As much as I like Tomoko as an idol, I'm not a big fan of her singing voice. I'd choose to see Karin over her ten times out of ten.

I quite like her singing voice, but it's definitely not versatile. So unless she sings slow songs and jazzy tunes for a whole set, I dunno what to think lol.

I wonder if she'll graduate next year or whether they want to give Juice some break. At this point all of the original members can be one foot into new things - Karin already is, for sure.

Sounds like a dinner show, so I expect it to be about as exciting as all those aimless OG shows.

It's gonna be interesting to see if BEYOOOOONDS can sustain their success, because aside from just wanting more great stuff from them, I want to see how MM reacts to being seriously challenged by another H!P group.

It would be great for someone to actually beat MM's sales but I think nobody since Koharu has done it (after Ayaya ofc).
Honestly BEYOOOOONDS was pretty close, they were only 30k away from beating MM's last single (Jinsei/Seishun). Megane/DNA/Go Waist actually outsold Brand New Morning/Jealousy Jealousy. Runner-up is Tsubaki. Angerme and Ju=Ju have been selling about the same since JJ added its 2nd gen, and Tsubaki has actually been outselling them both.
So I'm also curious to see where BEYOOOOONDS goes.... I mean shoot, if they really get some decent public exposure and keep up the entertaining songs/characters, they could technically outsell MM at some point. But 15th gen might boost MM sales. Only time (and management practices) will tell, lol
#405
Posted 31 December 2019 - 01:23 AM
15th gen and BYNDS have me stoked because, with J=J and Angerme likely to both lose important members in 2020, these groups represent the immediate future of H!P to me. MM will probably lose members, too, but their replacements are already here and already killing it.

I wonder if this would be happening at all had Funaki not decided to leave. As it is, though, there is at least a 50-50 chance that Takeuchi announces her graduation sometime this year, which would make for an almost unfathomable talent drain over 2 years. I think they could survive a Takeuchi graduation if Musubu were still around for the long-haul -- you'd have a a solid core of Murota, Sasaki, Moe and Funaki -- but without her, it becomes dicey. If they can strike gold like they did with MM 15th gen, though, no one will care.

Am I the only guy who thinks Moe has plateaued the last couple of years, and not quite reached the potential most of us saw in her early on?
