Road to 2016: The Hopes, Dreams, Fears and Predictions of a Year to Be

I like my apples like I like my Idols, with a bit of punch...~

...  well, maybe not that amount of punch...

The Dawn of a New Year is emerging, and 2015 is rushing to a close as its own chapter ends, so in these last few hours of the year, it's about high time to return to the annual joy that is this; my Hopes, Dreams, Fears and Predictions for the year to come, a post dedicated to the random musings of my own muddled mind, and all I think may just happen in the year to come, or at least, the things I want to happen, or what I do not want to happen. It is all contained here, wrapped up pretty and nice whilst I anticipate the new year!

Seriously, this series has been with me since 2011, and I honestly never get tired of doing it! It's a fun way to round off each end of the year, whilst simultaneously celebrating the birth of a new one. Also, it's a great way to get you guys to think about what you want from the on-coming year, as well as allowing you to create your own predictions and hopes, some possible fears, for the Idols you love and adore. It's a bit of fun, nothing to be taken too seriously, and something to look back on before another new year starts to see just what came true!
 Seriously, the process is a fun one, even if it does take time to create!

Anyway, going off on that part about looking back before a new year begins, how about we take a small looksy at the Predictions of 2015 that actually came true. Shall we~?

2015's Hopes, Dreams, Fears and Predictions that came True:

Hello! Project (7/15 came true) (Over half way... that is a lot better than I expected!)

• ANGERME release good stuff <--- IT HAPPENED, IT WAS EPIC, K!?

• Ogata Haruna isn't pushed back. At all. <--- No, she was not.

• Wake Up, Girls! return, and I continue to swoon <--- They returned, that's good enough for me!
• Yuuka Ueno becomes my Soloist Oshi (and continues to release fabulour music) <--- She did the deed on the second half.Soloist Oshi she is not... yet.

Personal (2/7 came true) (Welp, at least some came true... ;D)

• Read... MORE!!! <--- I actually read quite a few books, so yeah, proud of myself!
• Get through my first year of University <--- I made it into the second, didn't I? ;D

... Gosh, a lot came true, and that makes me happy! It means that, somehow, my muddled mind can work in mysterious ways and predict the fuzze future ;D
 But no, honestly, that's a good amount for my predictions, especially the Houkago Princess ones! I was on a roll!

The question now, however, is this; will I be on a roll with next years predictions, or will very few come true? Well, we have a year to find out, but until that time comes, I say let's predict, and let's enjoy.

These are my 2016 Hopes, Dreams, Fears and Predictions for a Year to Be. On this Road, will we cross the paths of what we fear most, or find the Dreams we never thought could be a reality? Read on to find out what, for me, are my own ideas of the year that has yet to be...

2015 ~A New Year's Hopes, Dreams, Fears & Predictions~

A New Year is upon us, rather like Saorin is nearly on top of Maika... er, *ahem*

The fact that this isn't a Hello! Pro/MoMusu image is alarming

With 2014 coming to its close and 2015 happening in only so many hours, of course I only feel its right to once again return to my year-end bonanza that is my Predictions, Hopes, Dreams, Fears and much more for the on-coming storm that will surely be the year '15, and leave my last post of 2014 with what I think will happen in the on-coming New Year.

As per tradition here on the land of Okay! Musume Time, ever since 2011 in fact (old series is old!), I will be thinking about what I would like to happen, what I think will happen, and what I don't want to happen for 2015, whether it is Idol related or something to do with my personal life - whatever it may be, I write it here for all to see. The wishes/hopes/fears may be serious, some will be jokey, but no matter what, they are, for me, my own way of celebrating the New Year and the surprise it will surely bring us all.

So, without any further delay, let's get into the Predictions, Hopes, Dreams and Fears I have set for 2015, and run head-on into the New Year! It's not here just yet, but we're getting there, so to prepare myself, and maybe you guys as well, I have devised my own little thoughts of what could be into a list. I wonder, what will be on it?

You will have to read on and see...~
