Morning Musume. '14 12th gen - Golden audition

[stam4o]

Hmmmm.... I'm woried about that too, it's a risky play....
Though
I can also agree that the mystery factor can be incredibly useful. If they just showed the new members at the announcement date, excepting the possible Kenshuusei ones, the rest, fresh new and almost absolutely unknown girls would give such a natural mystery atraction just by itself. Like they could really have some hidden supertalents....
Don't know if I'm explaining myself well @_@

Anyway, don't know if it's been like that with every audition but man, this is wooooooooahhhh!

They never do this! At least with 11ki we had a list of names and maybe the first week of "hey look at the progress of the auditions" type footage before they suddenly announced Sakura won.

They at least should show the audition footage after the girls are added. And if they do that I still think it would be better to air it on Hello Station rather than the girls live because there would be way more views that way. International fans and even Japanese fans could watch it without having to find some copy on the internet. It's controlled and the money would all go to H!P. The H!P TV shows are always at like 1 am and we end up watching it on YouTube anyway.

It's possible that they're trying something different this time. After all, they already tweaked the audition formula for the 11th gen audition, why not a bit more this time?

That being said, I'm hoping for some footage on H!S or Girls Live because I love auditions.

I think it might be nice to post the footage afterwards, so I hope they do that at least, because as soon as we know who the winners are we'll be grabbing at anything to see what kind of personalities or talents they might have and they could really focus and promote the new girls, maybe even edit the footage to the girls' advantage since they don't need to hide who got in

no idea how true this is

[Starra]

Don't believe anything you see on Tumblr.

[Jessi]

But I want to believe

I will take every rumor possible just to satisfy my need for more information.

It's so close and yet so far!

^^Especially any rumors from tumblr that originally came from 2ch.

Saw this on Tumblr:

Haro-puro:

Auditions are over!
Time to zoom in on every KSS’s hair ends to see whose fresh cut made it to training camp.

I didn't think about this! Did anyone get a haircut recently?

I was just thinking, what with H!P seemingly pushing for "foreign girls", maybe Rikako will be added because of that. After all, I seem to remember that her mum's Filipina.
