XD XD XD I'm trying to ignore the creepiness of those two "requirements".
6. I don’t have self-confidence now but the day when I shine will surely come!
7. I don’t have self-confidence but everyone around me gives me suggestions so I do my best!
Paring the lineup down to 5 signals to me that Tsunku isn't looking to push on in the same direction. If anything, it's a way to rebuild the group as something fresh.
The 10-17 requirement also says to me that Tsunku wants to go younger/fresher/brighter.
Just look at how that stands up to the previous auditions' age requirements:
3rd Gen: 7th grade+ (12/13+)
4th Gen: 7th grade+
5th Gen: 7th grade+
6th Gen: 7th-12th grade (12-18)
7th Gen (the one with no winners): 9th grade - 20 years old
7th Gen (Koharu): 7th grade - 22 years old
8th Gen: 7th grade - 21 years old
Going to a limit of 10-17 is, in my mind, a great departure from the previous auditions, especially the last few.
The upper limit of the last three auditions says to me that Tsunku was trying for a more mature look/sound for the group, which we've gotten.
Having the age limits set at 10-17 this time is a huge clue as to what direction he wants to go with the group.
Even if they don't end up getting someone from the lower end of the range, they're still targeting a younger range of applicants than before.
one or more members will be like Takahashi AiTHIS!!! :heart:
(requirements)
1. I’m very energetic and cheerful!
2. I love singing and want to become better at singing!
3. I admire the world of entertainment business!
4. I want to become cuter!
5. I want my talent to be discovered/found!
6. I don’t have self-confidence now but the day when I shine will surely come!
7. I don’t have self-confidence but everyone around me gives me suggestions so I do my best!
8. I have the confidence that I will be #1 in the entertainment world!
10. I love Morning Musume (Hello! Project)!
If Eggs can audition, I hope they get some advantage instead of having to go through all stages of selection, especially those who have been training for 6 years now.In a way I wouldn't mind them being featured in as many stages as possible, just because it would mean more footage about them LOL. Like imagine if they didn't get to do the training camp D: I wanna see them, idk, pwning the crap out of the other ones (ROFL) or the singing teacher could give them a lecture "you may have been an Egg already for x time, but in Morning Musume things are different" blah blah, I think it'd be good drama/storytelling xD But I guess that's the reality tv fan side of me speaking, haha
this is just something that i thought of, but anybody think there's a possibility that a new c-ute member might come from this audition? XD
The Lucky 7 audition was hilarious because not only did Tsunku find nobody for Momusu, but none of the girls were chosen for Eggs either XD It was like "omg all of you are fucking useless, goodbye!" hahahaha, yeah.
Well, let's go over the legendary Tsunku audition surprises:But it was a good one! Maki :cow:
...
3rd Gen: Picked one new member intead of two.
...
:banghead: Gah- How could I forget Koharu was 7th gen?! XD I kept forgetting things yesterday- I think I thought she was 8th gen- even though I know AiriJunLin are 8th gen D:
(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/t/jphip13008.jpg) (http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip13008.jpg)She looks soooooo much like Linlin and Miyata Toshiya :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: awesome. :D

1. | 川*’ゥ’) | false kamei (Erina... does she really look like Eri? lol) |
2. | 从*・◇:・) | mole |
3. | ル'ヮ'リ | sayashi (riho, naturally... she was known from the start) |
4. | カ・,_、・カ | crying girl |
5. | 川¬..¬) | ookubo (there's some japanese woman called ookubo and they say she looks like her...) |
Dunno. Tsunku will reveal it January 2nd in a Hello! Project concert.raise your hand if you saw this coming... ... ...
4. Put her in another existing groupI would put her in C-ute.
My guess is that he's adding these young girls cause he's gonna change Morning Musume's image again. Then he's gonna start graduating out the older members like Ai and Risa which is really sad (even though truthfully they've been in MM for forever but let's just not point that out.)Yeah- this is what I've felt all along- he needs to get rid of the older current members eventually (well, he doesn't NEED too but they'll be getting older and MM used to have a good range of ages)...

