I'll join this party too, hoping it has Danbara and Takase in it.

My hope is rising because short cuts always seem to signal good tidings with H!P

Wait....is Rin actually smiling?!

She's getting better, most of the time she doesn't smile or it looks forced.

Kotomi's back!

Wonder if they'll introduce a new Gen at the recital...

[maora]

Most likely. They had both a KSS auditioned and the second MM 13ki audition. I would be surprised if they don't add any new members.

[EtherSword]

I'm hoping they don't add more KSS till we get a lot of debuts with our current ones, they are all pretty talented as you can see from the video that was posted here earlier.

 

Unless we suppose to have a whole bunch of KSS or something.

[maora]

I mean, that's why they are getting new members. They like having at least around 20 members before they debut a new unit, to have a good pool of members before they select the lucky ones.

They currently have 17 members, 16 if we exclude Yoshida, and there might be a gem in the next gen of KSS. Personally, I hope they make 2 C-ute successor units, especially since "taking their time" has worked well with Tsubaki Factory, but idk if they'll do it. At least it's likely that they'll add some KSS to Country Girls since the audition never happened. :/

[EtherSword]

^Sure, just as long we get some debuts down the road, it just wouldn't feel right to pile on more KSS when we already have so many girls that are more than ready to debut lol.

 

Plus, another thing too, if girls are added before any debuts are made, I would hate to think the current ones would get the feeling of being shoved aside. Like they couldn't make their debut then so we are coming in with a fresh batch instead kind of thing. I mean, that is just simply a pessimistic view about it but I think there's a lot more going on behind the scenes than that, for the most part, our current KSS seems high-spirited, knowing their debut may come this year. But who knows for sure, I just hope more good comes from this than bad. I'll remain hopeful, the 2 members that I want to debut the most are Ichioka Reina and Takase Kurumi, those 2 I been following for a good awhile and that they are both rather "old" too so its a bit stressful to think if we get new KSS, it would feel like they would be replaced due to their age.

 

I'll remain hopeful though.  I don't think they will be overlooked this time. Every girl I been rooting hard for so far has made their debut, this will be the first time for me to be on the boat where my favorites don't get into a group (if that happens).

[Danes83]

INteresting.. While Icchan-Takase-Horie-Ayano still performed in JK Ninja Girls, the others will make their move.. I'm pretty curious about the next Recital show..

Current/former KSS status

Spoiler

Edit: includes newest additions

[MusubuDantotsu]

^ Thank you for the info grafic.

[Obsidian]

It looks like they've released the names of a new batch of KSS for the upcoming shows.

 

Yoshida Marie is also confirmed as finishing her training.

 

http://www.up-fc.jp/...fo.php?id=10065

 

There are 8 new names as far as I can see, but I'm sure at all about how to read all of them yet.

 

島倉りか、日比麻里那、江口紗耶、土居麗菜、岡村美波、松永里愛、山田苺、中山夏月姫

[Nayok-Kihara]

^ Excited to see another new batch of girls. Threads have been made with names to the best of my (limited) ability, I'll update the titles and first posts as soon as things are confirmed.

Edit: Readings confirmed on the Hello! Project site.

^Thanks for doing that, despite my earlier posts, I'm actually kind of excited what kind of new trainees we have now lol. I guess its time to follow new threads for whoever seems interesting lol.

[Obsidian]

There's a lot of potentially flawed detective work based on pretty much just the names.    The more solid identifications look sound but I'm still wary until we see them... we can't be 100% sure who they are.

[EtherSword]

True, but I know right away I'll follow any thread if a girl already has some sort of idol background. And for the others, depends on their background trivia/hobbies and see how they grow as a KSS, then I'll follow them then. I also wouldn't be surprise if I just follow every single one of them too lol.
