B KOMACHI'S CENTER!✨ OSHI NO KO Ep 9 REACTION!!!

[@DutchDread]

Everyone feels sorry for Akane for buckling under a few days/weeks of criticism, but I honestly feel much more sorry for Kana for slowly having her hope, trust, and passion sucked out of her for an entire decade and yet still still going on, even if the light is still barely on.

[@user-wl5jk8zf5g]

That's why she such a relatable character cuz literally everyone who are living in this world are trying to prove themselves ,proving themselves to be of some worth and not letting down the trust of the close ones, sometimes failing but getting the strength to get back up and so on.. SHE IS THE DEFINITION OF "SHE'S JUST LIKE ME FR"😅

[@bananabunch4590]

Yeah.. and that's why I feel this sense of maturity about her every time she's on screen, immature as she may be at times.

Hello from Japan. Baking soda is called "Juuso" in Japanese, It is often mentioned as a story because the Japanese word for "10 seconds" in Kana's catch copy as a child actor, "a genius child actor who can cry in 10 seconds," sounds similar to "Juubyo". Incidentally, Kana's baking soda (for cleaning) is scheduled to go on sale next month in Japan as a collaborative product. In Japan, karaoke machines have a scoring function, and the highest score is a perfect 100, but due to the microphone and indoor environment, a score of 100 is not possible, so Kana's score is almost the highest. (Scores of 57 and 43 are critical for a singer.) * Since this is a machine translation, it may be a little strange.

[@humourlessjester3584]

I just realized that Kana is almost the polar opposite of Ai. She's not very confident in herself, she's very fashion conscious, she had a great childhood but had troubles when she grew out of it, she speaks her mind instead of pleasing others... If there's anyone Aqua should be more around to get rid of his unhealthy fixations on Ai, I feel like Kana is perfect for that.

[@alficammy6159]

I found Kana problem is she had self esteem issues and that probably result of abuse from her childhood day as an actress considering she peak early in her kindergarden day.

[@nox_tech_]

reaction appreciated! notes and thoughts and stuff below: - 2:59 for perspective, big name idol groups do have age limits of 12-20 for applicants, and they tend to graduate before they turn 25. so there's probably other applicants from the same audition who made it into the idol group memcho auditioned for, and they might've gone through their entire idol career and graduated well before memcho had another chance. - in comparison to the above, there's chika idols, also known as underground idols, or indie idols. mostly along the similar range of idols wearing cute stuff, but because they're under smaller agencies with different goals and priorities, there's also agencies where they're either flexible or don't care about some details. some start at 25, and may jump in even later, but these are rare. it's really about having the right moxie to keep at it. - 4:24 memcho's a youtuber in-universe, but on the anime's official channel, she's presented as a vtuber in the clips and stuff - 5:49 "you don't need to be young, you don't need to be able to sing, you don't need to be anything to be an idol" at least with chika idols, that's basically it honestly. - 7:20 with that kind of setup, looks like the kind of regular youtube videos Japanese youtubers do, not livestreams. - 10:02 these are omakase. there's definitely a bunch in the US, but as it is, they can cost a pretty penny. - 11:19 Japan Idol Festival's IRL equivalent is Tokyo Idol Festival. it's not a competition. that it's their debut performance is the important factor. you can look up Tokyo Idol Festival to see what IRL idol performances look like. - 12:26 center and leader are technically different positions in terms of idols. the leader is literally the leader, while the center is the focus of the performances. - 12:49 at least when starting out, idols can get away with not really being able to sing. - 14:46 if singing isn't a strong point, these are the two angles idols tend to take. absolutely memorable in personality, or one whose focused effort on improving gets noticeably better. if a person can be both of those, that would be better. - 15:09 unless they have all the connections right out the gate, vocal coaching might not necessarily be possible or affordable depending on the agency. some bigger agencies can actually afford to train their idols, but the most others can do is learn the choreography and learn the lyrics of the new song they promised to come out. - 19:43 they showed them, they're like halfway. so they're okay. which is basically your average idol.

5:50 In Japan's idol scene, most idols (especially girl groups like akb48) don't have strong vocals or strong dancing. the girl idols with the greatest stage presence, looks, humor are the most popular. Vocals and dance are less stressed than in Kpop or American pop. many Japanese idols who participated on the korean-japanese show 'Produce 48' weren't able to hit the notes or learn the choreographs as well as their Korean counterparts who weren't idols bc they got less training

[@BlickyDicky]

Thanks to this episode, I understand MEM's hard backstory. I think the story's reason why MEM is 25 years old is she and Sarina were almost the same generation. MEM was about 5 years younger than Sarina and Ai. So, MEM is a passionate fan of Ai and B-Komachi without age-related contradictions, like Ruby.

This episode is great, i didnt expect a song video near the end of the episode. It's good to see the show give 3 girls their screentime to bond together as a team. This is a fresh air from the last intense dating show episodes that focus mostly on Aqua and Akane. Kana is already my best girl and this episode just hammer it down by making every moment of her look good, especially the video song in the end (i suspect the show staff must really like Kana ;3). I hope this final arc of the season will focus more on Ruby because Aqua just took away her spotline for most of the episodes so far.

[@papawoody9597]

Kana's jealousy and disappointment over her belief that Aqua is dating Akane is what's putting her in a bad head place right now. It seems to be bringing up a lot of similar feelings from the past. Anyone else notice that she was reading the same "In-Depth Guide to the Internet Sea Slug" book that Aqua was reading?

[@miyaisit4188]

Since the title of this time is "B Komachi", I wonder if they will form an idol group and do some kind of activity? I thought. But it was different. To be more precise, it was the previous stage or something like that. MEM Cho is probably not 18 years old. Because my age was "18" followed by "?". She was of a different age. However, there were many difficulties. Even so, I heard the insert song this time in advance, and Megumi Han, who plays Kana Arima, was really good at singing. I was surprised. Also, if Aqua is obsessed with Ai and thinking about revenge all the time, I can only assume that Aqua is headed for destruction. That's very sad. But you want it to end with a happy ending. You don't want everyone to get a bad ending, do you? I hope that Aka Akasaka-sensei will do something about it. By the way, it seems that it will end at 13 volumes. It's a little short, isn't it. By the way, the Japanese band Jooubachi「女王蜂」 is in charge of the ED, which in English translates to Queen Bee, and the song title is Mephisto. The band is very famous in Japan. It's become so popular that I want it to continue until the final episode, not just the second season. And when I looked at overseas sites, there were weeks when Demon Slayer and Oshi no Ko were competing for 1st and 2nd place, but Oshi no Ko had the upper hand. In Japan, Demon Slayer is overwhelmingly stronger. But this season's Demon Slayer is not good. However, the final episode may be different. MyAnimeList ("MAL" for short), Anime Trending, Anime Corner, reddit In particular, MAL has a score, but at the moment, Oshi no Ko is definitely more advantageous. Of course, there is a difference between Demon Slayer being in the 3rd season and Oshi no Ko in the 1st season. With that said, you can see how amazing the anime was, Fullmetal Alchemist, which is still number one, with the animation of the manga that lasted for nearly 10 years and the overwhelming number of members. It's my favorite anime too. Normally, the points will gradually drop, but it's difficult for the Demon Slayer to win with points unless something goes wrong. Also, there are comments on reddit, but I don't understand English lol

[@DestianoY]

Kinda agree with u there, my only big complain about this show is how ruby didn't have an active role to the story, hopefully this arc will fix it.

The worst part is that this isn't the worst suffering the character goes through. That goes to Ruby and that's saying something after what Kana deals with in this series.
