You know what I still think H!P Kids were kind of wasted in the subunits they were featured in. Sure, Buono! was the best thing ever and Berrikyu was also great but Dia Lady? Who on Earth decided not to promote them further? Mellowquad lineup was pretty okay but it was short-lived. Many years ago I thought that Miya/Airi/Risako may have also been interesting. Captain x Nakky? Maasa x Yurina should have released more duets. Mayb another one with Chinami/Nakky/Yurina/Chisato? Idk man,so many ideas that I think would look good and sound interesting if produced well.
“Hey, let’s take each other by the hand, (I’m just a tiny bit selfish, but) let’s walk this road together (nurturing our love).”

Hey, I had a dream about you even though I straight up trust you

Count me in with those who didn't know °C-ute had a rivarly with that group SweetS but after reading about SweetS, it seems natural that they would be a rival group. I never liked the Berryz vs. °C-ute rivarly TBH, I saw them as sister groups through and through and I just wanted to enjoy their friendship. Their style never comparable to each other. °C-ute was always more girly and later sexy while Berryz was more cool and silly/fun, maybe even tomboyish. It did made me sad that only °C-ute started getting more polished music videos and more creative concert sets, and seeing the overseas fandom bash Berryz and always pit them against °C-ute was awful but I always loved both groups on their own. Berryz should have been rivals with a group with more similar style. Or as the song Rival says, Berryz' Rival should have always been only themselves. So I wanted more friendly collabs between Berikyuu.
It's impressive how many female idols say they are fans of H!P but only seem to talk about 2008-2014 H!P like Platinum Era, Berikyu, Buono, Riho and early Juice=Juice. I think that was genuinely the last period of H!P where a lot of girls in the audition demographic admired and wanted to join H!P.
Why weren't Hellopro Kids marketed more towards... kids?? earlier in their career (before Shugo chara, Inazuma eleven, Kirarin and all that jazz). Listening to songs like Piriri to Yukou, Fighting Pose, Sakura Chirari, Wakkyanai Z, etc, I can perfectly picture them as openings or endings of children's anime or shojo, like they're that good and catchy songs. I really don't get it.
For those one on one covers that are uploaded to YT, I want to finally get an Airi x Miya duet. I wanted them to sing Kanashiki Heaven because I always wanted to hear BKsing that song, but if it can't be that because Ruru-Yuhane did it first, I want something like Adam to Eve no dilemma, Jinsei wa Step or I miss you. Miyairi always were my oshis and I miss the OG! :(
I want Berrikyuu members to have more cameos on MVs. Yurina in Shuukatsu Sensation was ages ago. Can Maasa make a cameo? Miyabi? Maimi? Even Yaguchi Mari made a cameo in Ocha Norma's CHACHACHA-N.
I was going thru my collection of stuffs and it's always annoyed me that ALL (ok I exaggerate) the cool styling ideas are used for calendars or albums. Queen of J-pop had pretty awesome rockin' styling but it wasn't used in an MV. 7 Utsukushikutte Gomen ne also had supercute member-colored outfits that never appeared in an MV. Berryz's 2015 calendar is all that I wanted them to do for an MV/song concept in their late years. Classy, womanly, glamorous... The 2013 calendar too, nothing too complicated, just some classy red/white dresses that suited the girls. I've come to accept that part of Hellopro's charm is that it's low budget and even ridiculously tacky at its lowest low so I've never complained too much but some wasted opportunities still pain my heart a bit after all these years y'know. The styling for new albums of current groups sucks so I don't have more examples lmao.
