^ Guess we'll have to wait for the recording to come out as some reports have them as a new unit.

Anyways congrats to 17th gen.

When Ichioka Reina joins H!P, all 6 members of the Kenshuusei 17th gen will have debuted.

You're a bit late, bud.

IICHAAANNNNNN. RURUUUUUUU.

Some of this seems potentially exciting and the rest seems confusing and possibly disappointing. I hope it's a brand new group for the three they're setting up for debut. I want more details on whatever they're trying to do with Momohime and Kurumi; if it's anything like Engeki / the final stop for them in terms of "debut" they'll be far less visible to international fans than they already are as Kenshuusei.

Hoping it doesn't take too long for a recording to be uploaded so we can get some clarification.

Kenshuusei section, not selection.

SHOOK. yes my bbs Ayano and Reina are debuting!!

Now we just need Yuhane and Kokoro to debut!

I dunno. All three of them are tall and slim, aren't they? That would make for an interesting image for a new unit. Maybe Perfume-esque.

I'm uploading the Test right now. I can hear him say "atarashii unit". Hopefully someone fluent in Japanese can help.
Also of note we almost had a Steve Harvey moment. When the announcement was made the first name called out was Kawamura Hikaru.

Add Riho and or Manaka with those three kenshuusei and you'd have one killer unit. I love a good pipe dream.
