This week is a very significant episode, where we get to see audition footage of the new members Tsutsui Roco and Tashiro Sumire, and the moment of when they find out they will be joining the new group, and then their ride to Zepp Tokyo. Plus, the new corner where Kenshuusei collaborate with their admired seniors continues.

- On the morning of the Kenshuusei Recital on December 12th, the judges held the final round of the Hello! Project 2021 audition. One of the included judges was Miyamoto Karin!
- From Saga prefecture, Tsutsui Roco (audition #177) enters. Her final audition song is ANGERME's "Aisare Route A or B?"
- Then the judges asks questions. Her hobbies are singing and basketball. Her favorite music is Hello! Project, and her favorite song is "moshimo...". Miyamoto Karin asks who her admired senior is. Roco says Dambara Ruru is her admired senior. She watched how the recent Kenshuusei Yoshida and Kawashima were struggling at first. She is asked about what she can bring to the new group if selected.
- Next from Kanagawa prefecture, Tashiro Sumire (audition #150) enters the studio. Her final audition song is ANGERME's "Hakkiri Shiyouze"
- Sumire's hobby is listening to music. She likes western music (yogaku) and Hello! Project songs, especially Morning Musume's Wagamama Ki no Mama Ai no Joke. Her admired seniors are Miyamoto Karin and Michishige Sayumi. She sometimes watches Hello Dream and says the Kenshuusei work hard to debut. She is also asked about what she can bring to the new group if selected.
- Later, they are both called back to the studio for the result. They were told that they will be joining the new Hello! Project group. They passed the audition! Congratulations! Roco is about to cry, but Sumire has a stoic shock reaction. Both of them express their feelings.

- Still in shock, they are told they will be unveiled on that day at the Kenshuusei Recital at Zepp Tokyo, in front of everyone and the members.
- During this time, the Kenshuusei were already rehearsing at Zepp Tokyo. Roco and Sumire take the van ride there immediately.
- Hello Dream promotes the release of Juice=Juice's new single, showing the performance of "Future Smile" at Yokohama Arena.

- Two days before the recital (12/10), Hello Pro Kenshuusei Unit members were informed by the manager that they will announce new members from the audition on December 12th at the day concert. They all scream in excitement. They really wanted to know how many, but not yet.
- Back on the van ride, Roco and Sumire are very quiet the whole way. Both of them are nervous.
- They arrive at the venue and enter from the back in secret. They wait backstage just into time before the song ends. They greet Makoto.
- When Miyamoto Karin appears on stage, they wait to be called up. Hello Dream has various cameras covering their walk on stage.
- After the live ends, OCHA NORMA members meet the two of them face to face.

- Makoto and Miyamoto Karin introduce the second ONE PLUS ONE dream collaboration : OCHA NORMA's Ishiguri Kanami and Ogata Risa. They perform "Watashi ga Iu Mae ni Dakishimenakya ne". The long version will be up tomorrow at noon.

Thank you again for joining us tonight, and please keep an eye out for the future growth of OCHA NORMA, Tsutsui Roco and Tashiro Sumire, as well as the growth of the group!
Next week, we'll have a closer look at the 10 members who will appear as the opening act of Morning Musume '21's Budokan concert held the day after the recital!
Who will be in the next collaboration?

Since KSS aren't included directly in auditions anymore, and they haven't introduced any new KSS, we're still sitting at 2 audition winners so far. (And I still think ANGERME was mostly added to attract applicants.)

Tsutsui Roko's and Tashiro Sumire's 4th round training camp video (singing and dancing test only)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7fqd3llPDY&t=685s


*if you notice in the video, there were 7 microphone stands. There were probably 7 candidates for each one in the training camp. There was no way they were going to share 1 microphone.

Mics to finalists makes sense. And with 7, I'm expecting at least 4 Kenshuusei "winners" out of this audition.
