Choose possible topics:

Option 1: Hinatazaka46

I chose this topic not only because they are my favorite Japanese idol groups but also that people from western countries don't know them that much, or J-pop female idol groups in general. The article itself is really short and has too little content (Level S). It also contains some incorrect/inaccurate information about this topic.

Option 2: Wagakki Band

Wagakki Band is one of the two Japanese rock bands that I extremely like. They combined Japanese traditional music with pop rock music so perfectly that they are becoming cultural shock for a lot of people. The article is level S as well and I still see some important information about the band missing in the article.

Based the starting date of two variety show above and the characteristics of them, the information in the HInatazaka 46 page is partially wrong. The first variety show of this group is Let's Meet at Hinatazaka (日向坂で会いましょう)　since it is their regular variety show (this means this show will keep going once per week until the group is disbanded) and it started earlier than Hinabingo. Hinabingo is seasonal variety show and there's usually a blank time period between each season from one week to a couple of months, which means it is not continuous. The information of variety shows is nearly completely missing on the page of Hinatazaka 46, as it is one of their most important ways to attract fans.




Hinatazaka46 (Japanese: 日向坂46) is a Japanese idol group produced by Yasushi Akimoto.

The group was created on November 29, 2015 as Hiragana Keyakizaka46, an affiliated act of Keyakizaka46 and part of the Sakamichi Series along with their sister group Nogizaka46. On February 11, 2019, Hiragana Keyakizaka46 announced that they were forming an independent group named Hinatazaka46, named after Hyūgazaka street in Minato-ku, Tokyo, which uses the same kanji. The new group debuted with a single titled "Kyun" on March 27, 2019.

The captain of the group is Kumi Sasaki. The group has appeared in multiple variety shows, including Keyakitte Kakenai?, Keyabingo!, Hiragana Oshi as Hiragana Keyakizaka46 and Hinabingo!, Hinatazaka de Aimashō as Hinatazaka46.
