Hello! Project Shakes Things Up

2017 is shaping up to be a very iconic year for Hello! Project, for better and worse. Among the many announcements and events that have happened already, the ones that stand out the most are: the recent disbandment of °C-ute, the announcement of Country Girls’ new shuffle style and slowdown, the announcement of Haruka Kudo’s graduation, Momoko Tsugunaga’s upcoming graduation. Now we have another huge set of announcements that were made in today’s Hello! Station (being mentioned in the same order they were made in the video).

- Ruru Danbara (Hello! Project Kenshuusei) is now a new member in Juice=Juice
- Nanami Yanagawa (Country Girls) is now a part of Juice=Juice
- Chisaki Morito (Country Girls) is now a part of Morning Musume。‘17
- Reina Ichioka (Hello! Project Kenshuusei) is now the leader of an unannounced brand-new group
- Musubu Funaki (Country Girls) is now a part of ANGERME
- Ayano Kawamura (Hello! Project Kenshuusei) is now a new member in ANGERME

All of these new additions/shuffles will be in full effect starting with the first day (July 15th) of the Hello! Project Summer Concert Tour. While there are many mixed reactions from fans, Hello! Project is established on the concept of change, so all we can do is sit back and see how things turn out. Let’s do our best to continue to support all the lovely groups of Hello! Project as they go through this intriguing change!
