Oh I hate 1 girl audition winners. (But I don't have much to compare to, Aika and Koharu. Maki doesn't count because I never watched her auditions.) But at least she can sing, I like Sakura.



I was hoping for a little more surprise? I guess since they are doing the open rehearsal for the fans, this was going to be part of concert so it would have been leaked early anyway, but still. Image



I feel like I just got my present already opened and shoved into my face before the party!

The result.

This was by far the worst audition yet.

Not because of the result, but because of what Saya already said.

I don't know shit about any of the girls and I have no fucking clue why they didn't tell us about them sooner.



Who the fuck had the idea to plan it like this !?

She's already sup on the website, looking very cute might I add.

But I'm hoping for a classic Tsunku troll, like what happened with Mizuki, even though I know it's really only 1 girl...I can still hope can't I? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... pyeyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':puppyeyes:' />

According to Jplop, they already held the open rehearsal for those ticket winners from the Album release. So I gather that the reason for releasing Sakura's name since she was present at the concert.



I'm hoping Tsunku pulls a troll move and brings more girls for opening day, but seriously I'm not holding out any hope of that. (Because Tsunku never gives me what I want. TROLL!)



This probably was a timing issue and that stupid Satoyama show sucks so much it can't bring anyone any happy.



Oh and considering she's and egg, I bet the girl's going to perform too. Haha 11th gen, 11 members. (THAT AIN'T FUNNY!)



Watching the video, They cut Ayano's hair! Image

I'm good with this decision, girl deserved it as she was really the only one capable of singing strong (though Haruka was close).

YES NOW TAKE AWAY RIHO'S LINES SO I CAN LOOP MM SINGLES WITHOUT BECOMING ANNOYED AGAIN!



Her reaction is the best. She doesn't say anything! Just smiles, then has the shock, and finally tears of happiness. I ADORE HER ALREADY.

That is a Tsunku thing to do.

"Oh, the others needed more training, but here's the one that could go to work straight away!"

I'm also disappointed she was an egg, but I guess that's the only way to get an "ace" straight away.

Well, since I don't follow who's in Eggs, I didn't realize Sakura was already part of H!P.



I don't care, she was the best choice out of the six finalists. I also don't care that she was the only one chosen. It's currently Reina/Riho and the Musumes anyways. Why add more background girls? I'm happy with the result. Even if she reminds me of Takahashi Ai more than ever. :D

She looks a lot like Mai in those photos.



I wonder if she'll be in the Wakuteka's MV.

Wtf, I'm totally confused. I understand that they had an open rehearsal and therefore needed to make the announcement now... but they knew they were going to have that rehearsal. What was stopping them from airing more audition footage earlier? Did training camp footage air in Japan before the announcement was made? Or was it just like hey this girl won!!! Oh yeah other people auditioned, you can watch that if you want to waste your time learning about the losers. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nfused.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':confused:' />



Blaaah. Well, she can sing. From this clip she sounds pretty good, she's definitely better than any of the 9th and 10th gen were at their auditions and she doesn't have a squeaky kid voice so hurray for that. I agree with people saying it's weird to have the only winner be an egg... it makes the audition process seem even more pointless. But I'm glad that at the very least she's not another Koharu/Aika. I wish she hadn't cut her hair, she was way cuter with it long. She has kind of an odd face. At some angles she looks really pretty and much older than her actual age. At other angles she just looks awkward. I'm sure the makeover people will take care of that with a little time. I guess we just have to wait and see about her personality. She seems soft spoken and not a huge diva (for a lone winner) but everyone kind of seems like that in the auditions. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':tongue:' />

WTF?? They couldn't just keep her out of the open rehearsal? It's her first day, how much is she really gonna get out of it anyway?



I like her, but following the 9th gen audition rekindled a lot of excitement in MM for me and this feels reeeeeally disappointing. And I liked her hair much better long too.

I'm happy for her, but I just hope I like her later on. 1member gens are always 50/50 so I could see a bunch of people disliking her later on. But she's cute and sings well so I'll take her!



Im hoping there is a big surprise at tomorrow's concert! Or at least something to explain what Solarblade posted.

Anyone want to tell us her full name?

(Keeping 11th Gen down to one makes it easier for me to learn the new...member.)

Madara, her name is all over the thread. Oda Sakura. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' />



Footage of the announcement to MM



I love the 9/10 gen reactions. And Sayumi's "WTF her outfit is way flashier than the rest of ours!!"



It looks like the eggs were just there as part of the 15th anniversary celebration event. There are caps of other OGs on the screen too, so I think the rogue Asuka image was probably part of a celebration of the history of MM bit. It'd be cool if she actually gave comments.

I'm excited. I didn't want to get too invested in a huge audition process anyway, because it's since I skipped the 9th and 10th auditions that I think I don't have any real beef with any of the girls.



I'm glad it's a one girl winner who can ACTUALLY sing for once. PLUS she's cute, and isn't 12. I mean....13 isn't too far off. But not 12!





<3 My new favorite? We'll see. Probably not more than Ayumin though.

Yay for Sakura! I'm glad she won! Her reaction was really sweet. I'm kind of underwhelmed by the way the presented her, though. But her costume was cute when they introduced her.

Why is everyone assuming line distribution will change because of this new girl? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... unsure.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':unsure:' />



And she's cute and can sing and I like the name Sakura. Winner all around for me.

I don't think there will be a drastic line change (unfortunately) but she'll probably always be guaranteed a line or two since she's the only one in her gen. At least for awhile.

Thank you, TnB.



Oda Sakura, or, as we say it in America, Sakura Oda. I think I've got it memorized already. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />



I wonder if she's related to the legendary Nobunaga Oda:

Nobunaga Oda



In the clip TnB provided, Miss Oda looks much younger than everyone when she first comes out, even Haruka. But once she puts on that red satin dress it's a whole new ball game. I'm intrigued. How will she affect the dynamic of the current lineup?



She looks a lot like Mai Hagiwara, only more demure.



There's something classically Japanese about her face and haircut. I hope they put her in a kimono soon.

Maybe they can do Sakura Gumi's "Sakura Mankai" in a future concert.

Ok earlier I turned off the announcement footage that masa posted in disappointment (at the announcement, not at Sakura), but I finished watched it and her introduction to the other girls and I'm finding myself immediately captivated by her for some reason. Maybe it's her impressions of/obvious interest in Miki. She knows what's good!



Seriously though, in all the auditions I followed as they were happening I've never been so drawn to someone right from the start who actually made it in. Hopefully she'll get more awesome and I won't get sick of her.



Edit: also, looks like Ayumi's and Haruka's injuries are ok after all?

Overall, I'm pleased. The girl can obviously sing, and I think we desperately need somebody like that in Momusu.



Easily the best vocalist in Momusu since LinLin, and I'm just basing that on audition footage.



Hope the makeover people at H!O can do their usual wonders on her.

This choice is soooooo......... bleh....



I don't think she can sing, she shouts quite well though. Her voice has no.... magic, no x-factor..... kinda bland and lame.



And announcing it like this... WORST AUDITION EVER.



Maybe I'm too quick to condemn and I hope she can improve her singing now she's in MM, but you wait and see, we'll all be bored of her shoutey vocals pretty quickly.

This girl looks like a goddamn cave troll. She was also born in 1999. I was almost done with fucking high school when she was COMING OUT OF HER MOTHER. Its just a little too weird. It also doesn't actually matter if she can sing or not since all of their recent music is just chanting or auto-tune to the point of being unrecognizable as a human voice <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />
