2013 Prediction Thread

[freezingkiss]

WOW. Comparing a woman to a piece of food. I hope there are decent feminism organisations over there, it sounds like they need it.

I do know that career suicide thing but I also think a lot of them don't want to make the transition to singers because of the whole 'get married before 30 or you're an old maid' bullshit that still goes on over there.

[/quote]



Transitioning to singers would actually allow them to get married and have kids. It's being idols that prevents them from doing that. Many Japanese female singers have gotten married without ever taking a pause in their career. Some even have kids, take a few months off, and get right back on tour.



The problem is that if you start as an idol it's very difficult to transition away from that. The large majority of the fanbase for all H!P groups is made up of wota, and just saying "oh we're graduating from being idols and are going to be ~*diva songstresses*~ now" doesn't change that. Women like Ayu and Koda Kumi have always been marketed as singers and have always had a huge female fanbase. We've seen lots of super talented ladies graduate from MM or H!P and just never get away from that same core fanbase. :/

I'm positively surprised by Star.

She seems a lot cooler than than the usual ~13 y'old fangirls we get.

[Pflaume]

Yes, I approve of her also. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP HER, PLEASE. We can hit her with newspaper if she poops the carpet, but I'm pretty sure she won't.

[Shoujo Q]

~(*u*)~



I want BeriKyuu to become a full time thing.



I want C-ute to finally come to America!



I want S/mileage not to suck anymore and finally release something worth listening too!



I want Morning Musume, after Reina leaves to devote an entire single to Sayumi and her play things. Have them all be little Sayumi clones and prepare for Sayu-bot revolution, the likes of which Japan has never seen before!!!



But I doubt I'll get any of those things. I'll more then likely get a new group made of K!Eggs or a new Soloist. Another graduation by the end of the year by someone I don't want to leave and perhaps if I've been a really good girl, Buono will release a single.

[yuzuriha]

I predict that it is revealed that Aika has been banging Tsunku since her audition and it is the scandal to end all scandals.

[star]

There's one thing I forgot to include in my list ... well possibly two things. Technically, they are more like hopes than predictions because they probably won't happen.



•In the 12th generation, there needs to be a girl from a foreign country. I liked having JunJun and LinLin in the group, and I would like to have more foreign members to cherish.



•I'd also like MoMusu to do more in western countries. I know they do some things, occasionally, in the surrounding countries, but they don't really do much on this side of the planet.

[/quote]



No sir, I don't like it. Only because Tsunku has three kids and is married, thus ruining his image and probably just about everything Tsunku related. Make it someone else in the company and you have yourself a prediction deal. Makoto's fair game, ever since he got that silly haircut he hasn't been the same since.

[yuzuriha]

Ok, we can change it to Makoto.

[andrewmarlin]

My predoctions/hopes



-MM Graduation, preferably Riho (has it been 4 years. She ends up having to graduate with Reina due to her voice. It finally flies away from all that screech

-Kamie Eri shows up at Reina's graduation concert and announces she will be the new solo in H!P

-DMM comes out of hiatus with possibly the pandas, Risa, and Aika as new members. (I assume the pandas aren't doing well n China. I never hear anything. Risa just because she is awesome like that. Aika, because I don't think she wanted to leave MM in the first place.) I was going to say Ai, but she is doing so well with plays and TV shows.

-Berryz Kobou gains popularity

-BUONO gets some attention and a new single

-C-ute continues what ever they do

-S/mieage dissappears randomly...

-Auditions for all H!P groups

-Reina's band is better than what everyone hinks

-MM comes west again



I think some of this is more hope and dream than actual reality

[YuuakuRisa]

-Sayu Grad announcement at the beginning of the Fall concert.



-12 Generation audition announcement in the spring



-Bouno single in late Spring



-Momusu goes cutesy for a single after Reina graduates(must make up for the lack of singing ability). Sells 60k-75k and Suzuki,Erina, Kudu and Masaki obtain major spotlight in this single.

-Multiple B-sides



-Sayu becomes the face of the group and does a major promotion of some sort.



-Momusu stage play with a friendship theme.



