>>84703188Idol literally just needs a few months with no particular bad happenings to restore all the good vibes (or as much of them as possible). Wildfyre debuts with good girls and a loli or two to uoh at, 3D debuts go well and the graduations happen with as much good atmosphere as possible (instead of a zombie shitshow like yuko's) AND the most difficult of them all, 'Momo' SOMEHOW redeems herself, and we'll close off 2024 on a good note.
After all of the loose ends of this year are tied, we've got a great cast of girls, who I can only hope have been bolstered by Wildfyre, who have access to an actual management and resources they can use to achieve their goals (or so i hope). Their continued existence alone should be enough to restore happy times.
The ''renaissance'' of Idol would be more of a rediscovery of passion rather than a return to around a year before this post is made, which, I think is already in progress. The girls have clearly suffered a massive hit to their confidence in their selves and future over the past year so idol's primary mission should be to restore that and bring back the air of ''we can do anything!'' and actually deliver.
And I don't think we need a 'breakout talent'. At this point in time, you need to be either a Rin or a Pippa to break out of the 3-view cage and honestly we're better off without either.
