Hello! Pro Kenshuusei get active!

[ShiroiChanUK]

I feel kind of bad. There are 28 of these girls and I've never paid attention to any of them. H!P Egg/Kenshuusei are the one thing in H!P I never really researched and they're it's future lol

[Solarblade]

So I updated the performance set with
 
Watashi ga Iu Mae Dakishimenkya ne being performed by the 12 gen finalists
 
and Oheso no Kuni Kara Konnichiwa is only going to be performed in Osaka

[Banana]

Very Beauty changed to Osaka Koi no Uta (with Kaneko, Tanabe, Yoshihashi, Hamaura, and Taguchi) during the Osaka show.

I'm the same, I know nothing about the H!P eggs or kenshuusei groups.

[Elpis]

^ I can never keep track of who is who or even know what most of their voices sound like.

[Lurkette]

To be fair, it's hard to identify a lot of their voices between lack of video footage and their voices often changing and getting more polished. When it comes to faces, though, I and I'm sure several other people here can help you identify anyone if you need help. 

[Elpis]

I can identify Rie and Rikako now, but thats it. The new MV helped a lot, I can probably identify some of the more senior eggs now.

[momoirosaya]

Here are the Kenshuusei auditioning for that musical thing

[Solarblade]

So the Kenshuusei are releasing their 3rd single on 12/21 at their Nana Tamago show, "Oheso no Kuni Kara Konnichiwa / Ten Made Nobore!" as a DVD single (ala Jurin).

[Anderei]

People are saying that Rie may have graduated at the last showing (although it's not confirmed). Rina, Akari and Mizuki were there wearing Kaneko shirts, and at the end of the show people are saying she stopped and bowed to the crowd. Karin and Sayuki were also crying backstage and thanked her later in blog posts and stuff.
 
So, as of now she's still up on the on the official site, but it looks like she might be leaving, especially because she's been taken off of the show website. If it's true, I guess it's not too surprising. She's been in the program for nearly six years, has been rejected in five auditions assuming she tried out in all of them, and has seen a lot of people who joined after her get to debut in the past three years.

[momoirosaya]

Nanami, Murotan, Rena, Rikako, and Kurumi sing Meguru Ko no Kisetsu at the C-ute concert they did.

[Anderei]

Next Nama Tamago show was announced, and they're doing the Kenshuusei Recital thing again. 2/23, 3/2, and 3/9. Website confirms that Juice=Juice still have not graduated because they'll be there.

[momoirosaya]

I feel like they're using JJ to promote the Kenshuusei

[Solarblade]

Well according to Kaneko's father, she actually quit back on the 14th, but stayed to perform on the 21st

[Noa]

I'm really sad about her leaving, she's been my favorite egg since like 2009.

[Solarblade]

So the Kenshuusei are releasing their 3rd single, Oheso no Kuni Kara Konnichiwa/Ten Made Nobore! for public sites like TOWER and HMV on 2/26

[Anderei]

There's a kenshuusei play. Bokutachi Karen na Shounen Gasshoudan.

 
Front: Sasaki Rikako
Second row: Tanabe Nanami, Hamaura Ayano
Third row: Kaga Kaede, Murota Mizuki
Back row: Yamagishi Riko, Oura Hirona, Yamaki Risa
 
It's a play that Kei and Ogawa will also be in.

[Derby]

These 3 blonde girls look really weird lol.
Kaede was really great before, I don't think the blonde fits on her

[Anderei]

Luckily they're wearing wigs and its not permanent.


Also it wasn't mentioned here before but they're doing auditions for new trainees. Callbacks started today.

[momoirosaya]

Ugh no, too many girls already are there. I don't want to get attached to more girls and then see them leave or never debut.

[Purin-chama]

In Hello! Station, was Nanami not at the performance? I wanted to hear Rikako's solo, so I was watching and Murota had two solos! I couldn't figure out why at first... until I watched the second verse. 

[Shoujo Q]

Nanami was sick for a day or two of the concert, not sure which. But it must have been the day they filmed that performance.

[momoirosaya]

A Closer Look at the Kenshuusei!
So far Tanabe Nanami, Hamaura Ayano, Taguchi Natsumi, Yoshihashi Kurumi, Nomura Minami, Yamagishi Riko, Murota Mizuki, Kosuga Fuyuka, and Ogawa Rena are up.
 
They talk about their dreams, rivals, having others debut before them, etc. It also shows the certain girl rehearsing for the Nama Tamago Show, and then the read Tsunku's comments about them.

[Banana]

The third batch is up. 
 
Fujii Rio
Inoue Hikaru
Yamaki Risa
Yokogawa Yumei
Niinuma Kisora
Ooura Hirona 
Danbara Ruru
Haga Akane
Funaki Musubu

[momoirosaya]

Rio has gotten cuter~
Musubu has braces!!I
I was surprised that Hirona was taken out of Kenshuusei performance for not being to dance and sing well enough, but is doing to musical. I know they're separate things, but I had assumed she was one of the girls who was better and singing and dancing.
 
I wonder if Rie left after her results from Tsunku....

[Banana]

Funaki seems like she's going to be really popular, judging by the amount of views and likes her videos have received. All her goods were sold out at the last KSS show, too. And it looks like she has some natural dancing talent. She's one of the best dancers in her generation, even though she's the youngest and least experienced. 

[Shoujo Q]

I found a little fan-made video to help you learn the trainee's names, whoever did it also made it so foreigners could understand and I thank them very much for that,
 
But after watching it, I still only know a few of them. xD
