Mano Erina has graduated from H!P

[Jessi]

Its the same person. Your nitpicking at this point since I know everyone understands that by mentioning Koharu as a soloist your really saying Tsukishima Kirari. Also she was H!P. She was on the H!P page as an H!P artist. Thats like saying Buono! Isn't H!P because they were originally made for Shugo Chara. Buono! is H!P.

But see, Buono! weren't characters. They just had tie-ins. That's why they're still around. Tsukishima Kirari's songs were specifically made for Tsukishima Kirari and not anyone else. They were written/composed for the character, not for Kusumi Koharu.

Sorry, but in my mind Kirari =/= Koharu. Koharu portrayed the character, yes, but essentially her solo stuff was a bunch of character/image songs. It's why I don't consider most seiyuu to have solo careers until they release something that's not a character song or a theme song to an anime where they're the main character.

Mizuki Nana, for example, has done a lot of solo releases that have not been tied to anime, but she started off doing theme songs/character songs. Koharu could have released solo stuff post-Kirari as strictly Kusumi Koharu, but she didn't.

Tl;dr: Kirari's songs were made for a character. Buono!'s were not.

My point was Koharu made music in some form by herself without being in a group and it was awesome music. I don't care if she is Koharu or Kirari or whatever you want to make the label. Just because buono and Koharu as Kirari had minor and debatable differences does not change my point that they are both H!P. At this point you are arguing to argue. You seem to get annoyed at minor details. Like who cares if the Kenshuusei are called Eggs or called keggs. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean all of Jplop will suddenly change their preferences. I'm going to continue to refer to koharu's time making singles under the character of Kirari as her time as an H!P soloist and I'm calling the kenshuusei keggs! Not KSS. That's not nearly as cool of a shortened name anyway.

I'm just being anal.

But the Kenshuusei thing is people being lazy AND WRONG!!!!!!!!!

(Just kidding.)
