12th Auditions Winners Announced! "Golden Audition"

[andrewmarlin]

So the winners will be announced on 9/30 so in Japan that means today! So for us American citizens, we should know by sometime before 9 tonight?

[Anderei]

No, because the concert is in the evening. It'll be early morning tomorrow.

OMG! So we're getting the results without any prior TV footage? I'm so excited but so nervous lol
 
From H!O :)

[mrsross]

I hope we get three girls this time. A 12 member Morning Musume would be nice without it seeming too crowded.

[Shoujo Q]

Between 5:30-7 AM Eastern Time the results will be handed down from 2Ch. I'd wait for official sources though because sometimes 2Ch likes the mess with the foreign fans.

Now you've got me curious--Who did they lie about before?   

[momoirosaya]

Sometimes they'll say that certain girls got it when they haven't, of course it's quickly cleared up. It'll be stuff like for example when 10th gen got in they'd post stuff like "Miyamoto and Mogi got in!!! Trololol" during the live-tweeting or live-forum posting? During the concert.

[Shoujo Q]

And we have our 12th Gen! Source

No Ruru and another Haruna? =/


Edit: Although I like that there's a bit of variety with the girl who can ice skate... Also Maria is from Aichi, so poor Kanon will have to split her color with her hometown arena, lol.

[ShiroiChanUK]

An English speaker who's pretty smart apparently :)

[JPope]

Holy shit, I was not expecting this many.

[pandapanda]

Four??  Are none of them eggs?

[aisasami]

I don't know much about the girls but Haga Akane is now my new favorite! Nagano represent!   
 
* Now, I might be able to go to a Morning Musume concert because Nagano and Shizuoka is really close. I wonder where in Nagano is Akane from?

It was even in the spoiler box....

[Derby]

Yay~ ... not Yay actually, I was about to say that I was happy because they are 4 and they would be a 12-member group,
but I suck at maths apparently, I hate 13...
 
I'm kind of upset because Kaede didn't make it,
but I'm happy for Maria, she was on my top4 eggs but just because she's so pretty and has something that somehow atract people
 
There are no pics of the 2 unknown girls yet?
With this many girls we will go back to the time where 1/3 of the group had almost the same blue color...

[Banana]

Akane and Maria? They're totally trying to keep Sayumi's fans from taking off once she leaves. Sayumi LOVES Maria and Akane has been compared to Sayumi several times. 
 
But... Akane and Maria? Seriously? One bad singer leaves; two more take her place. It's like Hydra. But I like both of them, so... eh. It could be worse. 

[pandapanda]

Spoiler: [+]

She wants to be an idol like Michishige Sayumi.

Her dream is to be able to join Morning Musume.

Tsunku said that she looks clever, and said that if she joins Morning Musume, she could be at the front in no time.

Michishige Sayumi has said that Maria is her favorite Hello Pro Kenshuusei member.

 
 I love Maria already.

[al kusanagi]

No pictures? No Nanami or Ayano? Failing to care here.

[Derby]

I don't really care if there are no good singers (don't forget we know nothing about the 2 new girls)
because they should be reeeeaaaally good to be a main vocalist with Riho and Sakura
but if she was at Mizuki's level, because of popularity and seniority, Mizuki and Sato would still be leads and that good singer would have to wait and wait and wait and wait, Kudo is still waiting...

[NekoKaiSai]

Here's a picture.  From left: Ogata Haruna, Nonaka Miki, Haga Akane, and Makino Maria.

That was my first thought.

[Kalle]

OH NO THEY'RE CUTIEPIES ; w ;

[Noa]

They're all adorable and I don't immediately dislike any of them so I'm excited enough

[momoirosaya]

Disappointed no KSS I really like got in :( Oh well theres always S/mileage. I do like Maria though. Akane will grow on me soon enough, although she is one of my least favorites in KSS *sigh*
 
I can't wait to see footage of the girls though! Now we've got 3 Haru's! Luckily Ogata has different kanji for her name. Miki looks really cute!
 
Edit: Profile pics are up! Miki and Maria are my favorites so far.

[smtmissin]

9th and 10th gens were real beauties. Sakura has an adorable smile. I am a bit disappointed with this gen, they don't catch my eyes. I hope they have good voices or some personalities.

[Noa]

I think they're all just in that really awk pre idol phase. Sakura was really odd looking at first and it took Ayumi like a year to stop looking like she was going to go on a murdering spree so I have hope that by their first or second single they'll be a lot cuter.

[momoirosaya]

We also haven't seen any footage of their auditions so I feel like there's less of an attachment? if that makes sense. We don't get to be like "Oh I'm so glad *blank* got in because she did great in the training camp." Or, "no why her? she was awful" type of thing.

[Noa]

Do we have any idea if we'll be getting footage?

[MejraThea]

Not happy, not unhappy. But if I had to swing one way or another it'd be unhappy. Not because of the girls themselves, I don't dislike any of them. Although I don't like some of their faces. No, simply because we have two contradicting statements. First, that Tsunku never wanted it to get as big as it did again. Second, that he would go up as far as 20. This makes me wary because if he does start adding girl in every year (to avoid another EriJunLin fiasco) he'll be graduating them every year, too. I know how Morning Musume works, I don't need anyone to tell me that. After Reina, Sayu, and Gaki/Aika have graduated I am used to it, but the ones in now are only passing 3 or so years, and so it's too soon to graduate them. Or he may do the EJL thing again and only add them in when it drops below optimal numbers. Who knows.

It took me no time to like Ayumi at all. Same for Sakura, when I saw her footage I just thought she was adorable and her smile made others feel so comfortable. I actually prefer how she looked like when she first joined. 9th and 10th gen left me some good impressions ever since they first joined, for example: Haruna: fashionable. Ayumi: fierce, like a fire. Masaki: cheerful. Haruka: boyish. Riho: cute pie, Mizuki: elegant. Kanon: upbeat. Erina:  good eyes.  Maybe I'll like this gen after seeing some footages of them. They need some distinctive aura.
