Tanapyon was my favorite KSS...
And Kurumi was among my favorite ones...
At least the other ones I really like have already or are debuting soon (Karin, Murotan).
Makes me wonder... I'd picked Tanapyon or Kurumin instead of that S/mileage new member (the one not being Rikako or Murotan... I don't even know her name ), or instead of Yamanaki Risa for Country Girls, both of those picked girls fail in the looks department imho. However, good looks and decent performance skills aren't enough in today's highly competitive scene, even within H!P. Maybe these girls lacked in the personality department or smtg. Obviously management saw they weren't ready or didn't fit any of those groups...
Anyway, I hope the best of luck for both of them, and I hope they can debut anywhere else! (but that they get at least some media attention, I really want to watch them )