Even if they don't end up getting someone from the lower end of the range, they're still targeting a younger range of applicants than before.
I stand by my desire to have an appropriately aged egg fill the age gap, but today I have a hunch that Tsunku might actually want that gap there to create contrast.
^ Yeah sometimes it's easy to forget the ages of these girls. >o< When I was 11 my teacher at school was still constantly giving me these bitchy comments because I used to walk with my toes pointing inward... And I had this "Y SO SERIOUS?!" mentality LOL. ANYWAY kids at that age are awkward and have no idea about worklife, bless their innocent souls.
I think none of the finalists fits into MM because of their age. If new members have to be added, they should be at least 18 in 2011.
How does what work??
If you mean the walk, kinda like this
(http://picroda.jphip.com/japanese/t/jphip07930.jpg) (http://picroda.jphip.com/japanese/jphip07930.jpg)
Considered cutesy in Japan I guess, but here very unattractive
I've been having a hell of a time convincing people that 11-13 year olds is not the way to go with MM. But since Tsunku seems dead set on having a bunch of youngins I'll say it again, it better be Riho who is guaranteed a spot. Everyone else will have to do more to convince me to care. It's not that I don't think any of these finalists suck beyond Riho but she was the only one who showed actual potential from what I saw.
My bet is that he names himself the winner of the 9th gen. :lol:
But you do realize past auditions have always aimed young, right? Just look at how old the current members were when they joined. Even the first formation of the group featured a 12-year-old and a huge age gap similar to what we're seeing now: Yuko was 24, Aichan is currently 24; Nacchi/Iida were 16, Aika is currently 17 going on 18. I agree that older would've been better, but UFA has been doing this since the beginning and this really shouldn't be all too surprising. Think of it more as long-term planning by the management, picking girls who can stick around for a while.
I think I might have to watch the audition episode again, but so far my preferred picks are Riho and Kanon; Riho because she's just an all-around performer with experience (the group can always use that kind of help), and Kanon because of my earlier "She is Hello Project" analysis...plus she might do well on the "personality" front, and her voice can become better with time and work. You gotta keep in mind that Morning Musume stopped being a traditional singing group and went full-fledged idol mode way back in 2000 (when they shunned Mikitty and made Rika their top pick), so there needs to be more than just singing with these girls.
My bet is that he names himself the winner of the 9th gen. :lol:
I'm pretty sure he did that already with the first 7th gen audition. :P
Riho's gonna own every single current H!P girl in dancing, probably without breaking a sweat. This stuff is fierce as hell, and she seemed to learn everything really fast.
I got really excited because I thought the announcement was today, damn. Try again tomorrow :sweatdrop:The day after isn't it? Counter says 2 days to go :3

モーニング娘。
9期新メンバー大決定スペシャル!
I didn't even know there was a 9th audition going on till i accidentally saw this thread LOL...
Riho, like Stryfe said has a HUUUUUGE potential in all areas. She's like the Sidney Crosby of NHL or John Wall from the NBA. Can't imagine her when she's in her prime. Tsunku shouldn't fuck it up like the last audition and sign her ASAP.
Audition 9 got 3 member
つんく登場→9期発表 さやし すずき いくた
モー娘。9期新メンバー3人を発表
アイドルグループ・モーニング娘。の9期新メンバー3人が2日、東京・中野サンプラザで行われた、ハロー!プロジェクトのメンバーによる恒例の新春コンサート内で発表された。新メンバーとなったのは、昨年8月からのオーディションで約9千人の中から選ばれた鈴木香音、生田衣梨奈、鞘師(さやし)里保の3人に、ハロプロの研修生・譜久村聖を加えた4人。リーダーの高橋愛は「一回り違いますよ!!若っ!!」と苦笑い。新メンバーを加えて、モー娘。は計9人となった。
24 友 娘(9期含め)
Hello! Total appearances by members of the project "Hello! Project 2011 WINTER ~ Welcome ~ Fresh Festival" on March 2, was held in Sanpuraza Nakano, Morning. Period of nine members was announced. Member since season eight, 10 months new subscription for about three years. Rina clothing Ikuta (Erina = 13), teacher sheath (Sayashi) Sato Yasushi (12) Sound Suzuki Kaori (I Kano = 12) and will be presented to 2,000 fans, ♂ Tsunku producer (42) is "one after decided to join the members want, "he said with surprise. Kumura Satoshi Haropuroeggu staves (Mizuki uneven wipe = 14) was appointed a sudden. Scores Kumura members decided hastily, "I did not want to put, happy," revealed in a tearful voice with joy. 9 day tour in Tokyo.
My favorites out of the finalists is pretty set after this special.
1. Kanon
2. Riho
3. Erina
4. Aina
5. Minami
...
What I'd like to see the most though is Kanon and Riho to Morning Musume w/ some egg additions.
As it is, if any of them are picked, it's quite a large age gap between them (11-13) and the next youngest, Mittsy (17).
Who fits the 14-16 age range and does a good job in the Eggs?
SAHO AKARI.
I'm sure Shirenu would LOVE this to happen.
(I'd also like Fukumura Mizuki, but that's just me.)

