Very honestly .. I know nuts of the people in this group ..
I like Hamachan because she is cute .. plain and simple .. she caught me from one of those magazine pictures ..lol
Now .. I really got to find out about them ..
I can't dig up stuff relating to their talent and characteristic ..
but by just looking ..
I think Tagucchi, MinaMina, Ayapan are really cute ..
and WadaSaku and Reirei are really pretty ..
(I am copying and pasting their nickname from wiki honestly .. so I hope I don't get it wrong and sound stupid .. )

I guess .. the rest of the stuff .. I would find out in time ..

[MeganeKirin]

After all these years....I still cant differentiate Taguchi and Minami apart and now, they're together in a unit.       

 

Im happy for all these girls

Traslation of Takagi Sayuki blogpost (full post here: http://blog-project....i-sayuki/219265)
I had to share it because of this part

I’m really really really
Glad。

When I heard about these members、
Tears flowed。

Due to joy, of course。

When Hamaura Ayano-chan saw me crying、 she said 「Sayuki-chan、 I thought you cried because you hated having a new unit」、

Not a single such thought crossed my mind。


My beloved Hello! Pro Kenshuusei juniors…
8 of them at that！！…

I’m really glad。



Taguchi Natsumi、 Hamaura Ayano-chan、 Ogawa Rena-chan、 Nomura Minami-chan

I’ve been active together in the Hello! Pro Kenshuusei for the longest time with these 4 in particular、

I’ve told them off countless times、 but despite that, they’d always come to me with a 「Sayuki-chaーn」 「Takagi-saーn」…

They’re really cute、 I love them。
So I’m really glad。



You know、 Nomura didn’t even know how to tie her shoelaces。 lol

Since I taught her！！lol

How nostalgic～。

These girls have worked that hard、
Being selected for a new unit like this、 the joy just doesn’t stop。

But、 we have to do our best too！！

So that we don’t lose to the new members, with their vigour。

We should always be at full force, right。

Since they’re doing their best、
It’d make me glad if you went to the events and concerts of the new members、

But don’t forget about us、
Please come and see Juice=Juice too。

Hirose-chan、 Inoue-chan、 Fujii-chan、 Sako、 Renako、 Nomura、 Hamasuke、 Taguchi…

Many、 many congratulations。

Thank you Sayuki for caring about them and being happy with them.

lol .. I think I have the same problem .. but their different hair lengths helps ..

I have one question. Which group will win new artist of the year? Country Girls or this new Group? 

Okay, I have two questions.

Is Angerme considered a new group? Country Girls vs Angerme VS New KSS Group for Best New Artist of the year!

[yoshioshi]

So excited for this. I wonder what their style will be?

[SailorKame]

surprised Musubu and Danbara didn't make this group... I just hope with all these new and reformed groups, there's some vision of where they want them to go... I'm worried they may just be throwing up as many groups as possible without really having a medium to long-term strategy.

[Potassium Bicarbonate]

I'm happy to hear this, especially since most of these girls were question marks.  This year the KSS program finally feels like it's working the way it's supposed to.  I know it's unrealistic to think they're all going to make it, however, with the way things are going I'm not feeling the need to worry about them individually anymore and that's awesome.

 

I also trust UFP as it is now to be able to handle all these groups.  You'd think with the auditions being announced so long ago that CM has been budgeted out for a year and this group is likely taking the surplus that Berryz will leave behind.  They seem to have their heads on straight.

[kang shirou]

Congrats for them, hope ufa didn't pick a name based on number thingy. Or it will became fun? Such as 8 Aces maybe

(lol this remind me a bit with nogi46 selected member most front layer position in some of their single)

[Obsidian]

I think it's another one in the faces of people who thought the KSS wasn't working , it already had a great success level and now that's vastly vastly increased in the space of just a few months.

 

Also people are underestimating Nomura's vocal skills I think the main reason she's fought her way through is improving an amazing amount in that area over the last year. She's got a lot more power and now the confidence boost she needed to go up the next level, she's got a really nice clear voice.

[LoveRice]

Colonel has entered the game.

 

 

I can really see Sakurako and Rei on my oshi list.

Really wish Kiisora debuted though...

Can't wait for this group

[Samira']

Yay Hamachan! I'm not familiar with any of the other girls, but yay for them as well . I do hope that my favorite KSS girls (Kaga, Kishimoto, and Danbara) get to debut soon...although that might not be happening in 2015.

[hanabiii]

 

 

 

Ayaka sings at 1.28 here 
 


 
I know I'm exaggerating, but I can see a new Airi here 

 

Ayaka did well but Danbara Ruru  is still better than her.

 

I don't want Ayano to become leader.. i prefer her as the ace/center of her group.

[Ady001]

I'm sorry if I sound a bit harsh, but can we just end this discussion about Nanami? This isn't a Tanabe Nanami thread, this is a thread dedicated to the 8 girls featured in the new unit =/. If you want to continue the whole Nanami thing, she has a lovely thread over at the Hello! Pro Kenshuusei section where you can discuss. Not here.

 

^^ Well, you might as well have to forgive some of us if Nanami's name pops out here and there. Some might say it's a missed opportunity, some say it was probably borne out of her approaching high school and the exams and all, and some would say she was simply exasperated being the most senior in the group with fading chances of ever debuting but honestly it's an inescapable fact.

 

A few points I've noticed:

1 - I've pointed this out before but with H!P groups growing in number, especially those groups that had updated like MM and ANGERME and probably this KSS group with the exception of Country Girls, are we then expecting that Juice=Juice might increase in number in the future? I'm counting out C-ute because of their constant lineup but who knows...

 

2 - It feels like Berryz Koubou is the only group in H!P that has not released their first single as an "indie." What group publishes the indie singles of H!P and how is it different from Up-Front groups like UUG Kako Kari?

[IchVermisseDenSommer]

Well, I hope we get to see some announcement content and how the members were told there is a new unit, at HelloSta.

ANGERME probably not (just name change after all)
not really sure with CG but if they are counted as new group instead of CM continuation, I think they can be counted in that award

this group hasn't performed their own song yet and you ask who will win?

[l33t4rtist]

I was really surprised upon hearing the news about a new group and then it took me a few mins to find the thread I'm used to breaking news being in the hello agency thread list.

Anyhow Im pretty excited to see and hear more about them in the future even though I'm not familiar with all of the girls yet. This year is going to be something else with so many changes and new groups/members. I hope the name is not as strange as angerme.

I do agree I feel like this 8nin group is replacement for the lose we are about to feel from berryz. I do hope for some fun young songs while I like the current style of h!p we haven't had any crazy songs recently.

[DomScatterbrain]

From JIJIPRESS, their introduction on yesterday concert:

https://www.youtube....rR55iaI&t=5m26s

[Ares13]
