Hello! Pro Kenshuusei get active!

[roddyreta]

Tanabe Nanami definitely deserved to win. Hope to see her in a major group soon.



Wada Sakurako was just okay. Kind of surprised she won the judges' award, although I agree she looked great in the video.



I thought Rikako did surprisingly well. I really hope she goes into Momusu, although she seems to think highly of S/Mileage. 3rd generation perhaps?

[rob]

This is one of the things I like about H!P, figuring out graduations and auditions. It's cool that we get to see previews from the Keggs nowadays.



As for MM, I think we'll see two new members, both of whom will fill the cute but ultimately background girl types.



S/mileage, I can't see any new members unless DAWA or Kanyon leave and I REAAALLYYY can't see either of them leaving yet. They chose their paths and to quit now would be crazy bad.



Berryz, You know... The only thing I see in Berryz's future is the end of the group. I feel like the group has naturally reached it's end and is currently in the process of a slow death.



C-ute, will remain completely untouched for the foreseeable future, overseas concerts and Nippon Budoukan.... if it isn't broke, don't fix it!



J=J, only if someone leaves, maybe Yuka or Akari?



Soloist, Since Mano is gone we don't have a H!P soloist... which is kinda weird, we always kinda had a soloist around, Michiyo Heike, Maeda Yuki, Matsuura Aya, Fujimoto Miki, does Kikka count?



So if any Keggs make a move to a group, the only one I can realistically see is to MM

[al kusanagi]

Asahi Tasaki is the new HP soloist, and she's freaking awesome.

[momoirosaya]

Asahi is just UFA, not an official part of H!P, but she might as well be.

I don't think she is a part of H!P though?



Similar to how Kikka isn't right?

[al kusanagi]

She's performing with HP, so I'm counting her.



Hell, she better be. She's the best soloist they've had since Ayaya.

Manaka and Karen are absolutely adorable. I kind of love them already. I don't care who gets in MM, but just throwing out interest in seeing where those two end up.

[/quote]



100% agree althought Karen creeps me out, she looks soo much like a girl I went to high school with <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' /> She beautiful don't get me wrong but the resemblance!



I love Karen's smile, it's so sincere and natural. I like Manaka hair's, I hope she doesn't cut it. I want to see Karen in MM and Manaka in J=J.

[Anderei]

Karen looks like some other idol, but I can't think of who. Are there any 48 members who look kind of like her? I think it's one of them that I'm thinking of.

The half Japanese half Italian American one? I'm not sure if she was in AKB48 or one of the sister groups. I think I know who you're talking about. I think she graduated a few years ago...



This Girl?

[Anderei]

Nah, I know who Oku is, but she's not who I'm thinking of

Manaka is cute, but I like Rio most out of those girls, I think. Mashiro Kana is cute too but that type of pigtail scares me. Too Momochi. Augh.

[Anderei]

Small cover of the new song:

[pandapanda]

The cover isn't bad, but it really isn't good either....

[al kusanagi]

Anyone been watching their new monthly TV show? The second episode is great. They take some of them to a gym to train with two women pro wrestlers, and all sorts of hilarity ensues.

It reminds me of iroppoi jirettai regular edition cover and one of the Kime sae covers. Upfront sure does love boxes!

It's probably way easier to photo shop boxes together than get a good picture of all of the girls.

[Anderei]

Aina was absent from the concert due to a hip injury.
 
And Rikako is half Filipino. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/s51kUjel.jpg">This is her mom.</a>
 
Big photo of new trainee <a href="http://imgbox.com/adc9vBwO">Mikame Kana</a>. She looks older than she is to me.
 
And they got new outfits instead of those ugly blue ones they always have:

 
And finally, <a href="http://i.imgur.com/2Y4MaBc.jpg">ALL THE TRAINEES.</a> Taguchi continues to basically be the most adorable person ever.

[momoirosaya]

She looks very un-idol like right now...(Mikame does...) I hope H!P can work some magic on her, even though she's still KSS.
 
 Notable people to me were...Aina, she looks adorable her picture! Sayuki, she looks really pretty! Kanatomo does too! And Murota and Kurumin too~!
 
And on the bad side... Tanaka Karen's bangs do not suit her. AT ALL. Rie please grow your hair back out D: Mikame looks scry...or rather she looks scared and unhappy?? Mashiro is cute, but has ultimate buck tooth face.
 
I'm really into the Kenshuusei lately. Like I know they aren't an official group, but I they're my 2nd favorite in H!P right now after MM.

[Shoujo Q]

Mikame looks scary to me. I don't know how to describe it, like she'd come up to me, just look at me funny and I'd run away crying. 

[pandapanda]

Like those ghosts in horror films.  Very blank expression. 
 
 
edit/ nope, looks like an old lady.  Like the one that yells at you for walking on her lawn.
