They seem like a unit with potential, though I know nothing of their voices or personalities xD

Re: Kobushi Factory - New KSS Unit
We might as well just call them NO NAME (like in AKB0048).
Or to make it more UFA appropriate NO NAME (仮).
And aren't they supposed to be having their indies next month?
Cool new intro video <a class="bbc_url" href="http://youtu.be/DfEpaiNww0g">http://you ... aiNww0g</a>

They're gonna be at Hinafest, too... Maybe Shin UNIT will be their name =w=
Hopefully their name will be disclosed at Hina?

Re: Kobushi Factory - New KSS Unit
I'm guessing their stuff is going to get pushed back like CG, because a name announcement and an indies single doesn't seen likely in the span of a month. UFP took on a bit too much at once it looks like.

Name of the group was announced as Kobushi Factory
Debut DVD single "Nen ni wa Nen / Survivor" out in March

Re: Kobushi Factory - New KSS Unit
Apparently Shimizu Saki had a hand in naming them. Looking at that name it really doesn't help with the idea of them being the Berryz replacement group. Factory = Workshop?

こぶしファクトリー
Kobushi means magnolia. They said that they chose that because in flower language it means friendship and trust, and they want them to bloom beautifully like magnolia's.
Kobushi also means fist.
I think it would have been nicer as
辛夷ファクトリー
or
辛夷Factory
like the opposite of Berryz with kanji in the front.

Koubou=Factory. Management isn't hiding the fact that this group is Berryz's replacement.

Re: Kobushi Factory - New KSS Unit
I liked the idea for the name, as if they are inheriting the soul of Berryz Koubou, since they are sort of in the same position the H!P Kidz were back in the day.
The extensiveness of the Kobushi meaning might be difficult to convey, but perhaps the group will be focused on flowers, lol.
I was personally excited to learn that Saki and Chinami aren't leaving H!P entirely, as they were my favorites in BK even if they wont be main roles.

It would be cute if their member colors were flowers (like how JJ is fruits).

No. Just no.
To be the magnolia flower, it's 辛夷.

Re: Kobushi Factory - New KSS Unit
I would've liked them to have a name that's their own identity and not a sort of remembrance to Berryz. It shows just how hard H!P insists on clinging to the past.
<p class="bbc_center">
Re: Kobushi Factory - New KSS Unit
I love the name of the group. I hope they get to play with a whole bunch of different styles of songs in the vain of Berryz. Have fun with this group.
I just hope I can grow to like the group. Right now, aside from a few of the older trainees, I really don't know any of the girls. Especially the old TNX trainees. They seem like a good bunch of girls, so I expect good things from them overall. Should be an interesting year.

This is a place where a signature goes. Enjoy some Airi instead.
Re: Kobushi Factory - New KSS Unit
I like the name. Mostly because factory is one of my favorite words.

Re: Kobushi Factory - New KSS Unit
The name is so cute!
Ko-ko-bushi factory... LAHV LAHV IS SO WONDERFULLLLLL~ But no really... Some expected this group to be more "cutesy" since it doesn't have strong singers, so I have high hopes for some fun, weird songs from them. I wonder if their debut songs will be done by Tsunku or someone else? Takui with a Berryz-like song?

I like the name, and I agree that 辛夷Factory would have been perfect. It's so much more conducive to a logo.

Re: Kobushi Factory - New KSS Unit
Since they are still in their indie stages I hope that once they go major they'll have a kick ass cohesive logo brand name to go major with.

I quite like the name now and I agree with what's bolded.
But it's a loss that they're officially Berryz succesors, it's not their own identity.

Re: Kobushi Factory - New KSS Unit
Yeah, I'm disappointed they're basically next generation Berryz. While I liked a lot of their stuff, I don't really care for this "passing of the baton." I'd rather they have their own separate identity as a group.

If it is, and the songs are good, this will probably be my version of Thea's love for LILIUM, since I dig these psychological warfare plots so bad.
