>>104318677The frontrunners from my perspective
>SubaruJust released Pleiades this year, possibly as a formality but if she wants it she should have one in 2026. She could easily have a spring event
>KoyoriFirst Step did well in pre-release and on release, but she might need another EP first to build up her base of original songs. I'm thinking 75/25 for 2026, likely fall
>LuiBeen on the grind, but her sales don't make a lot of sense. Cover loves her for some reason though so I give her 50/50 for 2026 at any time
>KoroneDoesn't have the discography and doesn't really have the 2022-2023 Pekora popularity to likely get one on her own without preexisting albums. If she wants one, she probably needs to at least put out a proper EP if not an album
I would put IRyS and Bae on par with Koyori and Kiara around Lui in a merit conversation, but their chances are a tenth of what their counterparts have because Cover has some EN autism
