I recently watched produce48 til its latest episode. I'm not really interested in it at first but when I watched some clips of the show out of boredom, the Japanese trainees really made me laugh so hard that I decided to watch it. The way that they edit the show and add 'effects' are very hilarious, it's so witty; for example when the three girls covered 'celeb five' damn that one is so hilarious af.

Watching pd48 made me feel the tragicness for Japanese trainees because it really shows the gap between them and the Korean trainees. It's understandable since they have different culture and way of how they got trained but it just looked so sad and awful— Korean trainees were trained to dance and sing 'perfectly' while J idols were taught how to smile on camera, enhance their expressions and prioritize entertaining people but despite the inevitable differences between skills I can see the determination in their eyes like they have no intention of losing just because of that reason, they are working really hard.

Tbh when Sakura stepped on stage for their evaluation in episode 1, I really saw fire on her eyes like she's ready to dominate the stage, it's amazing. She said that when Korean artists go to Japan they are well respected while when J-idols go out of their country they become unrecognized by people. It sounded so sad and tragic. I really want for Japanese trainees to show everyone what they got.

I stan IOI that every day I wish for them to have a comeback with complete members but I stan them a little too late which I regret a lot so in this season I'll make sure not to miss out a great group that can be formed. I'm anticipating about how great it will turn out.

I have girls that I like to win for sure hehe~ I'm rooting for this two, they are just visually attractive and of course, talented at the same time. 

WANG YIREN - YUEHUA ENTERTAINMENT

they say she looks like Tzuyu but as a Tzuyu stan, I don't really see any resemblance between them or maybe I'm just being blind or I've stared at Tzuyu's pictures a lot that it made me think that Tzuyu only looks like herself and no one else hehe. Nonetheless, even she doesn't look like Tzuyu or anyone, Yiren has her own charm and damn, no one can say that she's not pretty— because she is, she's so damn fine. (peekaboo performance focus)

KIM MINJU - URBAN WORKS MEDIA

Istg she looks like an actress... she looked like Seol In Ah? Or maybe not? Or maybe it's just me? She has appeared in iKon's music video and she's Kriesha Chu's label mate and friend too, right? Am I right? Haha I don't know anymore. She's so timid and shy, she kinda reminds me of Chaeyeon of pd101 season 1. I swear if she gets more confident about herself it will be great. It's kinda frustrating when she refused to be the center on 'very very very' stage, her popularity would have skyrocketed if only she accepted it. Oh well, maybe she'll find her time to shine soon, she's a jewel after all. 

Of course, there are a lot of girls who have caught my eyes too~

CHOI YENA - YUEHUA ENTERTAINMENT

She's just so energetic, bubbly and funny—  beagle, beagle. She reminded me of Sejeong in episode 1, she's so talkative and hilarious. Actually, I'm watching this drama 'come and hug me' and she reminds me of the main actress there hahaha~ (p.s. she's the younger sister of Choi Sungmin of coed school and speed)

AHN YUJIN - STARSHIP ENTERTAINMENT

beagle, beagle. yep, I'm so into idols who have pleasing attitude, the playful and energetic ones really attract me.  

JANG WON YOUNG - STARSHIP ENTERTAINMENT

tell me, how can I unlove this giant baby? Ugh, she's just 15(?) yet she's so gorgeous!!! She reminds me of Im Nayoung but someone who's bubbly and energetic hehe~

LEE HA EUN - MNH ENTERTAINMENT

Chungha's label mate. She's so cute like a little baby but when she starts to dance, damn she's not a baby on the stage but a monster who owns it. 

YAMADA NOE - NGT48

she's hilarious, mood lifter— no doubt an entertainer  I know her voice might be hard to match with others but I actually like her husky voice.

There will be a lot more episodes so this list might go on and on as I fall in love with the trainees but for now I'm really rooting for Wang Yiren and Kim Minjoo. Let's go girls!!! I'm rooting for you guys
