One...Two...Three... Part Two
03 April 2008
Welcome to part two of the Great Haromoni@ Tally. This batch of episodes contains a continuation of the MouTube series. There were a few troublesome problems that arose in the II and IV episodes. But I'm still confident that I kept an accurate record of how many times each member was on screen.
MouTube episode II – 27 January 2008
Niigaki Risa : 75
Kamei Eri : 75
Takahashi Ai : 73
Michishige Sayumi : 71
Tanaka Reina : 66
Kusumi Koharu : 44
Lin Lin : 42
Jun Jun : 36
Mitsui Aika : 31
There was another clear divide between the members. The fifth and sixth generations formed the top half of the table while the seventh and eighth made up the bottom. Risa and Eri got the most exposure but Ai, Sayumi and Reina weren't too far behind them. Once again Aika didn't get featured very much at all. It was quite a pain trying to tally everyone this episode because of the cameraman. It's like they only had one operator that day and he had to film everything alone which resulted in some dodgy camera work. It was enough to drive you insane.
MouTube episode III – 3 February 2008
Niigaki Risa : 114
Takahashi Ai : 103
Kamei Eri : 99
Tanaka Reina : 78
Michishige Sayumi : 78
Lin Lin : 64
Mitsui Aika : 44
Kusumi Koharu : 42
Jun Jun : 40
This episode was mainly a battle between Risa and Ai for the top spot. Ai led for most of the show but Risa eventually pulled it back and gained a sizeable lead thanks to the GakiKame Theatre skit. Eri wasn't far behind in third place but it's a big gap to Reina and Sayumi in joint fourth. Lin Lin didn't do too badly this time around with 64. Aika, Koharu and Jun Jun were quite a bit further behind on only 40-44 points.
MouTube episode IV – 10 February 2008
Takahashi Ai : 68
Kamei Eri : 53
Jun Jun : 51
Niigaki Risa : 51
Kusumi Koharu : 51
Mitsui Aika : 50
Tanaka Reina : 48
Michishige Sayumi : 43
Lin Lin : 34
This episode is where everything got turned on its head. Seems like the seventh and eighth generations are forming a coup d'etat. This time Ai clinches first place with a decent lead. Quite astonishingly Jun Jun and Koharu jump up to joint third place with Risa. This is the first time Risa has been outside of the top two. Finally Aika starts to get more attention and manages to usurp both Reina and Sayumi in one fell swoop. Only Lin Lin didn't manage to better her previous positions.
Just when a discernible pattern begins to emerge it ruthlessly gets chucked out of the window thanks to MouTube episode IV. Not surprising since that episode was a major headache to tally at first. It's all thanks to Chelsea's appearance in a room full of photos and posters. At first I tried to include those in the score but it proved far too frustrating so I ended up excluding them in the end. I might have to amend my rules to deal with future annoyances like that one...
