There’s a lot of KSS who are really good, but I want there to be a few KSS to be left over for 1-2 more years to carry the program as more girls get added in. Riai is debuting in MM or Juice=Juice no doubt, but I’m also rooting for Kirara, OnoKoto, Natsume, Kanami, Sato Hikari and Ichigo as well.

Just listened to Kirara and I must say, im impressed. She seems confident in her vocal abilities & I feel like being in JJ will just take her voice to the next level. 

 

She also looks like a young saybee

i actually hope this is the last time we get new members to be honest. Most of the groups seem pretty large and Juice=Juice is quite popular even if they have fewer members than Angerme, for example.
I wanted to see them go the °C-ute rute and eventually disband and end everything they created, but i guess they would become a generational group instead.
But whatever, new members are always welcome lol but idk if i want Riai in MM or JJ, MM sure need her more, but JJ is filled with good singers and if someone with a not-so-good voice will probably stand out and maybe even get hate.
Also, congratulations to my Queens Tomoko and Sayubee with they leadership. Im sure they will do amazing and lead JJ to great things

Also don't forget about the quality aspects as well. JJ is famous for their quality of performance (singing, dance). Addition of Ruru (vocal), and Manaka (dance) emphasize this aspect. Yanamin of course was talented member, with great character like Yuka.

So I'm bet they'll add someone who's best at some aspect, either singing, dancing, or character (like Yuka or Yanamin)

If they include a character pick, that would probably be Kudo Yume. She seems more like an Angerme girl for how outlandish her personality can seem at times, but unlike most personality picks, she also has the vocal ability to back it up.

I’m glad I’m not the only one tired of generational groups. All good things come to an end, and both Berryz and C-ute were great because they stuck with the same members and eventually came to an end with the same girls from start to finish. Morning Musume was special because they were generational and that made them different from all the H!P groups. But now we have three groups that are the same in that structure, and it’s tiring... so although with this announcement I’ve accepted Juice’s official status of being a rotational group, I hope they’re the last group to become one. If all of H!P’s groups become rotational then there’s nothing unique about any of them, and they’ll just go on forever... and that’s pretty boring. Like, it’s because groups disband eventually that we see new groups debuting in their place, with unique identities of their own. If all the groups last indefinitely, we won’t see that anymore.

Anyway, looking forward to the announcement. I’m not familiar with the KSS at all so I have no guesses or hopes. lol

Speculation from 2ch wota, regarding "The silhouette girls from video" are interesting. Some of the "analysis" :
- She/they had mature vibes
- She/they had medium-long hair
- Quite tall/medium. Not short.

Well then, always interesting to see their opinion just for fun , can wait for tomorrow.

[tanakarlos]

I prefer Juice=Juice being a generational group, I love their music and their style too much for it to end and become history as C-ute or Berryz did, as long as they avoid growing as numerous as MM or Angerme it will be fine.

[Fall]

Man, when I call it, I call it. J=J is definitely gonna keep up the high level performances.

 

New Members:

 

Spoiler

Matsunaga Riai

 

 

 

Kudo Yume

[Danes83]

Damn, that was too overwhelming, JJ's members are too high in terms of Quality..

Now we have 2 ex-Kenshuu test's winner
- Danbara Ruru (winner of 2016 & 2018 test)
- Matsunaga Riai (winner of 2019 test)

Don't forget Kudo Yume was a winner in vocals of last Kenshuu test.

And the visual aspect is too strong here


Congratulations JJ, hope they can perform better.

[KawaiiLand]

Management want somebody that can inherit all that Sayuki-Karin-Tomoko-Akari vocal lines

[Greyface]

Well, now it's real, and not this or that theory. The two new members might be great, I don't know... (I pay very little attention to the KSS until they're put in groups and debuted)

I am just frustrated at the size of the group. I literally cannot FOLLOW 8 members around stage simultaneously. I have to constantly refocus here or there and I know I'm always missing stuff happening elsewhere. But I guess that's not something other people care about or the trend towards every group being huge would have ended a decade ago.

[tanakarlos]

Both are really great additions to J=J, I never considered Yume, but Riai addition was obvious. Does anybody else think Riai somehow resembles Ruru? 

[ruel]

[Mikansei Girl 17]

What color will they get ?

 

My prediction is:

Kudo Yume 

Matsunaga Riai

[Danes83]

If the color will be translated into fruit image, Blueberry (of Yanamin) and Yuka's peach will be available.

[Mikansei Girl 17]

^
The group appears to have dropped the fruit concept.

[Jenksy]

I'd give Riai dark blue/light purple
and Yume light pink/light blue

[zorkle22]

They a;ready changed the group pic for Juice=Juice already. Can't wait to see the new group pic with the new members.
