Their newest instagram update reveals that Youngjoo will be the Lead cast,which mean the one slot of three lead is already filled, and from their instagram caption we can interpret that Youngjoo type is [Passion]-idol type, so,the one left unknown will be the [cool] type (but probably it will filled with Suji), whereas in [Cute]-type it will be tough competition between Sori and Yukika (but from the MV,look like Sori will be the lead from the [Cute]-type) also,i wonder do they will give Youngjoo subunit before the show is airing

[Rant Begin:] GDI,i'm angry,very angry and dissapointed...IMX done this screw up again and again,while Hana is the least member that i like,she still deserve the position as member, afterall it will be pretty disappointing if she out of the show, she the ones that started it all (from 14 main to 10 main) and that why,she should be in this show 'till its end IMX sullied the spirit of idol in idolmaster franchise with this move [Rant End.] btw,is this mean that they need to remake all their promotion and MV? also,i wish hana get well soon,the fact that she out prolly mean that her leg injury is far worse than earlier diagnose

Edit: Sorry,double posting because internet connection error

i do also quite agree on most part except for Yukika too, well, i do agree that Yukika lack the dance skill,you know that she a seiyuu,she have a different foundation than all of her R.G.P peers which mostly consist of korean idol or adept on dancing,also considering the concept of japanese idol is quite different with korean idol,it is actually quite understandable. For Stage presence,i think yukika is one with strong stage presence, if you are a japanese idol fans or overseas fans who not quite fond on korean thing,you will look for Yukika first before looking at the other,she one of key presence that run the show (i think without yukika,many overseas im@s fan impression on this group is,"ah...just another korean idol group" but with Yukika,it is,"hmm....who is this girl from japan? what is this new idol project?"),that is how strong is Yukika Stage presence. For vocal,i actually can't judge her vocal for right now, considering this is an idolmaster franchise which have large variety of vocal, it's all depend on the song (considering their japanese counterpart have large bank of song,ranging from high-pitched vocal, extremely cute vocal, seriosa ,and many kind of other vocal type song. Do it is bad? depend on the listener i think)

If you look carefully,hana is currently subtituted with yeseul,rumor mill said she get struck by some illness that she need rest for god know how long...well,eventhough hana is the least that i liked, i still hope she get well soon if the rumor mill is true

agree, they are ridiculously bad on planning timeline and i can guess the reason is because they doesn't have fixed concept yet (from how they parachute hana and taeri in the show, and then opening audition for support roles with lack of publication) ,well i know its quite hard to 'adapt the concept' of japan game to korean drama without disappointing one side of fans,so it quite understandable I can stay patient as long the girl given cute costume and their own image song like their japanese counter-part by the management in the waiting period

isn't the one in black jacket Hana byul? There aren't Hyunmi in those photos :( CMIIW from left to right: Jeong Taeri, Heo Joungjoo, Nayoung, Yeseul, Jiwon, Jane, Haseo, Sori, Mint, Hana byul, Yukika, Yeeun, Heo Youngjoo, Suji, Coco

yes And this why i dislike this kind of practice that currently a trend over Japan which of course,as Bandai Namco Inc are the head project manager,they will use this kind of practice Usual practice is they will be disposable temporary unit that if they doesn't do well,they will be disbanded when the show ends,and if they do well,they will be running for a long times even after the show end

I kinda notice several 'disturbing' thing: while Jeong Taeri, Joungjoo,and yeseul still in the camp, i notice that coco is no longer in the camp because she busy on promoting her other album, probably, Nayoung and Hyunmi also no longer in the camp(there aren't known activities for both of them tho,i guess hyunmi probably held hostage in certain agency basement tho ). Also,there a matter of the production house opening new supporting actors/actresses audition. Previously we know that the main actresses will be the 10 members of RGP,and the remaining 6 will at least play as supporting role,but they sudden need of supporting actors/actresses can mean either they doesn't have enough people to play the role,or there are someone who bail out from the remaining 6 I hope the former tho and the reason they no longer in camp because they currently have other temporary activities,it will be pretty disappointing if they bail out from the show just like that because they don't get the main roles

so,look like the management currently searching for supporting actors, they open a new audition today. News source: http://www.idolmaster-kr.com/news?uid=12&mod=document CMIIW because i just use a google translate to read the news

