the first of many new units to formed from Kenshuusei members has been decided and announced at the H!P concert. several more units from Kenshuusei will be announced this year and next year. for now they'll probably be starting under indies until their major debut decision has been made by Tsunku. He says when the time comes to decide their major debut, he could possibly add or remove members to finalize this unit, and also the official H!P unit name will be decided.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiPtFSuoR4w http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h65TxRUh8S0Juice=Juice's 3rd single is a warm medium song with a beautiful melody.
For their 1st and 2nd they had minor songs, made them able to start off with a cool image.
They have grown a bit lately and so let's take a deep breath.
I want you to feel that these girls can do a lot of different things and while in the previous MVs
they weren't allowed to smile pointlessly, for this one I want them to smile a lot.
Their image is completely different for this 3rd single, so I hope you look forward to it.
And this song, "Ten made nobore!" will also be Hello!Pro Kenshuusei's 2nd indies single.
We'll call it "Hello!Pro Kenshuusei feat. Juice=Juice.
Originally I wanted it to be the next theme song for the Kenshuusei. Some girls have been in for
several years aiming to debut. I made this song with these girls in mind, wanting them to aim
for the top and do their best!
If we're going to be picky, Juice=Juice's Miyazaki isn't a Kenshuusei, and I'm sure a lot of people
will point this out. But I've paid attention to her since the S/mileage audition so she's definitely
a big part of Hello! Project. Please let this be her chance to become a part of the group [T/N: H!P] too.
In the Juice=Juice version there will be solo parts and proper line distribution,
but for the Hello!Pro Kenshuusei feat. Juice=Juice version it's all unison.
Making it this way, makes one change the way we listen to the song.
The "Hello!Pro Kenshuusei feat. Juice=Juice" version is more liberal and energetic
but I'll have them sing it in a cool way.
They'll get new outfits too, showing their great growth, so please look forward to "Hello!Pro Kenshuusei feat. Juice=Juice"!

Tsunku's comments about the members :
[size=95]
Takagi Sayuki: During her Egg days, her character and positioning were characterized by her coming and wandering about, but after a year, this "Never mind those little things and go!" sort of state seems to have unleashed her spirit and she's become very charming. Something about her is also comforting. She has strength, so look forward to seeing her from now on.
Miyamoto Karin: When she was small, she would get stuck in her moods when she was feeling down, and at the time Tsunku thought, "If she's this hardened up while she's small, it's going to be rough later," but over the past year, she's unbelievably cleared that bad habit, and she's become very feminine. Because of that, she'll become a very important accent within this group.
Otsuka Aina: Even though she's fair-skinned and has a pure Japanese style about her, she's actually very strong-willed and hates to lose, a very strong girl. She loves dancing and singing and gives a feeling like she's bound to advance from the start and she already has. But, she still has a lot of rough edges, like keeping the rhythm or keeping subtle facial expressions, but if she can do that, she can go to the top. Practicing the basics, you know.
Uemura Akari: This girl is, after all, the spirit of the group. Well, she did have a knee injury at a critical time and got the flu and missed performances, but she's an interesting 'bad student.' Her face is very showy, and you can't help but notice her. No matter what she does, she will be the last member to accomplish it, but that aspect makes her development stand out and more remarkable. Look forward to her.
Kanazawa Tomoko: She has an interesting voice. It's by no means a voice that goes well into the microphone, but it's noticeable. She also has a good vibrato. It really catches your ear. Everyone else thought so too, right? She has a round, friendly face. It's the sort of face that makes you think of sitting out on the porch in summer and eating cold noodles lol.
Miyazaki Yuka: She always looks troubled, but she's really not lol. Her singing and dancing still have ways to go, but she has a particular flavor about her. Also, she feigns innocence. In reality she's probably a really funny, popular girl at school, perhaps surprisingly so. It might be the big break for JJ when she stops faking her naivete. Look forward to her.

Takagi Sayuki
Her singing is rock-type and her dancing is powerful, you'll get the feeling that she's THE haropro kenshuusei from her high skill level
Miyamoto Karin
Up until now she has participated in a few unit in Hello Project as someone with a real talent. Her chara is also strong
Ootsuka Aina
An exceptional person left from the final round of 9th generation Morning Musume Audition
Her voice quality through the mike is something that draws you in
Uemura Akari
She made it until the 3rd round of Morning Musume's 9th gen audition. She's still a novice in dancing and singing but that part also makes me smile. I'm expecting great things from her personality
Kanezawa Tomoko
One of the member of a group that took part in Berryz工房×℃-ute(ベリキュー)「超HAPPY SONG（シングルver.）」 karaoke contest with DAM★
She stood out there with her smiles and singing and then she joined haropro kenshuusei. She has just joined so she's the designated star rookie(?)
Miyazaki Yuka
Although she's not part of the current kenshuusei roster, she was one of the finalist in the 10th generation Morning Musume audition and the S/mileage new members recruitment. She's currently a part of the Satoyama Movement unit GREEN FIELDS and after seeing her accomplishments there I decided to add her in this new group
http://ameblo.jp/tsunku-blog/entry-11478354838.htmlTsunku calls them Ju=Ju for short.
https://twitter.com/tsunkuboy/status/312083714828025856He named it the hope that it want to become a unit that was fresh and full of personality and so on forever.
Still, the fact that it is not bright and cheerful childish, It is a good stretch while mature, to COOL, and can produce a sense of youth sizzle.

Karin loved Kirarin Revolution and after hearing Cute's song from a Kirarin album, she felt she wanted to join H!P. She won't lose to anyone in terms of being hyper on the stage and bouncing around. Karin respects Niigaki Risa and Matsuda Seiko.
Sayuki took the Egg Auditions that were being announced along with an article of Mano Erina, because she wanted to see how far her singing could take her, as she had confidence in it. She respects Tanaka Reina and Kobukuro.
