The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[Shabranikuduu]

I've been hoping for a Yuriya/Karin mini unit too, it would be adorable!

Also, even if no Hokkaido KSS are added this time, at least they have a better debut record than SI*NA

I haven't thought about SINA for a minute. I still wish Suma Ai had made it to full debut.

Watching a bit of that Masaki-chan compilation Celedam posted in the YT thread made me sad to see those clips of Tsunku-san when he was still healthy. Also I noticed his body language when he was conversing with Michishige. He was leaning back and making sure to be respectful of her personal space. And it made me realize that there was never to my knowledge even the slightest hint of a #metoo type scandal in Tsunku-san's behavior. He set up an environment for young talent to be safely nurtured and maintained impeccably gentlemanly behavior throughout. So many people assume idol groups are inherently hotbeds for sleazy goings-on but in the case of H!P at least, it has been quite the opposite, a place where girls have been protected. Despite the rare scandals, I'd argue that from the available evidence, H!P girls and women are probably safer in H!P than in society at large.

What time do we find out the J=J new gen ?

[Moh]

It's already happened!

[Jessi]

Omg thank you! And I’m so happy with the choices

It's cute that all of Juice=Juice's member additions have happened in June. And that the Hokkaido KSS (Yume) were introduced in July (the second Ju=Ju month).

Morning Musume. '19 Fighting game : Makino Maria vs. Kaga Kaede

Wow, the platform fighting games have come a long way. I remember early fighters with Momochi's pinky attack vs Kumai chop.

This will be a week (give or take) long remembered: new Juice=Juice members, graduations of two leaders and soon Morning Musume audition results.