It is just me,after i repeat the videos dozens of times,i kinda feel that their three starter singer are Hana byul, Jiwon, and Youngjoo? they are noticeably have the most part in these two song,then followed by Sori, Yukika,and Suji. The others like Jane,Mint,Haseo,and Yeeun get only a quickies part. Hopefully, the other girls get more part in upcoming future group song, and its even better if they get their respective characters song like every character in idolmaster

For me aside from hana byul plot twist that she parachuted onto the show out of nowhere, the other intriguing case is Yeeun that take kinda 'cinderella' route,she are a normal college girl /school girl (? CMIIW) that barely make the cut in audition phase,many people thought she will not chosen to be main 10 because there are other already well-known girl,but fate twisted and destiny intersected,she similar with Shimamura Uzuki from Idolm@ster anime series,unnoticeable girl with only "Try to doing her best" as her quality. Hopefully,similar to Uzuki, everyone will gradually rooted for her,and help her to climb the stair of popularity BTT: for hana byul roles, hopefully,they don't follow the PV lol, hana byul on the PV is giving image of a clumsy girl that need Sori to do her make-up, i do prefer she become antagonist at the start of the show (heck,even when she was first introduced if you look at my previous comment when she parachuted into the show) considering she a black mania,and black usually associate with evil (sorry for stereotyping) ,but well, this production house usually surprise us with plot twist,so who know what will happen,we can only hope.

Thanks for the correction

New update on their instagram and facebook shown Heo Joungjoo ,and Jeongtaeri still at the training camp,so it safe to said that they will at least have some part in the drama CMIIW

True,its very unexpected that Coco didn't make the cut instead pairing Sori with Hana byeol,i prefer Coco,but lets just see what bandai have in its store Hyunmi always on borderline of making the cut,or not lol,too bad she didn't make it this time,i hope they still give the remaining 6 a role tho; Coco, Joungjoo,hyunmi can be material of quality plot (e.g suddenly your little sister,and your best friend is on another agency,psychological conflict is always good material for drama) about the name of project,actually the name itself is quite 'sensitive', i kinda surprise when they pick Real Girl as their project name considering Real Girl can also be read as Riagiru or Riajuu in japanese. Riajuu itself is the term used by japanese otaku for people who have relationship and kinda normal social life,in other word,counterpart of hardcore otaku who mainly compose the Idolmaster fandoms. tl;dr the term itself is disliked by otaku

rumor: Either it will on-air September this year or April 2017

there still aren't official announcement or news ,but looking at that they take photos of 12 participant,i am almost sure that this phase isn't elimination phase,so,i think IMX will stick to 10 main and 6 supporting role, I believe Youngjoo and the other just don't participate in these photo session like what Mint do before

its only an assumption tho,we know that banco & Imx like to screw thing up

Look like they will announce the 10 protag along with a new PV in next week (i guess its will release at monday-wednesday next week),because if it only counting the score,they doesn't need to took 5 days to do it.

I think,its will be on next week tho,not this week, the previous statement of them is 2 first week of training,and 2 other week of deciding who will be the MC

well,i hope they will publish the song cover instead of only show us the picture when they practice the dance of said song and for testing my knowledge,I'll try to tell who is who from left tor right The first picture: Joungjoo,Hana byeol,Sori,Haseo,Nayoung The second picture: Jiwon,Suji,Hyunmi,Yeseul,Yeeun The Third: Yukika, Youngjoo,Jeong Taeri, Jane,Mint,Coco Coco,and Yeseul is hard too distinguish without their hairdo set (coco with bun on top of her head) ...Youngjoo and Joungjoo also have nearly same face except Joungjoo smile is cuter

I almost not recognize ji won with her black hair,because in MV she have blond/ brown hair

yeah,i think suji will also secure her place on starter 3 (the usual 3 member of Japanese idol group who is the main of main protags),and this is my prediction for these: 1. Suji 2. Yukika 3, Sori and i bet that Youngjoo and Joungjoo sisterhood will also be canon in the drama

I have this lingering feeling that they will do the 'who will be the starter pack idol' audition after this main 10 protagonist audition phase,and suddenly there will be additional participant whose comes from nowhere

hmm....look like they will at least update their instagram with 3 photos everyday during the camp and so i begin realizing after skimming through their instagram again and again,that the selling point of this drama is how fascinating each members from different group interact with each other (like Coco & Halla interaction,Yukika & Sori interaction),and cute girl doing cute thing together. Then I remember that Bandai & IMX,will pit all of them together in 'Bloody' battle to attain the MCs status *sigh Can they just left our cute girls cuddling with each other and making the 16 of them as MCs :(
