New HSJ program School Kakumei

The rumors for this new program have been circling for a while but finally there is a credible source for the announcement. Showa x Heisei is ending and will be replaced by a new program titled, School Kakumei. The boys from Hey! Say! JUMP that will be regulars on the program are Yamada Ryosuke, Chinen Yuri and Yaotome Hikaru. The program will begin airing on April 4th.

The unique aspect of the program is that they will be holding auditions for one boy to join them in filming an episode with the three members of HSJ and receive training as a Johnny's Junior. (Not sure if that means they will be allowed to join the agency but I don't see why they wouldn't.)

While I'm happy to see at least one member of Hey! Say! BEST among the cast I can't help but wish they had more of the group members on the program. Maybe they can replace Hi! Hey! Say! with something new, or change the program up a little to get more members to be on that one. At least School Kakumei sounds like it will be interesting so I'll be trying to catch the episodes when they air, as hopefully I'll be able to find a TV for cheap in Japan.
