The second day was amazing as well, and in my opinion even better than the first. And I thought yesterday was going to be hard to top. So many nice rarities I never expected to hear, like Ame no Tajikara wo and D' no Junjou. And of course, Ano Sora at the end. I could barely believe it haha.

@Shogo98 How did the marathon go for you? I kept wondering which one of the runners was you, haha.

Who would have thought that Yurumerumo or Tokyo Girls' Style would appear at an event like this?

I was happy to see Merumo in the list of participants too. I hope they will continue to invite other idol groups in the next year

The assistants voted for the best performance among the 20 groups

1st. Rock A Japonica
2nd. Hachimitsu Rocket (1016 votes)
3rd. Iginari Tohoku San (986 votes)

Without a chance for not Stardust groups)

To be quite honest that was a bit, well... odd
What Ayumikurikamaki, Ciao Bella Cinquetti, Wa-Sta, Yurumerumo, Palet or GEM were doing in a "Young Lion" competition I didn't understand in the first place.
And to have three Stardust newcomer groups being rated above all those pros (and there were some great performances there) I felt was a bit too much "inbreeding" by the voters
Then they should make a Stardust only competition instead and have the rest as guests

Yes, I do not think that this competition has a great meaning, I would have liked a ranking of TIF performances.

Stardust do contests pretty tongue and cheek though. There aren't any rewards or punishments involved.

Nope, it has never been performed as far as I know.
