Rinon Isono was the class president after Moa. She had a tough job because the departure of 4 graduates from a small nendo of 10 meant that there were 6 transfers to bring the total to 12 again. There were some strong personalities arriving, but the seniors Rinon, Saki Ooga, and Saki Shirai (called C-chan to distinguish her from the other Saki) did a great job. After Rinon was Sara Karashima, then Aiko Yamaide. The three final presidents were transfers after this year. When I first found SG, I was only interested as it gave a backstory to Babymetal, but I can honestly say I am primarily an SG fan now, and my love for Babymetal is based on their origins in this unique group. Each nendo has its own character and it's fun to watch the girls grow as performers and human beings. The year of this nendo they started an weekly internet show called Afterschool Learning Monday (sometimes called LoGiRL from the channel). In these shows Mori-sensei tutored 3 or 4 at a time in putting on a variety/talk show. This really fueled their growth as entertainers. Later nendos were on the FRESH channel with a weekly show called Smile Your Best!! FRESH! Monday. Episodes of both shows can be found with subtitles (of varying polish) on the SakuraGakuin subreddit. LoGiRL episode 9 is Moa and Yui's final appearance. Episode 39 really shows how Rinon, Saki, and C-chan interact as seniors. Episode 70 has a surprise appearance by Ayaka. There are too many special moments on these shows to list.
@@arielasentista6637 greetings fellow redditor. I'm pretty new to SG and to reddit myself, but I've absorbed so much from the extremely gracious and helpful community on SakuraGakuin.
@@williamvesey3679 Yeah, new to Reddit and SG as well. I really feel guilty with my annoying persona since the vast majority of Fukeis in the sub are very nice. That's why I am actively limiting myself from making 'annoying' posts and replies. My goal is to just stop posting altogether and just support everybody from the sidelines :)
Yeah 2015 nendo was tough to follow up after Yui and Moa’s graduation. But I gotta say, Rinon really stepped up as class president and led that group with much pride and gusto. She had a great team of Jr high too with Ooga Saki, C-chan and my favorite Sara-chan. Logirl was a great platform to both help the girls develop their speaking skills but also to give Fukei more access to the girls. It’s too bad it came so late in MoiMoi’s time in SG.
Merry Christmas and thank you for another Sakura Gakuin reaction. I'm a little bit surprised that you skipped the 2013 Nendo Test after you watched the 2013 pre test prank 2 days ago. I hope we will also see the 2013 test and the 2014 pre test prank.
Moa has also taken over Ayami, Su-'s great role as a class chairman at the nendo tests. Marina was originally a funny character. Past all class presidents have done a good job. Moa has clapped unconvincingly after Wasabi Prank. At 2:56, Mori has said, "あの、言っておくけど、水野もだいぶバカですから (Ano, itte oku kedo, Mizuno mo daibu baka desu kara. Well, let me tell you, Mizuno is also pretty stupid)". It is of course a joke, but in Japanese too, it sounds pretty strong tone as a joking, haha. But Yui is smiling. At 3:35, I guess CA stands for "cabin attendant" on a air plane in Japan. But this is a Japanese-English. It is "fright attendant" in English, right? At 6:09, Oda Nobunaga(織田信長), and at 6:43, Moa's wrong answer, Tokugawa Ieyasu(徳川家康), are the names of so famous Samurai worriers (and Lords) in Sengoku Jidai (戦国時代、warring states period) of 15th-17th century in Japan. Ieyasu was the first Shogun in Edo period in 17th century. Both of them were from around Aichi prefecture now, and Moa & Okada Megumi are the same from, too. So Megumi seems to respect Nobunaga. She has talked Nobunaga is the top of the tops in her Samurai pyramid. No, he is even beyond the top, so she said we must honor his name, putting "-sama (様)" in his name. Btw, She is a smart girl, and a.k.a. Kokeshima, Kurashima Sara is also, actually a clever girl. Both of them were transfer students at this year. Sara was a class chairman in 2016. Both of them are my favorite girls because they were members of "Logica 1.2-2.0".However, on the other hand, Moa had once said she wasn't very good at social studies, history classes. So she didn't recognize the portrait of her own hometown samurai hero, haha... Even though teachers would think it might be an easy question for her.. At 8:15, Yuano said "Himiko", Himiko (卑弥呼) is a legendary Queen from the mythical era around the third century in Japan. I am not sure if she is beautiful or not as Yunano said too, ha. At 10:07, As for Axolotl, I watched Moa's imitation of it in the "Saku Saku" compilation video you guys reacted to as Magz said. At 14:40, Yui's gesture of putting her hands on Mori's desk, was the same as in 2011, something that made me smile. It seems that Yui was a solid senior who could give good advice to the juniors as the school year progressed. At 16:11, Moa has also cried a bit because of Hana's tears of joy, forgetting an aware about her ranking. Hana & Moa are good friends. We can see it is obvious that Moa is exactly a emotional girl. At 20:19, I believe that Rion has appeared in an Avenger Kano's funny moments video you reacted to before. Rinon was a class chairman in 2015, the year Kano transferred in SG. Merry Christmas from Japan.
@@jthomas6672 I did some research. And I found out that the route number for 'Tokyo Bay Aqualine', or 'Tokyo Bay Circular Road', based on the highway numbering system in Japan, is indeed "CA". However, as I live in Nagano, far away from Tokyo, I am not familiar with this symbol. Moreover, it doesn't seem to be an abbreviation of the name, 'standing for some words'. But it seems words coined from "Circular" and "Aqualine".
