Talent is Awesome, Production/Judges Not So Much
10 for the talent and zero for the messy predetermined storyline’s. Less of the average staff/judges and more of the very talented contestants. The staff and editing really take away from boys amazing talents and their own personal journeys, that’s what we want to watch, not 1 minute to change a routine because you set them up to fail, let them fail on their own then help them to succeed.I’m not surprised about the low viewings and ratings.

Worst formatted survival show I’ve seen
I’ve watched a lot of survival shows in my time and this was just plain messy. It honestly didn’t even need to happen in the first place considering I think everyone thought 24kumi was debuting as that. There weren’t even that many trainees to eliminate in the first place. It feels like they were trying to ride off the &Audition hype and completely missed the mark. They also waited too long to do so.It especially annoys me that Gaku ended up in the voting unit. Why wait till the very end for voting? Eliminating two people after one performance and no voting is actually insane.
The episodes are so short compared to normal survival shows so you don’t really get much out of it. The first episode went STRAIGHT to the first performance. Who are these people?? I only know Gaku and Haku from &Audition. Let us get to know them.
Also, what was the actual point of those two commentators. Wasted time just to add nothing. NOT TO MENTION they announced the final lineup on a morning news show and not even on the show itself. What a joke.
