Hello! Dream #48 3.8.21

https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1a54y1a7WW

In this week's episode, coverage of the Kenshuusei "Vocal" & "Dance" selection auditions is shown. Plus, in a last minute rush, they added the surprise announcement at the Kenshuusei Recital held on March 7th.

- They begin with the "Dance" auditions for Tsubaki Factory's "Fuwari, Koi Dokei". They auditioned in 2 groups. The Hello Pro Kenshuusei Unit members also audition separately. The judges are Mitsubachi, Ueno, as well as Miyamoto Karin.
- After, the Kenshuusei all gather in the room for the results. The Hello Pro Kenshuusei Unit members were currently at the H!P concert, so they were on remote video call. The judges have made their selection. They announced it will be Nakayama Natsume, Onoda Karin, Hiromoto Ruli and Uemura Hasumi. In their interview, each of them were pretty stoked to be selected.
- Next, they begin the "Vocal" audition. The song is Fujimoto Miki's "Aenai Negai Nichiyoubi". They didn't show everyone, but they featured some of the singers in their audition (Yonemura, Kubota, Hirayama, Yofuu, Yamada). They didn't show the audition clips of the winners until they were selected.
- The judges have made their selection. Ueno-sensei announced it will be Ishiguri Kanami, and Kitahara Momo for the Tokyo shows, and Nishizaki Miku, and Arisawa Ichika for the Osaka shows. They were pretty happy, especially Nishizaki.

- At the end of show, they showed quick clips of the Kenshuusei Recital from yesterday, including the "Seishun Collection" performance. Right after that, the Kenshuusei were beginning to perform the last song, but Makoto stepped in and said they have an announcement. Some of the girls were very surprised, that they forgot to social distance. Makoto reminded them to stand apart.
- Makoto announces Fukumura Mizuki will be making a "live report" for them. The members were surprised when she walked in.
- Fukumura says they are aiming to make a new Hello! Project group by the end of this year! She also announced that the Hello Pro Kenshuusei Unit members will be in this new group. Fukumura says there will be more members added to the group. The Kenshuusei have a significant chance to be in this group. Makoto emphasizes the word "Chance".
- Fukumura announces that Kenshuusei will have their own concert at Nakano Sun Plaza on April 17th. She says they usually perform "recitals" at Nakano Sun Plaza, but this time they will perform an actual concert there. The "Spring Ability Test" will be on May 3rd.
- Makoto gives the Kenshuusei words of encouragement and Mizuki is thankful and happy for making this announcement to the Kenshuusei. The Kenshuusei unit members have tears in their eyes.

Next week, as they walk into the studio, we will get see the moment it was decided that the Hello Pro Kenshuusei Unit members members will be in a new group. Plus more rare footage exclusive to Hello Dream. You've got to see this.

Looking at the preview for next week, I think the Kenshuusei Unit members were already told beforehand about an announcement for them (whether they were told they would debut or a new group would be formed). Still, they had genuine tears when it was announced at the recital.

I'm excited to see the initial reactions no matter what, but I do hope there's a version they put on YT too; much easier to revisit and share with new fans in the future without having to worry about TV Tokyo takedowns.

Kubota Nanami

There was an announcement today.
The Kenshuusei unit, which consisted of me (Kubota), Yonemura, Ishiguri and Madoka, has decided to become a part of the new Hello Project group!

They're also adding more members! I'm looking forward to seeing who's coming to join us!

To be honest, recently I was wondering if I should quit the Kenshuusei unit.

We all shared the same opinion that we love this activity and want to continue. But I was really worried if I could stay here.

At that time, I was really grateful for this great news.

When I heard this news, I wanted to tell everyone who supports me as soon as possible!

As a Kenshuusei, I really didn't know if I'll be able to make my debut and I don't know what will happen, so I'm sure the people who support me have a lot of anxiety.

Thank you for always supporting us in this situation.

I am filled with gratitude.

Now we are finally at the starting point.

We have a lot of work to do, including a weakness for high notes. We are well aware of this. We believe that we can do it if we practice, so we'd be happy if you could support us!

And I'm inferior to the other three in many ways.
Some of you may wonder "Why is that Kubota?" But someday I'll be able to say "I'm glad Kubota is here! I want to support her!" I'll do my best to be a wonderful person!

Ishiguri Kanami

At the first of these performances, it was announced that they would be aiming to form a new Hello Project group by the end of the year.

We, the four members of the Hello Pro Kenshuusei Unit, have been chosen as its members.

Thank you very much!

When we heard about this project, we were very anxious about the new members and the fact that our debut date had not been decided yet.

But today, after the announcement in front of everyone, we felt relieved and realized that we can really debut.

When I saw the fans who always come to the venue crying, I thought to myself that I definitely don't want them to cry when we cry, and I felt the warmth of the fans.

It was a very long time, about four and a half years. It was not a blink of an eye.
But the reason I was able to continue my trainee activities for four and a half years was because, I myself love singing, dancing and Hello! Project, and the support of my fans has given me a place to perform.
The people at the office made it possible for me to perform with the wonderful members, and I feel again that I have been supported by so many people.

Thank you very much.

Saito Madoka

It's been about a year and a half since the Halo Pro Trainee Unit was formed.
When Ken-uni was formed, I was in my second year of high school, about half a year after joining the trainee unit.
To be honest, I had nothing but anxiety and wondered for a long time if it was okay for me to be in the trainee unit. I'm sure some of you are wondering the same thing.
I still think about it every now and then.
If it hadn't been for the trainee unit, I wouldn't have been able to build the relationship with Yonemura, Ishiguri and Kubota that I have now.
Even though I'm not good at detailed choreography, they accompany me until I can do it, and they are fun to be with.
Many of you may have been disappointed to see me crying and getting angry at performances that I shouldn't have shown you, despite the fact that the other members of Ken-Unit members won prizes in the performance test and were glittering.
Even now, I don't think I've changed much in terms of my clunkiness.
But now that I'm going to be a member of Hello Project, I want to improve in my own clunky way so that I can live up to the name of Hello Project, and make a good start so that I don't drag down the other three members of Ken-unit and whoever will be joining us in the future!
I hope that you will continue to watch over me.

Yonemura Kirara

I was so nervous from this morning!

After all, it's been a long time since I've been to ZeppTokyo!

When I was stretching, I could see the stage from the audience seats, and it was so huge. I was so nervous!

I get more nervous looking at the stage from the audience than standing on the stage!

This is something I've noticed recently.

I've noticed that recently, but I think I was able to keep my head calm and collected during the performance!

I'll try my best to keep this nervousness in mind for next week's performance in Osaka!

I had a great time at Zepp Tokyo!

We had a lot of fun at Zepp Tokyo. And at the noon performance today, they made an announcement.

And as announced at today's lunchtime performance, the four members of the Kenshuusei Unit will become members of a new group!

We've been working hard together for a year and a half, so we're very happy!

Thank you so much for all your support, and please continue to support us.

Until we add more members and make our official debut, we will do our best to polish our skills and become stronger idols!

"Animal Land" kind of sounds like it would be at home in a musical.

Ichika out here again with the great English messages. It feels natural, stretched words for emphasis and everything.

That is pretty good. If she debuts, I would like to know more about her English skills.
