[GENERAL] The Sakamichi Series group thread

I feel like Hinata will take 2 to 3 members??? They are going steady and the members are selling all their handshake slots right now. I don't think they will risk putting certain members into under right now. Plus they have 19 members (18 active), adding 2 to 3 balances them back to that 21-22 members.
Keyaki meanwhile is in need of some big changes (including image). I feel like they will take more girls so they can test things. Plus they were originally going to start the senbatsu system but then now they are reverted back to 23 members (22 active). If they want to continue to do senbatsu, they will have to add a larger amount of members.
This is just my take. I would love to have Sato Rika and Masumoto Kira in Hinata. Moriya Rena seems to suit keyaki. I quite like Ozono Rei too.
Can't wait to see what happens today.

 

Strong dancers to Keyaki:

Matsuo Miyu
Takahashi Mikuni
Kosaka Marino
Matsuoka Manami

That's how I judge from their ability they have shown during the kenshusei tour and Takahiro judged their dance in Tokyo. Everybody else is a open field for any group.

 

Less than 2 hours left for the assignment, In my opinion all of them should go to Hinata so they can do a senbatsu system. I don't think any them will go to Nogi because the 4th gen is still fresh. So I think it'll end up being as I said it should, or 1-3 to Keyaki while the rest of the girls to Hinata.

 

I say nogi will get the least girls (1 or 2). And the rest will go to keyaki and hinata with hinata getting more. Just my guess

 

These girls are the ones who didn't pass the first sakamichi assignment for Nogi 4th gen and Keya 2nd, it's really hard there are top tier members there, so Nogi doesn't need much of them honestly, it's better that Keya and Hinata will get the most. There's already too much filler members in Nogi, I want quality over quantity.

 

It starts in a few minutes.

final bets everyone

mine will be 5 nogi, 7 keyaki and 3 to Hinata

-----

all new additions will be in the youngest gens of each group

 

2-3 is fine. Other much more need of extra breath than nogi.

 

5 girls will go to nogi:
kuromi haruka
sato rika
hayashi runa
matsuo miyu
yumiki nao

 

Looks like it's 5 - 5 - 5.

Matsuoka Manami withdrew.

 

^ with the withdrawal its 14 in total

 

^why did she withdraw?

Yeah we get kuromi. Still hope for moriya.
*and yumiki. Two of my bet made it through at least.
Still the total five inclusion feel a bit crowdy for nogi.

 

6 keyaki:
endo hikari
ozono rei
onuma akiho
kosaka marino
matsumoto kira
moriya rena

 

The joy I felt when Masumoto Kira's name was called!! I so wanted her in Keyaki! Hooray!!!

 

Didn't need to wait long for Sato Rika & Hayashi Runa to be called.

Welcome to Nogizaka: Kuromi Haruka, Matsuo Miyu & Yumiki Nao.

Goodluck to the rest of the girls. Hopefully a new beginning for Keyakizaka. Have fun, those who will join Hinata...

 

Matsuoka Manami, isn't she the girl that withdraw from Nogi 4th gen?

 

Wait, nope. After checking her profile it was Matsuo Miyu, and she's now a Nogi

 

I'm glad Hinata seem to have very fitting members
(and no need for an Under team for now)

 

I wonder what's her reason now
