Morning Musume。'19 LOVE Audition - Three 15th Generation Members Revealed!

[JonCC]

They all look like great choices to add to the group. Hope we see that footage of Mizuki visiting their houses.
Mei's new hairstyle really suits her. And you can't go wrong with idols who love pandas.
I'm quite satisfied and relieved that the Hokkaido H!P Trainees have proven to be not some throwaway division of H!P.

Rio reminds me of Risa Ogata.

I’m hoping they hold off on any major graduations until after the olympics.

The one to worry about would be Ikuta. She seems like she's getting tired of the whole thing, even more than we've come to expect from her cool, standoffish character. I think she's still there simply to be with Fukumura (although she's also been suprisingly friendly with Maria). I also think that's one reason why Iikubo and then Ishida were named as sub-leaders, to have them already in position to avoid unnecessary disruptions.

Everyone else seems happy to go at least another year.

Ikuta said in an interview that she wants to stay till Olympics at least

So then after the olympics we should expect a possible announcement from Erina? :c

[Nayoko-Kihara]

Has the Japanese fan base done the deep dive into the two new girls yet? Any industry experience?

Homare has done some child modeling, appeared in at least one CM, and was in a stage play with Kanemitsu Ruru's older sister (and a ton of other people) last year.

[Sohee]

They're cute. Homare gives me Maria vibes for some reason, probably will do modelling eventually.
Mei is cuter than I remember her xD
Rio is nice though. She looks cool and seems like she has a powerful personality, I look forward to seeing her. So far (after two videos lol) she's my favorite out of the three. I love that she loves water.

[CaptainBerryzGiraffe]

LMAO that live feed was awesome!!!
...When they said "Kitagawa Rio" I was like "didn't she leave kenshuusei!?!?!" and I was so confused when a different face appeared, because I heard "Ryou" not "Rio" at first.

...I know this sounds terrible but I completely forgot Akane was still part of the group... ^^"

[Tobo_Junny135]

I read that Mei’s favourite colour is Light Blue
Does anyone else think Light Blue could fit her image?

Also Homare seems to fit Zukki’s Green colour image. And Rio either Brown, Maroon or maybe Akane’s Light Orange

[Nayoko-Kihara]

I definitely think they're more likely use the light orange or honey yellow again before they throw brown back into the mix.

[Jessi]

I'm pretty sure the consensus was that they were never going to use brown again.

Something about it being too problematic with the pen lights

Light Blue, Light Orange, Yellow, and Green seem most reasonable.
