Look Anderei, MM isn't wearing red!

[Anderei]

And Berryz aren't wearing blue! What's happening?

[star]

Everytime I see Country Girls I'm going to think "oh, those girls I dont really care about plus Momoko for no reason" and I have no clue why. Country Girls has stirred no excitement in me whatsoever and I'm confused as to why.

I thought the same as you did xD.

 

[Solarblade]

Another KSS unit has been announced, it's 8 members consisting of: Hamaura, Taguchi, Ogawa, Nomura, Wada, Fujii, Hirose, and Inoue Rei

[Derby]

What does a KSS unit mean? A future group or something like those who sang Kanojo ni naritai??

[Solarblade]

^

A new H!P group, though all the members were from the KSS

[Derby]

Ooh that's good, I didn't expect it that early. Country Girls has not even debuted yet, but I assume this is a really early announcement and the actual debut will be in Autumn or so.
3 of my top 4 Kenshuusei are debuting soon, I just can keep supporting and waiting for Kaede... Maybe if Aisasami's prediction comes true and they hold auditions for Juice=Juice
 
Still no debut for Ruru lol

[Solarblade]

Actually, its been said that theyll debut in March, so meaning that theyll probably just fill in the space Berryz leaves when they go on hiatus

[Anderei]

Also announced that ANGERME will have a Budokan concert on May 26th.

That's a really surprising line-up. There's a few semi-decent people, but there's only like one strong singer (Hirose) in the group.  Looks like they'll be competing with Country Girls for the title of least vocally talented group in H!P, lol. But I'm glad that Ayano finally got to debut. She's adorable.

I'm sure she will continue to improve, especially now that she's in a group.

[Banana]

I've always found to them both to be mediocre at best. I do like Rena's voice, though. I listen to the KSS concerts very regularly, so I'm fairly confident in my opinions about them. However, every now and then one of the girls improves dramatically and surprises me, so... who knows?
 
Also, I don't think we have the same standards when it comes to what we label good and bad, Saya. :P

Haha yeah I definitely grade idols a bit easier on singing since there are some truly awful ones out there. They do have a lot of technical issues like pitch and stuff, but I think that by being in a group and training more, they have a lot of potential to be good.

I missed this somehow. Yay.  I'd be more excited if the routines that they've done so far were more challenging but whatever. 

[Solarblade]

I would assume in the future, Fujii will join too itll be interesting who the other two choices from both groups could be.


Also, I wish Erabareshi Watashitachi was released already...that sounds so goooood

[star]

I thought Momoko was a Country Girls member, but she didn't sing with them. Why?

Also, Up Up Girls are love <3

[Mukuro]

Momoko joins after her berryz activities end. They'll probably make a major debut then.

[momoirosaya]

JJ looked so good on that stage, they are really solidifying themselves as a group. I feel like they will replace C-ute (once they graduate/go on hiatus) in terms of the style of songs they have, plus the fact that they a strong unit visualy, vocally, and dance wise. Hopefully they'll be able to get more pular this year, especially with all the new units.
 
Maho always looks like she doesn't know what she's doing on stage, she reminds me of Kanana when she first joined. Hopefully she'll catch up soon.
 
I am so excited for the new units though, but wow it really is going to be a new era of H!P as a whole.

[Purin-chama]

Maria is a spaz. Her and Rikako during the UUG song... Also Uta is adorable! She looks like Ayappe when she auditioned crossed with Sakura.

[TicTacAnyone]

Yeah Uta-chan is waaay too cute hahaa... Was surprised to see her actually singing/talking since she was *so* quiet from what we got previews of her for.

Only one shuffle song? Having a tour with no Zukki was bad enough, but I expected something more from this setlist.
I guess Buono and Maho's ballet stuff is okay though, but still ...

[Anderei]

Yeah, not the best setlist for either one.

[momoirosaya]

The shuffle song might change with each performance

[yuzuriha]

The Dance Mode setlist makes me think I would be in hysterics by the end.
