There is a pretty big gap between performance and release so I can understand forgetting... I sure haven't paid much attention to people being out >_>;;

That makes sense. Hope they're doing alright.

There's a bunch of uploads for Tokyo Idol Festival 2022 and Juice=Juice was short a bunch of members, were they out on injury/sickness?

I wonder if she was trying to avoid vitriol from people who didn't like her? Either that or she wanted to organically gain an audience rather than rely on fans.

Wow another solo gen for momusu, I know the group is rather large right now but I wasn't expecting them to do another solo gen.

I'm interested in a new group, it's not like they can put all the KKS into existing groups anyway.

Glad to hear she's coming back, I hope she's doing alright. That's such a scary condition to have.

Woah that's quite the throwback.

Airi's memory of recording the song was watching Reina record before her and Reina's "doushite futari de wa aenai no?" - apparently the note going up was something Reina did on her own and Tsunku approved it.

Aha this explains the cover of the peace I saw!

The Warriors spin off of Fire Emblem Three Houses (Fire Emblem Three Hopes) got a demo up on the eshop today. I played a bit and I enjoyed it a lot - guess I'm ordering this for the end of the month.

I definitely agree covid threw a wrench in the whole thing. When the announcement was made for Chii, it sounded like she had been planning to leave in 2021. I get the feeling Eripon would leave before the other 2 considering she has things outside of H!P, but I have never been good at guessing gradu...

I was kind of surprised at the 2 week gap between Adrenaline Dame and this, so the fact it dropped right after Ocha Norma is even more oof.

I like the song a lot, but DonJuan you're right, it's very reminiscent of 46 group songs. My first thought was old Nogi...

Personally between this and Tsubaki's, I'd say Tsubaki's was more dynamic. I guess I just do not like drone shots?

Yeah I immediately thought of older Momusu songs when I heard the start of this song. It's uplifting!

After that, I'd add... Erina Ikuta. Have things changed since I left? :ph34r: O ye of little faith... :sad2: I would say Erina's definitely improved a lot in that regard. But I also agree with jpope's assessment - dance ability wasn't much of a focus back before 9ki. It wasn't until then that Momus...

Justin Kanda on Twitter gives some more details. The YT channel is just a part of a larger management company that Sayuki is building. https://twitter.com/JPN_ENG_Kanda/status/1513596160031674369 This is actually amazing, and I'm pulling for her to be successful with it. Fascinating, I imagine she ...

I wish they were on Spotify, it makes it really hard to send music to my friends, since they prefer Spotify.

Great work Shoujo!

Wow, I didn't think there'd be a period of no graduations longer than 2007-2009. Frankly I didn't even notice. But I think that period was more noticeable since there were also no new additions...

Ai Mashou premiered on H!S

Wow congratulations! I know nothing about soccer clubs so I have no sense of how good or bad that team is, but I'm happy for them.

Preteen me was really into magical girl anime and I ended up watching Shugo Chara > Buono! > C-ute/Berryz > Momusu but Momusu was a passing interest at the time because I only knew Koharu's solo music and I hated everything after Balalaika lmao. Then Shouganai Yume Oibito hooked me and at the time t...

Not going to lie I totally would not mind a group of every member and they do a brand new Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari. Just for huge nostalgia points.

Reposting the new one plus one here since it was actually on the KKS channel and I apparently wasn't awake enough to realize that. (someone remove my post in ocha norma thread please...)

Been a while - are the bolded songs new songs?

eta: I just looked at release forum and the answer is yes

Some old videos, I was going on a major nostalgia trip recently...

This is so sad to hear, I was really looking forward to more from the current lineup. Manakan really shines in the group too.

I kind of thought they'd go in generation order for the start and then all of a sudden they changed it. But I love this nostalgia kick.

Triangle Strategy has been a lot of fun for me, maybe I will finally circle back around to Final Fantasy Tactics as I really have grown to enjoy the tactical rpg playstyle.

Bad translation, because while "yabai" can translate to bad it can also be used to mean good/amazing etc depending on the speaker. Considering who is speaking, it's likely the latter.

So I thought this group was a UFA group but now I see it's actually part of H!P... the only video I saw was the one with Reirei and then I was confused because it wasn't on the KKS channel.

Agreed with JPope, definitely does feel like early Tsubaki.

I voted both Harunas, both related to age... Harunan because she's older. For ogata, I feel like being around 18 has been the reasoning for a lot of these graduations lately, they want to go in a different direction.


But maybe I'm just totally throwing a wild guess in there.
