2015 predictions, part 2

[faded_lace]

So I promised new thoughts on 2015, and so here I am with new thoughts on 2015. XD Maybe no one likes predictions as much as I do, but I'm having fun with this, so... humour me. XD;

As you may remember, I did a really detailed analysis of previous Johnny's volleyball support debuts here. However, since August, some new details have come to light, the main of which are:
✄ 2020 has not been as temporary as I was hoping
✄ A four member incarnation of the Junior unit formerly known as Sexy Boyz has emerged and is seeming more stable with Jinguji Yuta, Kishi Yuta, Iwahashi Genki, and Miyachika Kaito.
✄ I've seen Kaneda Yousei approximately everywhere
✄ Inoue Mizuki, who's usually opposite him, was slated for 2020.

Taking into account that they're supposedly announcing the full member list for 2020 at the end of Johnny's 2020 World, I'm going to make a new prediction based on the past criteria (breaking up the four member group, average age that's lower or at least comparable to the one from the previous year, including "fresh" juniors) and the fact that it seems like it should be a big group year rather than a small group year. And so, presenting my just-under-2-years-in-advance new 2015 dream team:

☆ Iwahashi Genki (1996.12.17) ex 4-member
☆ Nakamura Reia (1997.4.2)
☆ Jinguji Yuta (1997.10.30) ex 4-member
☆ Takahashi Fu (1998.5.8)
☆ Kuramoto Kaoru (2000.9.23)
☆ Kaneda Yosei (2001.3.22)
☆ "fresh member" (2003~2005)
☆ "fresh member" (2003~2005)

Number of members: 8
Average age: 15-15¼
Number of members from a 4-member Junior unit: 2
Age of oldest at debut: 18
Age of youngest at debut: 10-11
Number of "Fresh" members: 2

Things to remember:
✄ As I said above, the continuation of 2020 had a big impact on this; MatsuMatsu conbi seems undoubtedly out.
✄ Kishi Yuta will definitely be too old in 2015 to debut with a volleyball unit
✄ Reia is currently being featured with Kakuta Yusei and Takahashi Kaito because they can skate, but Kakuta Yusei is far too old and Takahashi Kaito is slated for 2020.
✄ Kuramoto Kaoru might be interchangeable for Hashimoto Ryo, who's the same age. Tamamoto Fumito is too old, but Haba Yuki is another possible choice.
✄ Morimoto Shintaro could be switched out for Reia, but at this point, I find it unlikely that he'd be isolated from the juniors with whom he's usually associated.
✄ The average age might be brought down by adding one or two more members, but it would also make breaking it into ani and otouto-gumi a little more difficult.
✄ If they want a smaller group, cutting Fu is the most reasonable option; he's the least pushed currently and it would reasonably bring down the average age.

So... that's it for now, folks! I probably will make at least one more prediction before the actual debut happens, but this is my current thoughts for now! And... I'm sorry I'm so weird. |D

Yeah, I feel the same way. It's misleading, since the group basically starts activities in 2016, but we're closing in on a year and a half until the announcement is made in September 2015. But yeah, poor Kishi (; A ;) He really isn't going to understand. It's not necessarily that he doesn't have a chance (though since he's been doing Shock I've been worrying that he'll go the way of Yara and Hasegawa Jun and stuff...) but he'll cry, and it will be awful... it almost makes me hope Fu isn't in it, for Kishi's sake. It would also be weird for the toothbrush song to be non-4-member-unit members, but I guess that would be it, huh? XD;

And yeah, I also feel really bad for Inoue Mizuki. He must have been pissed when they put him in 2020. It's really not fair, seeing how new Kaneda Yousei is.

LOL pun intended?

Yeah, poor Kishi ;A; I'm tempted to agree with you about Fu... for Kishi's sake, and also because Fu would hate to be separated from Kishi that way ;A; But yeah... with the lineup you have here, it seems like it would be them, unless they had like Jinchan and Kishi sing it lol.

And hahaha the pun was completely unintentional XD

[faded-lace.livejournal.com]

Yeah (; A ;) Though... I have faith that they'd stay together even if one of them debuted? I mean... Fu's love is pretty strong. But lol. I mean, they could just have Jinchan sing it or something, a la Fuma.

|D;;;

Yeah (;A;) Fuma would let Kishi cry on him? ;~~~; And lolol I don't even want to imagine Jinchan singing it |D;;;

Awwww, that would be so cute. Fuma would be so understanding. (; A ;) And lolol well. He probably thinks he would be the best choice.
