It seems that prior to Produce 101, Kasahara Momona, Shimizu Keiko, and Aoki Yuka went abroad to Korea and passed the "KPOP Idol Audition Course" at the KPOP ART SCHOOL (KAS) and were selected to be trainees in Produce 101. It is a KPOP study abroad program for foreign students.

The school acknowledges them becoming trainees for Produce 101 Japan.

Here is KAS using Shimizu Keiko's video interview to show that she is a Japanese student in Korea.

Nakano Kokona also went to KPOP ART SCHOOL but participated in a different audition camp in the middle of the year. Whereas Momona and Keiko went to a KPOP Idol Audition Course when the year started.
They used her audition video recorded in May 2023 for recruitment promotion
