Sakura has 100 percent of my respect. From being mediocre/horrible on 48, to having so much improvment. You can tell she practiced her ass off and it worked
8 of those in a completely different industry with completely different standards. She excelled and improved in being an idol there too. She has worked hard in whatever she did forall 12 years.@user-xf8if7mx2j
Well, she’s an excellent dancer. For ballet. She only had three months to retrain for hip hop style choreo so it makes sense that she’s not the best of the group for their choreo. I wouldn’t be shocked if one day she is the best of them, though!
@@baymuzlusut9846but zuah is much more skilled in ballet and dance overall then mina and I agree being a ballerina does not make her the best idol dancer in her group but it's hard for her to retrain years of bellet experience to do hip hop style dance
@@zakrichardson3603 that became ballet is about flexibility mostly flexible members are mostly stiff like lia from itzy rose from bp yerin from everglow. kpop dance need power locking popping + wich ballet doesn't have . but this is not excuse bec yall kpop fans hype up ballet female dancers
@@msshinyuna I don't hype up balet dancers in kpop, because it is a completely different dance style and being a good balet dancer dosnt mean a good idol dancer as they are very different
Improvement and impeccable work ethic… like she could easily stay famous in Japan but she didn’t settle for the easy option. I have so much respect for her!
I expected Chaewon to be first, but Sakura deserved the spot. How much she had improve during Izone day, it's really amazing to look at. Her dancing is so underrated and needs to be praised more. I was shocked to found out that Kazuha place first for dancing- maybe her daning doesn't stick out to me. She is strong in ballet and ballet is the fundamental for all the dances, but i don't think she a good enough idol dancer to be the first in lesserafim
@@albatross.77 After Unforgiven era i'd argue that Sakura, Eunchae and Chaewon could move up. EP&BW showcased a lot more of Eunchae & Sakura's strengths (esp. Eunchae's footwork, flowy coodination & accented beats, and also Sakura's sharpness, versatility and clean body lines).
Wow, as someone who doesn’t know much about dancing, I would’ve thought all of the girls would place tier 6. Shows you how much they practice and work on their performances for them to look this amazing on stage
Unpopular opinion- people excelling in ballet shouldn't be given a main dancer position because ballet and idol dancing are two very different dancing styles (eg- Mina and Kazuha). Kpop fans need to understand that begin ballerina doesn't mean you are good/best dancer. It pisses me off to see how much people underestimate Sakura : A lot of people fail to realize that she has had such a huge improvement
Sakura is super duper improve her talent, you can see by yourself by her dance move. Even her dance teacher also said that she was improve a lot. She just lack in vocal only but not in dance. If she could be center, you can see her improvement tho:(
Now fearnot and netizen can stop underestimate sakura and saying kazuha is the best. That's not true... In reality kazuha last and sakura first in term idol dance and open style. I don't hate kazuha but I feel so annoying when fearnot/netizen said sakura last and kazuha is the best because she's a professional ballet🙄. Ballet and idol dancing is two different things! Being good or professional in ballet doesn't mean she good in idol dance. Now please treat sakura as main dancer and chaewon as lead dancer❤️.
hope this video helps fans realize that being a ballerina does not automatically make someone a main dancer, kpop dance and ballet are two different dance styles.
Someone finally pointed it out. For me, Yunjin and Sakura are the most satisfying to watch when dancing, and I think that criteria matters the most. KPOP fans are so easy to point Kazuha as the main dancer just because she's a ballerina. And I honestly don't understand that. Just like in Twice, fans are regarding Mina as the main dancer when Jihyo is so so so much better in dancing than her.
i understand that ballet doesnt make you a good kpop dancer (in fact, a lot of ballet dancers tend to be stiff in other forms of dance) but in my opinion, kazuha shouldn’t be dead last. i think she should be swapped with eunchae. but le sserafim doesn’t have any bad dancers, obviously
People coming at zuha unprovoked? She never claimed to be the best dancer nor the company did I see yall don't like the fact that she has high fancam views so you wanna drag her down 🤭
Tbvh everyone has different fav dance styles and I feel better watching Chaewon and Yunjin in their videos cause although I love them all Kazuha is mostly stiff to me I have noticed her improvements but I still prefer certain things that Yunjin Chaewon and Eunchae do while dancing because they have a certain captivating or should I say their facial expressions and their overall executions are better to me 😊
It's because people see sakura as “just a visual” , they didn't even look at her skills. She literally placed 2nd in PD48 for a reason, not just because of her visuals but also HER “SKILLS”
@@xjenniez lmao did you really say that? Positions don't matter. for example Rosé is a lead dancer, however Jennie>>Rosé, in the dance Mina is a main dancer, however Jihyo>>Mina, in the dance. So it's not because she doesn't have a dance position that she's a bad dancer.
