12ki member "Mirai Shoujo" Audition - FINISHED.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Yeah, it seems like a decent number to me. I wouldn't be surprised if another 1,000 or so were pulled in because of the extended audition dates.

[Sohee]

The fun part will be to hear the new numbers in July. *_*

[Rika-chan]

I'm waiting this part with happiness !!!

I really want Rikako and Kishimoto Yumeo as 12th generation x.x

Kishimon is that kinda dark skinned girl that hes looking for. If not this gen, hopefully the next but with that said she hasn't improved that much.
Same with Rikako, they still have room to grow into.

With Reina gone I'm expecting him, hoping rather, to only add one killer vocalist girl. Let's be honest - without Reina the group is... lacking.

Sakura is great vocally, but for some reason I can't see her voice carrying all the leads that Ai and Reina held. Masaki could potentially hold her ground as lead, I think. Riho we all know has her...limitations. Mizuki is just..bland vocally. Nothing pops. Ayumi has improved a lot, but for the time being she'll still get autotuned. and the other girls will eternally remain background fodder until Kudo takes on the husky Chisato like role in the group.

[Sohee]

Sakura, Masaki and Mizuki are all promising on the vocal front. Especially Sakura and Masaki, but what they lack -- which also probably is the reason people have a hard time seeing them lead like Ai or Reina did -- is confidence. Once they get that confidence down - much like Riho already has - they'll surprise many people.

Not saying I don't want a good vocalist though, definitely. Honestly though, vocals just isn't my priority in girls this time. Outstanding personality plz.
