Some bold choices for Memory Seishun. 
 
I wish they'd pull the Factories out of this already.

[Meikochi]

I hope we'll get to see Sayonara Hageshiki Koi by KF and Ai wa Itsumo Itsumo by these KSS, I love these Berikyuu songs.

[Anderei]

They have new profile pictures.

Performance from Upcoming. With the girls all labeled as well.

[Noa]

Why are TF still performing with the KSS? Haven’t they been around for like 3 years now?

[Anderei]

This recital is the first without Kobushi so I'd expect Tsubaki to probably be there for another year.

[Shoujo Q]

I expect Reina's group will take over Tsubaki's role late next year once they've become more established.

[Shoujo Q]

Updated 1st Postwith new photos for KSS. added the new generation (will wait for H!P company photos.) 

[Anderei]

Kenshuusei special event in Nagoya ~Hajimemashite! 2~, 2/13
 
Performers: Maeda Kokoro, Yamazaki Yuhane, Nishida Shiori, and Shimakura Rika
 
Gee, I wonder who MIGHT be debuting soon.

[Shoujo Q]

Yes to all these girls but Yuhane. She's got this weird face like she was an infant and her mother fed her a lemon and her face got stuck like that. And I'm super shallow when it comes to my debuting KSS for like the first year. But it helps me remember them faster if I pick on them. xD 


Kokoro - Big ears
Yuhane - Sour Lemon
Shiori - 80s Idol Face
Rika - She's got an OG name but is more vanilla (in looks) than my ice cream.

[TheParuProject]

Well Shiori and 3 other girls did it in September, so it might just be whoever was able to travel. But I'm okay with this if it were the case, Shiori and Yuhane are my top 2 KSS. :D

Did they? Never mind then.


I still feel like they're set on debuting Yuhane after she did those commercials with Moe and Musubu.

[momoirosaya]

Yuhane is literally so pretty.

[Vikitty]

I let Youtube just keep playing the suggested videos and I think this is the test from last year -- who is this adorkable girl doing a pretty solid version of Mr Moonlight? https://youtu.be/KYihjTyEM3k?t=6m52s

Kiyono Momohime


She is no longer a kenshuusei. They "debutted" her and Takase Kurumi as focusing on theater productions. Otherwise, they are performing on their own without the kenshuusei at concerts. Gobaku ~We can't go back~ features her, Takase, Ayano (Angerme), Ruru (J=J), and Ichioka Reina. For the winter concert, she is in the performance for Suki Sugite with Takase, Ichioka, and Inaba Manaka. They recently had a focus on the last Hello Station for the dance practice. Next week is singing.

Kiyono Momohime. Lovely girl is performing at H!P concerts with 3 other KSS / Manaka since 2017 Summer concert.

[Vikitty]

Thanks, guys! I was really impressed by her attitude in that song, and she's as cute as a button to boot. 

[Meikochi]

Here is a footage of 2017 H!P Summer concert, "debuted" KSS part, if you want another performance of her : https://youtu.be/FqZyXiQ8-vg .

[Vikitty]

That song is catchy af but the heavily processed vocals at times kinda ruin it for me. Love the intro cards! I don't really pay attention to the KSS but I like Reina too in this song. She's debuting with a group sometime, right? I vaguely recall that from the shuffle.

[Meikochi]

It has been announced at the end of June she will be the leader of a new unit. No news at all since this announcement though.

[Solarblade]

Couple of things
 
The next Happyoukai is titled "Hello! Project Kenshuusei Happyokai March 2018 ~Sakura~ an will include Tsubaki Factory, Ichioka, Takase, Kiyono, all of the main KSS (newbies included), and Hokkaido's Sato Hikari as well.
 
 
Though it was also announced that Goto Sayaka has finished her training as well.

[Meikochi]

So it's a different Hokkaido girl this time, nice.


Goto Sayaka wasn't listed in the first post so I had to check the wikia to remember her. It's written she lives in Oita, north east of Kyushu, and that it took her at least 4 hours to go to Osaka for lessons. Knowing that, I'm not surprised she only stayed 2 months in the program.

[momoirosaya]

Aww the commute was probably too much for her. That’s a shame.

[MejraThea]

As she was one of my two favorites from the new batch that's really a shame.