Either Tsunku's getting more predictable, I'm starting to think more like Tsunku, or I'M A FRIGGIN GENIUS.
(Just for the record, I also thought he'd pick between 2-3 of the finalists.)

Introductions!

Yesterday I introduced Morning Musume 9th Generation member, Fuku-chan\(^ー^)/
Today I'm gonna introduce the other three(≧∇≦)
The first photo is Sayashi Riho-chan a.k.a. Yasshii☆
She's a 6th grader(◎o◎)
Yasshii's super cuute♪
It's like my eyes are automatically drawn to her.
When she bows and stuff, she does so with a deeper seriousness than others
and though she has a small and slender body, you get the feeling that inside is a mature and reliable person.....
I admire her(*^o^*)
She's also really good at dancing!
Her hair is silky too♪♪♪♪
Since she's from Hiroshima prefecture, which is right next to my own Yamaguchi prefecture, I wonder if I should try talking to her in my home dialect♪~θ(^0^ )
Next up, the second photo is Ikuta Erina-chan a.k.a. Eripon☆She's a 1st year middle-schooler♪
Eripon's really assertive! In fact she's the one who to came to talk to me first o(^-^)o
Around when I'd just joined I definitely wouldn't have been able to do that.
I think that's pretty amazing!
Eripon seems pretty plucky, so I look forward to seeing the various things we talk about(^o^)/
And finally, the 3rd photo is Suzuki Kanon-chan a.k.a. Zukki☆
She's a 6th grader like Yasshii(◎o◎)
"6th graders," huh、、、(-.-;)
THAT'S SHOCKING, RIGHT? RIGHT? RIGHT?
SO YOUNG!!
Zukki's so cute!♪And she's always smiling.
Her smile is really infectious(*^o^*)
Moreover, she seems like she tries so hard and earnestly that she makes me want to help her!
.....is this what they call "maternal instinct"?
Yeah! It's like I'd like to tickle her or give her a big hug (lol)
She's a sweets-giving good girl (lol)
Well then,
along with Fuku-chan,
I present the 4 new members!!!
Please remember them, k? (*^_ ’)
And so, from here on is the reborn 9-member Morning Musume. Nice to meet you!
First☆Shots!

Today Yasshii, Eripon, and I gathered together before the concert and took a photo(≧∇≦)
This is the first☆photo-mail with just the three of us o(^-^)o
Then, since Zukki appeared, I took a photo of the 3 girls who passed the audition♪~θ(^0^ )
Ahhh......Zukki's innocent smiling face makes me feel giddy(´∀`)
Everyone's soo cute(*^□^*)
And just then! Fuku-chan came over, Morning Musume's new member from the Hello! Project Eggs~~~~~o(^∇^o)
(o^∇^)o
Now a shot with just the four 9th generation members(≧▼≦)click!☆(^_-)
Fuku-chan's kinda calming presence is real nice..
Soo healing( ̄∀ ̄)
It's like the sunfish area of the aquarium! (lol)
So just like that time flew by,
but they were so charming I couldn't help but stare! How typical...
I guess that's just how everyone is(*^o^*)
The 9th generation members☆
They make me so excited((o(^-^)o))
Reborn Morning Musume!!
We'll be trying our absolute best!!!
We'll make this current Morning Musume just as good as ever!
Woah... It's a shame Fuku-chan wasn't rehersing Tomo with them... D: I guess because she's an egg she's got to be busy rehersing the rest of the concert and working while the younger three only had that one song...
:P;; Would of been nice if she could of learnt with them- or even helped teach them the song so that they'd get to bond better!
; 3 ; I hope the other 3 don't get too close and not bond strongly with Fuku!!
9th Gen☆

