The deadline for audition applications has past. The audition staff thanks everyone for the many applications. After they finish carefully reviewing the application, they will notify those who pass onto the next round.

That was a quick update. They are really pushing this now. In the past, they were really late updating after the deadline.

Maybe that means that they'll promote footage about it this time before they choose?

...just wishful thinking

So how about that Reinakathy girl

They finished sorting out and reviewing the applications. They will now notify those who qualified by post mail.

Obviously they had planned to announce a winner today at the Budokan concert. Didn't work out.

*sigh* They did it again.
And they really can't keep doing this.

Why should the general public care at all, why should girls even attempt to audition, if every other audition they say no one passes? They're seriously shooting themselves in the foot. I understand they're trying to find another ace quality, but sometimes they have to go out on a limb. girls like Uta didn't seem to show ace quality at first, but developed it quickly enough on stage.

Maybe they will get lucky the second time and find the next Mitsui Aika?

How are they shooting themselves in the foot?
It's not like the group will die now if they don't have new members.
