In 2011, I wouldn't be surprised if they canned the whole "subunits revival for all" concept entirely. It was half assed and we haven't seen even one single produced from it, not to mention that 2 groups haven't even gotten a new song yet. They'll probably have some goofy new idea. I want a Sakura and Otome revival.



I wonder if they're crazy enough to double the member count. 5 old & 5 new, then just mix them up.

But I think the whole concept for the revived units were just for nostalgia and maybe to keep the old fans since the Elder Club was gone. Until LinLin, Eri, & JunJun were announced to graduate, I was hoping for an audition then they would revive Sakura Gumi & Otome Gumi since if they did another shuffle concert they wouldn't be left out. But I'm guessing that either the revived units will be scraped, he might actually do a revival of the summer units or he wil just keep them going and replace JunJun, LinLin, & Eri with the new girls.

If they do that, who is leading Tanpopo?

Aika, not bloody fucking likely.

Viyuden seems like the kind of group that is based on chemistry, (as it has been)

New girls to replace major roles is just dumb, NOT TO MENTION ANY ADDITION TO TANPOPO MEANS THAT THE GIRL'S LAST NAME MUST HAVE "#" AT THE END. I don't want someone's existence in H!P to be dependent on that. I suppose I'd be fine with all new girls getting thrown into ZYX, the designated "big group with leftovers you don't give a shit about" of the shuffle. Also, if Tanpopo swirls into the red lipstick depression mode over losing Eri, <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... umbsup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> I would find this interesting because the current set is anything but Emo#.



P.S. Sub unit revivals attract old fans about as much as hearing Koharu butcher Kousui would attract MKB fans. The revival just makes old fans bitter about the classic girls being underused and essentially JOBLESS. It was fun -sure, and some of the songs brought back fond memories, but having the new blood do classic "sacred" songs isn't really what old fans all want.



This subunit revival is a cheap and easy way to justify doing old songs that were great, since current material pales in comparison. Plus to pretend that shuffle units (the most fun and creative aspect of H!P) still has some form. Yet, it's all forced and half assed. Takahashi & Reina singing with 3 backup dancers, if it doesn't sound familiar, wait till the end of the Autumn tour...

I know, I am so late to the game. I haven't been on this board in forever. I was of course crushed at first, questioned my fandom, then came to terms with it and only hope that Tsunku doesn't add in 10 year olds. And we need at least three new members. Am happy that eggs can audition as I would love to see Miyamoto Karin in Musume. I think Kikkawa Yuu is too old now, though I might be wrong.



On another note, I magically won a ticket to the last show through fanclub lottery so I won't be going broke to try and see the concert. If there are any plans to put together memorial albums I can take those with me to the concert.

I would also be, as the kids today say, "in." I wonder if Aika would have time to read my page of just a single picture of me giving the peace sign while I hold a tiny paper note in my other hand that says "aika 4 laifu || who is also my waifu" in between sessions of drinking yogurt from a tube and living a totally rad, action-based, nonstop life of an idol.

I could be way off... but.... the concerts which will probably hold the graduations are called "Rival Survival"



anyone else feeling a way that certain members may be able to avoid graduation..... or am I being WAY too hopeful of a JunJun reprieve?

It appears you've reached the denial (bargaining perhaps?) phase of grief. Please brace yourself as depression will come next (most likely as it becomes much closer to graduation), but the good news is that one day you will be able to accept this.

That would be great! But when were Tsunku's surprises good? It would be more like him to come out and say the new 5-nin single has to sell 50k in a week or the rest of the girls can also consider themselves "graduated".

Not really. It's just a notice that the second screening is done and now the third one is beginning?

Google Translate says that.



08 November 2010

Audition Notice from the Office



The two screening ended.

Visitors pass through a secondary screening, we sent by mail to inform you Itashi screening 3.

I'm still mad over the while Kikkawa Yuu thing. They better air this on Bijo Gaku. It'd be 100x better than Manoben. You already went over what the marriage lines mean Mano! I don't need to know 50 million times!

Manoben is seriously the WORST FUCKING SEGMENT H!P has ever done on a show. I actually really enjoy all the other parts of Bijo Gaku, but fucking Manoben. Ugh. I love her but I cannot endure 15 minutes of her doing that.

I thought about making a new thread for just the audition, but considering Tsunku probably will wait till the graduation concert to announce the members, it seemed kind of pointless?



Anyway I guess there will be some audition coverage on Bijou Gaku if H!O and these images is anything to go by.

Image





I'm excited are you excited? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':punch:' />



I guess there were 9,000+ auditioners.



Pick the ugliest funniest looking one and she'll probably be a member. And also pick the ones that'll eventually end up in AKB48. It'll be fun! Games are fun! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />



There are other girls (some much prettier and even a Linlin look-a-like) but that involves finding the latest episode of Bijou Gaku and I don't have it. :x (Nor am I stealing ALL the screencaps from H!O)

It's uncanny!



Other than that, I don't know. Only the 2nd picture, top row, 2nd from the left was not caught in a trainwreck-like still, so I'll hold back passing any judgements or getting any hopes for now.



But it's exciting all right! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':punch:' />

Finnnnnnnnally we get to see some faces at least. I wanna watch the clips then decide. It's crazy to think it'll be one of them~~ Unless Tsunku pulls another gigantic "NOT!" again.



I can't wait to see the idol transformation~ They look dull right now. (to be fair, they always do at the audition~~~ <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':punch:' /> )
