if this is our Ishida Ayumi (which it certainly looks like, and i haven't heard of any other Ayumi related to DLH) then her birthday is probably on or around January 7th. :3

(this may have been posted before, sorry, i've been gone for a couple months.)

Aha there 4 new members, they already told me at the S/mileage event that Haruka had joined. But they talked about 3 members, it probably was Haruka + 3 members. And now I know I can answer Haruka when people ask me tomorrow at the concert who my favorite member is. Although I probably still answer Wada Ayaka since I will be wearing my S/mileage t-shirt.

I'm sad about the lack of Sara (she was my clear fav) but I got 3 of my 4 picks, 2 who I really like, so there.

I'm really bitter about Sara though, she was beyond awesome.

Oh well.

Haruka and Ayumi made it, it's all that counts. If he had picked 4 girls I didn't like I would be mega pissed. So I'm happy.

Masaki will be dead weight. I can feel it. *sigh*. oh well. maybe I'll end up liking her.

Well I am very pleased. I got my egg baby haruka, and my princess ayumi. Sara, I could see what tsunku didn't find in her, even though I really liked her. I am not surprised about masaki because she really did improve monumentaly so...she may improve even more. Haruna I am a litttle surprised. The way she sings is strange.

[Pavlova]

I think it's because she fills in the age gap very nicely. That's the reason I wanted her in.

^ i agree, but i totally didn't expect her to be added (they always err younger) so i was kinda ignoring her so i wouldn't get too attached.

From Tsunku's Blog Post:

Ikubo Haruna- Has a surprising "pure" personality. And her looks (face) are gorgeous. I believe she has the determination to bring her singing to a suitable level. That is why she passed.

Ishida Ayumi- Her singing and dancing were outstanding. Also, her personality is as firm as a stone (a play on the "ishi" in her last name). I believe the history of Morning Musume can be passed on to her from here on out. That is why she passed. (Sounds like he has really high expectations of Ayumi! Based on this, I expect her to pick up some of Ai-chan's old lines)

Sato Masaki- The level of her dancing and singing is below the other three now, but she has a potential (literally raw ore) that she has yet to realize herself. Also, her skill level rose considerably during the audition. That is why she passed.

Kudo Haruka- She has experience as an egg, and she really loves singing. Also, the "gap" between her face and her husky voice is interesting (basically, she looks tiny and cute, but she has a deep voice, and that's unusual). I hope that she can help to bring together the 10th generation members and the current members as soon as possible. (I guess because she's in 10th gen, and she's worked with current MM in the stage play) That is why she passed.

Ah! He didn't go for all the babies this time!! I have to echo the disappointment over Sara, BUT Ayumi and Haruna getting in make up for it. I actually am happy Haruka got in. She and Riho (who is also growing on me) will most diffidently be the future face of Morning Musume. I hope a epic rivalry develops between the girls that will push MM to the top. The other girl meh whatever. Yay my love (and more importance Interest!) for MM has grown today, Tsunku job well done sir.

[PikoAshy]

I wonder if ayumi would get sued if her nickname ended up being ayupan harharhar

[Echidna]

yay, Ayumi got in! happy for her!
dislike other three, but since Masaki improved after training camp, I have hope for her.
Haruna is like bootleg copy of Sayu, don't like her.
and that egg has messy eyes, she's not even cute. and I don't like husky voice.

top row: good great eeww great so-so great
2nd row: great eeww good so-so EW good

I don't like almost half of groop, oh, Tsunku! if you can't pick talented girls, then pick pretty. Koha was far from talented but she pretty.
hope girls improve a lot.

What is "husky" about Haruka's voice? I don't hear it.
