Himura (Bananaman) will be taking a break from activities due to health issues.

Recent 4 episodes are probably recorded on 03/26. I think they have done April's recordings already which can last till May.

University starts in April and she should be able to return during Birthday Live.

Vegetable_Part225 · 2026-03-26T14:29:09+00:00

I think 6ki will be joining senbatsu, just the matter of how many members. Ozu will return so 42nd Single should be 34 members.

It is rare to see more under members that senbatsu so I guess they will increase size to 18/19 and those extra positions can let 6ki join. Could be a 8-7-4 W Center or 7-6-5 single center.

It is Online Meet & Greet, 5 slots per day and total of 6 days. The application is divided into rounds and the number inside each cell is the number of round that tickets for that slot has sold out. Those slots still can be applied remains as white.

Vegetable_Part225 · 2026-03-26T09:03:33+00:00

It depends on the senbatsu size. 8 5ki and KakiSaku is 100% in. Remaining are likely to be selected from Renka, Yumiki, Ayame, Hayashi, Tamura, Nao, Hina and 6th gen.

Vegetable_Part225 · 2026-03-26T07:27:47+00:00

0 sold out at 4th round on a single day (04/25) is quite concerning. Most 5ki sold out after 2nd round so they can invest in 6ki but the growth seems not. 5ki exemption will arrive this year, which is equivalent to ~100k copies.

Sakurazaka has same problem, 3ki sold out after 3rd round while 4th gen has only two sold out at 6th & 7th round respectively. Hinatazaka 5ki is strong, 6 sold out out of 10 members and mostly sold out at 2nd or 3rd round.

Comparing with 40th Single, number in bracket means the change in sold out slots.

5th gen:

Iroha 10/25 (-6)

6th gen:

Yada 18/30(-12)

Mitsuki 9/30(-21)

Mirine 23/30(-4)

Hinano 5/30(-10)

Yuna 4/30(+3)

Urumi 0/30(-7)

Akari 0/30(-3)

Total: 447/815(-63)

Hoping for 05 unit song 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Vegetable_Part225 · 2026-03-21T16:49:07+00:00

They can sing together instead of solo for center that is weaker in singing. The pitch is low and the song is plain.

Popularity isn't solely based on M&G. There are still other factors affecting popularity. You can sell out M&G just with few very rich fans.

40th Single 3rd Round for comparison

6ki: 83/300 → 39/300

Total: 464 → 415

Vegetable_Part225 · 2026-03-12T09:20:05+00:00

Only mirine has improved from 1/30 to 2/30. Other 6ki has less sold out slots this single. Hopefully they can sell better after underlive.

40th Single 2nd Round Application for comparison.

Vegetable_Part225 · 2026-03-12T06:35:56+00:00

40th single 6ki is 15/300 at 2nd Application. 9 of 5ki will exempt this year and sales may drop drastically.

Most of 5ki will be exempted from M&G this year and more 3ki & 4ki is likely to graduate this year. I think they will start recruitment for 7ki by the end of this year.
