It's been a whole year since it was announced that KSS unit would be debuting this year. Are they ready? I don't know. But I feel like dragging them along for this long with the hope of 2024 debut is just mean. I mean, besides the 2023 additions, the unit members have been added since 2022! UF announce SOMETHING PLEASE!

米村「研修生ユニットとして活動していた時期は、コロナ禍もあり、本当にデビューできるか、デビューできるとしても、どんな形でいつデビューできるのかわからず、つねに不安で。何を目指して進めばいいかわからない中、4人で悩んで模索し続けていたので、どうしても気分が沈んでしまう日もありました。自分たちなりに精一杯がんばってイベントに出ても、私たちの空気感が沈んでいるのが伝わってしまい、先生に『研修生ユニットがステージにいると暗くなるからもう出なくていいよ』などと注意されることも。辛いこともたくさんありましたし、ハロプロは小学生や中学生もどんどんデビューするイメージがあるので、このままじゃいけないという年齢的な焦りも。そんな中でもあきらめず、続けてこられたのは間違いなく、いつも3人と一緒だったから！　続ける場合はもちろん、やめるなら全員でやめようって決めていたので、メンバー3人だけはどんな時でも味方だって思えたし、一緒に悩んで、一緒にもがいて戦った運命共同体みたいな大切な存在です」

Yonemura Kirara: Since the period we had been working as Kenshuusei Unit was amid Coronavirus Crisis, so we were always anxious if we would really be able to make our debut, if we would, in what kind of form and when. We didn't know what to aim for, and the four of us were always struggling with the situation and searching for a way forward, so there were days when we couldn't help but feel down. Even if we did our best to perform at an event, our atmosphere would be perceived as low-spirited, and the trainer would sometimes warn us, like "It gets uncheerful when Kenshuusei Unit is on stage, so you don't have to perform any more". There were a lot of hard times, and I was also impatient with my age like "I couldn't go on like this" as I thought in Hello! Project it's very usual that elementary and junior high school students make their debut. The reason I didn't give up and was able to keep going in spite of all that was definitely because I was always with the three comrades! Since we had decided that we would continue together, or we would quit together, I felt that the other three were always my allies. We're like a group sharing a common destiny that have gone through struggles together. And I think it's precious.

Yonemura Kirara (OCHA NORMA) - VoCE Interview

Beauty magazine VoCE interviews Yonemura Kirara of OCHA NORMA on makeup, her days in the Hello! Project Kenshuusei, and working towards debut.

Original article found here.

── Which member do you want to exchange makeup bags with?

K: Kitahara Momo-chan. She has a lot of pink cosmetics, and many things that are cute and girly! If we exchanged, I think you'd see a me you haven't seen before with a lot of pink. But actually, the truth is I already borrow a lot of her stuff without much thought now anyway (laughs). Next time I want to properly trade with her.

── What kind of makeup do you usually do for yourself?

K: For work, my eyeshadow is always brown. It makes the area around my eyes look deeper, and I feel like that makes me look cuter and overall better aesthetically. When it's my free time, I don't particularly need to look cute (laughs), so I do my makeup how I like, like winged eyeliner or pink eyeshadow. Sometimes I feel like just doing the makeup that I like for work too, like using the pink eyeshadow, but when I look at the videos and photos afterwards I think "this doesn't look good" and regret it... so basically I always end up back to brown!

── What kind of makeup is essential for live performances?

K: I love using glitter. When I go to a cosmetics department I always check out all the glitters, and I buy them right away. The area around my eyelids is so small, so honestly there's probably a lot more makeup I need to buy (laughs). I love big glitter that looks holographic! When the light shines on me, it reflects the glitter and sparkles and I think that looks really cute. I do sometimes worry how it looks from a male perspective, but I don't think much about that and apply it anyway!

── What do you think your personality is like, according to you?

K: I'm really unrefined. If I'm somewhere that I'm familiar with then I'll sit with my legs wide open, or I'll open and close a door really loudly. But when it's my first time somewhere I tend to freeze up out of nervousness, like today at the beginning I was actually really nervous. So I also think I'm a bit of a chicken.