@@guigzs Oh, you're right. But I disagree about Jennie. Positions DO matter, although some idols are sometimes given the wrong position. I didn't say that she was a bad dance either, I just wouldn't think that she's a better dancer than her team members but I'm not someone who can judge a dancer professionally and just only state my own opinon.
Unpopular opinion- people excelling in ballet shouldn’t be given a main dancer position because ballet and idol dancing are two very different dancing styles (eg- Mina and Kazuha)
The top 3 are very interchangeable. All of them have their strengths and their weaknesses. Both Yunjin and Sakura struggle a lot with technical (in-)consistency while Chaewon can be quite stiff at times. It would be alright if people put Chaewon first and vice versa.
Ah no wonder it kinda just puts me off sometimes, Yunjin just seems alot better than me, but if they're interchangeable then that's good enough for me, I'm not underestimating Kkura, she's come a long way
She has her moments, she is definitely inconsistent which can make or break her dance during their performances, but she killed parts like the chorus of FEARLESS
Fr she should have started her career in South Korea and not Japan even if it was her home country, if she there for music the idol way, Japan’s idol system way more modeling than singing and dancing
@@Hdjdnddjdhzksksno it’s sakura she’s been an idol for 12 years now and she still works just as since day 1. Sakura doubts herself a lot and she in the documentary that even when she works hard one part of her brain is telling her she’s not doing enough. She also said at a concert that she’s never satisfied with herself. So I think even if sakura got trained when she was younger she would be the same.
Same!!! I’m surprised to see this ranking but it’s with explanation!!! Wow sakura improved ALOT I remember her being Almost the weakest dancer in izone
Sakura has 10 years of experience under her belt. Yes, idol dancing in Japan is different, but years of experience in performing lets your body learn a lot of things. Also, she has definitely improved since her HKT48 and Iz*One days and it shows😍
@@Arzx_Requiem even they're same tier 7, but still mid tier and high tier is different. At least if you not agree, give explanation instead of saying "my opinion". We talk about fact not about opinion. Opinions doesn't matter if comes to techniques. ❤️
honestly kpop fans need to stop assuming just because an idol is a former ballerina means they're an amazing idol dancer. a lot of kpop choreos are influenced by hip hop, which is the polar opposite of ballet.
@@niv_ the top 3 are interchangeable, Yunjin just looks better to me but there's something she's lacking at, I can't exactly point out what it is though
sakura has come so far and it shows. many people (including SM/HYBE) brushes her under the rug as just a visual, she's not the same performer as her pd48/izone days and hopefully people start to see that
I think Sakura is in 2nd place and chaewon in 1st place cuz Chaewon is a great dancer . She has a good energy, her face expression is on top, she has that power in dancing, her mouvements are so smooth .... she just deserve main dancer title
I agree but face expressions have nothing to do with technique unless they look so uninterested it affects them by making them shortcut/forget moves. Stage presence is a whole other topic
Those who keeps hating on Sakura for getting no.1, definitely never watched her fancams lol Even their choreography director has said Sakura is the one improved the most, and she made best decision when she put sakura as center in their HYDRA performance
Now everyone started to hate on kazuha. Great💀💀 People should not hate her for being a ballerina like she is quite good in her dancing ofc i know shes not the best but shes not the worst either
i dont think people in the comments are hating on her…? its just their honest opinions without being disrespectful. i dont think there’s exactly a way to sugarcoat saying someone isnt the best dancer in a group ☠️ they arent hating on her. relax
AND THIS IS THE CORRECT RANKING !!!! ppl just defaulting to having kazuha as like top 3 is crazy like just bc she did ballet that doesn’t make her the best in terms of the type of dancing lesserafim does (coming from someone who did ballet for 13 years then transitioned to doing hiphop- it’s a BIG difference) also sakura has improved sm since izone but ppl always put her last like have u even seen her dance recently she’s def one of the best in lsrfm 😭😭
y'll gotta admit that Kazuha is a overhyped, she's praised for her sp & dance sm but honestly she isn't even that good in both 💀 like let my girl improve first-
she IS good in dance. just not the idol dance y’all think of. ballet is a style as well and everyone likes to say being a ballerina doesn’t mean you’re a good dancer, but for kazuha it does. she’s an extremely proficient ballerina but not a standout idol dancer.
