They could always come to Canada instead. 

This twitter has some radio previews of the We Are Leaders song
 
It kind of reminds me of JKM.

It's really great hearing One Two Three without the heavy autotune.

I think I like them better as 5 than 8.

Momoka is graduating after their concert on the 21 this month.
 
I'm surprised because it's so soon.

There were China48 groups who had their own thread on H!O, but once China48 became independent from the AKB franchise, the admins (Krusha and Amoz) locked the thread. Then a month or so ago someone opened a new thread for them but it was instantly blocked because it "broke H!O's rules" so ...

Congrats to her! Also, I love the dyed hair on her. 

I hope she has a quick recovery. She hasn't been very lucky during the summer/winter concerts.

[quote="Madara"]  but I’m really upset that neither Mukidashi de Mukiatte and Sexy Cat no Enzetsu are on this. They would have turned a lackluster album into at least a good one. [/quote]   They weren't selected because this is a MM '17 album. Not MM '16. Plus, they don't even include 3 of...

I'm glad to see she's doing well. I feel kinda bad for that guy getting bombarded with Riho comments on the posts though.

On Airi's instagram she posted a video of her recording. So she probably is next.

Not sure how long it will stay up but here's the original 5 singing Ai no Tane on FNS.

I wonder if the girls know who leaked all these photos. Hirose must know who took the pictures at least if she remember who sat in that spot when hanging out. 

I wonder when Wada's photos will drop.


Honestly this whole thing sounds like someone close to all of them hates them. This poor group.

Guess what group has yet another member photographed with a boy?

For those interested AmebaTv put up the final audition on their youtube channel.
 
I kind of understand why none of them made it. I wasn't impressed really by anyones performance.

No surprise at all here. I wonder if Kobushi will get new members at the beginning of the year, and if they do, I hope its Yuhane.  

They could also be trying to make up for the fact that 12th gen didn't get an album for over 3 years.

Why do they even do auditions at this point if they never want anyone. They might as well just do KSS auditions.

Teion Yakedo smart phone version. 

I feel like having two months left is too early to make any bold predictions, so I'm just going to make my standard ones now:   -Iikubo Haruna graduates -Katsuta Rina graduates - All groups actually release music in the second half of the year -Kobushi gets members from the 2018 new member addition ...

Poor Kobushi. I wonder how the other 5 are taking this.
 
I feel like if they don't kick her out (or put her on ""hiatus"") before the end of the month they're going to keep her around.

I really liked the Romance no Tochuu performance! It was great that they split up all the lines in the second half of the song for the rest of the members. It really shows how much Yuka and Akari have improved since it first came out as well.

She is still subleader, she just wasn't made subleader until Mizuki was leader.

Wishful thinking: Iikubo

Realistic guess: Masaki

I feel like once Haruka is gone Masaki won't enjoy MM as much, I also took her back injury into account.

I can see them just playing it off as "She isn't coming back from her hiatus due to health reasons".


But one things for sure, Kobushi is definitely going to get some of those new H!P audition winners.

Oh my god this is actually so exciting. I love those 3 but I could never get into CG as much as I tried.


I have a feeling it's going to be a new group though, because I don't really know where all these girls are going to be added without overflowing the current groups.
