DonJuan's been typing something for over 5 minutes already. It better be the names, pictures, profiles, hobbies and if they suck or not...</blockquote>


She predicted it would be around 30 minutes after it started. It's likely she may have started a post and then scrapped it. The forum doesn't update online users until 15 minutes pass, or they do another activity.

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

In case anyones interested. Someone on Niconico posted a sound only live stream of the concert.

[Derby]

I just went to check the Give me more love streaming version to see when did they introduce the 12th gen. And it was not even in that concert.
<div>I remember what outfits they were wearing tho so it was either in their 1st MC segment after 20 minutes or their 2nd after 40 minutes from the start.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What I wonder is how long it takes for that info to be revealed outside of the concert venue?</div>

Yokoyama Reina and Kaga Kaede
 
 
I'mmmm done with MM for a while wtf are these choices.

[Elpis]

Well, watching the live stream, Yokoyama Reina and Kaga Kaede are the two members revealed so far. I can't tell if they're the only two though.

[DonJuan]

I'm typing? I wasn't even on lol.

It's Yokoyama Reina and Kaga Kaede.

[Derby]

Well, "yokoyama reina" kinda sounds like "danbara ruru" so there's still hope

[MejraThea]

Those are the only two. I cried a bit when Kaede was announced. But no idea about the other one lol.

[momoirosaya]

I was shocked at Kaedi, but to be honest I'm a bit disappointed about the results :/

[Elpis]

I think it's Yokoyama Reina. The comments section on the live stream pretty much exploded at that point and it kept saying Reina. And it looks like they're the only two. I'm happy for them since I like the two of them, but I'm salty Ruru didn't make it.

[Derby]

it's so obvious it should have been kaede-ruru lol
maybe they already have plans for a new c-ute replacement with ruru in it???

[TicTacAnyone]

Yokoyama Reina is from the newest gen of KSS. She was added to KSS in August of this year.

[DonJuan]

I've heared that Reina was something like a fan favourite. Not too happy about Kaede, don't like her attitude. But well, at least she's not tone deaf. First 2 member generation?

[Elpis]

I'm surprised at how old they both are. I figured they'd add younger girls for sure and make the median age lower again.

[Derby]

Isn't Kaede the oldest addition after Miki and Junjun? (prior to the 2nd gen of course)

[sayu1991]

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.

[DonJuan]

From the first pictures it looks like they wear exactly the same dresses as 12ki did at their reveal haha.


Reina is 15, Kaede is 17. Too old. We really didn't need another 17yo.

[TicTacAnyone]

My prediction is we'll see a number of the older girls from KSS leave, such as:
 
Horie Kizuki (18)
Ichioka Reina (17)
Takase Kurumi (17)
 
Kaga Kaede is 17 and Yokoyama Reina is 15
 
Kaga's appeal is her dancing and deep voice, she's from Tokyo and looks up to Sayashi Riho
 
Yokoyama is from Saitama, and looks up to Oda Sakura and Hirose Ayaka. So hopefully she sings well. She can apparently play numerous instruments, though.

[Shoujo Q]

Seriously? Can't win! First people complain, THEY ARE TOO YOUNG! Now, too old?! I'm glad they went older! 

[Derby]

She's just 1 month younger than Haruka who joined 5 years ago LOL

Not Yokoyama, but Kaede is in the recital digests I posted a page or so ago.
 
As for their age, honestly I'm relieved. We do not need more lolis.

[DonJuan]

But they already have so many old members. Who is 17? Masaki, Duu, Sakura, Ogata, Miki. They could have added at least one member that was around Akane's age.

Nothing on newbie, but Kaede has a lot of clips. She is in the recital I posted some pages back.

Yokoyama's only a year or so older than Akane

[Elpis]

I'm glad they went older. But I just wanted Ruru to be a member as well. I'd be more happy with this result. I'm already feeling better about it than 12ki announcement though.

[TicTacAnyone]

Yokoyama Reina (15, Saitama)

 
Kaga Kaede (17, Tokyo)

[DonJuan]

Granted though, I'm probably only a bit pissy about Kaede. Hopefully that means the'll announce new auditions some time next year.

[Derby]

I'm just surprised with their age because they always go for girls in their early-to-middle teens and Kaede will be an adult in 1 year.
 
but serious talk, who's gonna get Riho's red...
