The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[Sohee]

Momochi was never my type of idol, and Michishige's whole cutesy thing was annoying too.
But damn I respect these girls who go this route and keeps it up through everything so much. @.@

[DJChisato1]

OK hear me out. We got Triangrove 2, How about Full Charge 2?

BTW This will never not be funny.

MYERA collab with ANGERME - Lie Lie Lie Lie (MYERA)


MYERA Tanaka Koto was a trainee with MOMONA in Produce 101 Japan

We already know that Tsubaki Factory's Doi Fuka, using her alias "Gummi", participated in the "IDOL3.0 PROJECT" audition two years ago (trying to copy Produce 101) to form Akimoto Yasushi's not so popular idol group White Scorpion, but she was eliminated. She appears briefly in this documentary about the final round of the audition training camp. She is in group B.

Current Hello Pro Kenshuusei Miyakoshi Chihiro was also in the final round of the audition. Her alias was "Vanilla", but she was eliminated too. She is in group A.

I'm 99% sure I was on the train yesterday next to Sugihara Mesa and her parents. I wasn't paying attention until she said KSS. She looked super familiar but I couldn't put a name to the face at the time.

[Zunu]

I have no idea who you are talking about but she probably would've been incredibly thrilled if a foreigner had recognized her

Haven't seen one of these in a while: a young fan goes to an H!P concert…



Looking at her back catalog, she goes to a lot of H!P concerts.

[JonCC]

She's cute. She should consider applying for the 2025 audition.

Edit:
Ah, from her channel description that's probably what she will do.

The path to becoming an idol (Hello! Project live concert tours, idol travel vlogs, idol study sessions, Koharu's own performances, etc.)

Another Koharu.
Of course her mother's a fan too. It's always the wota parents influence.

Wait, she even does her own take on Omake channel segments?

Sign her up.

[Celedam]

The H!P audition process tends to reject try-hards as lacking sincerity or authenticity.

She might be naturally like that, of course. She might be good as an Oha Girl, or something like that, if she were to audition for that. She might even succeed entirely on her own, through her channel. But it's not quite the same vibe. H!P favors girls who always seem surprised that they've made it as far as they have; every step forward is a revelation, for both the girl and the audience. I don't get that from her.

(it still blows my mind that Ikuta was an Oha Girl.)

Having gone down the Hololive rabbit hole a bit, it seems to me that H!P (or rather the H!P fandom) really could do with more clippers.
Specifically when it comes to English subtitled ones it's really only Ice Cream & My Jiggly doing any regular work.

Go over to the Vtuber side, and there's more subtitled clips than you can watch in a lifetime.
You can spend a good few hours going from one recommended video to the other.
It's an incredibly easy way to get into a particular group of idols this way.

And probably one of the few times I'd say the Youtube algorithm is fullfilling it's intended purpose.
