Morning Musume. '14 12th gen - Golden audition

[Amped]

3 Harus

Ogata Haruna is in high school, she should dye her hair soon

[stam4o]

-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.

Wuhhhhhhhh, I wonder how will Tsunku and management use that skating ability for the formations. It could be impressive if done well

Uhhhhhhhh only a few hours have passed and I'm already excited for the new members' future and the group too.

And MARIA! I'm so happy she made it. I have never been a fan of her or something but at the last weeks I just started thinking it would be nice to have her in the group and DANG! It happens, so.... YEAH! And the other two girls are still a mystery but I'm starting to see Akane as a perfect choice too

And those introduction photos, they're not very good, looks like they were done in a hurry or something, so all 4 girls look awkawrd as hell
I'm sure they're far more attractive and charming than it seems there

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, so happy about this!!!!!!! <3<<3<3

And have to say it again, MARIA


Also:

Spoiler: show

But it's not normal to overreact like that and "joke" about wanting to die if she doesn't get into S/mileage. I get that you're upset, but really? Talking like that isn't cool.

It was just an expression duhh, nothing serious, just feeling the moment

JUST TO CLARIFY, by the way, I'm not a Rikako anti or anything. I've warmed to her. She's pretty and is really good. I just get annoyed at whiny fans. It's not just you, stam4o, I've seen a lot of it...

If Rikako was added to MM。or S/mileage, I wouldn't complain. She's fine, and yes, I do think she should debut. However, I simply feel like Tsunku's saving her for a new unit. I can't see her fitting in in MM。, and her voice doesn't really work for S/mileage. A new unit with Rikako, maybe Ruru and a bunch of other KSS? I'd be all for that.

^^^Starra and co, can you please move that debate elsewhere? :3

Why? It's relevant, lol.

I understand that and actually I can agree with all of it. I mean, I guess at the bottom I'd also like Rikako to have her own group, but since there's nothing sure yet, I can't avoid feeling bad for her not making it to the already existing groups. Yeah, we don't know if she auditioned but we don't know either what plans they have for her and if she's been told about them, so if she wanted to enter even MM or S/m and she doesn't get in nor she's been informed previously about a future unit including her, that's gotta be hard....
So, it's unavoidable
Also, the new Karin? Ehh, I just like her a lot, nothing more

Actually, even I'm a bit surprised I could be that expressively whiny about this. I'd normally be it for other things, but that...

[Sohee]

Just first impressions of the new girls from Budoukan today.
Haruna seems vary gracious, you can tell she did figure skating, ahaha.
Miki's English... Well damn. @_@ I thought she must have been living abroad or something and as it turns out that she did? Yeeeah. Perfect English.
They're both really cute. <3
Akane? What the hell did that come from o__o
Maria isn't a surprise really. Personally I can't say I think much of her but, eh. She'll be popular. xD

[AyuHikaru]

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

Must see more of her.

Since when do we ever like the same members? lol. Now I'm expecting her to be either suddenly annoying, have a squeaky voice or be a bad dancer, lol.

So Akane and Maria were KSS, right?

Why do I feel like this is a thinly veiled insult on the girls I like >.>

[MarioYaguchi]

Rikako, Cuca and Kikkawa need to form a new unit of fans favs.
KiCuKo.

[Amped]

an official photoset for 12th gen should be out soon. they weren't selling any immediately after the concert like with 10th.

[gustave154]

Wow all the girls are really cute!!! I think i can't pick a favorite now because they are so freaking adorbz! Aww Sakura i'm so happy for her too!!

[resop2]

I mentioned earlier that I thought they were going to try to give S/Mileage a "cuteness upgrade" so that we shouldn't expect the the three cutest members from KSS to join MM.

I wonder if Akane and Maria were in anyone's top three KSS cuteness list?

[questorminator]

I hope 4 new girls means more lines for everyone and less Riho

It's more likely less lines for everybody else except Riho.

Well, Riho and Sakura. I doubt anyone else can belt Sakura's lines like she does.

[Parhelion69]

Woah, all the four girls are very cute! And I'm so happy for Makino, she was among my favorite KSS.
MM was already the best looking lineup ever, it's only cementing that ^^

Now I want some footage! (5-7 am japan time I guess we'll get that)