I completely agree with you, Although, kazuha does ballet she isnt the best dancer in le sserarim. All the members are really good dancers, especially Sakura. In many other videos, I have seen her being the last or second last. I hope haters can realize how great a dancer she is from this video. Good to see you highlighting each point for all the idols.
Wanted to add a few things... Eunchae I noticed has really good sense of musicality in # times she decides to execute a move to match with a beat sometimes. (Think triplet on sheet music) she's good at thinking on her feet about those moments. & Sakura's arm muscles are not to be looked down upon, girly is the flash w those arms.
i almost didn't watch this clip bc i thought its gonna be a typical lesserafim dance ranking and them always placing sakura at the last place but this is the first one who recognized her improvements and dance skills that she honed with her passion and relentless desire to improve... it's nice for people to appreciate her extra hours in the practice room where she admitted to always stay behind to practice more :) they always rank kazuha as first just bc she's a ballerina but her dance skills in kpop dancing isn't 1st rank quality tho she was really impressive dancing ballet
im so proud of kkuras progress, cs in the izone days she was considered one of the worst dancers so I'm happy to see her growth even after 15 years of experience
I noticed how much Sakura improved in Iz*one during the SSOTS era but then girlie comeback in a new group with even more improvements yet some people still calling her a bad dancer? She’s not an expert but the hard work and improvement are literally in your face.
Thank you, this is one of the few that I can agree on. I think people also forget that consistency is so important when it comes to dancing and between performances. This was briefly mentioned in FoT's reaction video to Impurities, but just to reiterate again since it isn't said enough, Sakura is the most consistent when it comes to her dancing. You could take any cut from her dance video/fancams and overlay it to another video of the same dance by her, she will be in the exact same pose/form with almost no difference. It's near impossible to do this without her consistency and practice.
Kazuha is a classical dancer which has a lot of restrictions and certain things you can't do in ballet bc it would not be considered elegant and pretty. She still is an amazing dancer but her idol type dancing is different and lacks a little bit from her ballet dancing, but she is improving and she is getting better every time. I'm saying all of this from a professional dancer point of view since I've been dancing for 15 years in ballet, contemporary, jazz, and hip hop. So plz don't take this too seriously, I mean this all out of love
And when you explain to them why nj and nmixx are better they say “it’s my op😭”or “have you seen them dance their def better then them” with no explanation
As a dancer also, I kind of disagree with the top 2. For me Chaewon is a very great dancer better then Sakura.Chaewon has more of a core control then Sakura and she has more body control then Sakura. And the op put Kazuha in the last because I think that Kazuha has a ballet background. When we talk about dance there are many different types of dances and each have their own styles and techniques. For example Kazuha in the field of ballet has a great sence and is very good but since kpop lean towards more of a hip hop and modern dance which is different from ballet and she only train for 3 months thats why compared to her other members her core is weak. And for Chaewon and Sakura, they have the experience of being on stage before and they know what they are strong and weak at and they can make their strong point to their advantages, to be a great dancer don't mean being flexible or sharp moves it also about the strategy and techique of the dancer. I don't know what type of dance does the OP do, but I think they are a hip hop or bboying dancer because they lean more towards that type of dances from their explation. And hip hop and ballet are very different from each other, ballet dancers are train to be elegent, beautiful, classy and each of their moves tell a story. I am a modern and chinoiserie dancer and my type of dancing lean towards that of Kazuha since we have similar background.
