Remaining two ranks go to <strong>Morning Musume.&#8217;16&#8217;s Masaki Sato<\/strong> and <strong>\u00b0C-ute&#8217;s Airi Suzuki<\/strong>. <strong>Meimi Tamura<\/strong> from ANGERME graduated in the end of May so she left an empty chair there for someone to occupy. Absent this time from my ranking are also <strong>Haruka Kudo<\/strong> (MM.&#8217;16) and <strong>Chisaki Morito<\/strong> (<strong>Country Girls<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>So what happened to those free chairs? I can&#8217;t deny that there is a rising trend on my list. The name of that trend is Kobushi Factory. I&#8217;ve fallen deeply in love with that group. So deeply that I had to set-up a new domain with a new blog called <a href=\"http:\/\/kobushi-factory.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Kobushi Factory International<\/a>. Sounds kinda familiar? Today I have same kind of excited feeling with KF as I had about ten years ago when I started my Berryz Kobo International blog.<\/p>\n<p>So not a big surprise that my number one H!P girl is now <strong>Minami Nomura<\/strong>. And with her came two other girls from KF: <strong>Natsumi Taguchi<\/strong> and <strong>Rei Inoue<\/strong>. ANGERME is still going strong although <strong>Murotan<\/strong> was displace by Minamina. Both very entertaining girls.<\/p>\n<p>Significant thing is that there is only one MoMusu girl on my list not to mention the absence of <strong>Juice=Juice<\/strong>, Country Girls and <strong>Tsubaki Factory<\/strong> members. That does not mean that I don&#8217;t like those groups. For example Morning Musume is and has always been the group I follow and mostly love. Juice=Juice has done great stuff recently and Country Girls is always fun to listen to &amp; watch.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">1. (3.)
