Hey, if Risa was right, some of them are thinking about leaving. What for, who knows, I don’t expect to see anything amazing from any former Factory members but I don’t expect every last one to stay until they’re too old. I don’t think they’ll disband. They’ll just add new members. I think Kobushi d...

They’re saving them all for MM so they can stick around for 20 years and never leave.

Will we really get a new group when Covid brought 2020 to a screeching halt and the last new group has released a whopping one single? I think it’s far more likely they’re getting ready to pad JJ (and maybe Tsubaki, it’s been 5 years and they’re all 18+). Karin is leaving, Tomoko is 25 and they’ve g...

Doesn’t he just write whatever type of song UFP requests? I could have sworn that’s how it works. Plus, even though they bring new writers, the arrangers are still mostly the same handful of people and they play a huge role in how a song turns out.

I would say that H!P has always attracted fewer part time idols than just about every other group. It basically feels like a rich girls club for people that don’t need to go to college. Other groups/companies have WAY more members leaving to fully retire/focus on school. I still think that if you’re...

2007? That’s not cool.


They’re all cute but eh, I don’t know. The group I fell in love with is just so far gone. But 2nd gen sucked when they first joined and just based on looks I definitely like these three more than the last couple of gens so who knows.

I think we’ll get two new girls max. I haven’t felt the last like, three additions though so I have very little expectations.

Only 6 weeks huh? Pretty short time for a single these days. Most are 8-12 weeks now since I guess it boosts sales.


I like the color theme in the second photo even if I only really like maybe two or three outfits.

I wonder why Asuza is staying. It’s weird that everyone is leaving except for one person. Maybe she plans to just retire for good after UUG?

Oh, fun. I’ve played it but it will be cool for it to be finally be localized.


Now where are our Genealogy, Thracia and Binding Blade localizations?

Does she really do a lot of commercials? Just based on what I’ve seen, she doesn’t really seem to get much more work than the average graduate.


That said I can’t really picture Ai or Reina doing a Clinique commercial. Reina especially does not really fit the Clinique image lol.

Dawa made it to the Forbes Japan "30 under 30" list for 2020.

Nah, you can do the DLC in the middle of any of the routes as long as you do it before time skip I think (haven’t done it yet).

I actually cannot see the color in that photo at all, I just remember seeing the shoot a few (couple? I have no idea.) weeks ago and thinking it was so lame and could’ve been so much more stylish.

I saw the preview photos of this and I feel like the hairstyling ruins it. It’s unusually glam for them and then you get the regular idol hair.

Ranked 58 with 969 copies sold for the first week.

I don’t think Oota is really that popular that they’re trying to avoid making her fans angry. I think it’s just H!P being nice. Have they ever just straight fired anyone for a first time offense?

Someone on twitter says she’s returning as a trainee, I don’t know if it’s explicitly stated or implied. But we know they’re not bringing her back as a soloist so Kenshuusei seems like the only logical spot.


But, now she’s about to be 17, which makes her chances of (re-)debut much lower.

Oota Haruka is returning to H!P, but she is no longer an Angerme member.