Agree with OP's opinion. People need to stop looking at Sakura’s dance skills for only AKB48 or izone days. The best 3 dancers are Sakura, Chaewon and Yunjin. Even Chaewon told that Eunchae and Kazuha missed some dance steps when she monitored the dance isolation by the group fancam.
i noticed that lesserafim are average dancers some of them are still stiff, and I've watch their fancams you could really notice, they have good energy and balance that's why they look amazing when dancing, but in real life i noticed that their skills and dancing must be practiced more, also in lesserafim i think chaewon dances best tho she's a little stiff actually all of them, chaewon has the best balance, sakura is still stiff but compared to her in izone she improves so much, why doesn't anybody sees that?? yunjin doesn't really like dancing she said that before I'm glad she's improved a lot ever since being in pd48 she's still not that good a dancing since you could see her lacking but so far she had a great improvement, as for kazuha it's normal for her to be flexible since she's a ballerina however i noticed that she still lack in dancing, like in isolations she had good torso control tho that's a must because she's a ballerina and her balance is outstanding, and lastly eunchae i noticed how stiff she was sometimes she doesn't have a good torso control but I'm amazed how well she performs, i want people to see that idols have weaknesses too, not because you see them dancing well means their a good dancer because off cam they cried in order to be what they are right now, i stated some of their weaknesses when watching don't just watch, observe also.
bro this is so underrated. no one notices sakura's dance skill. everyone just calls her "only visual" but no one is talking abt HOW MUCH SHE IMPROVED!!
everyone is like Le Sserafim is the best when it comes to dnace in 4th gen gg! but then there is New Jeans, Nmixx, and Kepler- NOT saying that they r bad dnacers, but when it comes to open style, there r groups who excel at that more.
Unpopular Opinion: People need to shut theyre mouth saying zuha is main dancer material. Like I get it she's a ballerina but that is not a valid reason to call her a "Main Dancer Material" and yall defending her that she has the shortest period of training but accept it that Yunjin/Chaewon are better than her. Heck, even Sakura is. She is not in her PD48 days. Girly improved. If she got proper training, girly couldve excelled in the dance category.
Looking at Kazuha’s dance (don’t get me wrong she’s a great dancer) I was shocked learning she’s the main dancer because compared to Chaewon and Sakura her dance is really nothing special except for her flexibility and plus Kazuha does not have a fitting dance style for K-Pop though she would make elegant songs look amazing
I didn’t really follow Izone so I thought Sakura has always been THIS GOOD and didn’t understand the hate at all. I guess most people are still biased. Nice to hear that even a real dancer confirms that Sakura is a good dancer.
I think i like Chaewon's dancing more. Absolutely no hate to Sakura ( She is an absolute queen ) But i just really like Chaewon's dancing skills and especially in the Anti-fragile era which she owned ❤️
I don't think Kazuha is the worst dancer of the group tho, and yes I know that even if someone is a ballet dancer it doesn't mean they are the best but i think Eunchae would be the last one tho. Just my opinion
it’s been 8 months and you guys still call this ranking because you can accept facts 💀 this list gives you actual reasons for their ranking, ppl saying kazuha is the best dancer never give proof except “she does ballet”
The editor is talking about dancing the dance style now, not Kazuha's old dance style. Kazuha is a great ballet dancer, but she is weaker in a more hip-hop style. as a hip-hop dancer i can't dance ballet:)
(⚠Warning⚠:This could make ppl mad) Ik that KAZUHA isn't the best LE SSERAFIM dancer, but she def isn't the worst and I think CHAEWON and SAKURA should switch given she is exceptional dancing
it's funny that many disagree about sakura. soyeon amy even always entrusts important and difficult positions to sakura. like hydra and eve psyche. A choreo coach has better judgment than those of you who think full power dancing and ballet are everything
Guys why do you underestimate Sakura so much 😢, she has great technique, isolations and she is ranked 1 in open style dancing , stage presence, flexibility ≠ great dancing
I agree with everything else except chaewon should be first because of sakura's inconsistency. Kkura is my ultimate bias but I would have to admit that with regards to her dancing skill, she has good and bad days. Her improvement should not be a factor to rank her PRESENT dancing skill BUT she and Eunchae has the most potential as I see it. Kazuha is still adapting to kpop dancing and Yunjin is also good.
