If someone buys the Zukki keychains and decides they don't want the Maji Desu ka Ska! one I will gladly take it off your hands... ;)
Those are seriously adorable.

If you ever want to buy it alone Buononon ;).

[Noa]

Can someone explain to me why the individual ones are 800 each but the set of 3 is 3200??

Looks like it's a special set that includes photos and a special keychain holder.

[Meikochi]

Individual keychains also include photos and yes, the special keychain holder costs 800¥ as well (so 3200¥ for the set + keychain holder).

[Noa]

Well then I guess I will find someone to order the key chains for me because I don't need the holder.

[Mukuro]

How do you use a proxy service to buy from the hellopro shop?

[Meikochi]

You have to create an account (From Japan) or join the FB group then a group order (Idol!Swap).

PM me if you want more details.

[TicTacAnyone]

Personally I highly recommend Idol!Swap, Alita in particular. I've never had an issue and everyone's very friendly if you need help.

[TicTacAnyone]

Does anyone know if 13th gen will be announced at Kanon's grad? Or is it too soon? It just feels like the fall tour is too far away, they should have the winners picked by now, no?
 
Maybe H!P summer concerts instead?

[Anderei]

Either way, probably the least hyped up audition in history. 
 
It'll probably be at Kanon's grad, and they probably won't actually do anything in the group until the fall. If there's even a winner at all.

[JoshuaJSlone]

11th gen was under 3 months from application deadline to announcement. 12th gen was about 4.5 months. Kanon's grad would be about 3.5 months since the latest application deadline, so it seems plausible.

[WonderBuono]

Don't they usually announce new members right before graduations (as in, not on the same day)?

You're right.

Koharu was introduced on May 1st (Rika's grad : May 7th), JunLin were introduced on March 15th (Yossie's grad : May 6th), 10kies on September 29th (Ai's grad : September 30th).

[DonJuan]

Ohh I'm all for introducing 13th gen soon. If anything comes out of that audition.

Weren't all of these announced beforehand on tv? I think that's what Meikochi means. Like how Angerme's 3/4th and CG's 2nd gens were announced before they appeared onstage. If they're were gonna do 13th gen at Kanon's concert the timing would most likely be their announcement and introduction.

And I forgot 12kies, who were introduced on September 30th, while Sayumi graduated on November 26th.

And if my memory serves me right, I don't recall them to have been announced before appearing onstage (and I don't see it mentionned on wikia/other sites like wikia).


Edit : I looked for the thread about 12kies audition here : winners were announced onstage.

[Anderei]

I'm probably remembering it wrong then. Auditions aren't as exciting as they used to be.

It's not as fun because we don't have any footage during auditions but I do think announcing them during a concert is more exciting than on a TV show.


Also weren't CG 2nd gen announced & introduced during an event as well ? (I recall it being shown on H!S after the event)

 

[Solarblade]

^
Yeah, Funakki and Yanamin were announced at an event celebrating CG's 1st year anniversary
 
Also, 3rd Gen ANGERME was announced on the first day of their SMILE FANTASY! stageplay

[Anderei]

Yeah, I've already accepted that I don't remember anything properly.

[Purin-chama]

Tokyo is raining so far today for Meimi'a graduation... still 12+ hours away, though.

[Shoujo Q]

Meimi may have graduated. But it seems the only thing people are talking about who watched the BTS TV version.

I don't know why but I'm surprised to see that kanon rika and aika spent almost the same time in the group. It feels different for the three of them.

[momoirosaya]

That's because Rika did way more in her time in MM than Aika, and Aika did more than Kanon. Especially since Rika was around for part of MM's Golden Era.
