Congrats on landing your first senbatsu position Yuumin!
I'm feeling a bit conflicted about this senbatsu/song because:
On the one hand:
1) It has no Team M members at all. In spite of it being a "dance senbatsu" they didn't even include Aapon who's one of the best dancers in NMB.
2) Sayanee center? When she just had her vocal cord surgery and she shouldn't be supposed to sing for, at least, a few months? Looks like management doesn't give a damn about Sayanee's health and that's kinda worrying. I hope they won't let her sing during their live performances because her vocal cords should rest.
3) They gave Aika/Rikanyan the worst hairstyles ever. It's supposed to be Beyonce-like but it's just... plain ridiculous. Also... not really digging that "boyish" style on Sayanee either.
4) They ditched Miru/Fuu/Keicchi/Ripopo/Nagi/Shu/Yuuri... These girls better get something epic because not having them around makes me... sad.
But on the other hand:
1) Uuka looks FANTASTIC in that pv preview. And it's only a pv preview.
2) Rikanyan and Haru are BACK IN THE GAME! I mean, these girls are 1st gen members, they deserve their fair share of exposure too.
3) Milky looks good too, but that's Milky so... that was to be expected.
aaaaaand I guess... I ran out of things to praise/complain about.
