I didn't even notice her (them?) in the picture, but now that you say it, it's pretty obvious
Japanese doesn't really utilize 3rd person pronouns, so there isn't a clear answer for this. I think she/they is probably most appropriate, but I say use whatever you're comfortable with.
the new outfits are looking suuuper nice as always!! i wonder if the new song is going to be part of a single?
I sense an album on the horizon. With most of their catalogue designed for 6 members, 7 at most, an album is an easy way to start off this bigger lineup and give the era more of an identity of its own.

Good point. But seriously, I had no idea Dempa was this inclusive, and it's a big name group too, not some obscure chika idol thing...
Man Hyadain is awesome. We should create a Hyadain thread.
The song is a smash, though, and the lyrics are great. I might translate if I have a free moment soon.
I would love to read your translation if you get the time! I didnt know what to say because a translation was posted by someone to twitter around the time you said this, I actually came back to the thread to link it, but I was interested in seeing your translation too so I didnt say anything haha. I just love this song so much but also I think a translation would be good for the thread as well.
edit: I do not have the full performance of that btw
Yes, they were discussing on Twitter how she inherited Eitaso's famous opening line in Future Diver. Which is perfect for me and also her.

Ooh, the pressure. Well, here's what I've come up with. I'll post this to a blog entry at some point, too, just so have a more easily accessible location.
What color ribbon should I use to adorn my dress?
The ball that I’ve been dreaming of
The sky and the birds and the sun
All seem like they’re celebrating
Thank you, everyone!
It’s this time already
Oh, I hope he picks me!
There was no pumpkin carriage anywhere
But somehow or another I finally arrived
It doesn’t seem real, that starting today
I will be a princess!
Wow!
I’m going to sing in front of so many people!
(Princess!)
I want to go to countries I’ve never heard of!
(Princess!)
I could eat delicious cakes!?
(Princess)
It feels like I could fly!
Dreams come true!
I’m living in the future I had longed for
Those awful days I had
Those memories I want to throw away
There was a reason for them after all
“My prince will make me happy”
My dreams are coming true
I’m so happy, lalalala
But please, won’t you tell me
Is there anything that comes after your dreams?
Okay, let’s begin!
Your dreams came true?
Okay! Congrats!
From now on, it’s the big show
There are a ton of things to do
Move it, move it, don’t sit down
More your limbs like a swan
The unparalleled celebrations are over
There will be no adjustment to the princess savannah
It won’t be easy!
Starting in the morning it’s dance practice
Table manners are common knowledge
You have to know much about art
Ballet, opera, and violin, too
You will not eat if you do not work, you know
This is princess life!
Dreams come true?
You get a happy end just by your dreams coming true
That’s not the case!
I want to do all sorts of things
I want to see what’s next
I’m greedy for more!
“My prince will make me happy”
Such a fantasy!
Things won’t come to you by waiting
That’s what happiness is
You have to grab it
Like crazy with your own damn hands
Things change so that they can stay the same
I’m not afraid anymore
Girls will always be
Princesses, you know
Princess Dempa Power!
Shine on!
Dreams come true!
I’m living in the future I had longed for
We’ll establish
A princess alliance
In a castle of our own!
I will make my prince happy!
That’s my resolution
Dan-digi-dandan, digi-dandan
Hey, listen?
Is there anything that comes after your dreams?
There are only dreams that come after your dreams!
Things are changing like crazy
2 and 3 and 4 times over
A ceaseless inherited pride
Even a million light-years in the future
Let’s have tea right here
Eternal Dempa Princess
^ Nope! All of the Dempa members prior to the new additions were even given their own YouTube channels so that they could produce content during lockdown. Some have even maintained them since: both Mirin and Eitaso have done some Q&A streams recently. Plus, Pinky was known first and foremost for her dance covers before she ever joined the group, so they have some experience letting the members keep their own thing going.
Speaking of which, watching a compilation of Mirin dying in Dark Souls 3 is quality content.
