New Country Musume auditions (Country・Girls)

[Denki]

All that money they could have spent somewhere else is now gone.

With idols rising in female popularity, you are going to get large amounts of girls who auditioned because they want to be idols.... but if most of them are hungry for the moneyZ according to the judges, then you pretty much have an impossible audition.

Also, with Berryz Kobo's indefinite hiatus, I could see that maybe they are going to start their focus on a new KSS unit. It's tends to be a larger hype than a revival group.

one more thing, if they're really that concerned about girls who are just in it for the "fame" how did they not pick up on 'miracle" member koharu? lelel
if anything she's probably why they're more concerned about such girls.

One thing that I'm afraid of with these auditions without results is that girls are going to start avoiding them.
In the sense of: "Oh, it's a H!P audition? Don't bother, those tend to not lead to anything worthwhile."
I'm worried that genuine talent may go unnoticed.

If you discount Sakura because she was already a Trainee, this is now three auditions open to the general public in a row with no new girls being brought in as a full-fledged member.
They can't keep doing this.

This is hilarious. I was looking forward to this permanent SATOYAMA group.

[Jessi]

Not gonna lie, this is really disappointing and frustrating.

[Reina]

Sorry to interrupt, but allow me to correct the translation.

They mentioned:
今回のオーディションでは、大変多くの方々に熱意を持ってご参加いただき、スタッフ一同感謝の意に堪えません。

which means:
We had many auditionees who participated with much enthusiasm, and we can't thank you enough for that.

I hope it clears the doubt

Dammit. I wouldn't be surprised if the Golden audition had "no results". Just throw 6-7 Kenshuusei in this group or something. I don't want to wait until 2015 to get actual results.

[Starra]

Even if 12th gen is just one person, I really really feel like they should add new members. Honestly, I totally understand why Tsunku didn't last time, but with Sayu graduating, it would be a good opportunity to promote MM。’15.

Not that I find ’14 boring at all, but... auditions and new members are fun.

Thx, I edited it up, I knew something didn't feel right about that sentence and I took it a different direction lol.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

Well, somehow I was expecting this.
That's the difference between 10 years ago and now.
10 years ago the girls went in just "oh what the hell, i might as well " and now they go in "I wanna be famous!!" because they love so many idol groups.
but idk, let Tsunku and the judges decide, not us. Somehow I feel Tsunku knows better than most of us what is right for his H!P. It IS his, after all...
