what



I'll get back with you when I pick myself up off the floor.

[Anderei]

This is a joke, right?





Also lol this was totally topic worthy and definitely not spam.

[EmEl]

I guess the management wants Smileage to be their new MM. They wanna keep milking this even when these girls lose their fresh legs. There doesn't seem to be an area on the form to attach nothing but a picture of one's legs.

[momoirosaya]

My heart literally stopped beating.

[Mukuro]

Woah really? Yeah need to think about this more,it's like May is audition announcment month. I guess it's good they announce it after one year of S/Mileage, I love how no one saw this coming.

[momoirosaya]

This news is too big not to have it's own thread~~

[Anderei]

I do recall them saying waaaaay back when S/mileage was still under TNX that the lineup was subject to change.





SO THEY PLAYED US ALL FOR TWO YEARS.



Arama translated the app:



It was announced today at S/mileage's one year anniversary event that they are taking in applications for a new member!

[mrsross]

I'm going to join in with everybody by saying WHAT!?!



They're perfect just the way they are.

[momoirosaya]

I just realized. This must be why their next single was pushed back to August, since the new member will join in late June or July.

｢モーニング娘。10期メンバー『元気印』オーディション」に応募されている方も参加可能です。但し、両方合格した場合、両方のグループに所属することはできません。

"It's all good if you're also participating in the MM 10th Gen Audition; however, if you pass both auditions, you can't be in both groups."



EDIT: Oh, Anderei edited in another translation as I wrote this. I just thought it was amusing, but that arama translation makes it sound like they get to choose. It doesn't exactly say who gets to choose.

[tsukinobyouin]

I will only accept this as a good idea if they intend to get rid of Racist-chan and replace her with someone more talented who is also cute and...not a racist. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />



(I like how as I pop by the forum before going to bed, I scold myself - it's not like there's going to be some big shocking news right now! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />)

[al kusanagi]

A hundred fucking times NO! What the fuck kind of retarded decision is this?

[Anderei]

Whose decision was this anyway? I honestly don't think it's Tsunku's since he's never done this with any group besides Morning Musume and he's not so much of a twit to think that S/mileage's lineup wasn't fine the way it was.

And that is why arama should never be used as a source for anything. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... lesson.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lesson:' /> That translation is misleading and makes it seem like a set up for the next big gimmick. Although this entire audition is a gimmick to begin with.

[al kusanagi]

It's gotta be that goddamned Naoki Yoshizawa who has been fucking up HP since 2002.

[Tsujiji]

I'll be team captain for the other team. I am totally cool with them adding another member.



SO HERE'S THE GAME PLAN! (1) ADD MIYAMOTO KARIN. (2) END COMPETITION. (3) WIN WITH EXCELLENT UNIT. (4) GO OUT FOR BEERS.



However, we all know they have their 5 member already picked out... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/hurr.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hurr:' />

That would be extremely fast turnaround if the first stage of interviews ends on June 19.

Sadly they won't be getting rid of the leader I would assume.

Now I'm just sad.

......I don't want S/mileage to be the new MM. I want S/mileage to be S/mileage. I don't want lines to start getting uneven, and have some new girl upfront (get it? :D) the other girls. And S/mileage were all eggs so they were more experienced. Therefore, the new girl must be an egg (or former egg Saho).

What? Dawa is freaking adorable.

Proof.

[showraniy]

Oh, dear. Now I think the death bells can be effectively said as being tolled for MM.

[Anderei]

Maybe I'm just dense, but I don't see how this would signal the end of Morning Musume? They've still got that nostalgia factor and being a name that a lot of people still recognize, even if they're not very popular anymore, something S/mileage doesn't have and might never have.





Also, Tsunku's made some comments on his twitter about never saying that this lineup was permanent apparently. He's such a troll.

[eri]

What? My reaction is the opposite of everyone.



I looove smileage so the more the merrier.



Yayyyyyy

That performance doesn't make her any less racist. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' /> I was mostly saying that as a joke, but she is my least favorite in the group. I feel like her voice sticks out as most grating, and nothing about her makes up for that the way say...Sayu makes up for her own voice. I would have preferred Saho Akari over her from the Shugo Chara Egg lineup, but so is the way of H!P.

Seriously, do we have to now spread this crap into the non-MM threads too? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />

[al kusanagi]

It doesn't have shit to do with MM, but it ruins S/mileage. They were supposed to be the next MKB with an unchanging four girl lineup. Assholes.

[momoirosaya]

These 4 are just too great together...

[al kusanagi]

Their anniversary event is starting on niconicodouga now, and the vast majority of the comments about this are negative. Fuck the man. Four is the bestest number!!!

[eri]

Its 3am here. Can't wait to get IP tomorrow and check out their blogs.



Change is scary so I can understand the concern that the group dynamic will be hurt by this. But, I don't know, I am excited and happy for them. I can't wait to see who gets added. And its not like the current members are leaving.

[al kusanagi]

3am here and I'm watching them live. Bloody casual. Support them before they get RUINED!!!

[al kusanagi]

Dammit, the girls looks visibly bummed out and stressed. They don't want new members either. Bastards.

[al kusanagi]

Listening to Tsunku it sounds like some bullshit revolving member shit. The girls are hating on it. Fucking listen to the fans for once and don't ruin them goddammit!!!
