Zukki: | "What's '10th Gen' mean?" |
I love the 9th Gen's reactions to the news!Zukki's reaction FTW! XDXD

I think it should be noted once again, Fujii is NUTS.
And Fujii is memorable and nuts, but girl needs to become humbler if she wants to be a likeable idol. Accept the advice from your mentors.
Watch neither of them get picked now :lol: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
Watch neither of them get picked now :lol: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
Yeah they aaare, 10TH GEN MANG D:
Haruka has like an angel's face, .......other stuff

Yeah, Natsui sensei is back scaring MM wannabee's :cow:
My opinion, as copied from another forum where I posted:My only alteration
Singing AND Dancing won't make the cut: Meru, Satsuki
Singing won't make the cut: Haruna, Masaki
Average - almost good vocals; egg or 10th gen, I'm on the fence:
Oogami Hinako & Miyagi Ayumi
:twothumbs choice for 10kie MM: Haruka, Ishida Ayumi, Sara (AND KARIN, DUH)
However, choosing someone with her caliber is kinda dangerous because it has the potential to make the 9th gen fade into obscurity. It's the same way I feel for Karin if she got in S/mileage. She has enough 'star power' to overwhelm the subs and possibly even the main members. Karin and Haruka are stars and they will be able to carry a unit if two of them are the pillars.This is fascinating because we really haven't had a new gen member who'd overshadow her seniors since Maki Goto, have we? I don't think Koharu or Riho count, even if they've had lead lines in singles. They didn't have that strong an instant impact.
Main vocal that will replace Takahashi Ai - isn't she already in UFZS/Up-Up Girls? :roll:
My picks:XD I thought she looked like Megumi when I first saw her too, but realised she's not that similar facially and didn't know enough about Megumi to know if I was just being silly! :lol: Glad to know it wasn't just me~
I dunno if it's because of the name or some of her mannerisms, but Sara really reminds me of Megumi from C-ute. It's as if Megumi went back to the past and instead of auditioning for H!P Kids, she went straight to Morning Musume. :lol: Skillwise, she's definitely in the top-tier among the finalists. Not picking her would be like choosing Darko over Carmelo, Wade and Bosh in the 2003 NBA draft.

It boggles my mind that people are actually surprised that Karin wasn't picked. SHE WAS NEVER IN THE RUNNING!!Was Miki in the running for 6th gen's? was Linlin in the running for 8th gen's?
No, and thus people wouldn't have been surprised if they weren't added... Because nobody expected them to!It boggles my mind that people are actually surprised that Karin wasn't picked. SHE WAS NEVER IN THE RUNNING!!Was Miki in the running for 6th gen's? was Linlin in the running for 8th gen's?
東京都の飯窪春菜は高校生ながら、性格ピュアやし、3の線も行けるし、歌も良しで
華がある。

ビジョンがしっかりしてる。
北海道の佐藤優樹はかなりの未知数。でも、今回のフォトジェニック賞です。
埼玉県の工藤遥はエッグで学んで来た経験と、歌手とモーニング娘。への強いこだわり。

As for what they bring to the group, I've never been one to care if they can sing or dance superbly. I always believe that being an idol is more than that. Some of my favourite idols aren't really all that great at singing or dancing yet they still make me so happy just because they have a winning personality. Thats what it's about to me, making up for weaknesses with other strengths. Hopefully these new girls will have a nice mix of those born to be on stage and those born to simply entertain :)
The last time H!P picking inferior mediocrity instead of superior quality, Kashiwagi Yuki ended up Team B captainI'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels this, but I'm glad that Yuki didn't get in Morning Musume because if she did, we wouldn't be seeing her jugs the way we do now.
Bangs are a good thing tbh, have you noticed how scary Akimoto Sayaka looks with her forehead exposed? XDScary? Really? I think both Sayaka and Sayu look more attractive with their bangs swept and/or forehead shown. I usually (with few exceptions) don't like the wall-of-bangs look that completely covers and obscures the top of the face (i.e. Gaki's "helmet" from the past couple of years, Risako's eyebrow-hairline). :P Sayu thankfully at least parts her bangs above one of her eyes which I think works nicely. I think an exposed forehead would only look "scary" if the girl had an oddly-shaped head or receding hairline.
There's reason Sayumi ensures her bangs are covering her forehead before having the pic taken
Your comparison/analogy is slightly flawed. You have to remember/keep in mind that with Miki and Linlin, neither of them were actually a part of those respective auditions in the first place. Miki had taken part in the 4th gen auditions, but didn't make it. She then joined H!P as a soloist and was added (or "thrown into", depending on how you look at it) MM as part of the 6th gen. Similar story with Linlin, she was brought over to Japan and joined H!P as an H!P Egg. She (along with Junjun) never actually took part in the 8th gen auditions. It's like being given an award/scholarship that you never actually applied for.It boggles my mind that people are actually surprised that Karin wasn't picked. SHE WAS NEVER IN THE RUNNING!!Was Miki in the running for 6th gen's? was Linlin in the running for 8th gen's?
New profiles for the new girls!

