Leader Ichioka Reina has graduated from BEYOOOOONDS and Hello! Project on 3/1

Do we know if Icchan might be the leader of this new group? How come she’s the only one not dressed in all white for the reveal photos?

Good catch.

Someone is gathering former idols. It might be one of those people who want to get into the "I want to produce an idol group" trend.

Could it be that Ichioka is that "someone"?

Will the group be more or less of a "Meh" than Youplus?

Icchan was good because she was surrounded by great group mates.

A Class - Mainstream Idols : Morning Musume
B Class - Known, but less popular idols, Anime Idols, Virtual Idols : BEYOOOOONDS
C Class - Chika Idols (Underground) : Reve Pocket, Youplus
D Class - Dark, Alt Idols

Even though Reve Pocket performed as opening act at TCG, I don't think they'll be B Class level idols.

It was good to see her back on stage, she is by far the most talented but that song and way of singing...I couldn't make it past the 1 minute mark. Hard Pass.

P.S. Am I trippin or did she get a lil thick.

They have the generic idol group vocals lol. As long as shes happy i guess

I think it's cute! Maybe being in a smaller/lesser known group will be more beneficial for whatever health issue(s) she has going on.

Did you really put Beyo in the same category as Anime and virtual Idols?
The disrespect.

I fixed it for you

A Class - Mainstream Idols : Morning Musume
B Class - Known, but less popular idols, : BEYOOOOONDS, Atarashi Gakkou
C Class - Chika Idols (Underground) : Reve Pocket, Youplus
D Class - Anime Idols, Virtual Idols
E Class - Dark, Alt Idols

I'm not sure I'd put MM.'24 above B class. Morning Musume as a name, sure. But I don't think current MM. is that well known.

Ichioka Reina shares her feelings about her return in a statement.

I am sorry for the sudden announcement about the resumption of activities, and I apologize for causing you all concern.

Let me tell you what I want to tell you!

I am the person I am today because of my past precious experiences, precious time, and the support of my friends and fans who have worked together in friendly competition. All of them are irreplaceable treasures.

It is because of the past that I have become the person I am today, and I am able to safely greet this day.

I still have a lot of work to do, but I hope that together we can make my many dreams come true: the things I want to achieve, the things I want to do, the scenery I want to see, and the places I want to take my supporters.

Thank you for your continued support!

From Ichioka Reina

This could be a reason why Ichioka Reina left. She wants to perform with her sister freely like this.
