New Country Musume auditions (Country・Girls)

[Starra]

Looks like the auditions are over, and nobody passed?

Seems like there was some trouble with it as well from what I can understand.

Hope the outcome is different for the 12th gen audition.

Another audition without results? Ugh...
That's always the last thing one wants to hear.

That's two in a row now though.
I'm getting flashbacks to Lucky 7 (1).

Things are not going well for H!P these last few weeks.
A new unit is sorely needed.

[Starra]

Honestly I have a feeling there'll be a new KSS unit soon. I know I've probably been saying that for months, but this feels like the right time to announce one. Maybe with one new non-KSS girl, like J=J.

[JonCC]

I'll believe it when I see it.

Hope no more KSS leave, but after this it seems likely.

So does this mean CMM 's revival is scrapped?
Admittedly, i would prefer a brand new group than reviving an old one from a different era.

I'll try to read out

(I might be be wrong here, but it's the gist of it)

[JonCC]

it wasn't what the judges were looking for.

20+ Trainees rearing to go and just to your left, dear 'judges'.
Watch them add 5 more from this audition in a few months.

My curisity is how can there be TOO much enthusiasm? I thought H!P loved that kind of atmosphere.

[Shoujo Q]

They wanted a Sakura instead of a Masaki?

[Celedam]

Tsunku has said many times, they don't want girls who come in with the goal of becoming famous or who try to be what they think the judges want. They want girls to be themselves and let their real talents shine through, and I imagine that goes double for a group like Country Musume.

What a joke and complete waste of money and time

I'm annoyed because I was excited, but I'm relieved that we won't have a country musume revival.
that group was such a mess and its hard enough trying to get a new audience to disregard the past for Morning Musume as it is already.

a new unit would be best. hopefully we get a new unit soon, but I wonder if Berryz graduation might influence the timing for a new group's debut.
I hope not, because their ship sailed a long time ago. bye.
