@tadase I was just thinking about this so ig the upcoming 15th anniversary of Yumemiru Fifteen will be a perfect opportunity for HelloPro to put Anju's music on Spotify/Tidal/etc.?

honestly I feel like if J=J gets new members there should be only one at most bcuz Mifu joined a few years ago and still hasn't appeared in any of the group's A-sides... for Anju I'd say about 2 bcuz Kawamuu'll have joined the list of graduates along with Rikako by the end of this year >_<

As long as Niina debuts somewhere, I'm good

Watching ANGERME in the concert recordings they put up, it definitely felt like they'd end up with a another few members. 2-3 I'm guessing. That's the only one that seemed especially obvious to me, feels like they could go either way with Juice. Also expecting a few more Kenshuusei (as usual).

If only management didn't force them to stay in their main groups after 2012. They could've been so much bigger and deserved so much more :(

Weren't there more members in the past? They're seriously lacking a hot guy in the group lol And I love Tsunku, but this song is REALLY bad!

Yes, four of them graduated in December 2023. I really liked Shirofuku lol

the only saving grace are if the MVs are done really tastefully, and if the Nandaka studio version is 10x better than the live we have so far

Honestly, i've been listening more music from og's than h!p lately. For me, is rare the big difference of quality pf then with h!p groups. Airi's music is so good

My fingers will be crossed so tightly.

Has there been announcement about one at the end of the year for Ayumi's grad? Frankly, H!P has gotten so lazy with release schedules that I wouldn't put it past them to just have this one in August be her last and let her release a digital solo song.
Jun 26 2024 08:39 AM

tadase

None yet, but it's presumed they will get another one because they didn't announce the upcoming one as Ayumi's last.

Oh maybe it would be a dance track to highlight her dancing like Rikako. So many choices

I’m OK with new members getting into Anju. It’s been a year now since Hanana and Yuupyon have joined the group and the chemistry is working well within the group.
I wouldn’t mind Niina and Yuriya as 12th generation members

For Juice=Juice I think it’s quite too early for the moment.
Mifu is here since a year but because of her health problems, poor girl still didn’t have her proper first single release.
I think it will be better it she can steps her mark a little more before putting in new members

i want nina to be mifu sidekick but not sure how awkward it's going to be since mifu hasn't had a proper debut

I do think MM,TF and ON are supposed to have a summer realease but the announcements are taking sooooo long. They really need to do better.
May 12 2024 05:00 PM

XFER

Yeah, Erina, as far as I heard, never got an announcement about her new leadership. And now, also nothing! They seem purposefully trying to sabotage her :(
May 12 2024 10:15 PM

Casidesia

I don't think it's sabotage. It's just neglect because they know they can do the bare minimum and still get sales.
May 12 2024 11:18 PM

Kumi-chan

Maybe in july? Some JP fans talk about july. TF and ON need new singles too
Apr 19 2024 01:21 PM

sukibeam

I mean, really, they just need to up releases for all groups. I'd be fine with fewer triple a-sides if it meant more frequent singles. Feels like they promote the same songs for forever at a time.
Apr 20 2024 12:31 AM

minaeshi

honestly it sounds harsh but they shouldnt be debuting more groups if they cant even maintain a healthy release schedule for their current roster
Apr 21 2024 07:18 PM

mizukingdom1

If they were doing more Yuhane would probably stil be in the group. Just saying...
Apr 06 2024 01:47 PM

I'm curious too. H!P wrapped up the winter tour 2/23, with Hina Fes at the end of the month. J=J is the 2nd to last group to start their spring tour (4/20), so maybe they're just trying to buy her more time to heal while catching up on being integrated into choreographies?
Mar 07 2024 10:52 PM

Dreamiin

My guess are Angerme, Juice=Juice and Tsubaki Factory (both groups losing pretty important members this spring) + KKS Unit to finalize the new group line up.
Also, as bizarre as it could be, I would love to see new people added to Ocha Norma
Jan 31 2024 09:57 PM

RobianMoon

even morning musume could get new members, so i don't know what to expect, i wonder if a kss would debut
Feb 01 2024 02:25 AM

sukibeam

Tsubaki, KSSU24, and KSS are highest on my list to get new blood from this audition. I don't see J=J getting new member(s) until Mifu is back, otherwise it would be super awkward since she'd essentially be as new as them. MM likes their auditions to coincide with upcoming graduations, so I'm theorizing a new joint-group audition later this year into next year for MM/Anju/J=J.
Feb 01 2024 07:03 PM

tadase

Even crazier that MM has survived the yearly naming despite being a clusterduck on Apple music lmao
Jan 29 2024 06:38 PM

Kumi-chan

Don't know for ARASHI but for the other two groups it's not the whole discography, it's only releases since 2020 (KAT-TUN) and 2019 (Kanja). Also, in the online version you can't have all the songs from their last albums/single: just a selection (the solos & some songs are missing). Of course it's an improvement but I don't understand why not release the whole discography.
Jan 01 2024 03:36 PM

tadase

Kanjani will release all their discography later this month. It's a tiered release
