2009 predictions

So now that it's officially 2009, I thought I'd start off the new year with predictions of what I think might happen in the upcoming months.

Hello Project:

Morning Musume-
1. They will release their 9th (technically 10th but I'm not counting Cover You) studio album, which isn't much of a prediction. XD
2. They will add new members either from auditions in Japan or from those Korean auditions that happened a few months back.
3. They will get a number 1 single.

C-ute-
1. Kanna will continue to get noticed and will have another solo magazine shoot.
2. They will branch out more into Asia like Berryz did.

Berryz Koubou-
1. Yurina will continue to get lead solo lines. (ok that's more of what I want to see)

Elder Club:
The official announcement in March will be nothing special.


Johnny's Entertainment:

NEWS-
1. They will have a cool or rock sounding single, like KAT-TUNs'
2. They will expand more into the global market/have more overseas tours


Kanjani8-
1. Uchi will rejoin the group



Jpop:

1. Nami Tamaki will finally release a new single with Sony.
2. Puffy AmiYumi will tour America again.
3. BoA will just stick to dominating over Asia
4. Ai Otsuka will release a love song. Shocking! But I think it will happen. :P
5. Koda Kumi will release another fully English single.



Jrock:

1. Miyavi will completely change his music style, yet again.
2. SuG's single will continue to dramatically change and continue not to really impress me much.
3. Gazette will release a single like their old material (Unlikely, but they really should)
4. Dir en grey will have another headlining tour in America. I like that's planned already, possibly.
5. An Cafe will finally have a major debut. (Very unlikely, but would still be cool)
6. Aicle will release a full length album.
7. The Candy Spooky Theater will get another new guitarist. Seriously, they are already on their 3rd.




Let's see how many of these actually come true. :]
