Rumour has it her nickname's going to be "Abebe", which IMO is really bad because it will just remind everyone of the reason why Nono had to quit the group in the first place. =P

Asami has been in the industry for quite a long time, watching her in utaban back than~ but she pops up mostly in variety shows these days... So I wonder how she'll do in this group as its been pretty long time since she sing again.
---But actually there was a rumour before that Konno is going to join the group... but thats rumour as it turns out -.-

This is good news. I'm glad to hear that the group isn't going to be on too much/long of a hold.
With Nono having one of my favorite singing voices, I would have most definitely preferred Tsuji to have the position (no offense towards Abe Asami). Even yet, I'm thankful to see that Gyaruru's existence still has hope. That anticipation for their debut is back.

damnitao ~ If Tsuji came back, it likely wouldn't be for another year. Who knows if Gyaruru will last that long, and if she'd even be involved in the same projects.
WinterAir ~ Ogawa is still considered part of H!P. She's just busy with her studies right now, it seems. :)
JFC ~ Hahaha, maybe here. But in Japanese the English word baby is written out "beibe" so hopefully it won't draw too many comparisons. Though yes, her confirmed nickname is indeed Abebe.

Ok, I have a question for those that are more informed than I. Why is Sone in the group? Not to hate on her but as far as I can find she has no musical training or talent what so ever. Other than being a popular figure in a sport that has had some black eyes in Japan, she has no appeal as a performer that I can find.

In response to WyldKat: Gal Sone is a very prominent 'Gyaru' figure in Japan. Her name is really Natsuko I believe however she is known as 'Gal' because she is a Gyaru. She has also sung on karaoke shows before so she isn't entirely new to public singing. I think though that the main reason is her Gyaru ties.

I don't think the Gyaru image suits her that well. Maybe with some lighter hair... or maybe it's just me XD But still! I'm happy the group didn't break up because I'm really looking forward to seeing and hearing more of them.
aaaaand Abebe is a cute nickname :3

wait .. about their single ... so, Tsunku "delete" Nono's voice and add Asami's voice into the single ?? or they just re-record it ?? The pics confuse me .....

Thanks for the quick response Rino. I still can't help but feel her presence is just a gimmick. On at least one of her karaoke shows she was power eating sushi (I think) between lyrics. That shows me that both her and the fans know that's her thing, not singing. I hope I'm wrong, I'd feel sorry for her if I'm not. I listened to the fan recording of BOOM BOOM Mecha Machyo and I couldn't hear her voice at all.

@baka_nikore: It looks like you're right. Everything is the same, right down to the glasses and ear rings. I'll admit that I liked the way Tsuji filled the dress out better though. ;)

It's nice to know the group will still see the light of day, but I'm finding myself less excited than I was about it now that Tsuji is no longer in it. Wouldn't it be great if the version of the song with Tsuji was included as a c/w or something? I know we have that poor quality preview, but I really want to hear the real thing. I love Tsuji's voice and it seems such a waste to just leave her version completely unreleased.

A few people have said that they only have the bad quality live preview but there is a radio rip too which is pretty good quality: Gyaruru - Boom Boom Meccha Maccho (radio rip): http://www.sendspace.com/file/yp1wve thanks to ~Dan~ at the JpopMusic forums :)

That actually would've been interesting! But ohwell, Abe Asami is good too... I guess. I would've liked to see Tsuji at least in Boom Boom meccha macchos Pv (if there's going to even be such a thing) and Tsunku should've changed Abe junior's (:DDD) outfit.
The group seems more mature now, but still I love Nono the best.

Asachan? Why not... But the song style may change a little for Gyaruru, even if she is experimented. But this is not because nono's future change, that she never come again in showbizz... So, well, just wait for hearing how it will turn...

How gaudy, it's not that hard to get her a new costume u.u Oh well, the first group picture seems bare to me. O.o I guess it's cuz Tsuji was a bit bigger and filled more space...? oh well. how dissapointing u.u (for me, sorry if I offend anyone)