🌸 🏫 / 🏯 💕 Megumi Okada (Megu), the girl with the high score, is not only a new transfer-in, she was an elementary school student. You can tell by her floppy tie, instead of the straight tie the older girls have. Not too surprising that she was able to the recognize warrior Oda Nobunaga. Megu has always been very interested in Japanese history. "Warlord" even became one of her nicknames in the group. Megumi and Aiko Yamaide, the girl who insisted she hated her, had a famously hot and cold friendship. They graduated in 2018, together with Momoko Okazaki, who later became the BABYMETAL avenger with the most appearances.
Since Sara and Megumi moved to SG in the same year, they seem to be as close like Hana and Rinon. But Aiko and Megumi's relationship is really interesting as you said. Aiko is from Kagoshima prefecture in Kyushu, Japan. Generally speaking in Japan, women from Kyushu or Shikoku are said to be passionate and strong-willed. I can get that feeling from Aiko in this video as well, even though in such a girl age, haha. Btw, Band Maid, Kobato Miku, is also from Kumamoto Prefecture in Kyushu, and seems to have had a complicated family situation. So despite her appearance, I can sense her core strength like a Kyushu woman.
@@minamihideki7123 Not only did Sara and Megumi transfer in together, they were already friends. They did a lot of modeling and promotional jobs together before Sakura Gakuin. Of course they are both smart girls and good at studying, so can I imagine they might have also bonded over that. Aiko and Megumi seem to have been kind of "thrown together" because they're around the same age. While Momoko seems like she could make friends with anyone. : ) I believe you're totally correct about Kobato. Of course she's super cute, but BAND-MAID wouldn't exist without her determination, and her tireless promotion has helped them succeed in a very competitive music world.
Every female artist has the confidence that she is a pretty woman, but she rarely speaks out herself. So at this time, fans need to speak out loudly for them.
Marina was president after Su , Moa was this years president then next was Rinon. She had to deal with the loud crew KYG. Don't be mad LVT , KYG drives sensi crazy the next three years.
Another great Nendo test reaction. The honest emotions of shock, surprise, joy, frustration, and relief the girls respond with to their scores are delightful. I always feel bad for Rinon coming in last place so many times, as this was a case of bad luck and poor timing more than anything else.
A slight time jump there, but I'm sure you'll get to the 2013 nendo test eventually. I know you just take them in the order you receive. Although Megumi and Sara were the new members for 2014, Aiko (Dec 1, 2002) was still youngest (until the 2015 nendo transfers joined), with Megumi being about 8 months older (April 4, 2002) than Aiko, and Sara slightly more than a month older (Feb 24, 2002) than Megumi. I think Aiko played up the bratty but cute tiny terror role a bit for this one, knowing that she wouldn't be able to get away with it as much when she was no longer the youngest. Of the members who were in SG before Yui and Moa graduated, Megumi and Aiko ended up being the last two left until they themselves graduated in 2018 (Sara having graduated the previous year due to the placement of her birthday).
the word "baka" or stupid/dumb is actually more of a joke or meme to the japanese people, not an insult or anything. They do that a lot Don't be offended if they said it to others.
You did the 2015 school days video when Rinon was class president. You need to see the 2013 test with the great line we raised our average score after the fool Nakamoto left us.
A goof ball to be sure, but it makes her all the more lo lovable. I love these Nendo tests and ALL of the SG girls. It’s fabulous to see the off stage antics. Happy Holidays Everyone.

Is it time for another Nendo test?
It’s always time for another Nendo test!
🍅💀🍅
🤘🏼🦊🤘🏼
🌸
Nendo tests are GREAT !!! !
Always blame everything (good or bad) on the headbanging, it is probably right.
🌸🌸
Babymetal fans know who the three Great Beauties are, and they can answer without hesitation.
Hana, Saki O and Megu ? 😇
Every female artist has the confidence that she is a pretty woman, but she rarely speaks out herself. So at this time, fans need to speak out loudly for them.
I reccomend 'Brian and Roger mark New Year’s Eve with Sarah Brightman and Yoshiki'.(BABYMETAL)
Marina was president after Su , Moa was this years president then next was Rinon. She had to deal with the loud crew KYG. Don't be mad LVT , KYG drives sensi crazy the next three years.
If they think Kano is already more than a sassy handful, just wait until they meet the others, right? :D
At least Moa didn't get last place....All the previous Presidents got either last or near last....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤘🦊🤘
Not in 2013

Seems like a smaller class because normally there was three rows now it's only two
There were only 10 members in 2014. There are theories, but no one actually knows why.
the word "baka" or stupid/dumb is actually more of a joke or meme to the japanese people, not an insult or anything. They do that a lot Don't be offended if they said it to others.
Weird that you skipped 2013 after watching the prank
We just do them in order of paid request. 💚
i feel like isono should have gotten some credit here. "birds gather as friends" could easily be "birds of a feather flock together".
Hello Magz and LVT ... watch this one th-cam.com/video/T9LWFc9AKtA/w-d-xo.html
from 1:06:38 ... there is the Nendo Test 2013
awesome
😂😂😂😂😂the curse of class president
This is unrelated but LVT I GOT A BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG GUITAR!!!!
That’s awesome!!!!
Am I wrong or is this narrated by Moa??
It is. It's always narrated by the president for that year.
@@ForAnAngel thx for the info. I just kinda recognized her voice...
You should react also to the 2013 Nendo Test, it was more hilarious...
Little dissapointed that you don't just do them in order
We do them in order of paid reactions. Sorry but people who pay control that over our personal preferences.
You did the 2015 school days video when Rinon was class president.
You need to see the 2013 test with the great line we raised our average score after the fool Nakamoto left us.
A goof ball to be sure, but it makes her all the more lo lovable. I love these Nendo tests and ALL of the SG girls. It’s fabulous to see the off stage antics. Happy Holidays Everyone.
I love you guys, but this is just kinda wrong if you didn't watch the Nendo Test 2013 first.
