The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[Idol Tenshoku Ondo]

^ not surprised at all. The plans looked like an astronomical money sink.

[DJChisato1]

So, I know this won't happen but shouldn't Kasai Yuumi be the next TF leader?
She seems to already be the shadow leader.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

There's been more misses/mids than hits for me lately, in regards to H!P music, and it's sucks. That is all.

[Spaghetti-Western]

What do people think about Instagram (re-)enabling the visibility of number of likes? Airi gets like 50k likes, Sayu and Reina get over 10k, and normal is a few thousand it seems. Some accounts have it disabled I think. This is new to me, as I was not an Insta user back when they were enabled.

[Zunu]

I didn't notice that it was ever disabled tbh. But I would think it would be in the interest of H!P to disable the "like" count, since their stuff doesn't get nearly the likes of more popular groups, and within H!P there's a vast discrepancy between the popularity of the various members, which has to be a little demoralizing to some.

[Spaghetti-Western]

Yeah exactly, I am a little worried about the demoralizing factor. But I guess management did it for a reason. It could be an incentive to comment more, because nobody is going to notice your 'like'! out of 3k, but one comment out of a hundred, sure they'll probably read that.
