This is such a good H!P lineup. All they need is Ichioka's new group (pls UFP).

H!P New Years 2018 Postcard for FC members


Hello! Project DVD MAGAZINE Vol.56 CM

[Ayaachan]

^Country Girls seniority makes the order look so strange! We have the younger members being above older members despite being from the same generation (Musubu (15) - Ayano (18) and Nanami (15) - Ruru (16)), Risa and Mai are in the middle of the groups all alone as if they are a duo or solo artists and then we have Manaka behind Tsubaki even though she debuted earlier and above Reina, Kurumi and Momohime that became full members before Manaka's comeback! 

[tadase]

The lineup is based on group's seniority order, wherever they are full-time members for. Chii, Funaki, and Nanami are now members of other groups (MM, A, and J=J) since CG has been reformatted to just a seasonal group, so they essentially move up the ranks because they're now lined up with their new groups.

 

Manakan is shown after all the groups because she became a solo artist this year and is the flagship act for the H!P KSS Hokkaido group, discrediting her time with CG (it's like a restart after her graduation?). That's why the three promoted KSS are the last ones.

 

But I wonder, isn't it ANGERME first before MM18 if we're basing it on group seniority, or is it because MM, in general, is a 20-year-old group? Yeah, it does look strange.

^
Morning Musume are first because they’re the flagship of Hello!Project. It was the 1st and 2nd gen members of Morning Musume who originally formed Hello!Project with Heike Michiyo back in July 1998. Even though Angerme have more seniority and Ayacho is the leader of Hello!Project, Morning Musume are the founding group regardless of seniority.

^

No C-ute had higher seniority after 6ki graduated and were named first. Because every C-ute member had higher seniority than the current MM members. 

This doesn't apply to Anju because the only one with higher seniority than everyone else in MM is Ayacho. Thus Anju will never have higher seniority than MM. J=J, KF, or TF might one day though.

Yeah exactly, it has nothing to do with the flagship thing. But honestly, back when Sayu was the only one with seniority over C-ute and Berryz they put MM ahead of them, now it's the same case with Ayacho and Anju, but they still prioritize MM. I guess they were just reluctant with Anju lol.

People who aren't in a group are always at the end, regardless of seniority. That's why Aika is listed after all the groups on the H!P website even though she debuted before literally everyone else.

[beyooooonk]

Sorry for the ignorant question- were Kurumi and Momohime officially announced to be debuting in Reina's group? Been out of the fandom for a little while I know they were part of the group that sang the Gobaku song, but is that the official unit or something? 

[YellowAccel]

No, they are in a theater group for now. As for the Gobaku song, it’s just the two KSS who got a « promotion» (Reina is a leader of a group, Kurumi and Momohime are in the theather group, Ruru joined Juice=Juice and Ayano joined Angerme)

[beyooooonk]

Ah I see. They're debuted Hello! Project members, but tentatively not in any idol performing group, and are focusing on theater stuff for now. Thanks!

[Obsidian]

My tactic of completely winging it worked and I managed to get tickets to the first two concerts. Really excited now and hoping for the usual exciting announcements and new songs.

[AngelAndz]

It has just been announced that Hello!Pro & Angerme Leader Wada Ayaka and Country Girls member Yamaki Risa will not be taking part in the 1st 2 days of the tour due to being ill with the flu:

Get well soon, Aarii

[Juandalyn]

Ah yeah, flu season. Hope they get well soon.

[core2quad]

oh no, Aarii and Yamakki also got the flu 

[Dani-chan]

I really hope they finally announce the members of Ichioka's group. It has been a painful wait...

[Kinjiru]

Looking forward to the concert in a few hours but nervous about any graduation announcements. About time they announced Reina's members though.

Also, I'll be hanging out in Nakano for the majority of the day if anyone wants to meet up.

[Obsidian]

I'm heading over around doors opening, fingers crossed for a good announcement.

[KumaixKamei]

Sato Masaki also has the flu and will sitt out today's concert...

 

Hello!Pro winter concerts always have to deal with the flu season

 

Edit:

Concert has begun, seems like quite some press is present.
