Kukuku, only Ayabie guessed that Fukuchan would make it.
Definitely unexpected since she's pretty new compared to the other Eggs but I guess we'll have to trust Tsunku's 'idol-sense'.
Kinda feel bad for Akari though.
Shafted from S/mileage, then denied from MM. What's next? Not allowed to audition for Berryz/C-ute/S/mileage 2nd. gen? Perhaps they wanted someone from the Eggs that is 'raw' compared to Akari. But as long as she's in H!P, performs in Aa!, be Manoeri's background dancer, I'll be happy. (they still owe us an official Yume to Genjitsu PV, goddammit)
Glad to hear that Kikka's going to do some solo work. I never expected her to be put in MM ever, because if they did, it's like they're rectifying their mistake of not putting her there from the beginning. Yuu/You's got the talent and looks to back it up so a solo career is definitely good for her.
There were some pics of some Eggs w/ Tsunku and some idol wrestlers. Hope that's not where their career path is leading to.
...
Who am I kidding? Who wouldn't want to see Sengoku do a dropkick from the top rope? Sayaka spinebuster a punk ass bitch for the 3-count? That's entertainment, folks. And they can sing their own entrance songs to boot.
(j/k. I want to see them do more regular idol stuff, or be included in plays...)

This, aside from S/mileage, would have been my ideal Egg unit.
But I guess it's all a dream now.
In the aftermath of the 9th gen auditions, there are still some of the Eggs waiting in the wings for their chance to come. I doubt that they don't have any plans for these girls, since some of the latest ones they took in (starting from the FukuTakeKane batch) have potential. Some have already been in plays and appeared in Manoeri PV's. The Eggs-on-crack (Nanami+Haruka+Karin), as I have said in another thread, are definitely going to be lethal if put together in a unit. The Eggs veterans (Akari, Sekine, Irori, etc.) have what it takes to become idols. There's no friggin' way they're gonna put these talents to waste. I hope so.
So much Eggs, so many possibilities.
Anyway, congrats again to Fukuchan and the other girls for making it into Morning Musume. Work hard, do your best and have fun! \o/
PS: I like Riho :3 She gives me the same vibe as those anime characters that are always one level ahead the others, like Gary Oak and that character Risako portrays from the Ogamana anime. She's like the perfect Rival for Karin and/or Sayu.
