It's a junior con basically, except that instead of having all the juniors (since they already got so much exposure in the SUMMARY earlier) these cons are only concentrating on Kisumai and ABC-Z. Like, there are goods for each individual members, as well as the groups, but no goods for the other juniors. There probably will be juniors, but only as support. Hasshi of course was added to ABC to create ABC-Z, which I still think is only a publicity stunt and JE only wants to give more exposure to their new golden boy so that he can have more experience and confidence so that he'd be ready debut material when the next opportunity arises. I love Hasshi and I know he can use the experience, but I don't agree with JE's crash course system on this. ABC fans might eat him alive, even though it's not his choice to be added and change the group name XD;

Anyway, I'm trailing away from the subject. It IS a good sign that Kisumai is getting more exposure like this. While things such as performing on MS or getting their own cons don't necessarily mean anything, because we know many groups before have gone through that and only debuted a lot later or have been broken up, it's still exposure, and what most important the con actually carries their name. It's not only juniors, it's ABC and Kisumai, so it makes a difference. The boys also get to be involved in making the con a whole different way than the ones where they've previously been in.
But yeah, debuting, if it would ever even happen, is still far away. For groups like Kisumai and ABC who have special talents aside from singing, I think the chance for debuting might be different from the average juniors, because juniors like them are needed on the sidelines too. If they're allowed to debut, who would take their places as the rollerboys or acrobats. Kisumai is getting more and more songs without rollerblades too, and that's a good sign because it shows they're not a one trick pony, and with the other boys than just HiroSuke and Senga getting exposure lately, that's even better, because it shows the whole group is getting noticed in a different way from before. I don't even pretend to have the slightest idea on how JE's minds are working, but what I do know is that JE is working really hard to bring forth new juniors to fill in the gab left by HSJ when many of the popular juniors debuted, and "juniors golden time" definitely took a hit there, even if it was made up by HSJ's popularity, but unless JE can come up with something new for the juniors that could make up for Kisumai (rollerblades aside, Kisumai is the new sexy jr group after KAT-TUN, and KAT-TUN took a long time before they could debut and have some other group to fill in for them as juniors), there's no way of knowing when that would even be possible. Also, seeing Kisumai's image as the sexy group, if they debuted they'd be competing most of all against KAT-TUN, thanks to the sexy image, and on lesser base against the other same aged JE groups, and having two similar groups debuting in such a short time-line just wouldn't be smart marketing-wise. JE is in the end all about business. HSJ was a really good move by JE's part, because the group attracts to a whole different set of fans than what the older groups. With a group like Kisumai it'd be a lot tougher. Like I said, I'm not even gonna try guessing how JE mind works, but if I'd have to think what might be possible, I think next debut might very well be Kansai group. B.A.D. has been pimped a lot lately, and so has been Yuma. Other than that though Kansai boys are not really appearing that much. Shintaro gets a lot screen time, but he's too small, but clearly a new "will be big in the future" junior. Hasshi is the most likely "next to debut" junior, but he's not ready for it mentally yet. He's too shy, despite the way he acts when he's performing, so JE needs to train him more with that, and that's why I think the whole ABC-Z was put together, to have his big bro Tottsu take care of him. With how caring all the older juniors were being to Hasshi in latest Shounen Club, I might even guess Johnny-san has ordered all the boys to look after him XD Hn, but yeah, at the moment the most READY junior would be Yuma, followed by B.A.D. But overall with the juniors, Tokyo or Kansai, the problem is if they have enough juniors to cover for new debut, or when that would be. Actually, the only debut I think could be affordable for JE right now would be Butoukan. They're gaining more popularity, and Yara surely deserves the attention, but if that were to happen it would likely mean breaking up ABC and Kisumai, or perhaps Kisumai could still continue without Senga, and ABC as a 3 member group and with Shoon appearing with them. I would say JE isn't willing to break some of the oldest groups for a debut, but seeing which groups got broken for HSJ, there's no way I could ever say that. No junior group is sacred with JE after all. KAT-TUN was one of the rare cases where the group had actually been together so long even before debuting and they got to debut together, I have very little expectations JE is gonna get full, already existing junior groups to debut the same way, even if I'd want to see Kisumai one day debuting, looking back the debuts in the past, it's just not likely.

omg...i wan kisumai to debut
but i noe,its not possible
cos ebikisu is like the top juniors now like takki used to be
i hope they won't split up kisumai and abc for butoukan
and srsly,butoukan is way too new to debut before kisumai
but then,yara has prolly been there very long
like taipi
and honestly,i think taipi has more talent
sigh...
taipi joined je for TEN FREAKING YEARS
woahh~
but yara joined for 14years
senga joined for like 6years
and oh wait,its just unfair
cos CANE TOAD WASN'T ON SC
in all the 05-07 SCs i watched,i have NEVER NEVER NEVER SEEN BLOODY CANE TOAD
gawddd
je is just being unfair cos of his dad
):
i wish butoukan and kisumai can debut wif senga and tsukada still remain
like ryo in kanjani and NEWS
