Following this announcement:

http://www.helloproj...com/news/15514/

Hashida Honoka
Murakoshi Ayana
Uemura Hasumi
Kawashima Mifu

will join Miyamoto Karin 2023 LIVE

Japanese underground fansite speculated about Yulia and Karin.

Title: Yuriya Matsubara and Karin Onoda, the end of the training program? Promotion?
 

http://colorhello.bl...1080880899.html

Fun or interesting comments:

9. If Matsubara and Onoda are promoted, it will be the death of Ken-UNI!
32. There is no way these two will stop.
43: I thought they were going to make a new group.
54: Congratulations on your promotion!
70: I'm sure it's related to school events.
100: There has never been a case where a person has been promoted to another group after being imprisoned in a unit, but we'll see what happens.

(translation by deepl)

Personnaly, i'm sure kenshuusei Unit '23 will form a new group, but it's funny to have a doubt here and there, because of an event
while we don't know all the details.

^ My wild speculation straight outta left-field? New Beyooooonds subunit or members from KSS Unit.

Yulia originally wanted to be a comedian, which fits the group's image. I don't know how much that desire has changed (probably a lot since she was like 9 at the time). What I do know is a lot of those Beyonds girls are in their early 20s and H!P seems reluctant to let groups die nowadays and lose all that delicious discography when older girls graduate. I also know H!P doesn't like to have a large roster of groups, and they already have 6 (8 if you count the Beyonds subunits individually).

MM:

3-4 new members announced in the spring

A proper grad single for Mizuki in the summer

Ayumi's announced to graduate early 2024

Angerme:

More solo activities for Moe

One of the other girls will get solo activities too; my bets are Layla or Yuki at this point

An audition happens

Juice=Juice:

Uemura graduation announcement

An audition happens

Tsubaki Factory:

2 singles this year

Kiki gets a very upbeat pop single at the end of the year

Yuumi is the new ace

Beyo:

Another stage play

Another commercial

Ocha Norma:

They get another gold certification for their next single

They get some sort of other push like commercial tie-in or stage play

KSS:

Goto Hana debuts, probably in J=J, or Tsubaki as a surprise addition after Kiki's grad

Mifu debuts, probably in MM or Angerme

The KSS Unit announces an audition for additional members

They do another stageplay

I wish Kanatomo joins M-Line.

Time to do a recap and see what happened!

You're not so bad, it's just that you are comparing yourself to Kumi-Nostra-chan-freaking-damus up there.

I forgot this thread exists I'm going to do the 2024 one!

You're not so bad, it's just that you are comparing yourself to Kumi-Nostra-chan-freaking-damus up there.

Checking mine and it's not too bad though I was really naive thinking we would get 2 singles for most groups, and no more grads. 

Let's do it this year too.