Today, before the first show,
I called the 9th generation members over
for a lecture……………………
((((;゜Д゜)))))))
Not!
I wanted to take a photo with them (≧∇≦)
I was still a little nervous because manager-san
came over too (lol)
I stuck to it and said,
"Take a photo... with me~"
(^_^)v (lol) (lol)
Everybody's so cute!
Yesterday Ikuta Eripon gave me some delicious "Hakata Toorimon" sweets
from her home area of☆Fukuoka (o^∀^o)←Third photo ☆check it out☆
Everyone's really sociable, huh (lol)
What's next?
A photo of me mixing with the fresh 9th generation members (≧∇≦)
I wonder if I'll be able to properly relate to them? (lol)
However I'm the only one who's older (;_;) (lol)
The pose everyone's doing is a mystery pose!←
Actually I said,
"Let's do a 9th generation pose,"
and made a number 9 with my hands!
Still, it's kinda hard to understand (^。^;)
I reeeally want to try chatting a lot more with the 9th generation members soon ( ̄∀ ̄)

このふくちゃん、超かわいいーの。 可愛くないですか? よしよしってしてあげたくなりませんか? (笑)Translation:
They're featured on the weekly show Bijo-gaku:
No sign of Kanon either.
Ai posted on her blog about a drawing Zukki made.
It's Fairy Suzuki!
Ai commented how someone who draws herself as a fairy is a new type of character for them, and although she's not gotten to spend much time with her so far, she's already very interesting. :lol:
They ask them all the same questions:
What made you decide to take the audition?
M: I've loved Morning Musume since I was little, so I took the egg audition in 5th grade. This time I thought it was a chance to join Morning Musume, and I applied.
K: One day when I was out walking with my mom she said "It looks like they're doing auditions now." so I said "Really, then I'll try auditioning!"
R: When I was in kindergarten at our play-meet we did "Go girl~" and that became my impetus to become a singer. [Talk about motivated] This time on the net I found an article about the auditions on the net, so I applied right away.
E: I first liked Morning Musume from "Mr. Moonlight~" and I wanted to audition during the 8th gen auditions but I was only in 3rd grade at the time. After 4 years when I heard they were having this audition, I thought I'd apply.
How did you feel right when you heard you were accepted?
M: When they said someone from the eggs, I was sure it wasn't me, so I was really shocked.
K: "Are they ok with me!? I've never sung or dance, so if I join it might become an issue," I thought, but I knew I shouldn't say that, so I just kept quiet (lol).
R: When I first heard I was accepted I didn't really get the sense that it had happened. When I looked at the acceptance documents there were a lot of difficult words written, that made me think "I've really entered into the adult world."
E: During the auditions I thought I failed at both dancing and singing, so I wondered if it would be OK for me to be accepted. When I first heard I had been, I don't know how to express how happy I was.
Tell us about when you first met the Morning Musume Members.
M: I thought Michishige-san is really kind and funny. Takahashi-san was very kind, Mitsui-san was smiling the whole time; I had this image that Niigaki-san would be very strict when we were together practicing lessons but she is also very kind. I thought Tanaka-san's accent is really cute.
K: On the first day, I was like Wow, celebrities! When I gave Michishige-san candies I wanted her to remember who I was.
R: I had been able to perform with them before on the "Fashionable" stage. When I passed this time and went to shake their hands, they said "Long time no see!" so I was really happy that they remembered me.
E: I thought "Everyone's faces are so tiny." When I was at the training camp, I made mistakes dancing and singing in front of only a few people, but the members were performing in front of so many people without making any mistakes. I thought that was amazing.
Your impressions of the other 9ki:
M: Riho-chan left the impression of being a really good dancer. Erina-chan seemed quiet at first but she actually has a very vibrant loud voice (lol). I thought Kanon-chan was funny from when I saw her do her one minute play during the auditions.
K: Riho-chan comes across really cool, but in the practice room she did comanechi [a gag]! Eri-chan came and talked to me first. When I'm alone with Fukumura-san I feel like she's an older sister.
R: At first they told me that I was really quiet, so I went full-out being more friendly (lol). Kanon-chan also got really excited so it was fun. Fukumura-san has taught me a lot of things about politeness and courtesy so I'll be relying on her. Erina-chan seems like a bit of an airhead. [The word isn't mean, the other members often called Kamei Eri this way.]
E: Kanon-chan is a girl who is always smiling, I want to learn from that. When I saw Mizuki sing Maji Bomber! I felt her love towards H!P. Riho looks quiet usually but when she dances it's like a switch turns on. I think her dances can show her expressions.
Your goals for the future:
M: I want to become a person who can sing sad and happy songs. I am going to be aware of myself as a Morning Musume member from now on, and work to distinguish myself within the group.
K: I want to make all the fans smile in a lot of different ways. I want to become a character who people naturally smile being around. Also I'd like to learn some foreign languages so I can go around the world singing and dancing!
R: In the end I want to end up as the leader, so I'm going to be tough on myself. I'm going to work hard to improve my skills and expressions.
E: I'm not good at singing, so I'll try to do my best with dancing and talking first!

