When Kinpuri debuted, never expected they will be really successful. Especially with Genki on sudden hiatus, and their inner fandom fight a lot. At least jimusho can rest assure now, they have Arashi successor.

Quote from auspop

In Girls'Channel people always said that Kinpuri could be Arashi's successor, even though Snow Man sells more

Maybe because kinpuri always tops the popularity voting?

But seriously, Snowman has a big-dedicated fandom. The original 6 members have been waiting longer than sixtones to debut. I'm just glad seeing them getting more successful now. I don't stan them, but I supported them since Takizawa Kabuki and Shounentachi.

will be interesting the competition between Kinpuri and Snow Man to see which will be the next number 1 group in Japan

I'm a little bit sad with HSJ tho. Are they declining?

Jimusho seems pushing younger groups more. 3 groups are rising fast now:Sixtones, Kinpuri, Snowman.

Quote from auspop

lol naniwa on the list, and they haven't even debuted yet, great.

Yassshh.... their YT views seem the highest too in Johnny Jr channel. I support my son, Michieda Shunsuke

This boy seems gotten pushed lately, I watched his drama with Tomoya Nagase, darn he grows quite tall.

Quote from auspop

Yes, JUMP has declined, groups like SZ and WEST are outpacing JUMP and Kisumai singles sales, although they still have strong individual names, Yamada is still one of the most important idols in Japan.

Yes, I saw Yamada still topping Johnny's popularity voting. I guess individual wise, other members also still quite strong especially as MC and in variety shows. But as a group....

Quote from auspop

Yes, they with Traja are the most popular juniors, they should debut soon

Traja doesn't have strong vocalist unlike Sixtones, Kinpuri and Snowman, but imo they're great dancers. It's so satisfying to see their performance.

I wonder if company planned debut naniwa and traja at the same times, just like sixtones-snowman before. But naniwa is kansai group.

Jwest just debut in random time before.

I don't want a plot twist like hihijet vs bishounen. I don't hate them, but....

Also where's ABCZ?
