Now that the members have doubled, we're merely waiting for their name announcement, member color assignments and some news about a debut single.

My suggestion would be to pin a KSS Unit thread in this sub-forum and keep the individual threads where they are until all of the above occur, then start a new sub-forum and move the group's thread as well as the individual girls' threads to it.

^ Maybe they're really adding another member(s)? Because of this management is holding back his group informations

[cunning]

I don't think they're holding back anything really, it's possible these details haven't been worked out yet. The rollout for Beyooooonds was pretty slow

[ItsudemoAibon]

I can't believe I missed this.

[patapataful]

She's so pretty and lovely. I love her smile and eyes  

[ItsudemoAibon]

Yeah, she has that "it" factor. She's a future star.

Yes, she definitely has that "it" factor, I agree! Although... it's unfortunate to me that her "it" factor doesn't come across (at least for me) as well as it probably could on the screen, but it definitely does in person.

This comment might sound like it's kinda out of nowhere, but I just want to mention how Kirara is the "eye contact queen" in H!P. I don't think many foreign fans know that about her. There's some members in H!P that will just stare off into a space with no people (or only at the cameras) during MCs or songs, members that will make the occasional eye contact with fans, and then there's Kirara. She almost constantly stares into the eyes of fans in the crowd, often even when she is in the middle of a conversation with other members on stage with her At the monthly KSS events in Nagoya that I go to, I have caught her many times staring at me for over 10 seconds or so, with a big smile on her face. I've had to look away since it was creeping me out, although she is my oshi. I think she's super cute (some others think she's scary), but it is a bit jarring to see those big eyes staring into your soul for long I've noticed her doing that many times to many other fans too, it's not just to me of course.

Kirara's singing still needs work, but her dancing & expressions have improved greatly, and she often has a lot of confidence & charisma on stage. She gives off that sort of "aura" during her performances, especially when viewed live, IMO.
Ichika-chan also agrees that she gives off an aura Kirara was the only one she said that for (giving off an aura) during her KSS Unit & KSS interview series


It's really too bad that Up-Front are ending those monthly KSS events in Nagoya at the end of Dec 2021. They are mainly what has shot Kirara to the top of my H!P member ranking. She's usually in all of them (often as the MC leading the event), and she shows a ton of personality in those events. It's too bad that Up-Front never records those events in Nagoya... I wish other people here could see them as well Met-kun writes really detailed reports on most of them for those that are curious though.

EDIT: Also I forgot to to mention that I like this "Captian Rino" game they did with the KSS Unit on the Omake channel:

I especially like this part:

She's sometimes a bit goofy and clumsy like that, but especially at those KSS events

i'm glad we all agree kirara is a future h!p it girl haha. she totally has the it factor, i'm indescribably excited for her debut

[zeroyon]

Thanks! I'm glad you agree! 

 

I think the thread needs a few more Kirara pics, so I'm gonna post a few of my fave (semi-recent) action shots of her:

 

Also, concerning the video that ItsudemoAibon posted above, this picture was taken by her manager, immediately after she stopped recording:

Kirara was quite nervous to sing a capella like that, so she collapsed onto the sofa in front of her after the video ended

[patapataful]

thanks @zeroyon I really hope they can debut as group fully next year and Kirara can shine more and more  

[ItsudemoAibon]

Then there's her five year love affair with Ami Tanimoto.....

She did a great job on this!

[Nayok-Kihara]

She really did, I don't think it's an easy song to solo.

[Nayok-Kihara]

Kirara was first up for a new "Harodori" corner where Kenshuusei can nominate a senior to perform a song with them. The long version went up on the OCHA NORMA YT channel, and a 1-angle version should be (or will be, I haven't checked) on the TV Tokyo YT channel.

Red really suits her well.

[ItsudemoAibon]

Evidently the Ami/Kirara love affair mostly Ami crushing on Kirara......and MaeKoko evidently does too. But Kirara actually prefers Miyo, falling in love with her after watching "Alice in Wonderland."
