So Tanaka Natsumi, Sakaguchi Riko and Anai Chihiro </3 are out, with Inoue Yuriya, Tanaka Yuka and AOI in.

And a whole new center?!
Shut the front door.
Well done Hana, that's quite the impression you've made! :O

 

they seems to put so much faith in Hana eh

 

My girl Hana! I'm so glad! Kinda sad for Boss though.
Wow so every group but NGT is releasing a single this summer, cool!

 

After TII zero result in SSK? Yeah, the airdrop is justified.
Goto must be happy, lol.

No tears shed for Boss and Rikopi, they've done well, just like Aoi. Time for Yuriya and Yutan to prove themselves.

 

i think hana was ume-type at first sight, so, I'm surprised with the choice management took to get her as cute type, and became center in some songs. And it's not new that she'll be the center in the new single when team TII formed ( I think it's in 74okubun, but they had already announced kodama as center, so yeah..)

 

So I can safely assume that Hana is also the center for TII?

 

Hana is most definitely the TII center/ace.
Both in the few performances they've done, and in sales lol.
She sells a lot compared to how long she's been around and compared to others, it's quite impressive.
So not that surprising that they'd bank on it.

Maybe gives TII itself some spotlight too. Actually letting more people know it exists lol.

Also very glad to see Yuriya. And Yuutan I didn't expect, but I guess they're banking on other aspects than sales with her, lol.

 

I'm still wonder why Mirun didn't get a chance to enter senbatsu.
I mean she's the 3rd of 3rd gen's most popular after NakoMiku, isn't it?

About Yuutan, so happy and surprised! Yuriya tho (as expected)

 

Quite surprised about Hana because I expect Nako/Miku to be center
Good luck for her anyway.
And Yuriya finally in senbatsu

 

Goto-san must be sooooooooooooo happy about this, yelling "HAAAAAAAAAAAANA-CHAN!!" all over his house xD
It's good to have a different center this time...

 

If this single is going to continue the Diamond/Platinum Girls thing, who would fill the 16th spot of Diamond Girls?

 

Since the last single, there has been a new team and a new gen so I'm inclined to think that they'll do B-sides around them instead of another round of duets, ect like on the 7th.

 

YU-RI-YA YU RI YA

YU. RI. YA.

anyway. Aoi baby is back!! Mgmt has repented of their error.
Of course, I always like to see Haruppi in center but I'm perfectly fine with Hana there. Keeps things fresh. And I can't wait to see an HKT single with full teams. It doesn't seem like it would make that much difference, not even wanting team songs or anything, it's just that HKT feels more complete with all three teams. Even if one of them is small hehe. With the 4th gen here I'm sure the next thing people will be chattering about is promotions and team shuffling. It's a while out, certainly, but I think it's pretty unlikely mgmt will just promote a whole lot of them to TII and call it good. So that may be down the road.

Anyway I'm pretty excited about this single.

 

Congrats for the Yuutan and Yuriya!!
Welcome back my Aoi!!!
Congrats for Hana center tho

But still a little bit sad no Aanya in senbatsu again

 

I don't know much about Hana, but an all new center it's definitely a good thing right now, congrats! Sad about Rikopi though, I was hoping the ssk won't affect her this much. On the other hand... Aoitan is back! Yay!!
Since they got a bit younger center I'm hoping for a hktish song don't dare to go all grown-up, please .

 

Yuriya and Aoi make sense being in senbatsu based on their sousenkyo rankings, but Tanaka Yuuka is a big surprise. She didn't rank, and I didn't think she was very popular.

 

So they are serious about Hana!
Congrats to Yuttan and Yuriya! And Aoi's comeback!
I expected Tomiyoshi to be in tho...

 

Yuriya in senbatsu proves that being ranked in Sousenkyo does mean a thing.
Close call between tomiyoshi and Tanaka Yuka, but for obvious reason they went along with Yuutan and her Gravure debut.

Chihiro departure allow new blood in HKT senbatsu. thanks to that, they can keep matsuoka hana in senbatsu without sacrificing Aoi.
