H!P Kenshuusei Thread

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I'm excited to see clips from this one. Lots of fresh faces (for me), voices I haven't heard much yet. Should be fun!

Wow! Overall, the girls did great! I knew Momoha was probably going to give an amazing performance but I thought Hanano also did really well! And the older Kenshuusei all did well (Toa did better than expected, you know?). I'm not surprised with the results.

You knew Hayashi Niina's popularity alone wasn't gonna get her 2nd win this time.

[Shoujo Q]

Momoha did such an amazing job that it just feels like UF snagged her for the sole purpose of adding her to an existing group. She is clearly ready to debut and she hasn’t even been there a year.

Nemoto Karin Is clearly an ace in the making if she sticks around long enough. Aside from her body just giving out near the end, she did an amazing job for someone her age.

Niina was great but with so many new girls to vote for this year it’s clear she’d never be able to keep the same number of votes.

I loved Itsuki last year and this year she delivered again.

Now's the time for wild speculation.

Toa - MM Ikuta's successor
Niina - J=J Tomoko has a successor
Yurika - ON Ishiguri's successor
Itsuki - Ange Takechans successor
Momoha - Ange /Rikako's successor

My wild speculation is middle-of-the-road KSS like Ootsubo Mano, Asano Yurika, or Hattori Rua will be considered for MM (though I desperately want Niina and Momoha, which means it will never happen).

I will argue J=J is the home for aspiring vocalists who actually want lines, so Hayashi Niina would be an excellent fit here.

Oono Airi is definitely Angerme material personality-wise, and I agree both Nagano Momoha and Nishimura Itsuki would really blossom here as well.

As for the other groups, I'm part of the crowd who feel like ON and RC are too new to justify needing more girls, and I'd like to see Beyo go until its natural end like BeriKyuu.
