Hello! Pro Kenshuusei get active!

[Anderei]

At this point, I would think it's safe to assume none of them are going to be in the training camp. But it's not certain.

[momoirosaya]

I wonder if they're wanting to add new members to S/mileage? Or if they want to make a new group with those girls. (Which would be awesome).

[Anderei]

That would make S/milege really big. I don't think they're going to do that.

Not all of them, just a few.

[Anderei]

Oh. Hm. I still hope that's not it. I really like S/mileage as they are now. I'd prefer this just be another way they're trying to give exposure/experience to the Eggs.

[Enmiz]

More exposure and then a new group! Right? pretty please? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />



Although it does kind of stink if they were dead set on being in MM. But I'm sure Tsunku/UFA will amaze us once again. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... lleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />

[Anderei]

I think that when a girl really wants to be an idol, she'll take whatever she can get. Which is why we see so many former auditions sometimes very quickly after they've failed and not always in groups that are even slightly well known.

[rob]

Anderei is talking about Murakami Sara right?



There are only 2 things I will accept for Karin.



1 - Join MM as the replacement for Reina.



2 - Become the main vocalist/front of a NEW group.



Anything else including going solo would pretty much suck.

[/quote]

I wouldn't say so. A LOT of girls who want to be idols audition for bunches of groups.



And Karin has said herself that she wants to either go solo or be in a new group, but mainly go solo.

[rob]

Yeh I heard her say that...



While going solo would be awesome in itself, traditionally H!P soloists have done pretty badly and tend to vanish pretty quickly, cya kikka



A new group is something I hadn't thought about before, but it could be good.... still, my number one choice would be for her to join MM and kick much ass.



I know they audition for a bunch, the only one I can remember hearing about is Sara though, she joined some random idol group, never to be heard of again.

I'm sure there were many others, I just never heard of them.

[Haru]

Kikka isn't H!P, she's UFA. There is a difference.

[rob]

"You Kikkawa(吉川 友 Kikkawa Yū^?, born May 1, 1992 in Ibaraki Prefecture) is a Japanese pop singer and former member of Hello! Project."



Same shit, different name, for example - http://www.up-front-agency.co.jp/index.php which lists, C-ute, s/mileage, mm etc etc



I'm just saying UFA, H!P etc soloists tend to be rather unpopular in the long term.

[Anderei]

Kikka was an Egg, though. Which means a lot of people probably don't even know she was ever with H!P. She's also with Universal, who aren't doing that great a job of promoting her, when it should give her the advantage over everyone in H!P.

In the credits for the Hello! Project winter concert ("Rock-chan") they're listed as "Hello! Pro Kenshusei."



This thread topic i.d.'s them as "Kenseggs." Is one the official new name for the Eggs and the other just a nickname?



Thanks.

They will now and forever be known as the Hello!Project Eggs or H!P Eggs (or The Eggs) for short. Some genius in UFA decided to rename them the Hello!Pro Kenshusei.



Thread title was made to appease both parties. Those who call them the kenshusei and those who still call them Eggs.

[Shoujo Q]

Tanabe Manami, Murota Mizuki & Hamaura Ayano show off the tour goods to their latest concert.

[al kusanagi]

Ayano's been getting a big push ever since she joined. She is a cutie though.

Oh wow. Their smiles and outbursts are just. so. obviously fake. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... popper.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':popper:' />

These girls have got a long way to go.

[momoirosaya]

I didn't realize Ayano had such long hair! It's always been behind her head, making it look short!

[Anderei]

Ayano is soooo cute.

[Anderei]

Sekai wa Summer Party recording. From their Shiodome AX event.

[rob]

Incoming MM member http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/photo/2016660/6/



"The main performer on many of the songs" is what it says underneath the photo.

[Shoujo Q]

Yamaga Kanae, she disappeared recently, with no word of if she dropped out or graduated or anything. But here she is singing My Days For You from back in June.



And Rob, stop spamming the spam thread with egg stuff, you know we have this thread.

[Icee]

^ I hope Kanae is still with Eggs. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' /> I've been a fan of her since the S/mileage audition.

[Anderei]

That Kanae recording is from 8/26. Shiodome AX.



Some photos of the concert from De View:























And a fan-recording of the 2nd performance.

[rob]

Well, nobody seems to know this new Karin song even exists so I uploaded it to youtube.



AFAIK you can only buy this if you live in Japan... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6x7g8pRSKE&feature=youtu.be

[Solarblade]

I just heard Kiss me Aishiteru by the five the performed it recently and I must say that I would love for a group to happen with Karin, Aina, Sayuki, and Natsumi....but I would trade out Hamachan for Kurumi....I think the latter would fit more than squeaky Ayano.

[ObsidianSet]

Aren't the 2nd generation positions in S/mileage still officially temporary? If that's the case then there's always the chance of members being swapped in and out with the Kenshuusei.
