New Kenshuusei unit Kobushi Factory

[BerryzKobo4Life]

Yeah, what is the hold up with H!P or whoever is responsible? And about Hama-chan deciding to see Country Girls as their rival...it might motivate the H!P Kenshuusei girls to to do their best.

[aerosuffly]

Why not just call them, "Hamachan and the 7 Cool Hello!" (in fact some wota are calling them that )

[Denki]

Tbh, I'm going to start a riot if the new unit's furute name is mainly based on 1 single member.

Yes, I'm against Hamachans as well.

The moment when マイペース (my pace) becomes their group name...(I think like 3 of them said this phrase lol)

The...special ability portion was...interesting? o.o I liked the flip Rio did, and I found Hirose and Rei's fine, but like...Taguchi's and Sakurako's o.o also, what was Minami doing lol

To me, this whole group is about Rena.

"Rena and the Rest of them"

I'm pretty sure my oshi is gonna wind up being Hamachan, but honestly, I'm holding back on my opinion. I've seen lots of people saying things like "I only like this one girl" (not just you, AH) and it's like... we've hardly seen them interact as a group. We have their announcement stuff and first performance and that's it, and people are acting like their opinions are already set in stone.

Like, if you actively follow the KSS, sure. Cool. But Rei and Hirose are so fucking new that I feel like people should wait to see how they do before definitely deciding things. Not to mention that a lot of times, KSS/Eggs change (slightly) after they debut. So imo it's not really fair.

Not saying people can't have oshis already, and if you do that's fine, but I feel like every time new members debut/KSS are promoted everyone suddenly has a new favourite.

I know I started freaking out about Ogata instantly, but I didn't oshihen from Ayumi... I love her a LOT, but I don't know enough about her for her to be a top-tier oshi yet. Obviously you can love the newbies, but people are declaring all these new faves and that is what I have an issue with. Like, you've been following these groups for years, you have your faves, but then suddenly someone new joins and that fave member of yours is no longer your top girl? I'd wait a bit, because I dunno girls change a lot even a year after they've joined.

Also, otaku_blue (and others maybe) have stated how disjointed this group looks... Please, no group will ever look as "random" as Berryz .

[AyuHikaru]

Whoa whoa I said this group is about Rena not that I was oshihening from Harunan. And I think since I follow KSS (Even have Rena's pinup from the summer concert and a few of her 2L's) thats pretty fair of me to say.

If that were at all possible, it would be Murotan I do that with.

but then again, people like who they like, even if it's immediate. Yeah you did do that with Ogata and we knew NOTHING about her. If it's okay for you to do it, then they can too.

[resop2]

Maybe they could call themselves "The Warriors 8" where each member has a military themed title like fighter, corporal, rikishi, archer, samurai, ninja, first mate, and ranger?

[Sohee]

To me, this whole group is about Rena.

"Rena and the Rest of them"

You and me both. *-*
I think I'll end up liking at least half of the group though...
But Rena is the only one who matters tbh.

[otaku_blue]

I feel like Im the only one whos more excited about the NGP girls??

Seriously once Ayaka gets to singing you'll guys see the light soon
