Welcome Oda Sakura to Morning Musume!

[aine]

The middle girl in the middle screenshot. Whatever her name was. I noticed her in the audition clip, unless I'm going crazy.



Actually all three would be fine, because they were just adorable in the drama.



But only under condition that Sayu and Reina hang around until they mature a while, because I still prefer my MM to average at least 16 years.

[Shoujo Q]

Sayuki (I would love her in MM, please!) is the middle girl, Nanami is the other. The third girl is Kurumi who is semi in the shot.



Sayuki is already 15, so you wouldn't have long to wait.

[momoirosaya]

Well, most of the new girls that showed up in the 10th gen preview didn't make it to the final round, so we'll just have to wait and see.



So far I'm rooting for Aina, Kurumi, and Nanami.

[Shoujo Q]

I think they just showed most of the UFA girls because they can get away with it without a consent since they are already part of UFA. So it's easier to tease with them, then showing a bunch of no-name girls and having people going crazy digging up info on unknown girls that will probably never be seen again and getting our hopes up for nothing.

[Haru]

I want Sayuki so bad but I fear her wonky face won't permit her.

[Anderei]

Didn't keep Kei or Konno out.

Mogi, she's suffering a horrible case of the Puberties. I have a feeling she's going to be super tall like Yurina. She also has a little halfie quality to her which makes me wonder if there isn't a bit of a mix in here somewhere in her lineage.

[/quote]



Halfies are usually hot, she is butt-ugly, can't sing and is all-around weird.

[Anderei]

She'll probably be pretty when she's older and has a better idea of how to style herself. She's got some really good features.

[roddyreta]

Highly impressed with Oda Sakura's singing, but I'm not sure she meets the looks/cuteness requirement.



Also impressed by Haruka Ono's singing, but she's older and seems to have a thicker figure, which probably makes her less attractive to the wotas. Seems to have a lot of personality though.



In my opinion, Mogi is pretty now, but her voice is still relatively weak. I doubt she'll get promoted ahead of eggs with more seniority anyway.



I thought Tanabe Nanami was the best overall (young, undeniably cute, sang on key).

[Banana]

When did Nanami sing?

Not necessarily true. Mano being one key example. Ongaku Gatas formed, and she was one of the newest faces to the eggs. She got pushed way more in the group than any of the other eggs at the time. Then after the group essentially disbanded, she became a soloist. Two others are Karin and Akari in Shin. Minimoni. I'm sure there's more, but I can't remember when eggs joined and others left.

[Shoujo Q]

Haruka was relatively new in terms of eggs and she got promoted over quite a few of her seniors. But at that time, most of the older eggs had gone onto Up Up Girls and she had very few seniors left.

[Anderei]

Mizuki is a better example. She was an unknown egg and a lot of the 04-06 eggs were still around during that audition.

She was in Shugo Chara Eggs, that doesn't make her very unknown.

[Anderei]

That version of the group only did b-sides and never performed at any non-FCC events. Most people still didn't really know who she was.

They were part of the Shugo Chara! Party! series and acted as the hosts. I know it was super unpopular because it basically trashed everything that was good about Shugo Chara, but they were on television.

[Shoujo Q]

Are you ready? The 14th and 15th will be an overload of Morning Musume Audition footage from Satoyama on the 14th and the new Girlpop Show on the 15th.



Considering this is going to be training camp footage, the girls must have already been chosen?



First MM concert is on the 15th.

[Mukuro]

Yes!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' /> That just is going to make my week so much better!

[rob]

I'm REALLY nervous about this audition, the possibility of Karin joining MM and MM become a 1000% more awesome is too much, if she doesn't make it I'll still be a fan but I'll always regret what could have been...



Kinda like Mike Tyson never meeting Don King....

[masa]

The participants in the training camp round are ...



Kishimoto Yumeno （岸本ゆめの）, Makino Maria （牧野真莉愛）, Ichioka Reina （一岡怜奈）,

Ono Haruka （小野はるか）, Oda Sakura （小田さくら） and Hamaura Ayano （浜浦彩乃）.

Spoiler: [+]

I'll just go cry myself to sleep then....

[Melon]

Mizuki didn't participate in the training camp round, did she?

[Nicky]

Ayano made it to the training camp? Nice! I was hoping she'd make it, as well as Oda Sakura and Ono Haruka. For some reasion Makino Maria reminds me a bit of Eri.

[tsukinobyouin]

Ages:

Kishimoto Yumeno - 12

Makino Maria - 12

Ichioka Reina - 14

Ono Haruka - 16

Oda Sakura - 13

Hamaura Ayano - 12



Reina and Haruka aren't allowed to get in because it would be too confusing. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' /> Unless old Reina is graduating soon or either new Haruka is really super awesome and I forgive her like I did the two Ais.



I thought at first that none of them were eggs, but that shows how little I know about the current eggs. For anyone else out of the loop like me, Oda Sakura failed the S/mileage audition and was added as an Egg after that. Hamaura Ayano is also an egg. She participated in the 10th gen auditions and didn't pass.



I'm excited to watch footage. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /weeeh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':weeeh:' />

[Nicky]

I believe Ono Haruka is from Nice Girl Project.

[Anderei]

Can Ayano please join? She's so cute I can forgive any shortcomings.

AND THE FLAME OF HOPE IS LIT AGAIN!



I totally forgot about that!



come on tsunku DOOO ITTTT!!!

[Purin-chama]

The 2nd row middle girl looks like Ayaka in that screenshot

[Banana]

During that preview a couple weeks ago, they showed pretty much all of these girls singing (except for Ayano), and I wasn't impressed with anybody but Sakura. Ayano is cute, but I think I've heard her sing during one of the egg concerts, and her voice is like super, super cutesy and high-pitched, so I don't know. Not really happy so far.

[Anderei]

Yumeno is a 2000-er. Feel old. But her birthday is April Fool's Day!
