Why did Produce48 made Japanese trainees look like they are bad at dance?

so......

PD is a korean show hosted in korea....gotta make your home country look great amirite.

I like that song a lot, but I've never really understood those "48" groups.

It's definitely crazier, is it better? I beg to differ.

I've seen quite a number of AKB48 and other *48 group performances, but I always found E-Girls a lot better when it comes to dancing.

I understand that the *46 groups are also better than the *48 batch, but I haven't watched a lot of those.

It's also not that odd: where Korean trainees often have had like 2-5 years of training before finally debuting, the 48G groups debut straight away, because of their different approach to idoldom, where it's more about the journey towards getting skilled and their progress from nothing to getting popular gets being shown to the public.

It's been several years since Produce48, standards have risen. AKB48 idols were genuinely bad at dance at the time and you can see it in the performances because the camera shots are just straight. One MV doesn't establish anything.

Here, I think you're getting confused by camera angles and cuts. They're not in sync..which is not necessarily a bad thing. They just look more wild which might be fitting with the song? In fact, the slo-mo clips you post don't make them look good. There is a time and place for being mildly out-of-sync but it doesn't look intentional here.

Someone else in the old forum posted 2020 clips of former Produce48 AKB48 contestants. To my eyes, they looked like they regressed badly.

That said, people have different things they care about in dance. Let's just say we have different standards.
