Translation a little more than halfway down the page. I absolutely do not vouch for it, as I don't know a lick of Japanese. Very different meaning from the original.

Great performance! I've already watched it twice, and I expect it won't end there.

They look like they are enjoying themselves, though, especially the blond who is imitating American country appearance.

but,
they won me over. They are really feeling and conveying the music. Adorable is the right word for them.

Often during the performance, some of them randomly hold up their index finger, like the "wait a sec while I'm making a point" gesture. Is that meaningful, or perhaps a cultural thing for young Japanese people?
