increase in confidence and Kassa for going out with a bang

This, so much. :lol: I even took an extra nap a few hours before and I was still feeling it somewhere around 35-40. It was fun, but if they do it again I don't know that I'll attempt watching it live.

Honestly I don't know how she won MVP. If there was anything memorable about her performance it was that her dress made her look like she was singing for two. :giggle:

For me I'd say the top performance was by Miyo -- she was amazing.

Masaki was great as well. Her energy reminds me a little bit of Miley Cyrus's somehow, the way she takes over the stage with that blinding smile and just does whatever, like she knows she's a star whether or not you acknowledge it.

Kiki oddly impressed me too -- there wasn't anything spectacular, she just did everything right, looked gorgeous, sang well, had a cute prop, it was professional-level entertainment.

Just missing the top tier, I'd put Layla slaying Mugen Climax. She's never going to be a front girl but damned if she isn't going to try her best.

Below that, when it comes to cuteness, I could watch Reina :love: and Utano's :nosebleed: sets countless times.

Haga's another one who has been bringing it after a long spell of just kind of lurking in the sidelines. I think I remember one time Moh saying Sakura had the most extreme glow-up in H!P. Haga might be trying to challenge that.

I appreciated Shion's and Erina's little creative touches to make their turns memorable. Erina doesn't quite manage to look like she's enjoying herself, but if nothing else, the girl can eat a big bowel of ramen and still flex a six-pack as tight as a drum.

Sakura and Ruru, who I'd expect to dominate in solo performances, were both sadly underwhelming.

Kanatomo can effortlessly outclass mere mortal humans in terms of beauty, but as a singer....sigh. There was an artist from the 1980's called Teena Marie who was part of the Rick James funk scene, extremely well-regarded back in her day but when I hear her music now with her high pitched warble, I don't get it. That's who Tomoko's voice reminds me of.
