When Yamagishi Riko leaves Kenshuusei, Ichioka Reina is probably the next Kenshuusei leader. good friends Niinuma Kisora and Danbara Ruru should have been together

Thank you for someone saying it ! I shipped Ruru/Kisora/Musubu hard

I'm still happy there's another group debuting though because I'm sure all of these girls deserve to be In a group.

AFTER SO LONG OF NO CAPPY I'M SO HAPPY FOR THIS
CAPPPYYYYYY

Tsubaki Factory is cool, too.

...So basically they took Berryz and split them into 2 new groups. xD
I wonder if they will be as good as each other!
Like, if Kobushi stays as awesome as their debut single, and Tsubaki has a kick-ass first single, (indies, obv i'm referring to...) then damn, I don't have to worry about Berryz's departure AS much.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Small summaries from Sohee, that might be a little clearer reading than some of UFLink.

- "Tsubaki" originates from three kanji used in the past (no longer); Tsu (強; strong), Ba (葉; leaves), Ki (木; tree).
- Historically the plant was thought of as holy because it seemed to get greener in winter, where other plants died or withered.
- Represents "charm", "gentle", "pride" in floriography/language of flowers.
- They are hoped to grow into a group representing nobility, elegance, and the strength of the evergreen plants.

^ And Camelia seed oil (Tea seed oil) is super tasty and aromatic but super expensive.

That aside, I just had time to watch Hello! Station, and I have to say that as a group Tsubaki Factory has better look than Kobushi Factory, just a tiny bit more. Tanimoto Ami is so pretty. I did not realize that Kiki is that tiny but she is only 14, so she will grow (probably). I am sony that one of my favorite KSS, Kisora, got debuted. In my opinion, her atmosphere resembles Sakura, and I expect a lot of great things from her. But the highlight from the announcement for me was when Rikoriko broke into tears when they interview her. She must have been very very worried.

You know, one thing that surprises me from this announcement is the fact that Kishimon is in her 1st year of high school. I thought that since she was born in April, she'd still be in middle school like Hamachan and Tagucchi.

Also, Kobushi Factory and Tsubaki Factory are the two groups in H!P that have a majority of members with B as their blood group (3 members each).

[Denki]

It's likely that, in Kishimoto's former elementary school, the cut-off date was April 1st rather than March 31st.

Edit: thanks Sohee for the correction. ^^

Tsubaki Factory picking out the performance test line-up

----------------------------

Also from the latest episode of H!S that got subtitled (113).
Mizuki & Risa about Riko:

Y: Is there a Kenshuusei that's recently caught your eye?

F: Without Kobushi Factory, Yamagishi Riko-chan would be the top?

Y: That's right

M: When Mizuki went to observe a Nama Tamago Show.
It was exactly when Nomura Minami-chan and RikoRiko were introducing themselves
Their first appearance, possibly?
Since then, they left an impression on me
I've always been keeping an eye on the 2 of them since then
How many years have passed? 2 years, I guess?
They've really grown up
No matter how much time passes, her airy way of speaking hasn't changed
Also, with her hair braided, RikoRiko's really adorable
I love her
Since she cut her hair, I think she's gotten even cuter

Y: Having it cut suits her

F: Also, her fair skin

Y: I know what you mean
I've performed in a play with Yamagishi-san
We got to talk quite a lot
Wherever we went, that fluffy feeling never disappeared
I'm really envious

I wasn't too much of a fan of Kobushi Factory since I'm not into the more rock-themed music, but I'm really excited for Tsubaki Factory. I'm assuming they'll be the more pop-alternative to Kobushi, but even if they aren't I really like the members. Riko is adorable, as is Kisora, so I'm excited to see how they grow
