Oh did you just see that now LOL

Why does that matter as long as the girl is good?

It doesn't I just feel bad for them. Also they have had more training and are more ready to debut. The new girls need more training! Plus I love Karin

[iceymoon]

what constitutes a generation in eggs, i wonder? afaik it's kind of determined by fans, not officially acknowledged.. so if it's up to interpretation i would put Fuyuka, Aarii & Mizuki as 13th gen, and RikoRiko & MinaMina as 14th.

not sure about Rise, i guess 13th. i feel like we didn't learn about her until some time after Mizuki (and even longer after Fuyuka & Aarii were anounced) but she also seems like she's been around longer than we realized.. certainly longer than RikoRiko & MinaMina.

not that it matters too much, just over-analyzing like usual.

[Sohee]

Riko and Minami are no way in the same generation as Fuyuka & the others. o_O They were introduced at Fuyuka's 2nd concert. Speaks for itself imo.

Poor Rie can't catch a break

[iceymoon]

maybe she'll have better luck outside of H!P.

[Starra]

Maybe. I mean, hey, look at Nakayama Nana! Er, I'm sorry -- I mean Yamada Nana.

^ x4 What's Hello! Ranking?

[Starra]

A not-yet-finished ranking/database site for all things H!P. Icey and her husband have been working on it for a few years. I've been adding info for a while (and so have Sada and Nayoko), so I have access to the member info and stuff. It had join dates for all the KSS, so I used that .

It's going to be really awesome once (if ) it goes live! I'm going to be promoting the shit out of it, so you guys better rank stuff.

[Menno]

I color coded the generation list by activity status when the members graduated as a Egg/Kenhshuusei. I also added Saho Akari, Sekine Azusa that were not on the list.
