Takagi Sayuki is thrilled about the Kenshuusei unit

Yep:

I’m really really really
Glad。

When I heard about these members、
Tears flowed。
Due to joy, of course。

When Hamaura Ayano-chan saw me crying、 she said 「Sayuki-chan、 I thought you cried because you hated having a new unit」、
Not a single such thought crossed my mind。

My beloved Hello! Pro Kenshuusei juniors…
8 of them at that！！…
I’m really glad。

Taguchi Natsumi、 Hamaura Ayano-chan、 Ogawa Rena-chan、 Nomura Minami-chan
I’ve been active together in the Hello! Pro Kenshuusei for the longest time with these 4 in particular、
I’ve told them off countless times、 but despite that, they’d always come to me with a 「Sayuki-chaーn」 「Takagi-saーn」…

They’re really cute、 I love them。
So I’m really glad。

You know、 Nomura didn’t even know how to tie her shoelaces。 lol
Since I taught her！！lol
How nostalgic～。

These girls have worked that hard、
Being selected for a new unit like this、 the joy just doesn’t stop。

But、 we have to do our best too！！
So that we don’t lose to the new members, with their vigour。
We should always be at full force, right。

Since they’re doing their best、
It’d make me glad if you went to the events and concerts of the new members、

But don’t forget about us、
Please come and see Juice=Juice too。

Hirose-chan、 Inoue-chan、 Fujii-chan、 Sako、 Renako、 Nomura、 Hamasuke、 Taguchi…
Many、 many congratulations。

Not to sound a morbid note, but I wonder if the new unit will break the curse of 8-member trainee groups (one member will drop out before the major debut)?

[Mixi]

^ Maiha graduated 1.5 years after Berryz released Anata nashi, their major debut single. Juice=Juice was 6nin until Aina graduated. Your "curse" is only °C-ute with Megumi graduating before Sakura Chirari.

...We all know that one of these girls is going to graduate pretty early on, as seems to always be.
I say one is going to graduate approx. October of next year. xD So they'll be 7nin for the rest.
Also omg from the video rika-chan put together, here are the girls I thought sang best: Nomura Minami, Hamaura (except her voice is too high pitched...) Wada Sakurako (holy shit her voice is amazing >.>)... Also why did they put certain girls in instead of Kaede? >.> She sings better than a lot of these. xD

Well the most experienced eggs were chosen minus RikoRiko sadly. (I guess she isn't ready )

And then RioRio and Sakurako.

Sakurako won some awards and sings very very well. I'm not surprised she was chosen.

RioRio is the surprise but I love her so I don't mind.

The two NGP trainees I don't know well. Perhaps they are two of the most experienced or two of the most skilled.

[Mirai]

Yay, I am so happy for a new group and that so many KSS are debuting! Especially glad to see Hamachan, Sakurako, and Rena in the group.

[Starra]

Minamina and Tagucchi don't look that similar, y'all.

[Jessi]

They don't look the same at all!

Personally I think Tagucchi is cuter !

But MinaMina is cute too <3

I'm kinda sad she didn't end up in a group with RikoRiko

[erin]

Sakurako and Ayano are my favorites.

[Denki]

@starra: I was making a joke. they have a similar aura (I do agree that they have distinct facial features), so I was mocking the people who once believed Tsuji and Kago were twins when they don't look alike at all.
