ANGERME New Members: 7th Gen

[DonJuan]

Oh yeah I fear it's going to be Yuriya. Nothing against her but it's still a bit early.

[Anderei]

Yeah, she’s nowhere near ready.

[Elpis]

With new member(s) suddenly coming, I'm wondering if it means that someone else other than Dawa is planning on graduation. They usually only add members after someone departs and like to keep the member number the same each time. Although we'll have to wait and see for both these things.

[TicTacAnyone]

I think Yuriya is a hoot and a great example of the whole "my-pace" character. Plus if there's any group besides Ju=Ju that's bound to produce a good idol through its training, it's Anju. Buuut that's just my thoughts... There should be multiple KSS who are younger than Momona so it could be any number of them. Or Momona could just be trolling around.

[DonJuan]

I agree, but I think she is still too young. She is still only 10.

[JPope]

They're gonna dilute Angerme talent pool just like they did to MM, aren't they? It's like they don't want me to follow these groups.

[Solarblade]

ANGERME's new members are Ise Reira (伊勢 鈴蘭) from Hokkaido (from the ONLY YOU audition) and Oota Haruka from the Hokkaido KSS

Hey someone with more mod powers than me, I accidentally put the rest of the posts for this thread in Topic 8060 instead of 8068! Can you move them back here? Thanks, sorry!!

None of the Hokkaido girls are that great imo, so here’s hoping Ise is a standout.

[Mukuro]

I wish they chose Kudo Yume :( I'm really happy we got one new face though!

Pics of the girls are up

Oota is one day older than Kassa, lol.

They look like MM members. Can’t explain why, they just do.

[DonJuan]

Apparently Reira wasn't a fan of H!P before and her sister handed in her application without her permission.
Not that I mind, but it's funny considering they always add that to every audition announcement nowadays. As in, "you love H!P? Then join us!".

In two years her story will magically change. I remember both Kanon and Masaki talking out of the blue a few years in about how they were totally fans beforehand lol.

[Madara]

I just watched Angerme's latest concert DVD. Believe me, this group doesn't need new members. It's enough to keep track of the ten who are there. There are so many talented members now that some of them, like Mizuki and Musubu, wind up getting short shrift in the concert formations, while Rikako gets the "ace" spot (and deservedly so). Some of them, like Moe, get just the right amount of attention. Ayano probably does also, but she's so good I still get hungry for more. They don't need newbies getting underfoot.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Also with your last sentence: They already have slight problems in dividing the spotlight, even though they're doing it better than other groups. I do wonder if there might be another graduation coming, but that would be in fall 2019 at the earliest - or maybe the H!P summer concert, but I doubt it. 

[yuzuriha]

I feel like this is just pushing me further from H!P again.  Oota kind of looks like Kosuga?

[momoirosaya]

There was a video on Twitter circling of footage of their introduction at the concert.


Reira has a much deeper voice than I though she would. Also I rewatched Haruka’s KSS recital songs and she is a terrible singer, oh my god. Worse than Kassa and Ayano.


I’m underwhelmed.

[DonJuan]

Yupp, pretty much all Hokkaido Kenshuusei are lacking in the vocal department. Let's hope Reira makes up for it.

[Farrah]

I don't want to be overly biased against these girls, I'm trying really hard to welcome them with an open mind... but I can't pretend I don't feel like this is messing with perfection :(  Must be another big graduation coming up, I just hope it's not Akari, because she's probably my favorite member at the moment.

I have a hunch it will be her, no real reason though just a feeling I got

[momoirosaya]

It’s definitely one of Amerika. My bets on Rina.

[honey]

ugh. why is this happening. every day we stray further away from tsunku

[DonJuan]

My biggest problem is that even if someone else graduated the group could still easily carry itself. They aren't too old like Juice (Kassa and Funakki are among the youngest members of H!P, and i don't think Rikako is that old either), we know they are vocally talented, and if they survive from a persona like Dawa graduating they'd do fine despite any graduations.

I guess losing Moe, Rikako or Murotan would be not so good since they've gotten some attention out of H!P but it would'nt kill the group.


Now we've got another two really young members. Granted, it's better to let them learn in the background than to get into a Platinum Era situation but let's be honest, the group was far from that.

[Solarblade]

So it seems the official site had changed the url to Ise's name and now it's Layla Ise (http://helloproject.com/angerme/profile/layla_ise/)

[Meikochi]

H!P, why "westernising" names, even if it is where her parents inspired from ?

[momoirosaya]

If she was half that would make sense, otherwise it's just kind of cringey. They should have at least gone with the spelling Leila.

Agreed.

[Solarblade]

Well i think her parents named her that after the Eric Clapton track, so ut kind of makes sense that but...we'll see


I mean Dambara was odd initially too but eh
