I think there are some decision in this line-up that need to be talked about. On the one hand, there are some positions I agree with. Yamamoto Sayaka in Blue Rose for example. NMB48 does not have many fierce girls, and Yamamoto Sayaka is one of the few who I think can pull it of.

Yoshida Akari is an interesting choice for Kinjirareta Futari. I can only see her in 'innocent' idol-like songs, so I am quite curious about this unit.

But there is one thing I really cannot say anything good about. Shinohara Kanna and Kotani Riho are not in any units. I knew that in K2 not all girls got units. When Team K performed Seishun Girls in 2006, Sato Natsuki and Takada Ayana were left out, too. But I really hoped they would change this point for Team N.

This is especially bad because one of the left out girls is Kotani Riho. I have seen her perform and she is good, too good to be left out. Also I see her as one of the girls that could pull of Blue Rose. At least I could picture her better in that song than Ogasawara Mayu.

As usually there are decisions I agree with, and some I don't agree with. Often this is a matter of personal tastes, of course. Overall N2 line-up is ok, but it could have been better. For example, Yamada Nana and Watanabe Miyuki got the same kind of units like last time (Nana the ballad duet in white dresses, Miyuki the cutesy left-over girl unit). Where is the variety?
