Niigaki Risa graduated at Nippon Budokan [5/18]

[Menno]

The H!P Kids audition was before the 6th Generation edition, if it comes to seniority in the company should indeed become the H!P leader. If they decide on being active in an actual releasing group or age then it will be Sayumi. We´ll have to see how it turns out since this never happened before because of Yuko being the H!P leader from the start until the big OG graduation.

But, we can't forget that MM is supposed to be the flagship group of H!P

Besides, remember when Miki was leader despite her debuting later than 5th gen?

[danzarely]

^That was a unique situation, Miki was an established idol in her own right and had the maturity and experience the 5thgen did not- it just would have made no sense to put someone who could arguably be her "kouhai" as the leader.

That being said I wouldn't be surprised if Saki is made leader of H!P one day, but I doubt that would be before Reina and Sayu, as it's been pointed out MM is the flagship group, but I can't see Aika being H!P leader before Saki who has years of experience on her.

[iceymoon]

true, the Miki leadership was more a decision based on age and her role within the group rather than actual technical seniority.
so UF will make whoever they want leader.

but i still think it will be Sayu. because of the debut thing, because she's the most well-known member now, and because i think they'd like to keep the leader being a Momusu member until they can't justify it anymore.

HI TETH!! ^-^
nice to see you made it to Jplop. :3 it's always nice to see familiar faces (and by faces i mean usernames)~ i'm still finding people who managed to move over that i thought were gone for good.

So if Sayu Reina BeriKyuu graduate, Ayacho would be H!P leader?

[RpgN]

This is way sooner than expected but I guess there's no stopping it. The feel of the group changed rapidly the moment 10th gen came and Ai left. It was difficult when Eri, Junjun and Lin Lin left but there was no change in the dynamic of the group. Now, the rest of the senior members feel odd being still in the group as hard as it is for me to say that. Can't believe we only have Reina, Sayumi and Aika left. It feels like such an odd time to be in. On one hand I don't feel like it's a MM group anymore, on the other, I like the new girls *confused*

I liked Risa a lot, she was always the strict one keeping everyone in check. She had her own pleasant voice and style to offer, she's going to be missed

So if Sayu Reina BeriKyuu graduate, Ayacho would be H!P leader?

Nope,assuming that we're still discounting Mitsui, it'd be Mano. She graduated from Eggs on March 29, 2008 to be a soloist. S/mileage didn't graduate from Eggs until 2010.

I had a dream last night Gaki graduated in that awful pyocopyoco outfit..and as a special surprise the pandas were being re-added to the group @_@ omg that would be so cool....

[321BreakinOut]

So...Sayu is going to be Musume's new Leader..But Captain is going to be H!P's leader o.0
