More Revivals
The surprises keep coming. It seems that not only will MiniMoni be reformed, but new units for Pucchimoni and Tanpopo are also in the works. It’s not clear at this point whether or not these units will be releasing new material or just be concert/ cover album units, but it’s certainly…interesting news. I’m pretty much behind the Minimoni idea, because, as I’ve said, I think there is a need in h!p for a more kid-oriented group right now. Pucchimoni and Tanpopo though… I dunno. Is there really a gap there that these kind of units can fill?
Actually, from Tsunku’s blog entries so far I’ve gotten the impression that MiniMoni will be doing new songs and whatnot, but the other two probably aren’t… but I could be totally wrong about that. We’ll just have to wait and see!
The members of the other two revived h!p units will be announced at the summer concert, so we’ve got like a month to speculate. I like to get my speculation done early though, so here’s who I think should be included.
MiniMoni- Already talked about this, but besides LinLin and Kanon, I would pick Momoko and Maeda Irori (egg). The first two members announced were such good choices though, that it almost doesn’t matter who the other two are.
Tanpopo- Risa (because she has Tanpopo experience. Also because I adore her), Maimi (I find it hard to imagine a scenario where Maimi is left out of this shuffle extravaganza), Eri (she’s just got the right voice for it), Maeda Yuuka (to add youth and cuteness). This is what I’d hope for, but I bet ManoEri gets in somehow.
Pucchi Moni- Maasa (has gained popularity lately. it’s about time for her to be in a subunit, and pucchimoni would be a good fit. She’ll be Yossie), Noto Arisa (soo cute in Eggs performance of Chokkoto Love. She’ll be Kei), Reina (and she’ll be Goto, since she idolizes her! It’s perfect!)
I’ve tried to include at least one member of Momusu, one of the kids groups, and one of the eggs in each unit for balance and the true “shuffle” experience. It’s going to feel like a long time to wait until we find out who’s in for real.

I think Momoko can’t be in this unit, because since LinLin is the lider there would be conflicts about sempai-ness (lol) and such. So I guess it would be a Lin+eggs group. Besides that, I hope Minimoni would be a real unit, & realese their own material >.< is great that you have understand that from Tsunko’s blog ^-^!
Apart from that, I would like JunJun be part of either of Puchi or Tampopo. I think she deserves it too, the pandas had been really shafted in this two years. Or maybe a duo with Koha?! lol, wouldn’t be great the two doing catchy songs and fighting with each other in variety shows? Their voices blend good too.
Great Blog! salutes
I dunno about that. LinLin is older than Momoko, so that makes her qualified to lead. And H!p doesn’t even always follow that rule. Reina was leader of High King, not Ai-chan.
I think Kikka would be a good fit in either Tanpopo or Pucchi Moni. It’s hard to believe she hasn’t done more than Milky Way.
I like the idea of Nocchi in Pucchi Moni.
