Anyone remember Masuda Ayami?
In case you don't remember or weren't into Morning Musume then, she auditioned for 8th gen, made it all the way to the training camp, and then mysteriously dropped out before the final performances.
Happy 8ki Audition clip to refresh your memory
She had also auditioned for avex around that time, and apparently it went well. Since her withdrawal from the 8th gen audition, she signed with avex, and presumably has been training with them.
She will be releasing her debut single, "Revise the world," later this month under the name "ayami" through Dive II Entertainment (avex's anime/game related label). It's the ending theme for the anime "Total Eclipse." (Here's a promotional video for the song.)
Apparently, she's also done work in the past for some other anime. She's released songs as part of a unit, RAMM feat. ayami, and did voice work for a small character in the series Muv Luv.

Official blog: http://ameblo.jp/ayami0709
Other media:
RAMM feat. ayami - Relayers
RAMM feat. ayami - Freedom
ayami - Apocalypse of Destiny
Video of her performing "Freedom" at last year's Animax Musix
Video of her performing Kawada Mami's "Joint" with faylan and Sasaki Sayaka.
She's definitely improved since we saw her audition back in 2006. I was disappointed when she dropped out, but it seems like the songs she's performing now are a better fit for her than being in Morning Musume might have been.

Re: ayami
Bloody hell, she's grown up hasn't she. Tsunku probably realised she was too talented for MM <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />.
Re: ayami
Oh yeah I remember her! Everyone suspected some kind of scandal? Oh man, if only she hadn't dropped out...history as we know it could have been different. She's very pretty!
/edit Yeah, just rewatched that audition footage, and she was great! Pretty much nailed "furusato" and was cute and energetic. Ugh, tsunku, what is wrong with you sometimes.

I doubt that, since she's the one that dropped out, not kicked out.

Re: ayami
I remember the black-background audition footage.
Seems like she's good at singing and she's really beautiful.

So she's just been in Avex's back pocket for six years? That's an awful lot of training.

Yeah, but it looks like it's totally paid off! She was pretty good in that Momusu audition clip, but AMAZING in her debut song!

I don't want to get into a philological argument but Ahem 2, even that bastion of left wing Liberalism (and paedophiles) the BBC says that "ise" is the preferred English usage.
There are so many words Americans spell incorrectly.
Hood should be spelt bonnet
Trunk should be spelt boot
Sidewalk should be spelt path
Fanny should be spelt lady's front bottom

Not in the UK, fanny is slang for vagina and so is front bottom <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.

Spelt should be spelled 'spelled.'

Not if you are from the UK, spelt or spelled are both equally acceptable. I had a classical education and was taught "spelt" <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />.

All I can think of is Stella Artois beer which is the favoured brew of the lower working class male who drinks 15 pints on a Friday night and then returns home to his wife for a bit of domestic violence, hence Stella is known as wifebeater.

Slight update, there's another promotional video up for "Revise the world," though it's still only half the song: http://youtu.be/5TFs-5Wh8hM
Also, her website got a slight update. There's actually pages now! (Instead of it just being one massive page.)
