If H!P is seen as one of the gold standards of Japanese idol groups, why is the management so reluctant to have them appear on The First Take?

Any H!P group would do amazing on the first take, and would probably make them go viral/mainstream. Since they already do so well at music festivals.

Personally I hate the first take haha it's so insincere with the super heavy vocal editing, for me that defeats the whole point of a single take recording? They advertise it like it's an authentic live recording while autotuning everyone to death and back. The soft skin filters they put on everyone is creepy too, just let people have wrinkles ffs. The one on one H!P videos were pretty bad too though, they would write in the description it was one in one take and in the video you...

...can clearly see it was multiple takes stitched together. Not to mention the sloppy vocal editing with tons of mistakes. So yeah I am not bothered by the lack of h!p first take videos lol

@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.?

So aside from BEYOOOOONDS, which groups are getting new members from the audition? I'm betting ANGERME and Juice=Juice..

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 >_<

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).

Rewatching Shugo Chara and realizing how much of a legendary song Hontou no Jibun is. Man, I wish Buono could've continued their career because they all seem to love it

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 :(

It came full circle: Tsunku wrote and composed a song for Mesemoa (formerly Musumen), the group who was formed out of love for Morning Musume. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qmre4NmGp7o

You cannot change my mind: This is the worst MM single in YEARS. We had decent to REALLY GOOD songs during the pandemic and then THIS???????

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

Probability of the next Monring Musume single (not the August releasing one, but the one releasing at the end of the year), Ayumi's last, to feature rap verses or be an actual rock song: 70%

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

So with members from J=J and Anju graduating, which KSS are going to be added in the summer?

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
May 29 2024 11:42 AM -

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

WHAT THE HECK UFP, When is the next Morning Musume release???? Everyone is already releasing SOMETHING and zero updates for the flagship group?

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 -

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

Please don't tell me MM is gonna take the short end of the stick again and will have a release in December?????

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

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

UFP should stop being so conservative with releases. BEYOOOOONDS lost a lot of potential getting more music only having one single every year

If they were doing more Yuhane would probably stil be in the group. Just saying...

I might have missed it, but is there any update this month for Mifu? There should be one now since February has ended, and I'm honestly worried that she might leave earlier than Uemura

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?

Which groups will get new members? Betting on Tsubaki, ANGERME, and even Juice=Juice to get new members from the auditions
Jan 31 2024 04:17 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.
