 All the least talented members left.

Hamaura's still in the group.

 

Here's some things I like about UFP;

• They appear to maintain pretty good work relationships with their idols, both current and graduated.
• They take good care of idols who go on hiatus due to illness or injury.
• They appear to care a lot about international fans.
• Music video quality has improved as of late!
• They hire some amazing composers and songwriters sometimes.

Now here's a giant list of things I hate;

• Their complete level of unwillingness to spend. It leads to cheap costumes and cheap MVs. (yes, they ARE improving, but I don't know how many more MVs that are close up shots and dance shots in a warehouse they rented for 40 minutes I can take.)
• The entire KSS system feels flawed to me but that's a whole other post I'll need to make.
• Everything happening with Ichioka, Momohime, Takase, and Manakan right now.
• They never promote idols in ways that would benefit them. Iikubo and Kaedii, for example, are both major otaku. They should be commenting on NND/YT streams for games and anime.
• The absolute biggest one; the way that they keep hammering Cool Hello on everyone. It leads to so many singles (especially for Momusu) having a garageband-sounding EDM track instead of like. Anything else. They never take advantage of the popularity of the musical stylings of anime idols and KPop in Japan right now and it's frustrating to hear the same song dressed up 4 different times.

Tsubaki Factory is like Berryz Koubou, but better.

Kobushi is more like Berryz Kobou. Members have good vocals, strong debut but decreasing or stagnating in popularity.

Tsubaki is C-ute. Weak debut, little to no support from company, line-up changes, improving in live performing gradually, gaining populairty.

From what I have seen on this forum it's mostly just Kobushi fans that keep making shady comments about Tsubaki.

KF had a strong start with KSS vets so naturally people liked them. When TF debuted people literally thought they were failures. Heck you can even check page one of this thread that shows me defending TF!

Watch how when Tsubaki does well suddenly you see people going "I always liked Tsubaki, they're so unique..." loool

Outfits !!!!!!

Reminds me of NG46

I worry that Airi basically starting at Budokan is a sign that she's going to go the normal way of former idol soloists and peak super early.

add to the fact that there lots of female solos, most in bigger companies than her.

dunno how strong her name is but i dunno how she competes and differentiates herself
