10th gen audition (WINNERS: Haruna, Haruka, Masaki, Ayumi!)

[Sohee]

Yeah so Haruna is probably my favorite from 10th gen.

[SweetBene]

some Masaki trivia found out in the Haropro Time episode

Masaki is left handed like Fuku-chan
Masaki seems to have 2 younger siblings
Masaki doesnt live on a Hokkaido farm

LOL

Haruka is definitely my favorite. Good voice, self-confidence, sociable and adorable face
Masaki is really cute and sweet. She'll be spoiled She + Haruka can make a nice pair.
Haruna is sweet too, I like her more and more.
Ayumi is better with hair down.

[danzarely]

In the words of Utaban back when 4th gen was graduating: These new members leave a bland taste in my mouth.

Haruka seems like she could be interesting, the others just come off as typical idol fodder. As for 9th gen, Zuki is the only one pulling her idol weight. When Risa graduates I really doubt I'll have any interest left in MM.

VIVA BERRYZ!

i'm confused. why was this posted on H!O and not here first

Sohee at JPLOP did translations of the 10th generation member's reactions to getting in, and of Tsunku's comments on them from the latest "HELLOPRO! TIME" episode.

Ishida Ayumi
Tsunku: You're in!!!
Ayumi: I'm really surprised... -- There will be a lot of tough and difficult things, but I think I will learn a lot more than I ever have before, so I really want to do my best.
Tsunku about Ayumi:
Ishida's dancing and singing stands out even within Morning Musume, her standard is high. She's got a lot of 'war potential', so it's very likely she'll fight with her rivals.

Kudo Haruka
Tsunku: You're in!!!
Haruka: I... don't really... get it. I can't realize it yet. But... I'll do my best to be able to catch up with everyone.
Tsunku about Haruka:
Rather than having a complex about her huskey voice, Kudou is rather confident and shows off her speciality. Of course there is a standard over how Hello! Project is and all, but having one like that will be a great touch to the overall picture.

Iikubo Haruna
Tsunku: You're in!!! In a good way, I want you to work hard as a part of Morning Musume and make it even more cool, cute and fashionable.
Haruna: I'm really happy. My whole life was at stake today. I'm happy that I can write "Morning Musume" on my career/university aspiration report in school now.
Tsunku about Haruna:
She's a high school student but even so really pure. And even though she's from Tokyo, she's not very gyaru-like. Her dance might not be good enough as it is right now, but her singing was really good. That's of big value.

Sato Masaki
Tsunku about Masaki:
Satou is a lot more interesting than she thinks herself. She'll be really fun to follow as she grows. She's the most photogenic from both the 9th and 10th generations... I have a feeling she's going to be outstanding.

[Sohee]

Because I told her over msn.

[Sohee]

What?

[boinsie]

He wonders why you didn't post it here.

Not that anyone owes anyone anything.

[Sohee]

Because I was lazy. And I only did it over msn and told her it was okay to re-post it.

Note to Nayoko: Post things here first or we'll get bent out of shape about it.