Satou Masaki
What's something you can't be beat at?
Perfect pitch
Uuuh... is she joking or what?? :huhuhMaybe she meant as in baseball :sweatdrop:
(Hey, perhaps there's a hidden meaning to "perfect pitch" that I didn't get, but still it's ironical :D )
Kudou HarukaLike me! If I'm ever attending a handshake event I'm gifting her a brick of green tea leaves & a whole
Favorite foods?
Meat, green tea (I'll like anything if it has green tea)
No, I'm pretty sure it's the normal meaning of perfect pitch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perfect_pitch).
I think her failures at singing during the audition camp were more about remembering the words and melody than anything else.
When she had those down for the final recording test, I thought she hit all the notes pretty well.
BTW, while I reviewed I also noticed that we now have two quite low-pitched girls in this gen: Masaki and Haruka. Now that's uncommon (And I like it :) )I thought Masaki's speaking voice is actually pretty high.

She sounded a bit like Riho during her self-introduction at Budokan.
I would have picked Meru as another darkhorse but that's just me. :lol:

Tashima Meru
11, from Fukuoka
No prior singing or dancing experience
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.
Anyway, should be interesting to see her develop and to think about what could have been XDShe would be like what, the 4th or 5th one that this happened with?
Juukies had a sleepover at Kudo's house. everyone acting hyper before sleeping. Kudo's mama said over 385,214 times that they were so noisy. lol.

