Perhaps she was one of the strongest girls, but she didn't show a lot of growth or didn't put in a lot of effort and therefore Tsunku and the team decided she wasn't a Morning Musume type of girl. (Ala Murakami Sara of 10th gen auditions) Then she came back determined and her story made her seem perfect for Angerme. I mean it did seem like her singing has grown since her last audition. She sounds amazing.
Not the best Japanese either, but I think the instructor asked if she practiced, she said yes, instructor said "well it doesn't seem like it. I don't expect perfection, but not having changed/improved at all is no good." Then she proceeded to ask Moe how long she practiced and I think she said half an hour (?) and the instructor laughed a bit and said that really doesn't seem like enough time for practice.
But I agree, her story of being revived into H!P from Taiki Bansei, and then going for Angerme, and then getting in, is such a fitting story, and that she sounded a lot better after 1 year.
Yeah that's pretty much what I was getting! Thanks for confirming!!! I think my hunch is right for why she didn't get into 12th but got into Angerme. Either way I'm glad she's in HP now. I'm excited to see her in Angerme.
