I don’t think so, as far as I’m aware Maachan is just taking a break and we won’t hear anything more until the end of this concert tour

It’s likely for the KSS, with the debut of Natsume, Ruli, Miku and Momo, there’s only 10 kenshuseii remaining now

Also yes please UpF. Add Runo!!!

I'm so excited! Tsubaki's second album was a letdown for me personally so I've been extra excited for this announcement to hype me up. Fingers crossed for Arisawa because her personality is incredible. Maybe Sakura as well for a double boost? As for Juice=Juice I'm praying for Runo and Yuki!

Yuliya being the most senior now is crazy! Hopefully, she'll get added to ANGERME when she's a little bit older! I just see her blending in perfectly with that odd character of hers.

3 new members for Juice=Juice!

Hirayama Yuki has been snubbed. Arisawa Ichika gets picked over her favorite senior Hirayama Yuki...awkward...

- quick recap of the New group's 4 member additions well. They showed some new scenes not shown on Hello Dream.

- Hello! Project New member audition 2021 on July 20th.

Tsubaki Factory is 12 members.
Juice=Juice is 10 members.

Between the H!P Trainee Unit announcement two days ago and these members this has the potential to be the most powerful additions in a long time.
Both in raw numbers as in the new members themselves. Exciting times.

I’m surprised Runo was put into Tsubaki and Kisaki and Ichika was put into J=J, I thought that Runo would be put into J=J and Kisaki and Ichika in Tsubaki, oh well regardless I am sooo happy these three debuted as well as the new four h!p members

Then done me a switcharooo! I was totally expecting Runo in Juice and Ichika in Tsubaki. But I’m happy the two I wanted got in regardless of where they were placed.

I hope we get some footage because I’m super curious about what we’re getting for Juice more so in relation to Tsubaki as far as vocal ability.

With the amount of members they added to Tsubaki I imagine some graduations incoming in the next few years.

Considering the hour I was like, so smitten by Ichika and totally missed the part where she said her name. She looks nice with her hair down. And I look forward to her singing Wonderful World in English because you know it’s gonna happen!!! Also, she was giving me serious Kei/Ayumi vibes.

It is now official on the H!P site. The new members will be officially unveiled to everyone at the Hello! Project 2021 Summer Sapphire & Ruby concert tour on July 17th.

Tsubaki Factory just leveled up their future. Yagi in Japanese means goat. She is the next goat.

Hirayama Yuki better be added in the next audition or else.

On rewatching: Ichika literally pinching her arm to see if she wasn't dreaming.

Quick thoughts!

-I'm already really like Yagi, she seems like a good personality and like her saying Yofuu is her favorite KSS is just so cute! Fukuda and Kasai are interesting, I do wonder what they'll bring and I mean like others, I was expecting Yofuu to join Juice, but considering they did lose Ogata...I could see her filling that gap.

-Juice=Juice's reactions to Arisawa and Ebata are so gooood and like I never noticed but Ichika will definitely be the stunner. Did feel they did kind of overshadow Risa, but it's the first impression I got (do find it nice she likes Rikako and Meimi though)!

Overall it's great to see new members, but I think it's time to chill out with it since every group (cept for KSS Unit) is 10+ members... Honestly, the remaining 7 KSS should just form a group xD

Oh wow, that's a lot of new members! Which is good, I was just expecting maybe 1 or 2 for Tsubaki. I'm glad they didn't just add KSS and found new girls in the audition. A bit surprised they put Ebata and Arisawa in Juice=Juice and Yofuu in Tsubaki, but I look forward to their progress. Arisawa's reaction was gold. And I can't wait to see more of the new girls! Here for all the Kishimon love as well!

Part of me isn't too surprised that Hirayama Yuki didn't make it. I felt like she could have done so much better at this year's test event and didn't meet expectations so a little longer as a KSS will only do her good. When she debuts in the future, I'm sure she'll be a force to be reckoned with.