10th gen have been in MM for 3 years 3 months. They now have been in MM longer than Goto Maki.- https://twitter.com/haro_wota/status/551061052247396352
Translated by simplemindead'17 from H!O
Translation of the 10th gen. interview from Bomb magazine from Oct. 7th. They talked about how they initially didn't get along, then getting along too well. Second half talked about more recent things, namely the last single and Kudou's graduation. The last comment, by Kudou, is a nice message that should be read.
In the beginning we fought every day over trivial things, didn't we? (laughs)
——First, if we could have you look back to around 2011, when the four of you joined as 10th generation members!
Satou: "I remember Harunan's jersey was cute!"
Iikubo: "During the audition right? Well that was because I didn't have a practice-purposed jersey." (laughs)
Ishida: "Looking at that cute jersey, as someone who practiced dance in the past I sort of thought is this girl underestimating dance?" (laughs)
Kudou: "Yeah, that I totally remember." (laughs)
Satou: "Also, Duu would call Ayumin 'What's your name again?' " (laughs)
Kudou: "In the beginning, it was because I couldn't remember everyone's name. Now, if you think about it, that was pretty bad huh?" (laughs)
Iikubo: "Even though this was after our acceptance announcement."
Ishida: "Yes, at the Budoukan right?"
Kudou: "I'm honestly very sorry for that!"
Iikubo: "With our acceptance settled, during the beginning I think there was a period where we didn't know how to connect with one another. Even our ages were scattered and for the time being we fought every day, didn't we?" (laughs) "On really trivial things."
Ishida: "I would be having a conversation with Harunan and since Maa-chan came to talk to me, I would say, 'hold on a sec', and just with that, Maa-chan would be like, 'I can't stand this anymore.' "
Satou: "I'd be like, 'whatever!' Until then, since I hadn't fought with a girl at school, and there wasnt even like things I thought we're unpleasant, I didn't understand why such emotions would boil up only with the 10th gen."
Ishida: "During the fan club tour when we went to Hawaii, there was also an incident where Maa-chan overslept, right? Due to collective responsibility even the rest of us lost shopping time. However, since she wouldn't apologize......"
Iikubo: "Since Maa-chan didn't go and see us, the three of us were gathered in a single room. Then, from the gap below the door of the room, a letter quietly came entering through, right? Although sorry was written on it, I taught her, 'I'm sorry should be said while looking people in the eye.' " (laughs)
Kudou: "As if she's her mother." (laughs)
Iikubo: "But each time we fought we made sure to apologize to each other, right? We would honestly say to one another, I don't like this or I don't like that.
Kudou: "That's right. Sort of like, easy to understand fighting, easy to understand making up." (laughs)
Ishida: "For the sake of making up, when it came time to say I'm sorry and both of our faces would scrunch up from laughter, conversely I may have liked those." (laughs) "That slight sort of embarrassed expression, I conversely think is kind of nice."
Satou: "Even if we were fighting, since we felt we wanted to be together in our hearts, when we made up we were twice as happy, all four of us."
Around when our acceptance was settled we didn't know how to connect with one another
Iikubo: "We were without reservation and was like, 'I'm rubber and you're glue!' " (laughs)
Kudou: " 'So then why do we fight?'—we talked about that right?" (laughs) "But you know, at the time, it was also because I too was lively. While it's okay to have a sense of rivalry, I was being blunt to the point of being told, 'Even being blunt has its limits.' "
Satou: "When Duu was the very first in order for recording, even though we wanted to know what to to pay attention to, Duu was like, 'Eh? What are you talking about?' " (laughs)
Kudou: "I was like I'm definitely not going to teach you." (laughs)
Iikubo: "I won't teach the other members the knowledge I've gained." (laughs)
Kudou: "I probably even thought to myself go make a mistake. It seeeriously was a dark past." (laughs)
Iikubo: "But before we knew it, I think around when we were approaching our one year anniversary since joining? We'd sort of gotten to the point where even wherever we went the four of us were together, weren't we?"
Satou: "Conversely, we were even told by our manager, 'It's about time you girls spread out properly!', right?"
Iikubo: "That's right. We were told to get along with the other generations as well."
Ishida: "There was that troubling period wasn't there. We were like, 'Do we have to stop clumping as 10th generation?' "
Satou: "Like, just how should we separate?" (laughs)
Kudou: "Like just what was the trigger that made us get along?"
Ishida: "The 9th generation joined as four girls and since 10th generation also joined as four girls, in events or DVD plans, it was often that the 9th generation would face off against the 10th generation. Perhaps it was also from there that the strength of our unity grew greater.
Iikubo: "Yes. For we all hated losing."
Ishida: "All the while saying, 'It's doesn't matter if someone's like a senior or junior member, right?' " (laughs) "If we totally lost we've even cried and stuff."
Kudou: "In private the four of us even went out of our way to go to Toshimaen, right? At the time, with Maa-chan and I still being middle-schoolers our schedules didn't really line up, but I do recall meeting up with them after the school closing ceremony ended!"
Ishida: "The four of us have even had several sleepover parties, right?"
Satou: "Since 10th gen. started doing sleepover parties, it feels like that the other generations also started doing them, doesn't it?"
Iikubo: "They're fun, right? Like the after-bath face masks." (laughs)
Ishida: "Since we would stay up late, with our high energy, we would do things like talk our heads off or start a pillow fight. Even turning off the lights and covering up in our futons, we'd be excited and couldn't sleep."
Iikubo: "You know I would often get my futon taken by Maa-chan. I'd be cold!"
Satou: "Maa-chan too; one time my leg got stepped on by Duu." (laughs)
Kudou: "Well that's because you rolled up and was hidden in the futon. Thinking it was just a futon, when I kicked it and it went 'Eek', I was like Ah!" (laughs)
Iikubo: "Since the last sleepover party was approximately a year ago, I'd like to do another one."
Since we all hated losing, we would like cry if we lost
