Hello Pro Wota from across the country got together for the 4th time for a brass band session to play "Wake-up Call ~Mezameru Toki~" (Morning Musume. '23)

From another thread…

Hello! Pro Kenshuusei Unit '24 has been added to the list to performing at comedian Kuro-chan's 5th annual "Kuro Fes. 2024" Idol Festival.

Huh. Two things…

First, Kuro-chan is known to be a bit of a creep (not dangerous, just weaselly and pathetic), as has been well documented on Wednesday Downtown (especially the "Monster 〇〇" specials), so there is a meta-factor to him having his own idol festival.

And second, he also does a boat race show on Abema with MM OG Reina Tanaka:

Hello! Project Digital Collection

[Shoujo Q]

I've been working on this for months now. It's almost done, but like anything, I've been staring at it for MONTHS and I know there are things wrong with it. So I'd like another set of eyes to look it over and see if they can find glaring flaws.

Hello!Project Growth Chart

It started as a seniority chart and then it sort of snowballed into this massive list of groups and members.

[Zunu]

OK that totally changed from when I was looking at it earlier.

Looks good. One major typo is that you have Ikuta's name as Iikuta.
And, not important but wondering why you have Momoko's name in peach on line 178 and the word "GENERATION" in all caps on line 252?

Also, if bold type is meant to signify H!P/KSS leaders, I don't believe that Ikuta has yet been officially appointed as H!P leader (line 278).
And according to the Fandom site, Inoue Hikaru was the KSS leader in 2017 (line 209).
My apologies if I am misunderstanding the meaning of the bold type.

[Shoujo Q]

Yeah the bold is for leaders.

Momoko was in peach because she was also a member of Country Girls. In hindsight I realize I now need to fix it for the other Country girls when they got placed into the other groups later after Momoko left. I did the same for Rika when she was in V-u-den and now I realize a bunch of other stuff I forgot to add.

As an aside the H!P wiki is good for finding stuff but also they omit certain things that I uncover after a deep dive when I do stuff like this.

"M-line club is a fanclub for UP-FRONT members who have graduated (mainly) from Hello! Project."

It has been bothering me for awhile that they add the caveat (Mainly or Mostly). There are no M-line Club members who didn't graduate from H!P.

Bitter & Sweet are apart of M-line Music but not M-line club. Am I missing something?

[Shoujo Q]

Pink Cres and Lovendor were both associated with M-Line Club back when they were active. None of the members of said groups aside from Reina or Miyabi were apart of Hello!Project. But currently there are no groups in M-Line Club with members that aren’t graduates of Hello!Project.

Bitter & Sweet has their own fan club not associated with M-Line Club.
