Kudou Haruka
12, from Saitama
Haropuro Egg for 1 year, 6 months
Husky voice

Why she'd be a good pick:
It's Haruka! She's an amazing talker and has tons of theater experience as an Egg.
Plus she's utterly cute!

Why she might not be picked:
Being this young and experienced already, she might have overconfidence issues.
Might be too young, as shown by her crying her eyes out in next week's preview.
I'm still waiting for Tsunku to make a group out of her, Karin, and Nanami.




Iikubo Haruna
16, from Tokyo
[don't know what this part says]

Why she'd be a good pick:
Very distinctive looks.
She's got a deer-like look to her that is very striking.
Distinctive = memorable.

Why she might not be picked:
Too old. She's 16 already!
The last time someone her age was picked without special circumstances was in 1998.




Satou Masaki
12, from Hokkaido
Piano lessons since age 2
Mom is a huge fan of Morning Musume

Why she'd be a good pick:
Fresh looks.
Lots of musical experience, so she should have good pitch and rhythm.
Hokkaido!

Why she might not be picked:
Really having to stretch here, but her face might not be as memorable.
I think she has a good chance if her youth doesn't get the best of her in the camp.




Tashima Meru
11, from Fukuoka
No prior singing or dancing experience
[don't know what this part says]

Why she'd be a good pick:
Seems to have good energy and smile when singing.
Good raw material for polishing: she could benefit greatly from a H!P makeover.
Gives me kind of a Zukki vibe.

Why she might not be picked:
Doesn't look or sound that great.
Even with a Zukki vibe, she doesn't compare favorably.




Oogami Hinako
13, from Osaka
4 years jazz dance, 2 years karate
Self-declared H!P otaku

Why she'd be a good pick:
Distinctive looks, but see below.

Why she might not be picked:
Frankly, her looks kinda creep me out.




Miyagi Ayumi
11, from Osaka
6 years dance experience
Dreams of being a talent like Yaguchi Mari

Why she might not be picked:
Didn't make a big impression...

Why she'd be a good pick:
...Which is why Tsunku might pick her.
(I know, backwards isn't it?)




Miwa Satsuki
12, from Osaka
Tried out for 9th gen audition
Admires Takahashi Ai

Why she'd be a good pick:
Enthusiastic enough to try out multiple times.

Why she might not be picked:
Looks aren't that distinctive.




Ishida Ayumi
14, from Miyagi
2 years singing and dancing experience
High-powered performer

Why she'd be a good pick:
Has impact.
Has kind of an old-timey idol look.

Why she might not be picked:
Her smile looks like she's going to eat someone. O_O
Possible previous performance work might be a minus?




Tanaka Fuuka
12, from Miyagi
6 years singing and dancing experience
Dreams of being a talent like Yaguchi Mari

Why she'd be a good pick:
Eye-catching even from 2 seconds of footage from last week.
One of my top picks.

Why she might not be picked:
I can't really think of a valid reason.



Murakami Sara
13, from Miyagi
No prior singing or dancing experience but
good sense of rhythm from drums & taiko

Why she'd be a good pick:
Good rhythm is critical for performance.
Her voice sounds great already, which is only made more appealing by the fact that she's untrained.
She seems like she could add some bite to the lineup.

Why she might not be picked:
Can't think of a valid reason.


Overall, my favorites in order are Kudou Haruka, Tanaka Fuuka, Murakami Sara, and Satou Masaki.
Going through with my interpretation of Tsunku-logic, I'm thinking one or two picks, maybe 3 at the most.
Sadly, I think that would mean Haruka won't make it out of those 4.

Also, I wonder if the notes for Miyagi Ayumi and Tanaka Fuuka were mixed up?
They are near-identical, which is a little odd to me.
It's also a little odd how there's so many girls from Osaka and Miyagi in these finalists, especially considering that no previous members have ever come from those prefectures.

