Dareka no Tame ni 18092014 19:00 : @veJKT48 duels @K_TyaJKT48

Holla!

I am back with another Team J 2nd Stage review. This time, the focus is on the duel between Queen of the Sky: Jessica Veranda and Goddess of Fire: Triarona Kusuma. This would likely be a short review lol.

For the first time ever, the ace of team J was able to share the Dareka no Tame ni stage with one of the top performing Trainee. I've been waiting for this duel since the debut of Tya in Dareka no Tame ni 09092014. I was so hyped when I know Tya would perform today. After that 9-9 performance which Tya was able to 'fill' the hole left by Veranda, I was wondering how she would do if they were at the same stage.

Jessica Veranda vs. Triarona Kusuma

Of course, being the ace of Team J today, Veranda didn't just bow down despite not having the support she usually gets (Kinal and Melody did not perform). It was an exciting battle. Neither may not know they were actually fighting for the audience's attention. hahahaha.

The battle itself pretty much happened in every song with the peaks happening during Warning and Tsuki no Katachi. Veranda, with her usual calm and smooth moves was able to, in my eyes, prevail and get the audience to focus on her despite Tya's explosiveness and energy. Maybe experience came into play here as Veranda knows the setlist better. I was focused on her the entire time in Tsuki no Katachi even though the blue seats were so far away from Veranda's blocking in that song. It was a good fight from Tya, but Veranda still came out on top.

Too bad both of them got wasted during the main part and declined during the encore. Veranda is usually good at managing her stamina, but not today, she looks exhausted at the end. Tya, with the way she dances, I kinda expect she would ran out of gas before the end. Still good, but both of them got owned by Shani during Namida uri no Shojo.

Extra note: today's performance is kinda overshadowed by the arrival of cowcow at the end. Pretty funny to note that the applause for cowcow is better than for the members lol

Thanks for reading this short rant. Until next time!
