Morning Musume. '14 12th gen - Golden audition

[Shabranikuduu]

Ogata sort of looks like SU-METAL to me. They're both cute.

Well I'm not gonna judge since I only know the two trainees by pictures and the other two girls are mostly unknown but hopefully they can get to the levels of the current Momusu members. No pressure but don't screw things up!

In other news, it finally happened. I've been a Momusu fan longer than a member has been alive.

They seem so plain right now, but they'll change soon enough, they don't have exactly very distinct and unique faces right now that leave an impression.
So it'll be interesting to see how much they've changed in a year.

Makino really stands out. I can already feel the tension and hostility, oooh this is gonna be so much fun!!!
A bit uncomfortable with them being all so young looking, except Makino Maria who hit puberty like what.

Miki's birthday is in a week! Probably her best (early) birthday present ever.

It's taken me all of two hours, but I'm really starting to get some center vibes off of Maria.

As for the other girls I still have very little to say about them. They don't stand out from their photos.

I feel like a mother pregnant for the second time and worried she won't love her new baby as much as her first child.

I really want to like these girls, but I don't feel anything when I look at the photos. I need audition footage ASAP.

didn't realize Maria was that tall already O.o

Yep, cute gen alright... visual wise, high hopes for their future and the group as a whole.
As it should be, there's gonna be a gigantic hole left behind in that department in two months after all T T, but pretty much all of them aright now has the potential to be the "face" of the group looks wise imo.

Wonder when we'll get to hear the other two's singing voice, hope they're at the very least up to snuff to the group's baseline. Even better if we get another on Sakura's level

----little tidbits from oricon

-first member from Osaka and Nagano prefecture (Ogata and Haga)
-Makino and Haga are already highly appraised by the fans as demonstrated by the very loud cheers when they're announced.
-Ogata has been figure skating since she was 5, her special skill is a 2 and a half rotating double axle(wut)
-Nonaka is someone returning from abroad, due to her father's work in Illinois and Alabama.

Maria is the cutest one here to me.
Ogata needs to be careful. She's cute right now but I see the chance that she'll become the 2nd zukki or maasa. The shape of her face does resemble
Su-metal a little bit. But Su-metal has a more outstanding look(especially eyes).
The 2 KSS definitely have better figure.The training paid off I guess.

Oh no, I'm starting to like Haruna 2.

Must see more of her.
