^ this.
As for J=J "stagnating"... kind of happens when management only gives you new releases every 6-8 months for a couple years. With them supposedly deemed as C-ute's successor though, perhaps their production will increase. Still, I hope they remain a static lineup.
I wrote a big thing about placements on the other forum, and ultimately I feel like Country Girls would be a good place for all of them (though, all 3 being put in the same group seems unlikely). If a new unit is made, more KSS would need to be added, but after some consideration I hope this isn't the route management goes. I'd rather H!P focus on promoting what they have rather than spreading their resources even thinner with another unit. I want more material from each group (and regularly released albums again plz), and with their obviously small pool of lyricists/composers I feel like all the groups would suffer. There's a cycle of intensely focusing on one or two groups per year, and I'd rather not have to wait 4 years for it to be Dan-chan's turn again.