I think one from Osaka and one from Miyagi will join... however i vote for Murakami Sara, Satou Masaki and/or Ishida Ayumi as the ones that might join XD but tsunku is so such a troll that he can even say fuck 10th gen. and start a new group with them or start all over again lol... but honestly i think he will decide for 2 or 3 from this group.

"Frankly, her looks kinda creep me out."
Girl just needs to lose those greasebangs! She looks so pretty when the wind blows the hair off her face. The Kill Bill Chiaki Kuriyama look isn't good on an idol :lol:

"Possible previous performance work might be a minus?"
It wasn't for Riho or Meimi Tamura (tho you could claim it's because they had worked with H!P before... but still), so I think that "rule" is ancient history now.

Muurakami Sara!! :heart: Really interesting voice~

Ishida Ayumi reminded me a bit too much of Riho appearance wise, maybe that's just me... so I feel Tsunku won't pick her based on that- however if she had her hair shorter that would make them look more different, but it's a facial similarity that I'm seeing!
Other than them, I haven't found any other girls who particularly stand out to me! I will probably realise the potential of a couple more girls after rewatching clips and seeing next weeks segment!~ :D

I'm not quite sure what this is exactly but it has something to do with the idol group Dorothy Little Happy and both Ayumi Ishida and Fuuka Tanaka are in the video.






Can't say I'm too high on Fuuka's voice although it is quite amusing, especially her laugh. :lol:

Ok, I can't say I'm confident or anything about Fuuka's chances, especially with ten candidates and after hearing her voice... but what the hell, right.



 

This was a really basic bit of dancing so can't say much, but she's got the experience, so I'm eager to see more. And more of the singing, too, although less eager.  :nervous



   

And she's cute as heck! Maybe next week will be the last we'll see of her... I'll just enjoy it while it lasts. :P

If by some fluke reason Karin somehow doesn't become a MoMusu, I hope at least Haruka & Sara gets added

Finally got around to watching that ustream video and I think Ishida is starting to grow on me a little.
Fuuka still has her soundly beat on cuteness though.

noooo they will form a brand new unit with the 10... but what i can imagine is one of the girls failing the casting, the taining and every other chance but somehow tsunku decides to keep her despite how many times she failed...  the story repeating, i support that XD

Few people around the internet seem to give a crap about Fuuka, so I'm hoping she can sneak in unnoticed. But if not, I'll get over it. :P

--

Looks like this blog entry has lots of stalked out info about the contestants, if anyone wants to check if it has anything worth translating:

http://ameblo.jp/raisuhutuude/entry-11012473255.html

Anyhoo, I've been just posting Fuuka stuff, and she's not the only one with previous experience in modeling, dancing or camwhoring. So here's some more visuals.


--




Haruna Iikubo, who was a Loveberry model, not sure if that's an agency or a mag or something.

Her profile at Weblio gives us some info like the birthdate (1994.11.07) and Height (160cm) etc

http://www.weblio.jp/content/壇はう





Masaki Satou, modeling pics. So awkward. :lol:







Ayumi Ishida, more dance group pics.









Fuuka Tanaka, a dance group shot... also some blog pics, the ones I could recognize her in. Got a whole bunch I'm not too sure of, since they're tiny.





Both Ayumi and Fuuka in this one...





And some more with both of them with their dance group. Ayumi bottom left, Fuuka bottom right, in all 3 pics.

Sara Murakami, Finalist #10, here auditioning for something called the Bishoujo Museum.

Pretty girl, and seems popular among the western weeaboos, although among the wotas, apparently not so much.

Man, need more footage of everyone! Good thing the bootcamp's tomorrow, should get this thread buzzin'...

H!P time about to start. Get in the IRC for a pixely KeyholeTV watching party. :P

---

They're singing Aichan's solo song!

So little Fuuka, god dammit. Actually many of them got shafted, Sara and Haruka probably got the most screen time. Keyhole TV was being extra bitchy so waiting for a youtube up before further commentary. Tsunku did apparently say he might add all 10 of them hahaha.

I mean, Aichan is leaving so Tsunku just might get that crazy and desperate. :lol:
