Well I watched the digest and found Kaede. She's alright although I don't see anything special about her; though admittedly this could be because I'm really sore about them not choosing Ruru. I also like Takase Kurumi and would've been happy to see her chosen. I don't mind the ages much. Yes, 17 see...

Wtf?! Why pass over Ruru AGAIN and pick someone whose been there 3 fucking months?! Have we even heard her sing before? Does anyone have clips of Kaede and Reina singing? Man I'm really pissed off right now.

Hi, Arco! It's good to see another east coaster up in the middle of the night waiting. ????

I doubt they'd have announced the new members at the start of the concert. Then again, I have no idea how far into a concert they announced previous generations either. My fingers are crossed for Ruru even though she deserves better!

I'm right here with ya, Derby. It's 4am here but I'm awake and waiting.

So my stubborn (determined?) ass decided that I'm doing this anyway. I spent hours writing and then typing out all the code by hand so this had better work. I made a few tweaks of my own. As you can see from my rankings, I'm going to go through some serious idol heartbreak in 2017. Love - Like a Lot...

Fingers crossed for good singers!

:( That really sucks. Unfortunately I only have internet access on my mobile. I guess I'll have to post my ranking as a plain list. Thank you for checking though, Thea!

How are you guys doing color text? I'm on the mobile version which doesn't have any formatting options but even when I switched to the full version of the site, the only extra option is to attach an image. There's no bar with options to change don't size or style or anything like that.

Guyyyyyyys, quit predicting Masaki graduates!!!! ???? I hate you all right now


I'll post my own predictions probably later today

Oh... I think I may have confused which poll this was then ???? I've never had an H!O account and never needed one to vote in the election I'm thinking of. My mistake.

Well unfortunately I can't vote this year despite voting all previous years because you have to be a hello!online member with an account made before November 12th ????

I just pray it's not Masaki. I don't want Ayumi to go yet either but definitely not Maachan.


4 new members seems excessive with how little any of the current members do but that's H!P for you.

???????????????????? My Sayu!!!! I'm so happy she'll be returning!

Holy crap. I absolutely loved everything about that; from the singing to the PV to the actual message of the lyrics.

Honestly, this makes me angry. They already held the 13th gen audition once with no winners and then they hold it again only to pick from their own girls anyway? Way to make sure that nobody will bother to try for 14th gen because it's clearly a waste of time. Frankly, this feels like a waste of tim...

Kago Ai announced the sex of her 2nd baby that's due this spring! I'll let ya'll look and find out for yourselves.

Honestly, the only members I care about at all are Maa, Ayumi, and Fuku. Losing Sakura's voice would be sad for the group but I never got attached to her as an idol/person honestly. In terms of voice and personality though I really only have Masaki left who I actually care about even though they don...

Oh my goodness, is that really Noa?

Honestly, not releasing audition footage during the course of auditions is a bad idea in my opinion. I don't know about anyone else but watching the auditions proceed and being able to spot girls to root for is what made me actually care for a generation, especially footage from training camp. Being...

My exact words when I saw that picture.

She's killing me. I NEED to know what her comeback is.

They REALLY need to stop with the white and silver outfits. They got old long ago and do nothing for the girls.

Ouch, they took Kobushi and Country Girls over MM.

God that was so painfully awkward and embarrassing. Honestly, I think with the exception of one single, I really haven't been interested in anything from MM since MM'14. The loss of Sayumi and addition of 12th gen had an immense effect on the quality of the group in my opinion. C-ute and ANGERME are...

I agree that's it's not a C-ute song. They deserve much better and I hope the other two songs are much better than this one and with good MVs

I'm quite sure they would've said if it was the last one

A very rare miss for me I think. Idk, maybe it'll grow on me but I found it seriously lacking. I hope the other songs will be much better.

According to this, she's 45
