Tsunku provides his comments after watching each Kenshuusei in the Spring Ability Test 2023 (behind a paywall)
Free Song Performance only :
1. Yoshida Hinoha / Massara Blue Jeans (C-ute)
Genki. Energy. I like the ribbon, even though it would look good with a festival happi or hachimaki.
2. Kawano Soara / Koko ni Iruzee! (Morning Musume.)
The individuality of her voice is an asset. The song selection is not suitable for practicing rhythm, but she has the potential to become good at it.
3. Kawashima Mifu / Kanashiki Heaven (C-ute)
Why is the song so plunging? I want them to feel the backbeat. If you persistently ask your seniors, they will tell you.
4. Shimoitani Yukiho / Adam to Eve no Dilemma (C-ute)
She looks stage-worthy. The bangs are still a concern. (I assume he meant her bangs were too long.)
5. Hayashi Niina / Beat no Wakusei (Morning Musume. '21)
Future expectations can be fully sensed. I want her to finish in one year.
6. Goto Hana / Be Alive (Morning Musume.)
I feel there is a sense of security. Now it's up to the adults who produce them. I want them to be able to talk.
7. Makino Toa / Renai Revolution 21 (Morning Musume.)
There is no need to talk about skills now.
If she makes a lot of noise now, that will energize Hello Pro.
8. Kamimura Rena / Ame no Naka no Kuchibue (Juice=Juice)
I like that she can sing a bouncy song with a rhythm that doesn't bounce all the way through. Classy