-C-ute does an upbeat song



-Berryz does a ballad



-S/milage surprises all of us with major improvement over 2013.



-Haruna goes brown.



-Ayumi gets her first official solo photo book.



-Reina's band debut single sells 15k-20k



-New eggs introduced.



-New group introduced.



-Momusu 14th album( the second coming of 4th Ikimasshoi!)



-Sayu sexy mature photobook

He has also been married for a number of years and (I think) has a kid or two as well. Pretty sure Hatake is still a bachelor cause he's too much of a rock star to get married. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />

Damn, when kids are involved, then I feel bad. But that haircut of his, it's not natural. As for Hatake, his blond flowing locks haven't changed in probably 20 years. I think he went past rock star into Rolling Stone territory. You didn't mention Taisei. He seems like a pervy creeper, is he married?

[Solarblade]

-A new H!P group... (because everyone is expecting it)



-Buono! to call it quits (I think the three are noticing they are kind of on a time limit now for Berryz/C-ute to disband so I think they will stop performing as Buono! to pay more attention



-Asahi and Yuka become H!P members (solo acts hopefully...though if they add Tomoko to the mix (I could see a trio of different winners).



-Kanon and Haruka gets a push (this is more of a hope, but I wanna see them lead it up soon)



-12th Gen announced some time after Reina leaves without an audition process (Strange, but after Reina leaves, Tsunku is going to be looking immediately for another voice to lead besides Riho and Sakrua)



-Berryz pulls a C-ute and releases something like that Shin Seinaru album



-New Egg unit (so many new girls...I wouldn't be surprised if this happens either)



-Kamei finally does something noteworthy >.>

HAHAHA This is brilliant. I also think BerryCute are on a time limit. It's weird that Berryz has gone without a grad for so long, but they are so awesome argh they are the LAST H!P group I want any changes to.

[MiniLovely]

So, maybe not this year, possibly not even until after she (inevitably. Yes.) graduates, but sometime. SOMETIME... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />

...Sayu haircut.

Short-short.

[Madara]

Not a prediction, but a wish:



New shuffle units, please, complete with PVs and concert performances. The new girls need more to do.

Yeah, I don't think it will be this year but I think she's gonna chop it all off after her grad and it's going to be super cute. Kinda like Kaori <3 except Kaori at least dyed her hair during her time in MoMusu.



Oh man I totally don't want this at all but can you imagine BLONDE Sayu?

[Anderei]

Haruna said not too long ago she won't dye it until she's 20.

[yuzuriha]

Good, I hate when they dye their gorgeous hair.

[mrsross]

My predictions:

• Risako graduates
• Airi graduates
• Aika continues to do nothing
• We'll get another H!P show
• Auditions for Morning Musume & S/mileage
• Momoko continues to annoy everybody
• Everyone will hate Sakura for being in the front, like Riho
• Haruka will continue to be shafted in singles
• Everyone will still complain about line distribution
• New Egg group (Karin's not in it)
• Up Up Girls join H!P
• Karin goes to a 48 group
• Cuca auditions for 12th gen, she doesn't pass

[NekoKaiSai]

-Sayumi either leaves or announces her graduation towards the end of the year. (Sorry, aine.)

-Aika raps.

-Reina's band does well.

-At least an entire year without more auditions.

-°C-ute "world" tour will be announced for after Mai turns 18.

When you ban the others, just remember, I meant that the twist was someone else was next to go before Sayu and she would have a bigger vocal role in the group. As in, they're keeping her around. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />



[quote name='Pucchi mo' timestamp='1356490030' post='140210']They will announce that a current member of MM is leaving, and this will happen before Sayumi leaves. (I mean other than Reina, of course)

Sayumi will take on a bigger role vocally and she will sound surprisingly different. (In a good way, and without the robo-filters)

[/quote]



~ASS OFFICIALLY COVERED~



Also, I predict that another OG group is formed, but not just a Yossi & Rika group, that's too easy, it will probably happen anyway.

Dream Musume, I don't even know if they'll bother with it... Maybe one single or they'll promote something again. Nacchi continues to be a Thug.
