They're using a weird mix of backtrack/lives for it, which is why it sounds so bad. Like, Sayu's lines and Riho's adlibbing at the end were completely lipsynched, but then some of the other stuff wasn't.

I don't know why Riho was trying to sing like that, because it's not even remotely close to what her natural singing voice sounds like. It's almost as if she's trying to imitate the way Reina sings.

It's almost like she realized after six singles she realized how bad she sounds.

But she didn't realize that whatever she's trying to do in these lives is hardly an improvement.

It's better than what she was doing.

I really don't have anything against her but I don't know what they were thinking while giving her so much lines. Riho-fans tend to say she is more skilled than the rest but I really see no difference at all, even from 10th gen, apart from her dancing. I hope she gets better at it if she was trying a change and that she actually nails the tone... And that they get good singers for the 11th gen.

If I was to rank them by gen it would probably go like this:

Mizuki > Kanon > Riho > Erina In time, Mizuki and Kanon will probably switch spots.

Haruka > Masaki > Ayumi > Haruna Ayumi is kind of terrible right now, but her problems are something I could see them fixing over time as well.

After Reina and Sayumi leave I'm sure it'll become something like Riho/Mizuki at first, and I hope they start distributing more, the rest becoming at least like Kamei or Gaki when there was a dominant duo. I can't see Kanon getting more lines over time though, sadly, but who knows. I can't see Riho leaving the throne anytime, so either it becomes like the old days or they start a new Riho+someone. Which reminds me I thought Reina sounded really different in say, Shabondama, and her voice changed a lot over time, maybe Riho is making a change too. Time will tell!

I really want a voice similar to Ai's or Gaki's, and Haruka might or might not get there over time. Plus the new members.

It's both fun and not fun not to be biased towards any of the members. It's like I just want them to sound reaaally good, no matter who sings what. Yet I guess I want more 9th gen + Haruka + Ayumi.
