I hope they do another show to document this whole process

I wonder why they only did the fan voting once (6th gen)
Granted it was only one factor at the time but it would be interesting to see

And pleeeeeeeeease let Tsunku be involved

Wow. Have we ever had a CM and promotional video for an audition?

I really wish that they do a documentary style video interview of each current member and upload one or two every week until the application deadline.

Wow, after me and N-K said something in the "Year in Review" thread about having a new audition.

I'm excited about this! And that banner is really pretty.

I'm sooo excited for this since I need someone new to obsess over. I pray for at least one fresh face and one that can sing well enough to join FukuMaaSaku on the "front lines".

Looking at the age requirement for the audition (5th grade to 2nd year high school), Yabai T-Shirts Yasan band vocalist Aribobo Shibata jokingly tweets "Can a 24 year old join a high school to enter?" She plugs the link to the audition to her 130k followers

Then PassCode member Ogami Hinako responds "I was thinking if I can be a high schooler too"

That's so cute. Apparently people are encouraging girls to audition in YT comments and stuff too, and Reira gave some advice to girls that are thinking about trying:
