Reading the CEO's post he says this is in an effort to give the new gen more time for training which I think is actually good.
It might debut in the same amount of time it would have if the announcement had not been made early and the only difference is that now they had double the time to train them.
Look at EN3, they are very good and they clearly had a lot of training and that took time.
If they had began the process of choosing new members and training them earlier they could have debuted EN3 earlier.
If idolEN3 debuts soon Aviel is fucking up for sure and saturating his company and accelerating to much. But if he takes his time and just uses the extra head start to train them more I only see this as a win.
They currently have 2 OG HE members, their EN1 and EN2 which is a pretty good stable roster and going to EN3 would still be pretty good.
Hololive JP didn't take too long between the debuts of new gens for the first like 4 gens.
They had around 6 month breaks between new gens so let's see how long idol takes for its new gen.
This is either a great move to have more time for training that will pay off and other companies will try to copy it. Or he is rushing too fucking much.
We'll see.
