mashaki

She looks so cool! Loving it!

Ever since they both cut their hair, Kassa and PeiPei look so much alike, I've seen some Angerme posters and thought "when did Kassa visit?"

^ hope you and your mom are okay

Morning Musume '23 takes the top spot for the first time since 2016, congrats to the winner, you're officially joining next year's hall of fame!

 

Juice=Juice released only one single this year, but you guys liked it so much, both songs are in the top 10. On the other hand, neither Beyooooonds nor Ocha reached the top 10, hopefully they can do better in 2024.

Btw, side note, while I was adding up scores, it was pretty obvious that MM was going to win, but oh boy I did not expect the bloodbath for 2nd place, Tsubaki and Angerme kept overlapping each other the whole time, it really was so close.

 

Thanks to everyone that participated, see you again in December!

 

Random Trivia:

 

Being 80% wrong on last years speculations, I'm ready to do it all over again hahaha

 

 

Morning Musume:

 

2 singles this year (Feb and Oct)

Just one more person will graduate/announce their grad before Erina does

There's a chance we might get a new member from the current audition

If that doesn't happen, auditions will start in the summer and the 18th gen will debut at the end of the year (maybe even January 2025)

 

Angerme:

 

1 Triple A single release this year (May/June)

Goto finally returns after her break

Rikako gets Yokohama Arena grad venue

Another graduation gets announced at the end of the year

Commercial Campaign tie in (not just Moe again)

 

Juice=Juice:

 

Akari picks Are Kore Shitai or Hajimete no Keiken Chuu as her grad song

2 singles this year (March/April and November)

Rei doesn't become subleader, announces grad for 2025

Possible 2 new members from the ongoing audition

 

Tsubaki Factory:

 

No grads this year

After the album, they'll get one single in September

They continue using the same producer that made Machigai Ja Nai for at least one more song

Some sort of bigger event/concert for their 10th year of being formed

Ami grabs more butts

They actually could get 1/2 new members from the current audition

 

Beyooooonds:

 

Reina comes back (pls!)

They finally get more attention from UFP this year, instead of just one single (but they could get one single and an album)

Miimii has another DJ-ing gig

 

Ocha Norma:

 

They'll get some heavier promotion until the summer when UFP switches their focus to the new kenshuusei group

Most of the hinafest solo/duo/triple/group pulls will be from them

They go to an overseas festival

 

KSS Group:

 

They get 2/3 new members from this audition

I really can't guess what concept they'll give them, so I'll just guess the Buono like rock and cute is coming with them

Activities start in April officially, but they get one indies song before they get the major debut later in the year

Uemura Hasumi is finally revealed to be Akari's younger sister

 

KSS:

 

This audition gives us over 10 girls

HKSS and a Kansai KSS get rebooted

(this one's the impossible one) Sakuraba Haruka from Produce 101 joins H!P as a KSS

Niina wins the Happyokai
