They also mention Inaba's high skill and good dancing.

Awww this made me so Happy ! I was thinking about something like this happening !

[wotakubrandon]

YAAAAAAAAAAS!

Weren't we just talking about this?

[Obsidian]

Tsunku mentioned something about it at new year, that he might do something about it did he?

So this will be under H!P it's not just Hokkaido girls, I wonder if Kenshuusei will get a bye through the earlier rounds like MM auditions? ...will they add in MM members? gahhh too many questions. Pleased though!

If anything this gives them a chance.
There are at least half a dozen Trainees completely capable and ready to debut.
Now's the time to put them into action.

An odd-numbered group of Trainees and new girls would be perfect.

MANAAKAAAAAAA!!!!

[Denki]

Manaka should be like the first member added to the group.

[Sohee]

HAHA SO AMUSED
He actually went through with it. Awesome.
This will be interesting.

[boinsie]

They should have done it while Satoda still had time to "be part of" the decision process! Oh well. ^^;
