12ki member "Mirai Shoujo" Audition - FINISHED.

[Rika-chan]

I don't understand the meaning of that help ...
Why Momoiro Clover ?

Tsunku: Yeah, well I wanna keep it under 20. I want them to pass the current members. So if they're weak in personality I'll just go with the number. And then maybe AKB's impact [on the idol world] will fade too. Momoiro Clover I think will be fine. So we'll fire things up with the number of members. And before you know it maybe Lovendor too will come in!

[Sohee]

^
^Thanks. That makes perfect sense lol.

Because Momoiro clover are really big and popular now. They won't be compared to them as they only have 5 members? I assume that's what he's talking about as they're talking about number or members.

[Rika-chan]

ok thank you ^^ make sense now.

[zam_ho]

The rest though...made me scratch my head. Mostly because this is the first time I heard him make any reference to diluting AKB's impact.

When Tsunku founded Akihabara Backstage Pass and formed Bakusotome, he had drawn the battle line. We can look at Bakusotome as Tsunku's regulars in his "army"and Morning Musume is his elite troops.

My guess is, after Tsunku have find it comfortable managing a big group like Bakusotome, he is confident in a bigger Morning Musume.

But personally, from the exchange with the members, I think he doens't sound like he would consider making Morning Musume big. He did mentioned that if he didn't find any suitable candidates he will not add any girls. I think that was what happened during the 11th gen audition and he only had Oda added.

Obligatory audition post:

I DIEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[eki134]

Sakura: Earlier, before the concert I told Suzuki-san how it seems likely that there will be an announcement like this...
Suzuki: Eh you did?
Sakura: I did!! I told you!!
Tsunku: What's with that carelessness?
Sakura: Yeah, but I thought that and said it to someone so when your song started playing I was thinking "Ah as expected..."

Tsunku (to Masaki): What kind of 12th gen member do you want?
Masaki: Eeeh... a normal girl.

Tsunku: Ikuta, what kind of girl do you want?
Erina: Eeeh let's see. I thought that I was a girl for the future- (audience: Eeeeeeh) No, no, really, I'm a future girl. But I want a girl who's able to win over me.

Haruka: I don't want a boyish girl. Leave that to me!

Tsunku (to Haruna): How many would you like?
Haruna: Two!

Reina: I want a yankee to join. Since I graduate the troublesome member will be gone-
Tsunku: There are lots of troublesome members!
Reina: Ah, but that's more a problem with intelligence... More like, a girl who has a strong sense of self and confidence and that way the other members will be more fired up too.
Tsunku: I see. Well when it comes to intelligence, Reina too....
Reina: Hang on...

Mizuki: We don' have any more colors so isn't it enough already...
Haruka: Seriously!
Tsunku: Ah but that too, if there's no good girls I might just not choose anyone, that's a possibility too. You know, we're not going to take the first thing that comes along. There must be a girl of good quality. Daaishi, what do you think?
Ayumi: Ah... mm... eeh... Right.... I'll believe in you and just wait.

Riho: I want a reliable girl to join! Cause like if another girl like Masakichan joins.... No, no, I like you Masakichan! But... but if a lot of girls like her joins...
Tsunku: That'd be bothersome, yeah.

Sayumi: These days if I say I'm the cutest, then it doesn't really become a joke. Since I am the cutest in the group. So I would want for a super cute girl who, when I say that I'm the cutest makes me look like a joke!


Question: What has made you feel the most accomplished with Morning Musume?
Reina: I feel a bit like I'm finally here, at this point. I always liked singing, but this tour has many moments when I really feel that singing is what's right for me. So... maybe this, right now.

Sayumi: I've been with Reina for ten years, but unfortunately it wasn't until now that I've become so close to her. Before this we weren't really good friends or anything.
Reina: Yeah we totally weren't.
Sayumi: We weren't fighting really, but we just didn't go well together. So now that we've finally become close she's graduating. I can't say I'm not feeling lonely, but the way Reina is with Lovendor is really cool so I will definitely cheer her on and we who are still here are gonna do our best too.
Sayumi: Reina's presence is big to the group. Especially with her singing. She's really good. So when she graduates someone will have to take her parts and, well I'm weak in that department so... or well, what do you think, can I?
Tsunku: Weeeeeeeeell... that might be a bit difficult.

Question: So the announcement of 12th generation members?
Tsunku: Yeah I surprised the members, or well I'd told 6th gen first, but the others were surprised. The fans too, or well they had a feeling of "Maybe?" but within that they cheered for it. I don't think I'll pick too many girls, but like... Like Michishige said, someone who's really good at singing or really good at dancing or maybe not but has a really strong personality is what I would want. What I really want is a girl you can't win over, a girl who stands out.
Question: How many girls do you want?
Tsunku: Yeah, well I wanna keep it under 20. I want them to pass the current members. So if they're weak in personality I'll just go with the number. And then maybe AKB's impact [on the idol world] will fade too. Momoiro Clover I think will be fine. So we'll fire things up with the number of members. And before you know it maybe Lovendor too will come in!

Next to Debut lol. Maybe in 12th gen Go Tanapyon !

[Starra]

I hope Rie doesn't get added. Never been a fan of her.

[sada*]

I expected Rie to make the S/mileage audition. So I'm still surprised that she hasn't debuted yet.

I'd rather not have Nanami in Morning Musume.

[Sohee]

Murotaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
Also would be cool with Nanami. But, that would mean at least 4-5 new girls and I only want 2 or 3 so just one KSS.
MUROTAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.
