And just when I was feeling good about our first run at Adopt-an-Idol, reader Pukovnik Krv comes along and pees in the punch bowl. In a comment to the last lament about our friends PoroPoro Baroque, he wrote:

Actually they’ll debut when they have 4 members. That tweet is just Urara expressing hope that they’ll exceed 1000 followers before they debut.

This is terrible news! But there is a silver lining, and it’s that a number of suggestions for potential other debuting idols have been made, including under the same management, so possibilities are several.

Still, they went to all that trouble …
