Tsubaki needs 1 to get back to 9. Preferably a member that is a bit older.
Juice=Juice needs 2 to get them back to 9. Maybe 3 if they are thinking of the future.
I wish the staff would do the twitter update thing again, and not leave us in the dark. Show some of that transparency.

The most common is that they add 1 girl to Tsubaki Factory and 2 to Juice = Juice, but I don't know if they will continue in that line or surprise us.
If they should report how they will audition, because I do not know why they will report. I am looking forward to hearing more news.

The Platinum era template.
Not too big, not too small.
Uneven number for the clear center.
So yeah, what Amped said.
-------------------------
Although uneven does take precedent over raw numbers. To my preference at least.
Take the new unit, I'd prefer them ending up with 5 or 7 members over say 6 or 8.
I have not had a preference on an exact number of members, I think I would like more than 9 members but not like Morning Musume, which with the current line of 14 is too much for me.
I liked the line with the 9th, 10th and 11th of Morning Musume.

Maximum would be 3-4 members. I won’t be surprised if they do the 3 member winner just as they done for ANGERME Morning Musume and BEYOOOONDS (even though technically they had 4 winners for that audition specifically) it would come full circle if J=J and Tsubaki Factory had the same result.

As for the new unit... I feel like there wouldn’t be an audition for them just yet but merely they will add more kenshuusei into the unit when they debut. Given their number now I’d say 2-4 may be added.
I would like around 3 for each group, but I don't know what they will do.
I think it will be 2 for Tsubaki Factory and 3 for Juice = Juice, maybe in case there is a surprise graduation, although of course, Juice = Juice recently entered Inoue Rei, and maybe if 3 enter, they would cover her a bit from her debut.
I also think they will do 1 Kenshuusei and 1 or 2 outside.
What I don't like very much is that they add them at a very old age, as soon as I was already in the Kenshuusei and there was no other way, I mean that I like that they enter the group smaller and see them grow and evolve vocally.
For example, in Angerme, I like Wakana who entered at 13 and if the audition had been resolved earlier, it would have been at the age of 12. I also like Rin and Shion, the truth that that generation promises, although for my taste they entered more older, for example Kawana Rin will turn 18 this year.
But it is a preference not a requirement, equally the person who enters being good for the group, is more than welcome regardless of age.
About the new group, I love Kirara, she has a very pretty and innocent look and expression.
I think they will take the older Kenshuusei to debut in the new group, but I read about a performance they did recently, together with Nishizaki Miku, Ebata Kisaki, Hiromoto Ruli and Yofu Runo, and I don't know by what means that could be the future selected for the group.
Let's see how they surprise us, I'm looking forward to knowing the line-up and hearing them sing, I hope they do it soon.
