12ki member "Mirai Shoujo" Audition - FINISHED.

[Sohee]

She didn't go to the 2nd round, she went to the 1st round.

[AyuHikaru]

I was gonna say, if she passed the first round than that's an accomplishment in of itself.

[Kita St Cyr]

Y'all are haters. Heidi's cute as hell. Go 'head with your adorable self, Heid.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

But nobody said she wasn't cute.

[Kita St Cyr]

no, but saying she looks stupid, dances stiff and 'thank god' she didn't pass are hardly words of encouragement. If she were Asian (pretty much any nationality as long as she could pass for Japanese-ish) the tune around here would be different.

[Sohee]

Yeah so some of us (maybe it's just me) don't want a Caucasian in MM. I'd preferably not even want any Korean or Chinese or whatever either (like I said, Junjun and Linlin took ages to grow on me and then them being Chinese and close to Japan culture-wise probably helped cause they were able to adapt). I'd hardly call that being a hater.

[Starra]

I'd be cool with a foreigner in MM。, but knowing UF it would just be a disaster.

[Sohee]

I'd be cool with a foreigner in H!P -- and not H!P Taiwan or Korea, but actually H!P. Make a group of foreigners or whatever, please. But I want MM to stay Japanese.

[Mixi]

I just don't want a token foreigner in any H!P group anymore. I think those are bad in any idol group, to be honest. It isn't because of the idol herself, but such members never feel quite integrated and are assigned their own special "foreigner role" that doesn't allow them to grow. Half members are ok but exploiting their non-Japanese side too much might make them fall into the token foreigner trap.

Mika Todd could embody this trope.

[Starra]

I would indeed like another foreigner group.

But Idk I can't see UF putting another foreigner in MM。. Especially considering than Junjun and Linkin weren't really that popular and had a lot of trouble with the language barrier.

Maybe if the girl already spoke some Japanaese and had lived in Japan for a while it would be different, but still. I don't think it'll happen.
