Morning Musume. '14 12th gen - Golden audition

[Shoujo Q]

Considering the timeframe of their auditions, they usually have an announcement 4-5 months after the start of the Audition so September would be the month to annouce them and considering their Budokan concert isn't till October that would be a very long wait.

OMG it's totally gonna be announced on Oct 5th.
just because. They should do that.

So long as we actually get members this time, I don't really care how they do it tbh.

Agreed. I can take an empty audition once or twice in my life but three times is taking the mic.

I don't know who I'm rooting for yet. I mean, we don't know which Kenshuusei are participating (I think like 2 or 3 of them participated in last years) and the outside girls can't really speak of the auditions at this point.

I just want a girl with personality and then some other talent (like singing, dancing, acting), and then an ace-type girl. An actually ace-type girl. Not "She has potential so I'm just going to put her in the front even though she hasn't actually improved her singing/dancing yet.".

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I can't imagine it was only 3 or so Kenshuusei participated in the last few auditions. That's probably just how many were had the chance see in what limited footage they've been giving out, but I'm sure it had to be more than that overall.

My only hope is that the winners aren't revealed to us through some sudden, random YouTube video. Something similar to the format they used for the 9th and 10th generations would be great (for both auditions).

[BerryzCelebration]

I'm talking about last year's specifically. In some magazine interview, only the 2-4 that were featured in it confirmed that they were auditioning.

[Nayoko-Kihara]

That still doesn't mean they were the only ones though? If the rest weren't featured/interviewed and couldn't answer one way or the other. Unless you mean there was a spread specifically for girls that were in the audition. I don't have a great memory when it comes to the last audition, since nothing really happened. (I realize now I could also be reading what you wrote the wrong way, since you don't actually say they were the only Kenshuusei to audition, just that there were at least that many. So if this is the case - sorry about that.)

[BerryzCelebration]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was only for the ones auditioning. The only girl I really remember being in it is Tanabe. It was like 3 other girls too.
