Rikako's official egg pic is up on their FC event page.



Can you say adorable? <3





Her nickname is just Rikako.

[Enmiz]

She looks a bit like Haruka to me in that picture. She's a cutie. ^.^

They could be sisters!

[roddyreta]

Rikako does seem like Haruka's twin. They look and sound similar, and both have VERY assertive personalities.



Kind of makes me wonder whether Tsunku has plans for another W-style duo.

Fuyuka's new profile:

I'm glad she's back! She wasn't my favorite S/mileage sub-member, but I was soooo sad for her when she had to leave. So now part of me wants a 3rd or 2nd 1/2 gen so she can go back to S/mileage.

[rob]

If you hear her sing you might regret that!

[Enmiz]

I know, I thought she had one of the worst voices of the whole auditions, but I'm hoping her Egg time has helped. I doubt it'll happen anyway, but it would be a bit poetic.

[Anderei]

I always thought she looked kind of out of place looks-wise, so I wouldn't be too sad if she never got back in. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hahaha.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hahaha:' /> She kind of looks like a young old lady.

I thought that too... There's a lot of people on other boards going on about how pretty she is, and while her hair is really nice looking, her face shape looks weird to me.

[Anderei]

Reaction to the 5/5 event setlist. Individual reactions.



Guess who cut her hair AGAIN. For some reason, she really likes it short.

[Solarblade]

The test happened, nothing totally came out of it....cept 6 new kenshuusei members!!!

[momoirosaya]

^I remember Rio... I hope she's not so flaily now with dancing.

So many Kana's in H!P now...more if you include C-ute old Kanna.

But I'm excited to see the new girls!



Footage of the event! (shows Murotan, Sakurako, and Nanami solos and group song)



The results of the Kenshuusei test event, are that Nanami won the fans votes and grand prize. Wada Sakurako won the judges special awards because she shined when sang Uchouten. Nanami will get a solo in the Nama Tamago show in June.

[pandapanda]

The first singers shirt says "Naked God Knows"



Second's voice bothers me. Don't know why.



Third was great, outfit was tacky IMO.



Juicys were amazing.



pandapanda has spoken. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hatthe.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whatthe:' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... eeping.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[momoirosaya]

Found a pic of the new girls, but it's too far away to tell anything...





I'm guessing that that's Manaka 3rd from the left with Fujii to her right. Girl on the screen does not look too cute (maybe it's just the picture?), but the tall girl does!

[Shoujo Q]

So many new K!Eggs! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... R#>/8o.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8o' />

Seems like we're getting ready for the departure of JuicyJ from the K!Eggs, someone to join Musume and or the start of another K!Egg group.





Here (I went straight to her part) is another video clip, found at JPlop about Inaba Manaka. It's old, but still gives you an idea on what she's like.



She looks a bit like a chubby Riho/Eri hybrid in that video. But in the picture above, more Riho.



Also from JPlop, order of the picture Saya posted. [L-R : Tanaka Karen, Inaba Manaka, Mikame Kana , Fujii Rio, Mashiro Kana, Inoue Hikaru]

[MiniLovely]

Whoa, she's good! And adorable! Calling it now, Manaka for MM 12th generation!! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... nceman.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':danceman:' />

[Shoujo Q]

Rikako's got some competition then. xD So many K!eggs, so little room in Morning Musume!

[Anderei]

Manaka and Karen are cute. I'm surprised it took Rio over a year to show up as a trainee.

[showraniy]

Manaka and Karen are absolutely adorable. I kind of love them already. I don't care who gets in MM, but just throwing out interest in seeing where those two end up.

[Anderei]

Tanabe Nanami - Campus Life ~Umarete Kite Yokatta~

Kishimoto Yumeno - Warrate! YOU

Kosuga Fuyuka - Suki na Senpai

Wada Sakurako - Uchouten LOVE

Taguchi Natsumi - Aitai Lonely Christmas

Hamaura Ayano - Arigatou! Otomodachi

Yoshihashi Kurumi - Sono Bamen de Bibiccha Ikenai Jan!!

[momoirosaya]

For the eggs all sound pretty good! The ones who auditioned for MM before definitely sound better now than they did when they auditioned. And we got to finally hear some of the eggs voices!



Sasaki Rikako - She did really good :D

Ogawa Rena - She did good, sounded very nice!

Yamagishi Riko - Pretty grating...

Ichioka Rena - Better than I thought!

Murota Mizuki - Chose a good song for herself and sang it well!

Kaga Kaede - Not that great imho, I was expecting a bit more from her...but did good still :)

Kaneko Rie - Poor Rie did not choose a good song a for herself.

Makino Maria - It was a bit rough, but there's room for improvement, she did good!

Tanabe Nanami - <3 Wonderful! I can see why she won!

Kishimoto Yumeno - I liked it a lot!

Kosuga Fuyuka - Still can't sing.

Nomura Minami - Couldn't handle the high note, but did good overall!

Wada Sakurako - I like it more when I'm watching her sing, cause she totally did have that aura going on!

Taguchi Natsumi - Surprised me in a good way! She did very good!

Hamaura Ayano - She chose a good song for herself and sounded so cute!

Yoshihashi Kurumi - Pretty good, but I feel like she can do better? Maybe it's the song...it's not meant for solos.



My favorites were Nanami, Tagucchi, Kishimon, Rikako, and maybe Rena. They all chose good songs for themselves and did a good job!