I thought they would get mad at me and ask why I didn't consult them
——From here let's return to recent discussions and your thoughts, once more, on when you were conveyed, by Kuduu, of her decision to graduate.
Iikubo: "We were conveyed by Kuduu one day earlier than the other members though and the mood in the studio was tense. While I thought to myself Ah... because I knew how she felt about acting I guess a part of me was also a little relieved. I do think it's fantastic that she found what she wanted to do, having been in the group for six years, and my desire to support her was strong."
Ishida: "Although I still haven't at all considered about my own graduation, to hear that word from a generation mate, I think once more I realized the weight of it. Though Kuduu decided things without consulting much with those around her, because she has the strength to shoulder the burden, I think she'll be fine even if she's graduating."
Satou: "It's also us being the same age, but I thought it was amazing. For example, if she lives to be 100 years old then she hasn't even lived one fifth of that, yet she even thought about the future and the timing of her graduation, I don't think Maa can do that."
Kudou: "Honestly, I thought they would be like, 'Why didn't you consult with us!?' and get mad at me. For I was even told by my mother, 'Make sure you consult with your generation mates beforehand.' " (laughs) "Therefore, while I was a bit afraid the moment I brought it up, once I said it, because everyone was receptive and said they'll be rooting for me there was a great sense of relief."
Iikubo: "However it has yet to sink in." (laughs) "Even though the autumn tour has begun, due to a variety of things—such as Morning Musume's 20th anniversary, or Morito Chisaki-chan joining the group and this being her first tour—there's no room for it.
Satou: "So many things to remember! Seriously, the set-list is hard!"
Ishida: "While it's natural, given we're standing on the same stage, that we can't watch each other singing and dancing on stage from the audience's perspective!" (laughs) "But with this tour, I think maybe I'll spoil myself a bit and for the moments I can watch Kuduu, I should watch a little. I apologize if I'm looking away!" (laughs)
Satou: "Maa is maybe the opposite. Since I want to win against Duu till the end, if Duu and I get paired up, I like also feel I want to let my aura loose and twinkle."
——And for Kuduu the 64th single(triple A-side) that's currently on sale will be her last!
Ishida: " 'Dokyuu no Go Sign' is a song full of energy and we're split into singing members and dancing members. Some of us were taken in for acrobatics or coordinated gymnastics for the first time. With Kuduu and I, as well as Ikuta-san, Kaga, Yokoyama, and Morito as the dance team.
Kudou: "Since Kaga and I are tall and because we often become the bases, I feel a sense of responsibility from being entrusted with someone's life. The burden's a bit heavy!" (laughs)
Satou: "The song is amusing with the part where the melody completely changes but also Harunan's voice is super cool!"
When I talked about my graduation the sense of relief was...
Iikubo: "Ah, thank you!"
Kudou: " I believe 'Wakaindashi!' was a song Tsunku-san kindly wrote as a send-off for me. I cried at the recording stage, I cried listening to the finished song, I even cried at the recording of the MV." (laughs) "The lyrics are very positive and regardless of my graduation, I think included is the idea that there's a group now because the successive 41 members in Morning Musume are connected. Therefore I would like my singing to also be inherited hereafter."
Iikubo: "The MV is dramatic and there's also acting elements in it."
Ishida: "Even though we were told by the MV staff, 'No crying', since they want a celebration of a cheerful graduation and not a solemn send-off vibe, Kuduu cried." (laughs) "I ended up crying in turn though."
Satou: "When I hear it suddenly, Duu's smile comes to mind. Outside Duu is 'Wakaindashi!', inside Duu is 'Jamashinaide Here We Go!'; it seems. Like angel and devil. Like Jamashinaide is what Duu really thinks."
Iikubo: "But you know, it's not as if Kuduu wrote the lyrics." (laughs)
Satou: "Yeah, but like there's lots of parts that seem like something Duu would say."
——There's a little over 2 months left until Kuduu's graduation. During that time, what's something you'd like to do, the four of you, as 10th generation?
Iikubo: "I want to eat breakfast with everyone, as well as have a sleepover, and go out and have fun!" (laughs)
Ishida: "During today's interview though, I once more thought to myself, we sure can't stop when recollecting about the past." (laughs) "I'd like to reminisce as we eat normally."
Iikubo: "Also, we've been saying for a long time though that we want to do a 10th gen. bus tour, since that'll come true in November I might have no regrets with work."
Kudou: "The thing I wanted to do the most was finally granted. I'm happy!"
Iikubo: "The four of us in a room, that'd be nice right? I want to sleep disorderly together above tatami[/i] mats!"
Ishida: "Oh that's nice. But I think it'll probably be a regular hotel room though." (laughs)
Satou: "Hot spring inn is nice too. I wanna wear a yukata!"
——Well then, finally, Kuduu, if you could once more give a message to the other three members.
Kudou: "After I graduate I think it'll be really fun to watch the three of you sing and dance on stage, as an audience member. Certainly, even now, while you've been generation mates that I can boast about, as we all work even harder at various things, I hope we'll become the people with the kind of relationship where we're able to boast about the other. I hope the group becomes even greater and I want to see you accomplishing the things we couldn't do when I was in the group. Finally, I think I'd also like to have you watch the works that I perform in and listen to your impressions!
We can't stop when recollecting about the past
Notes clarifying some context:
"Apologize if I'm looking away" is directed towards the fans.
"Being the base and entrusted with someone's life" is referring to Kudou and Kaga's involvement in Dokyuu no Go Sign's dance break and assisting in the "back flips" Ikuta and Ishida performs.
"Cried at recording stage" is specifically about crying during recording as a point in time and not at a physical stage.
"Become people with kind of relationship we can boast about" is just hoping they all become successful and are therefore able to boast about their gen. mates because of their achievements.
