I get the feeling they have way more KSS than they should right now, though? MM and Angerme's lineups are bursting to the seams, and they can't even muster up enough activities for their current groups to bother debuting Ichioka Factory. And in terms of the ages of the current members, we're about due for another exodus like Elder Club, which in no way depleted H!P's size to where they needed a mass audition.
My questions are more of how much this puts a timeline on Iikubo, and then if Takechan will be the new H!P subleader and Angerme leader. It's weird to think about Kananan in an official sub-leading capacity.
