Welcome Oda Sakura to Morning Musume!

[Shoujo Q]

Rob, you're running on dangerous territory again. And really turning into a creep, stop making this about Karin every other post.





Anyway, onto audition related news. According to Jplop, a girl tweeted her letter for acceptance into the 3rd round, but then deleted the post. Haven't heard anything else about it though.



You can see the full story (As well as pictures) at this blog.

[momoirosaya]

The person who notified Tsunku is not cool, especially after reading the message they wrote him "Don't let this girl with no motivation in..." They don't even know the girl! Geez.



Sucks for her though. But it's her own fault if she gets disqualified, even though it must be really sad for her if she does. She's cute, but looks like NMB's (former H!P Osaka member) Yamada Nana. I would have welcomed another older girl though since half of them are like 10.

[Anderei]

She looks really pretty. Not cool, dude.

[Enmiz]

Well, Tsunku replied with "Who?" to whomever it was who tweeted him about it, so maybe she's not in too much trouble? After all, she wasn't the one who revealed her name, right? It was Internetizens. But, it is still her fault for not following the rules.



I kind of agree with the person on JPLOP who said the rules about not revealing your audition status are almost a test to see if a girl can control herself and act with discretion. Showbiz can be harsh, I assume.

[Farrah]

She looks seriously pretty and like she would be able to handle sexy concepts. What a waste if she gets disqualified. No interest if she can't sing, though :P Although at this point, since they are determined to shove the strong singers in the back (Mizuki, Haruka) and shove weak singers to the front (Riho, Ayumi), maybe singing talent would be a waste, too.



Reminds me of the girl from the 8th gen auditions who made it to the finals, despite pictures of her website getting leaked and being covered in pictures of her all up on half naked boys, with pot leaves and naked silhouette gifs everywhere.

Oh chill out, I was only having a laugh



There isn't actually anything to talk about yet anyway ;-/



That girl who blogged about her acceptance probably won't get in now, not sure they will DQ her but I'm guessing it shows quite a huge lack of respect for rules, which I'm guessing is pretty important, if she's already a pain before she's even joined....

[Anderei]

No worse than Reina lying about her age the first time she auditioned, really.



Kanon was actually posting on a forum letting people know she passed the rounds, but I guess it doesn't matter if no one knows who you are?

[MiniLovely]

Is posting about passing actually against a rule? Where is it written? What are the rules for these auditions, anyway?



Shame she might have blown her chances. Maybe something else will turn up for her.

Pretty sure if you sign up for auditions and get to the second round they make you sign some kind of contract that agrees with certain things (being filmed etc.).

[Anderei]

This week's Satoyama episode is going to have a bit of 11th gen audition stuff in it.



Oh, and the third round ended today. 11th gen will probably be introduced during the fall concert.

[rob]

Before the 9th gen... how did we survive so long without graduations and auditions???



SO excited!

[BonkyuAsh]

Because that line up was amazing. That's why.

Yeh I won't argue about that, it wasn't all good though, we still had to put with Koharu and Aika.



The graduation concert for Eri, JunJun and LinLin was one of the best mm concerts of all time.



But I also like the build up of a new group too, 9th and 10th gens are improving fast, 11th gen will more than likely be a girl who can sing really well.



So while I do like looking back at old line ups that were awesome, I also like new lineups that are becoming awesome.

Ugh... so I have to watch that show? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /frown.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':frown:' />



I'm excited though! Audition excitement is fun.

[yuzuriha]

Trying to decide if I'm going to watch audition stuff this time around...I think the fact that I ignored it for 9th and 10th gen is why I don't have any members that I loathe from those two generations. Vs 6th, 7th, and 8th.

Because the girls actually did some shows and stuff.

Even if it was "just" Moutube.

Sure, Moutube was crap, but it was our girls doing crap...



The H!P shows that came after it were so uninteresting for me personally, I don't think I've watched more than 3 episodes of anything since Haromoni ended.

Same here, I did not bother at all. I used to love getting up at 6AM to watch the episode of HaroMoni from two weeks earlier or whatever when I was studying abroad though.



It used to make me really hungry.

[Shoujo Q]

You don't even want to know how long it took me to post this. Really. (I need my computer back.)



The first bit of audition footage has been shown. Thank Jplop for this video, I don't think I could stand the hours of searching I'd probably have to do to find this.

[Mukuro]

The host has an annoying voice. I want Nanami to get in the next round, she's my favorite. But I also like the girl at 1:24, she's not an Egg, right?





I spot a Mogi! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... ek3run.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':eekrun:' />

[Anderei]

She's not an Egg, but she is a former NGP member and is currently apart of Akihabara Backstage Pass. Two of the other girls are NGP trainees as well.



I saw Hinako from the 10th gen auditions, so it looks like she's giving it another shot. For those who don't remember her:

[Duncan]

Man, seeing a lot of familiar faces. Remember when girls would audition and then just disappear? (... or get picked up by a rival agency.) You think it's because the pool of ladies is getting smaller, or is this an effect of letting Eggs in on the game?

[Anderei]

Probably since they're showing Eggs, although quite a few of them are new. Assuming they've auditioned at very opportunity, some of them have auditioned 3 or 4 times by now.

No, please no...

[momoirosaya]

I just saw a bunch of eggs and a few new girls. More than half the girls they showed were eggs, but that doesn't mean that any one they showed made it to the 4th round. I saw Kurumi, Fuyuka, Nanami, Ayano, Mogi, the new one that looks like Sakichi...

[Pi Mako]

Well, looks like the inclusion of Mogi in Morning Musume is inevitable <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/dry.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='<_<' />



Interesting how most the girls shown are eggs. At least the girls from 1:17-1:45 have decent voices......

[Enmiz]

Mogi... Granny-hair Musume.



They all seemed so young. I want an older girl, dangit!

[BonkyuAsh]

I love mogi and she has improved so much in eggs and even got cuter.

Screw the haters.

I'd rather see her in than Karin.

[al kusanagi]

LOL no...



Nanami is the only true answer.

[Anderei]

I didn't think Mogi was that bad during the auditions. Her problem was a lack of confidence and she took criticism poorly. I don't think she's anymore of a lost cause than Haruna is.

[Shoujo Q]

I have no idea who anyone is. There was like, one girl I liked, maybe two. I watched the HQ version this morning.



Mogi, she's suffering a horrible case of the Puberties. I have a feeling she's going to be super tall like Yurina. She also has a little halfie quality to her which makes me wonder if there isn't a bit of a mix in here somewhere in her lineage.



Sakura, she's got the weirdest mouth ever and it creeps me out, but as far as singing goes she's not bad. I love the little chubbie Ogawa Saki. Though she JUST became an egg. That would be the biggest back handed slap to the entire generation of eggs that came before her if she got in. But I'd totally laugh if she did.