モーニング娘。9期密着2 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjCKu03JjlU#ws)Thanks for the video, they´re really very cute
Yup, short it is. Looks like they're getting homework. :lol:
The 9th gen members seem to really get along with and like Sayumi. I think that's good, Sayu could teach them a lot (or corrupt them horribly) lol
(http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip15301.jpg)Thanks the new Morning Musume members are very pretty

And the segment.
I was looking again at their ages while watching this clip, and I got to thinking how Zukki could totally be "daddy's little girl." Then it hit me...I'm actually old enough/at the age where I could pass as her (or any of the other 9th gen, for that matter) dad.And I thought they made ME feel old. XD :P Don't fret, JFC~

tomo mic rip - kanon suzuki.mp3She's bad, but damned if listening to this doesn't make me happy.
She's bad, but damned if listening to this doesn't make me happy.I know, right? Kanon seems to have a "8D" attitude for everything... it's just infectious.
Her smiles are all "omg I can't believe I just did that orz"Haha yeah, I loved all those moments. "I sure blew it :D" and the ever so slight puppy-dog-eyes.
The TV appearance for Maji Desu ka Suka on Gekkan MelodiX has just been recorded, airs 3/26.

- Riho saying her charm point is being able to bend her thumbs really far back,OSNAP! Yasshii has hitchhiker's thumb (http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-hitchhikers-thumb.htm)!
Morning Musume 4/6 release single "Maji Desu ka Ska!"
This is Morning Musume's 45th single.
For the 9th generation members, it's also their first single.
Since new members have been added, I've been wracking my brain this time.
It's been quite stimulating.
...
Since it's also a very important song for them, I've concentrated and spent particular care on
making a song positioned one step above the new members' current abilities.
...
The 9th generation is certainly bright and cheerful.
But looking closer, they're actually quite complex.
Sayashi's seldom-seen smile is precious.
From here on, she can be much more high-tension!
Suzuki is the most cheerful member and is a hard worker.
I'll be counting on her to keep her brightness and humor!
Ikuta is the Positive-Thinking Musume.
Well, even though her ability to concentrate is immature, she'll do her best!
Fukumura is a girl who's not aware of her own airheadedness. Of course she has attractiveness too.
She should definitely keep her my-pace attitude.
With the addition of these 4 new members,
Morning Musume's brightness has become more evident.
It's not just the brightness of the new members themselves
but it's like they transformed into a brighter group through a chemical reaction.

The Official H!P Site (http://www.helloproject.com/event/1106201200_live_egg.html) says there's going to be another Egg event on Sept. 11.
It says 14 Eggs are participating, and there are specifically 3 names that haven't been mentioned anywhere else yet:
大塚愛菜、茂木美奈実、小川麗奈
That's right, the first two names are Ootsuka Aina and Mogi Minami!

That means ALL the 9th gen finalists are in Hello! Project now!
Also, I've heard some rumors about the third girl, Ogawa Rena (Reina?) POSSIBLY being the finalist that was supposedly kicked from the auditions for blogging about it.
I don't know how much stock to place in this one though, because it's pure speculation.
Here's something for the curious and the brave of heart...
The first individual mic rips of 9th gen singing!

I'd say they all have a looong way to go, but mic rips are always brutal... :P
