Dear God and Buddha, please let it be Nina.

My Kanji isn't the best but sometimes google translate says Member and sometimes it says Members.
I don't see anything that specifies singular or plural.

However J=J 1st draft pick. That's so fetch.

Place your bets now!


Niina, Momoha or Itsuki are my picks. And bumping for new page so you don’t miss the shocked reactions.

The members said they don't even know who it is yet.

H!P and Japanese itself can be very vague when it comes to plurals. The "shin-membaa" verbiage has stirred suspicions since the early days, because you really don't know if it's a single girl or multiple. We only have a few days to wait, so at least there's that :)

I’ m hoping for Niina or Momoha, and I bet her color member will be green

I've been listening to the Japanese fans react, they think it could be 2 or 3. That's a little greedy.

Side note: The last time we had a new member reveal at Budokan was Kaede and Reina back in 2016 right?

Oh wow, I wasn't expecting a new Juice member. Maybe Niina or Itsuki?

Juice=Juice has some many powerful singers and dancers and visuals, the only thing they need from Kenshuusei is interesting new personalities. I think Niina and Meisa bring that. But if they want an older member, it is Asano Yurika. Nishimura is kind of like Kawashima Mifu. Momoha is very "idol-ly"

Time for my theorizing (and to have a place I can reference back later to see how wrong I was :whistling: )

I've always thought of J=J as the place for vocalists to stretch their wings, even if they need a bit extra training (e.g. KanaTomo, Uemuu). My fear is Risa leaving in the fall and then either Ruru or Reirei next spring, and it's honestly better to have those who will inherit their space within the group trained and waiting in the wings.

Momoha already has great stability, and I would absolutely LOVE to see how she could grow vocally when challenged with J=J's discography (I imagine an early Sugaya Risako vs what she became capable of).
Niina would be a shoe-in for the more power-vocal parts with some additional training. She's basically the Ruru of her KSS era - the only difference being that people aren't calling her ugly.
Itsuki . . . call me crazy, but I wasn't terribly impressed with her during either Shindan Test. Her rhythm is very strong, which makes me think they would save her for MM since that is the more technical group when it comes to weird rhythms.
Meisa is another KSS with stable vocals and would be a good addition as a grower.

There are a lot of other growers in KSS (Yurika, Mano, Hikari, Riho), but I feel like management wants to save some of those "less popular" girls for MM and/or Angerme.

The newest member of Juice=Juice was announced : It's Hayashi Niina. The first member from Aichi to join Juice=Juice. Congratulations Niina! Her member color is Bright Green (Uemura Akari's color).

It's only her that is joining.
