yeah i think they've done it before, and with the whole "allergic to >2:20 game sizes" thing they've been having for… almost 2 years atp, it's not particularly unsurprising. they generally try to prioritize cutting instrumentals over lyrics, though, but since the 2nd half of hedgehog's bridge is basically the 1st half again i can see why they cut it… at least it flows okay… deep sea city underground's game size cutting chorus lines, on the other hand…
anyways, since we're almosy halfway through the month… any predictions of covers next broadcast? we were wildly off last month (why did they give n25 a 3dmv!?) but i definitely think wxs is a lock for this month (low in 3dmvs, last one was a year ago, lowest cover count…). i want to say mmj too, but i'm unsure if they'll give both groups 3dmvs lol… maybe they get a normal cover just to up their cover count and then they get a cover 3dmv in june? idk.
vbs is in a "probably getting a cover" category to me. they don't need a cover 3dmv so yeah.
n25 is in a "maybe but i doubt it" category… they got two covers last two months, and while their counts aren't the highest, i just. don't see them getting one lol. i'm open to the possibility simply because they have the same count as vbs though… obviously no 3dmv. n25 in general needs to fuck off from getting ALL types of mvs besides preexisting comm 2dmvs.
l/n is definitely not happening though… counting asagao they're at highest cover count, and even not counting it, they're also at highest. they got two covers last two months, not to mention they're guaranteed to get a hako (and therefore a comm), so yeah.
as for duets… i think it's delusional atp from me, but ankh feels like a possibility. their last duet was well over a year ago and ankh all things considered DO need to catch up to akty in duet counts, so yeah. could also see them just doing full group, though… kira getting a comm makes me hope ankh get getcha LMAOOO.
i don't have a particular predictions of when a group is getting a duet but if i had to guess, next duets for each group probably are: ichishiho for l/n, shizuai for mmj, ankoha for vbs, emunene or ruinene for wxs (rinn is in case they actually want to give them one, emnn is in case they want to keep the emnn & ritk balance) and mizuena for n25… but i feel most of these are obvious for every group tbh. hopefully some of them take little time to come back.
i would be genuinely SHOCKED if we don't get a wxs 3dmv this month 😭😭 they're due a cover by now and especially due a 3dmv.. surprised they haven't cranked out one yet. it's a bit weird bc wxs is like. probably the most expected unit for 3dmvs in general considering the whole dancing thing is kinda their shebang lol. but alas, the wait marches on...
i think niigo is Not Happening... if it really is hona6+mafu7 i would say absolutely fucking not entirely LOL. l/n i also don't think either for same reasons stated with excessive count
mmj+vbs i am pretty much like "it could happen, it could also not happen and i wouldn't be terribly shocked". i think with wxs getting a cover i'd lean that vbs gets a cover. i never bet more than 2 covers a month because i like to keep my expectations on release schedule being nice low as fuck. 2 feels like a decent amount here in this case...
as for duets, if it's vbs, i could actually see anhane get one. i think they kinda just do a yearly mandated anhane+akitoya cover atp so vivids should get one eventually... maybe one of the next 2 covers.
agree on the duets, all feel pretty overdue except. i think ruinene just won't get a cover honestly. i've sortof accepted that they only want to do 1 of each m/f pair, and ruinene's is nijiiro. so bouken emukasa, nijiiro ruinene, childish war nenekasa, and sukina emurui is all we'll get. the day we see one of these four get a cover, then i think we can say they probably have plans for one of the other counterparts to receive one.
i know it's been long beaten to death that shizuai's cover absence has been astronomically bad, but it's genuinely insane to me mizuena still hasn't had a proper cover since gehanna in 2022. what the fuck is happening over there? especially in a post mzen5 world where, surely they could do... something? anything?
