I think for Eripon in general she has each of the 8th in one way or another and I think of it as glue for everyone. She may not be great at one thing but being good in many is better than saying you were nothing at all

Funny they're going for any nationality; even if he's/she's bringing his/her own props team, there's still the communication with the MM'15 girls

And open audition to the public...Hello!Project is willing to put their MV in the hands of an amateur? Maybe Up-front are still on a budget so tight they don't want to pay for Christopher Nolan or the Japanese equivalent of a blockbuster director

Follow-up of sorts regarding the "director search" thing...

Quote

Would you like to direct a Morning Musume ’14 PV?

Your chance has arrived! Morning Musume ’14 will be collaborating with Fuji TV in a year end special titled “The Big Chance”. The special is an audition program scouting out people who hope to debut professionally in the entertainment business as a musician, video director, or lyricist.

Gender, age , and nationality doesn’t matter, but the contest is limited to people living within Japan only. Both professional and amateur directors are allowed to apply. The application asks for your favorite Morning Musume ’14 member, “Self PR”, an example of your work, and a short paragraph on your idea for the PV.

The lucky few who pass will be contacted by staff and be invited for the live airing of the show where the winner will be revealed. The winner will get to direct one of the videos on the girls’ next single. The application form can be found here.

“The Big Chance” will air on December 29th.

Change of command news (or at least what I glimpsed from H!O):

Mizuki succeeded Sayu as leader.
Ikuta is now co-deputy with Haruna
