Yeah I feel like she’s not a great person and I know she’s young, but she’s still old enough to know better. She always did seem off in group videos. I guess the reason was that she just hates everyone.

Singing about pimples again lol


I like it, but I agree it sounds old. MM needs to find their new sound...everything looks recycled, even the dancing.

Trending on Twitter today #ジブリで学ぶハロプロ (Learn HelloPro with Ghibli) The former MM Ace Sayashi <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://twitter.com/kbsfct13/status/1309311029294186496?s=21' class="bbc_url" title="External link">https://twitter.com/kbsfct13/status/130931102929418649...

Hmmm it could be fake. I read through the screenshots and it also just doesn’t seem like her? Obviously I don’t know her, but the text seems like a whole different person.

I have Apple Music so it’s always been Gucci for me. I don’t think Spotify is really popular in Japan to begin with, but we all know H!P doesn’t really care about international streams/fans/promotion.


Still mad no3b isn’t on Apple Music. All my mp3s are on my old computer back in America.

I think Sakura can graduate and do solo activities. She doesn’t need MM anymore.

Her graduation is on hold rn.

Niigaki just started her channel like last week.


Ogata’s channel made actually me like her. And she was my least favorite when she was in MM.

Yeah I also doubt that it’s Kanon. There are some parts where it sounds like her, but it doesn’t sound enough like her, it’s just someone with a similar vocal tone.

I like that H!P is bring creative with MV’s again.

^Now that Riho’s back, she’s also the only one who has no media presence.

^Oota has been on hiatus due to rule breaking since February. Who knows if she’s ever coming back though.

Yes.

She’s got a bit of a nasal tone going on though. It would sound much better if she could drop where she’s producing those notes from and sing from her diaphragm/a lower place in her body. She’s able to do a bit, I heard flashes of it, but it might have been unintentional. Her voice breaks a bit beca...

Uh I thought the first song was a weird title until I saw #5.

I feel like I stopped liking MM when Tsunku left H!P. They just don’t stand out anymore.

And now Gaki started a YouTube channel:

Niigaki announced on Instagram that she left UFP. She is a freelancer now.

Just watched the group performances.

Massara Blue Jeans was particularly rough to watch. Good singing can save bad dancing, but good dancing cannot save bad singing...

Of the available videos I thought Kitahara Momo was the best. Her singing skills are lacking, but she has the makings of a good voice with proper training and her dancing and impressions were good. Many of the girls are rushing and singing too fast, I’m sure because they’re nervous, but what really ...

Do the KSS members choose their songs for these, or are they assigned to them?</blockquote>
I’m pretty sure they choose them.

Akari kind of had a dark sexy vibe when performing, so I feel like she didn’t have the image JYP(person) was looking for in the end.

I wonder if Akari and Riria are still training with JYP(company). I know Yuna is.

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="WonderBuono" data-cid="220699" data-time="1595210649"> They are such a good group, the only one I don't really care for is Ayaka because I think JYP only liked her for her looks/charm... but I don't really dislike...

^Seconding you on the there’s no one I dislike. In general I’ve been more into Kpop groups lately because they train so much and are just at a higher level than most Jpop idols. Whereas the girls I tend to not care about in H!P are those who lack skills.

NiziU is my new favorite idol group and my oshi is Rima.


They are doing an event to vote for their signatures right now. Each member designed 2 and fans vote which is best.

^They’re definitely what’s tending now in Japan though.

Someone in the comments said Sakura sings like she’s talking to a lover she broke up with, while Sayuki sing like she’s talking to a lover who died. I enjoyed Sakura’s singing more, technically it sounded like she had more control over her voice and notes. I was surprised she did whistle tones! But ...

This single is interesting, but it’s a miss for me.
