Will we see Ayana in this new Hybe America project?

What's interesting is that auditions seem to call for two vocal submissions, one pop song and one r&b pop song 👀 They did say she didn't fit Saint Satine's concept. But might she fit this concept? Something that might fit her emotive vocals and love of r&b, like "We Ride"? Maybe?

They gave Ayana an Emily edit, very much stating that they knew she would debut. And they didn't have to, WS was released months after the final show. That as well as the fact that Ayana has keep in contact with numerous mentors, execs, etc, does seem to be training, and is pretty much exclusively doing challenges from other HYBE groups.

Note that this isn't necessarily a HxG project, could be another subsidiary or label in Hybe America, but I'm hopeful it includes Ayana and we'll see her debut soon (here or elsewhere).

Sakura cantando We Ride

Uma pena não terem liberado o clipe completo dela cantando, mas isso mostra uma visão do quão boa ela pode vir a se tornar. E isso é ela cantando sem dançar provavelmente, então por isso a estabilidade;

*Obs: Sei que é ela pois tivemos Ayana, Aoi e depois veio a sakura para o treino.

Sakura was the better choice.

Before anyone jumps at me, I want you to hear the real reason why Sakura was always going to be chosen for Saint satine.

First of all, Sakura had a clear identity, something Ayana was missing. This wasn’t just Son being overly critical, everyone had pointed it out, including her trainers, and even Ayana herself acknowledged it when training. Aoi and Hiori also had identities, so if they had reached the finals alongside Sakura, choosing the final piece would have been much more difficult. Ayana was demonstrating why she deserved that final position, whereas that wasnt the case for Sakura.

This is going to hurt alot of people, but I’m just going to say that you can train talent, but you cannot train star quality. Sakura has so much star quality that it’s undeniable. She still stood out and blended in the group at the same time, unlike ayana who blended in completely with the group and didn’t show a sense of identity during performances.

While we’re on the subject of J-pop, there’s something most people already recognize. The industry tends to favor younger idols and minors. I’m not saying it’s right, but a 20 year old contestant who has already appeared on multiple survival shows is naturally going to have a harder time appealing to the Japanese market, especially since Emily, Lexie and Samara went through the same thing. On the other hand, a youthful 16 year old with a poor background and no previous training? That just appeals more to younger audiences. Sakura had a clear advantage.

Finally, the visual part. [I AM NOT CALLING AYANA UGLY, in fact she is one of the most beautiful trainees ive seen.] But, visual means looking different. They are a global girl group appealing to a global market. Every outfit and every hairstyle from Ayana can be pictured on Lexie which really just doesn’t make a difference. They both have pale skin and black hair, it just doesn’t appeal even if she’s Japanese.

This is not a hate post, I’m just stating why sakura was always gonna be chosen.

Wonder if they’re teasing something here

Haven’t seen this uploaded on any of the forums yet so I figured I’d add it here. Instagram wasn’t giving me the translate option for some reason. I’m guessing this is a dance workshop with Honoka K. and Rira as teachers. Can’t help but notice that it’s in Okinawa which is where Rinka, Honoka M., Jayla, and another contestant (can’t remember who) were just recently at. I know Jayla and another contestant already live in Okinawa but I’m still gonna be delulu and hope that this is a teaser for a new girl group to debut with past contestants. As long as Honoka K. is part of the group, I’ll be happy.
