The introduction of the new members was cute! A little awkward of course, but you can tell they'll fit in well.

Idk what is it, but the additions to KSS have been getting slimmer and weaker every time. Don't know if it's because of Covid or less girls deciding to apply in general but it's happening.

 

I've always been very "pro KSS" because of how I think the program can be unfair to the girls, the uncertainty and the no deadline given to be hired must be extremely stressful, regardless of how unusual a trainee program it might be.

 

But with this kinda rate being the norm for additions, they'll have to start picking people fresh off the streets more and more (ofc, many also will come with experience from small groups with very little popularity).

En, I would've liked 4 additions but I'm not really worried about the smaller number. I expected a slightly slimmer period after this last decent sized batch of debuts, and they'll likely add more from the current Musume x Juice audition in a few months.

^Thank you for sharing!

Any news about the Shindan test yet??

Nothing just yet, but they don't usually start announcing things until we're a little closer to May. Maybe by the end of the month.

^ thanks as always! I'm looking forward to finding out their song selections next week!

Same here. I don't even think I have any guesses this year, even for the assigned songs. Though I hope Yulia picks something just a little less odd to sing solo. And sorry about getting behind on the links a few weeks ago!

The narrator of "Harodori" has tested positive for COVID and will be isolating at home for a period of time. As a result the voice we hear may be different for a few episodes..

^ thanks for sharing that news. Narration isn't one of the roles you pay attention to, until there's a change. I definitely would have been wondering what happened. Hopefully they're ok
