Now, for this year:
Hopes:
First Single is "Silent Majority" level!!!!
More Members get a rank; or i shall said, NAKAI RIKA

The debut single flops

Predictions:
Debut single is good, but not "silent majority" level.
Katomina/Okappa will became the second case of "losing the original center" for a debut single.
Since Sony manages the CDs, something will be different from the other 48groups.
