H!P/etc Ranking Thread

Kobushi Factory Ranking
1. Nomura Minami - Minamina will never move from this spot, I have always had a soft spot for this sweetie and she is the main reason why I love this group as much as I do! To think Tsunku commented on how she didn't have good dancing about a year ago, she has improved in every way possible.
2. Ogawa Rena - What a beauty, although I don't think she has the best voice she surely caught my eye with her beauty. She is one to watch!
3. Inoue Rei - I didn't think too much of her when I first set eyes on the group but she has jumped up my ranking with both her looks and vocal abilities.
4. Hirose Ayaka - Same as above. (I still look on Ayaka and Rei as being outsiders but that is because I just wasn't used to seeing them, once this group becomes more established I will just see them all as Kobushi Factory and not KSS + NGP)
5. Taguchi Natsumi - I have always like Taguchi but she isn't featured much in this first single, I look forward to seeing more from her.
6. Hamaura Ayano - Hamaura is a cutie and I feel bad having her so far down the list but this is such a strong group, she definitely has the looks but I am not too sure of her dance/vocal abilities yet.
7. Fujii Rio - I haven't seen much from her so I don't really have an opinion of her yet.
8. Wada Sakurako - Same as above, I don't know why but there is just something I find off about her. I can't quite put it my finger on it and I don't dislike her but she is definitely the bottom of my list.

(Previous ranking of Kobushi Factory after my first impressions on the group)
1. Nomura Minami
2. Hamaura Ayano
3. Ogawa Rena
4. Taguchi Natsumi
5. Wada Sakurako
6. Inoue Rei
7. Hirose Ayaka
8. Fujii Rio

Tsubaki Factory Ranking
There isn't much to say about these girls yet but this is my current ranking of them from following them as KSS, the only girls I don't know are 5 & 6 so I have to get to know them better before I can form a real opinion on them both.
1. Kishimoto Yumeno
2. Asakura Kiki
3. Yamagishi Riko
4. Niinuma Kisora
5. Tanimoto Ami
6. Ogata Risa

[iceymoon]

gonna rank Tsubaki Factory so i can compare it to how i feel later on:

1. Asakura Kiki
2. Niinuma Kisora
3. Kishimoto Yumeno
4. Yamagishi Riko
5. Tanimoto Ami
6. Ogata Risa

even though i've been paying attention to KSS since they were HelloPro Eggs, i feel like i never get to know the girls personality & talent that well so i don't have very much to go on (except generally being familiar with them, and already having an image of whether i liked them or not). so this ranking could change A LOT.

i think i mentioned before somewhere that i like Kiki more every time i see her. so happy she's in this group. i've also really liked Kisora, she gives me good vibes like i can expect her to be one of my favorites in the future. Yumeno i haven't been a devoted fan to like others on this forum, but i see what makes her stand out, and it's good. i also think she's pretty. Riko i used to like A LOT, but that has gone down in the last year or so. maybe it will come back!

Tanimoto and Ogata Risa i'm pretty neutral on, and they both came from the KSS generation that has yet to grow on me. Ami looks pretty enough, i think that'll become more obvious when she's allowed to style her hair differently, so she may grow on me. Risa.. i currently doubt i'll ever warm up to her, but i guess only time will tell.

Tsubaki Factory Ranking:

1. Niinuma Kisora
2. Asakura Kiki
3. Tanimoto Ami
4. Yamagishi Riko
5. Ogata Risa
6. Kishimoto Yumeno

I almost put Kiki as #1, but that's only because she reminds me of Takitty

[BerryzCelebration]

Tsubaki Factory Ranking:
1. Niinuma Kisora - The one Kenshuusei I've been rooting the most for since late 2014
2. Yamagishi Riko - I really wanted her to debut, now my dream has come true. She has a strong resemblance to Sayu, and I love how she challenges herself (singing Aitai Aitai Aitai na at the last recital test)
3. Asakura Kiki - The Takahashi resemblance is strong. I love her smile and how she dances so energetically. I wouldn't be surprised if she became the ace of the group.
4. Kishimoto Yumeno - Never really looked into her while she was in the KSS.
5. Ogata & Tanimoto - They're both beautiful, but they haven't really caught my attention yet as newbies.

4. Ogata, Tanimoto

Only know I really like Yumeno and Kiki (for some reason) and that Kisora is likable. Know zip of Ogata and Tanimoto so. :3 And Yamagishi is just a huge no.

[Shabranikuduu]

Kobushi Factory:
1. Taguchi Natsumi
2. Nomura Minami
3. Hamaura Ayano
4. Ogawa Rena
5. Hirose Ayaka
6. Wada Sakurako
7. Inoue Rei
8. Fujii Rio

Idk why, but I find Taguchi adorable, which is why she's first. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Ayaka and Rei, they're still low because I don't know them well enough.

Tsubaki Factory:
1. Kishimoto Yumeno
2. Niinuma Kisora
3. Asakura Kiki
4. Yamagishi Riko
5. Ogata Risa
6. Tanimoto Ami

Ogata and Tanimoto are still really new so I don't really know them. Kishimon has been my favourite ever since she didn't make it into 11th gen.

[forgetmenots]

Group Rankings:

1) Morning Musume '15
2) Country Girls
3) ANGERME
4) C-ute
5) Kobushi Factory
6) Juice=Juice
7) Tsubaki Factory (though this is an unknown)

Holy crap, man, that's seven groups, three of them pretty large. ANGERME and C-ute flip flop a lot depending on releases and hype. I think I'm more invested in ANGERME overall though. (Taiki Bansei was the first non-MM single I bought all the copies for).
