I can see this group going either way with a sweet image or a cool image. It would be nice if the group had a sweet image since we’ve lost a group like that since Country Girls disbanded, but it would also be nice if they did some songs Kobushi style. Either way I’m very excited for the new group!

I think for now, the new unit will just be the KSS unit girls, and then after the Tsubaki/J=J auditions are over, we'll get our final lineup. Needless to say, I am SO excited that Kirara and Kanami are finally debuting. It's about time!

I'm thinking 8 to 10 girls is the norm for H!P groups.

Sooooo, mark your calendars, May 3rd is this year's Shindan Test.

Along with the auditions, we could see maybe 5 or 6 more KSS debut.

for the concept i hope they try something new (well new for h!p) and go for something kinda kpop like? or at least like a weird blend of h!p and kpop styles. i mean niziu is extremely popular in japan rn and they're basically just a japanese kpop group, so i'd like to see this new group go for more of a kpop like style. or just something new in general i guess? it's hard to explain what i'm thinking but i feel like, while beyooooonds has their super chaotic theater concept that's also kind of like h!p at the max, i feel like this new group should swing in the complete opposite direction and do something more mainstream or kpop like, while also retaining h!p's usual styles. if that makes sense lol

Part of an article summary (by A @ Jplop) about the recital. This is just the last section about the announcements, the full summary can be seen in the 2021 recitals thread (here).

 

At the end of the live, the leader of Hello! Project, Fukumura Mizuki (Morning Musume. '21) made a surprise appearance, causing the trainees and the audience to gasp in surprise. Fukumura made three announcements about the Hello Pro Kenshuusei. She told the surprised Kenshuusei that a new Hello! Project group would be formed by the end of this year, and that four members of the Kenshuusei unit had been chosen to be members of the new group. The audience applauded loudly when they were told that the trainees outside the unit would also have opportunities to join the new group depending on their hard work. The formation of the new group will be decided by the end of this year. They also announced that there would be a solo performance by the Hello Pro Kenshuusei at Nakano Sun Plaza Hall in Tokyo on April 17th, and that the annual event "Spring Ability Test" would be held on May 3rd, where each trainee would give a solo performance.
 
Fukumura told the audience "I'm so happy to be able to announce to all of you that we're going to have a new group, even though it's getting difficult for us to hold concerts."
 
She told the trainees, "So many people have come to support you so that you can debut. I'm so happy to be able to announce your debut". After that, all 19 Kenshuusei members sang an original ballad number "Mirai e Tsunagu Yakusoku". The curtain came down on the performance as warm applause echoed throughout the venue.
 
Translations of comments (also A @ Jplop) from the Hello Pro Kenshuusei Unit members.
 
Yonemura Kirara: I'm very happy because the four of us have been working hard together for a long time!
We'll do our best to improve our skills even more so that we can make our debut!
 
Ishiguri KanamiWe'll do our best to further improve as a group by adding new members to the four of us! We'll make it a great year!
 
Kubota NanamiThis is the starting point for us, so I will absorb a lot of things and do my best to make a wonderful group.
 
Saito MadokaI'm happy to be in a new group with three people who have supported me all these years, and to be at the starting line with new members!

I can't imagine an H!P K-Pop group making ANY headway against Niziu... For one thing, it would look like (and be) just trying to jump on somebody else's surfboard to catch their wave. For another thing, I don't think H!P has that set of brains in their rolodex.

I don't follow KSS, so I have no idea what these 4 are especially good at, but I'd say that what H!P is missing is either something more like Kobushi was at their end (gutsy) or more like C-ute was at their end (precisely unified). Ange has some guts-flavor, but the history is so long and there's so much going on that the group doesn't make that impression so much as it's a thing they can do within their shows. MoMusu's formation dance works, on the whole, because they redirect your attention from here to there as different people do different things, vs. taking in the whole group and having them all being together...

But that might just be wishful thinking about stuff I personally like :ph34r:
What I've learned about Japanese so far, is that you must first pay attention to these 2 things: Rule #1 and Context. After that, just pray they remember their high-school English class.

Congrats to the girls!!!

But oooo I'm interested to see what their "theme" is going to be. 

 

I have a feeling it's going to be a mix of Kobushi and Country girls. 

Strength and power from Kobushi and cute and retro? from Country Girls

I'm really glad that they are finally debuting this group!

Kirara in particular has been my favorite KSS since BEYOOOOONDS was formed.

I had already bought tickets to her event in Nagoya next week, before this news broke. I'm even more excited for the event now, knowing she will be debuting!

 

I felt this news was going to be announced soon, and likely at the KSS recital in Tokyo, which is what was done for the original BEYOOOOONDS members before the other 3 were added as well.

Up Front has been pushing this KSS unit really hard, and trying to get them as much exposure as possible before their debut announcement. They were at the latest TIF on two different stages, and also performed at what seemed like almost every HelloCon in the past half year.

 

Like some others here are speculating, I doubt they are debuting with only these 4 members. I think they might add a few more KSS (at least Ebata and Hirayama are my guesses). They might add in some new people that are auditioning for Juice and Tsubaki too. They could fail them in the audition, then get added to KSS, then immediately added to the debuting KSS group.

 

BTW... the debuting KSS group has my favorite "円陣", which is where they huddle in a circle and do a chant before each live. The "pofu pofu" chant from the new group always cracks me up :lol: I hope they keep it!

Here's a streamable I made of their 円陣 from one of the Harodori episodes, for those that don't remember or haven't seen it:

https://streamable.com/j10ny7

 

EDIT:

I forgot, this thread needs some videos!

Here's their performance from last year's TIF at Smile Garden:

 

 

and from the Sky Stage:

 

 

also, of their song "Mistake" at a H!P concert:

That’s possible! They have covered a few Kobushi songs, almost more than any other group I think! And they’ve covered Tanpopo too, so I can see them doing a mix of Kobushi and Country, though mostly Kobushi. They don’t really cover a lot of cutesy songs, mostly high energy songs with some attitude like Kobushi.

@zeroyon: their chant is really ridiculous and adorable, and I hope they keep it up too!

Can’t week to see what Hello!Pro Dream is going to be like for the next few months. I have a feeling Nakayama is up for debut because they seem to push her a lot on the show.

I enjoy the fact they're getting to debut, but seems funny they're waiting to add more members, in my head I was like you had a full year whatcha waiting for? XD

 

Anyways, I'm curious to what is going to happen to the Hokkaido sector as Ishiguri was the only active member...

I have a bad feeling this is going to be like those Beyoooonds members who had to wait a super long time after they were "announced" to have an actual debut. I think they're being put into a holding pattern so they don't leave until they figure out exactly what they want to do with their group. I mean, I'm happy they will debut, but I bet it doesn't actually happen until 2022.

Since they said they'll debut within this year that's exactly what they meant. Which is rather quick in comparison to Beyonks and Tsubaki isn't it?

 

 

I'd think they wanted to wait for the JJ/Anju audition to see what potential members they'd get from it and also which KKS on the other hand should go in which of the 3 potential groups at this point. At the end of the day all 3 groups want to make sure they will come out of this with the best line-up possible?

Congrats to all of the girls!! This is fantastic news considering how I've liked Kirara and Kanami since the beginning! It's been a long time coming for them both. I hope they end up adding 3 new members and we get a nice rounded 7 member lineup. I wonder if they are waiting to recruit girls from the J=J/Tsubaki audition, or if they have current KSS in mind. I can't wait to see what happens!

I was just watching Hello!Dream and last year's KSS test and realised that I never really noticed Miku before! She kind of reminds me of a happier young Risako somehow. ^-^
