The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

^ I can see that. She is a good talker.

And with her graduating, I can see even more MC duties going to Haga, the other good talker in the current lineup.

What I'm wondering is with the group losing 3 members in the span of a year, is if and when they might add some new members?
They'd still be at 11 with Haruna graduating, which is enough, but it does present them with an opportunity.

There are some promising Trainees, some girls from the ONLY YOU audition might be more suited for Morning Musume,...

I'm guessing auditions will happen next year

It seems like HP is the only one that's not musically jumping on the 90s revival trend.

Avex is trying to get people interested in their new artists by making them sing old 90s songs by some of their top artists back in the day. Hello!Project doesn’t need to do that because they continuously use their old songs in concerts.

But I'd actually like to see Murotan TIk Tok videos (super trendy in Japan right now).
We need our viral queen to do her thing.

^ ...Are you talking about the Ke$ha song, or something else? An example would be helpful, because a generic search doesn't result in much.

It's basically musical.ly but of Japan.

Tik Tok videos get a lot of views.

It's so trendy right now like here's a video of a famous Tik Tok influencer getting mobbed in Japan.

But I just did a quick check and they've posted a screenshot before on the Angerme twitter account but that's it.

Ahhh, I see. I would probably enjoy watching them do something like that because of who they are, but I never got into musical.ly here so I can't say the thought is incredibly appealing. If it's that popular though, it's not a bad idea for promo.

musical.ly now redirects to tiktok.com. I didn’t know that until I checked it just now.

I only ever see TikTok being used like Vine was used, at least in the compilations that are recommended to me on YouTube. And I get a lot of those recommendations since I changed my location setting from United States to Japan.
