WHAT?

I'm not sure I want another member in my S/mileage. Oh well, as long as she's as awesome as the other 4. Kind of shocking, really, does that mean S/mileage is audition-graduation based like Morning Musume?

sounds interesting. this will push them to a new level.

Tsunku seems to be answering questions about it

I'm all kinds of excited.
I don't think S/mileage will have graduations, since there has been none so far? They probably just want to have a new member and, like Amped said, push them a little bit. Will give them more exposure too. This will be interesting 8D

i can't wait to see Smileage's reaction on Nico Nico. they've been through so much in their first year.

those leftover eggs got one last shot.

edit : they were interviewed about it

Awesome, thanks. ^^

Exciting. Such a weird feeling because I don't want their awesome 4nin-ness to end, but I'm not really opposed to a new member. She has to be a decent singer because S/mileage has a great record of pretty much never lip-syncing.

Ahaha, someone wrote to Tsunku. "Tsunku-san! Everyone here (at the event) is quite shocked!!!"
To which Tsunku went: "What? Even when S/mileage were formed I said that the numbers of members might not be final."

Trollku.
