It has been 2 years since Kosuga Fuyuka left H!P, but now she finally signed with a new agency! She is part of Japan Music Entertainment.  There is not a lot of information about her and any possible future activities, but it is always nice to see a kenshuusei pop up again. For all that do not know: Fuyuka was a 2nd generation member of S/mileage but had to leave within a few months because of severe anemia. She later came back as a kenshuusei, but was never promoted.  I am really happy to see Fuu-chan again! She is such a cutie and when I spoke to her on twitter she was a real sweet heart!

  Like every year H!P Kenshuusei hold their recitals! In this show all the kenshuusei preform a solo and the audience chooses who did the best, while a jury also gives out prices! This year we had quite a suprise in winners: Public vote winners: Kasahara Momona (24th gen) and Kiyono Momohime (25th gen) both won with 228 votes. Judge's awards: Singing award Takase Kurumi (23th gen) Also runner-up for the public award! Dance Award Akiyama Mao (24th gen) Special award Inoue Hikaru (19th gen) Congratulations to these 5 girls for winning!
