The H!P Musings/Rants Thread

[DJChisato1]

What would be more wild, Oda gets it or Miki gets it?

[sukibeam]

If you include Kenshuusei trainee periods, Maria is 2nd behind Oda for total H!P tenure if you want something wild.

[DJChisato1]

I could see Oda getting it. I'd be fitting.

Miki is made Prime Minister

Oda then becomes Empress.

We got two H!P groups with very new and inexperienced leaders, Nonaka Miki and Ise Layla. I think the H!P leader should be Dambara Ruru.

Why not Ami? As long as she hasn't announced graduating. Her graduation must be cooking though and I think it'll get announced soon. Maybe one of the other semi-OG9 first but it'll come either way.

Of course at the end of the day I'm 99% sure they sunsetted the H!P leader position after Mizuki so whatever.

So we have two seniority lists we can go by. Time is KKS vs Time in H!P as a debuted member and then age as a factor. It's a really tangled web in all honesty.

Top 10 Seniority with Time in KSS Included is as follows. (This excludes Oda because she's graduating)

Makino Maria
Danbara Ruru
Nonaka Miki* Not KSS but still outranks the ones below her due to time in H!P.
Tanmoto Ami
Onoda Saori
Inoue Rei
Takase Kuruki
Ono Mizuho
Maeda Kokoro
Akiyama Mao

Top 10 Seniority in H!P (Age not including KSS)

Nonaka Miki
Makino Maria
Inoue Rei
Tanimoto Ami
Ono Mizuho
Onoda Saori
Akiyama Mao
Danabra Ruru
Takase Kurumi
Kiyono Momohime or Maede Kokoro if you want to take into account that Momohime was removed from KSS before Beyooooonds was formed.


I have a feeling they just did away with the H!P Leader role because it was outdated and its just become way too confusing considering the amount of members now coming straight out of the KSS.

^ Thanks for the breakdown! lol. Getting rid of the position does really make some sense when it's hard for anybody to keep track without data sheets, afaik the position didn't achieve much anyway.

Momochi's influence still endures even outside H!P.

Turns out she was not the only Hololive member inspired by her. Now graduated member Minato Aqua had this to say in a April 2024 interview.

"Although she has already retired from the entertainment industry, I was impressed by Momochi (Tsunaga Momoko)'s professionalism. Although she appears cheerful on the surface, deep down she is someone who is very particular about what she does.
I was thinking, "What kind of idol do I want to be?" and researching idols from all over the world, past and present, when I learned about Momochi. From then on, I too, didn't just aim to be an idol vaguely, but I wanted to become an idol with some kind of commitment and core to myself. For example, being honest with your fans, and continuing to work hard to achieve the goals you set for yourself, no matter how many years it may take. I think that an idol like Momochi is my ideal." (Minato Aqua)

Truly Momochi had an impact on an entire generation of idols of all kinds.