── Yonemura-san, before OCHA NORMA made their debut, you spent 6 years as a Hello! Project trainee ("kenshuusei"). What kind of existence to you are the other 3 members who walked that road with you in the H!P KSS Unit?

K: When we were working as part of the Hello! Project Kenshuusei Unit, we had the effects of the Coronavirus happening around us, and we were always anxious about whether we would really be able to debut at all, or if we were to debut, what kind of debut that would look like. We had no idea what to aim for, so the four of us continued worrying and searching for some kind of answer, and there were days where we couldn't help our mood being down. There was actually a time that we got scolded by a teacher who told us, "The Kenshuusei Unit brings down the mood of the stage when you perform, so you don't have to perform anymore". There were a lot of painful times, and Hello! Project also has an image of people getting their debuts in elementary or middle school, so there was also an impatience with my age that made me think, "I can't keep going like this". The reason that I carried on without giving up despite all of that is definitely because I was always with the three of them! Of course if we were going to continue we would be together, but we also decided that if we were going to quit, we would quit together as well, so I felt like those three members were always my allies, and we had a special connection as a community of fate who had been struggling and fighting together.

── When you were in the KSS Unit, and you couldn't see your debut coming, was there anything the four of you did to keep up your motivation?

K: When we performed at events, we performed with the determination to turn the guests who were there into our own fans. For example, one thing we tried to be conscious of was making a lot of eye contact with audience members. Of course, we were also polishing our performances, but we also studied up on makeup and did our makeup together, and did strength training in the dressing rooms... We also put in a lot of effort to up our visual appeal.

── You don't always show a lot of what you're feeling on your face, but when you debut was announced, it left an impression on everyone that even you cried. What were your feelings at that time?

K: I had been aiming all this time to debut, so of course it was "happiness", but there was also a huge sense of relief, because my family, friends, and the members I had spent such a long time with had all been supporting me the whole time, and now I was finally going to debut properly. I think my situation had uneasy for a long time, and I caused a lot of worry for the people around me, so I was filled with a lot of gratitude.

OCHA NORMA’s 2nd single “Uchira no Jimoto wa Chikyuu Jan!” / UNMEI CHACHACHACHA~N" was released on November 30th, 2022.

Hokkaido、is the Best Yonemura Kirara (23.09.30)

This morning ！！

I was able to appear on UHB 「Ittoko！」✨

Everyone、did you watch itーー？？👀

This was my first time、appearing for the full length of a morning TV show、so I was super nervous！

All of the hosts were super duper kind and they talked to us a lot、so I had fun from before the recording started、until after it ended♡

The gourmet catering at the studio was all so delicious、Hokkaido really is the best、、、、、！！！！🥺

I'll keep working hard so that I can appear again💪

Thank you very much to everyone who watched！！

With Hokkaido native Ishiguri Kanamin🧡

Okay so、we arrived in Hokkaido yesterday

And the whole Ishiguri family took us to a place where we could eat delicious fresh seafood！！！🥺🥺

It was super duper delicious and I had so much fun！！！

Thank you very much😊♡

Today I also received a lot of Hokkaido souvenirs！！！

I'll enjoy them！

And And、

HOKKAIDO LIVEPRO FESTIVAL2023

Thank you very much！

We were able to perform at this event way back at the very start of our Kenshuusei Unit period、

I think we were able to perform on 3 stages as the Kenshuusei Unit、which is quite a lot

But I distinctly remember it all really clearly！！

And、like、it felt even more important than when we made our debut ！！So I'm so happy we're backー！！！！

I talked about it with Ishiguri-kun for ages yesterday。

To everyone who came、really thank you very much！！！❤️

It was so much fun😊

[haropro-confessions]

I wonder if the big wigs at UFA "regret" giving a 2024 debut date the new KSS Unit instead of just saying they will debut. I think they were counting on some girls from the Hello!Project audition to fill the group out. I mean they were successful with the Hello!Project auditions that produced SeasoningS and Roko&Sumire. But they didn't find anyone suitable for KSS Unit'24. What will they do? It's getting late for a 2024 debut if they're still looking for new members.
