New Kenshuusei unit Tsubaki Factory - 1st indies single "Seishun Manmannaka!" 9/6

[iceymoon]

Maimi didn't have anything to do with the forming of Kobushi Factory. She just delivered the news that they were chosen.

exactly. and to add, i think Maimi was chosen to deliver the news to Kobushi Factory because of her role as Hello! Project leader. as for why Captain now and not then, maybe because Captain was still an H!P member, not H!P advisor, when Kobushi was announced.. or because they hadn't yet decided whether the H!P advisor roles should include on-screen duties.

in any case, i'm glad Captain got to deliver the news to Tsubaki Factory. she seems more natural at this sort of thing than Maimi, and she also had more to say due to her involvement. and of course, it's nice to see her again in whatever capacity her new role allows.

omg.
Can you imagine? Instead of Tsunku Versions (because that's impossible...) maybe we'll get Captain/Chinami versions!!!

[jeiwa42]

That'd be so cute, and their voices are really distinct so it's be really obvious (which is good) hehe

Also, wasn't part of why Maimi was chosen was because the Kobushi-to-be was practicing for a surprise C-ute performance and Maimi walked in to watch their rehearsal lol And yeah, she is also H!P Leader so it'd make sense to try and give her a chance at announcements and stuff, but now we have Captain Advisor hehe

Classic UF* Giving them white outfits when they first appear.

^ I am tired of it already tbh lol. Even S/mileage had a bit of variety in their indies outfits.

[forgetmenots]

I'm thinking that their outfits purposely match KFactory's. The styling looks similar. I'm wondering if they're going to have them debut at the same time, or have a kind of competition feel to see who will be ready to majorly debut first. If UF* plays it right (and friendly) it could be a really successful ploy.

CG's weren't in white were they? I remember them being in those adorable indies outfits that I was sad to see go. J=J weren't pure white either.

And then 12th Gen were in white because that was the concert outfit for the graduation performance of Mikaeri Bijin (which they particpated in).

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

..UF usually gives white to new groups (it seems? CG, KF, even J=J in dakishimenakya is mostly white..., TF, 12th gen...) what next? xD

CG was, the Itooshikute outfits. and that's what they don lately anyway.

I just realized, btw, I have absolutely no idea of the names of any of the girls in this group, I just know there are 6. (or is it 7? I don't even know that... O.o)

[forgetmenots]

^The original Itooshikute outfits were only half white (in fact I'd say plaid was the theme), as was J=J's (who was all polka-dot-y)XD I wouldn't say they were pure white like K/TFactory and 12th Gen. (It's like seeing the glass half empty or half full though I guess haha)

Mostly I'm just arguing that they aren't doing it on purpose lol. It's just happening to work out that way.
