MORNING MUSUME. 25th ANNIVERSARY AUDITION ~Asu wo Tsukuru no wa Kimi~ : Winners Announced!

^^ Where are those nicknames coming from? Harucchi fits well, but I was imagining Ako would just be like Akko.

That is what I am going to call her (Akko), unless they come up with another acceptable cute nickname (Geta-geta is not, lol).

[Amped]

Geta-geta sounds like a nickname if she joined ANGERME. But It just sounds like a name that her friends use to tease her with. I hope they a pick a more respectful nickname.

Inoue Haruka's special skill is calligraphy, 7th dan (rank). She can also sing a Finnish folk song (as she demonstrated in the Hello Station special). Probably influenced by Former Nogizaka46 member Ikuta Erika, who can sing a Finnish folk song.
Yumigeta Aki's special skill is ballet.

Back in March 2020, Yumigeta Ako was part of the cast of musical kids in local Shizuoka street musicals. She is a former member of the Kaizokufune Theater Company (Gekidan Kaizokufune).

She appeared in many, here is one called "Kono Michi de Ai"


Since 2015, the Kaizokufune Theater Company has been producing stage productions mainly with actors from elementary, junior high, and high schools in Shizuoka City. This year again, a short musical "Kono Michi de Ai" was scheduled to be performed on the streets in March, but was cancelled just before the show due to the Corona. A second performance was planned for July, but this too was ultimately cancelled due to the "no-attendance" situation.
However, a digest of the "no-attendance performance" in conjunction with the theme of the musical, in the hope that the actors' efforts to "move forward with hope in spite of the difficult situation" may be a "ray of hope" in today's world, if only a little.
A woman who is not feeling well. But there were many shining moments in her memory. Those thoughts inspire me now. And I will be able to walk forward again..."

Cast: Koyanagi Akiyori, Soma Chisato, Takahashi Riko, Tamaki Emi, Tozaki Hana, Nanbu Yona, Noda Sousuke, Noda Moeka, Fukazawa Mao, Mamiya Mitsuri, Yasuda Kokoro, Yumigeta Ako, Katsumi En

I wonder if the scouts do research through social media for vetting. It seems almost every girl has something of experience before HP. Honestly the first recent girl I can think of that came fresh with nothing is Maachan.

A local Shizuoka site that covers festivals in the prefecture, has recognized new member Yumigeta Ako as a Morning Musume. '23 member and shared a few photos of her participating and dancing in the Shizuoka Festival when she was younger. They will support Ako's future activities.
