[News] Two Chinese Girls To MORNING MUSUME!

[Kira-sama]

My summary comment: in H!P ok, in MM no not really, but waiting how it works out.

exactly. i double that summary.

[Saburo]

Great, now Yonsama is gonna join Musume and Company.

There goes the neighborhood!!

[reyfer]

well dunno for sure bout that either but that's what the article said, there's still one more member from korea hahaha

I really want to see miki and ai face when tsunku spread the news :ONkekeke:

Nope, what the article says is "it is said that the addition of members from other asian nations, such as South Korea, is possible in the future"

[BeLLisima]

Aaaah I c...

But if it's true that's gonna be soo cool, and without any clue we'll see momusu perf in korea along side with Boa en Super Junior hahaha COOL!!!!

Ai-chan's face when she's in shock soooo Priceless....that's what I wanted to see hahaha

And mikitty's Death Glare while staring to the newbies hehehe

[ShoujoHino]

Wait, JunJun's 19 right?


............I predict she will be popular here.

[LegendKiller86™]

So this is what Tsunku means by "ASIA"...

Well, Junjun seems hawt~:ONwahaha: :ONhehehe:

[burichu]

Great, now Yonsama is gonna join Musume and Company.

There goes the neighborhood!!

I like the idea but do they speak japanese ? If I  remember correctly BOA had a hard time studying japanese when she debuted . Maybe we have chinese MM song or chinese catchphrase in the lyrics lol. And China is a big new market for up the sales

If you read earlier you will see that Linlin has been in Japan for about a year with Eggs and is probably got a good amount down, and JunJun doesn't speak it. ^^;;

I was under the impression the Japanese were fairly xenophobic. Sure hope these new talents don't get too much flak for being gaijin.

That's what I'm kinda worried about too.  Personally I haven't decided one way or another whether I like this news or not but I certainly don't hold anything against the two girls.  There are still many in Japan who hold bad blood towards China and vice versa.  I'm very curious to find out how the 2 channel reaction to this news has been because even though there have been foreigners in H!P, they've never been part of the main group and many did not last very long so there has never been a reason for the wota to get really uppity over it, but now who knows?

[jaasai]

meh, I doubt its going to be that big of a deal. I see this as being only a temporary thing. Based on the negative reaction (aside from the prevs), I'd imagine that the moment sales start to drop, so will these two girls. And if for some reason they do make it through, I'm pretty sure the company is going to go out of there way to cram the Japanese language into them so the whole "can't speak Japanese" is probably going to be a non issue by the time they premiere. That or they're going to loop the X-files intro theme every time they appear on tv. (btw, what is that all about?)

[ahcheungape]

haha what a surprise. two chinese joining MM. its gonna be interesting to see how they'll do. its gonna take a long while before they actually appear wit the girls right due to the language barrier?

i guess i am one of few supporter out of this. maybe because i am chinese myself. plus, Jun Jun is cute and is around my age!!haha i guess ill start checking up MM again. ever since rika left the group, i rarely follow them anymore.

[shirenuファクトリー]

Wow I went to read comments elsewhere and the closed-mindedness of people is just overwhelming

I'm still excited about this and I hope they're a permanent attachment to MM Sorry but Japan has already given up on the current MM... The only way Momusu can become bigger again is if instead of being Japan's daughters, they become Asia's daughters... With that being said, I still want the majority to be Japanese, but you know. Like I said before, to me it doesn't matter where a girl comes from if she's kewl. Japanese ent. industry seems to be more acceptive of some gaijinism these days, too, so it's like finally UFA does something modern/trendy before it's out of fashion.

So yeah I'm feeling excited about this and anxious to see the new girls with Momusu!!

(This is mostly about the non-jph!p posts, we seem to have saner people here)
I hate it that people are predicting doom, AS ALWAYS, even before the girls have debuted! Omg try to think POSITIVELY for once k?? All the negative pessimistic whine whine crap is just... Ridiculous! I don't care if you'll "stop following MM" now, good riddance I say if you can't handle two cute Chinese girls! Good riddance indeed, one less whiner to annoy us! And the whole "I'll stop following MM after 6th gen/Koharu leaves!" LOL so you really are dead certain that in the next 2-5 years you will not like the Chinese girls even for a second (because 2-5 years is how long it'll take for 6th & 7th gen to leave)? Yeah good luck with that, you prejudiced idiot

LOL ok that was a bit harsh, but it wasn't targeted at anyone in particular. I'm just so sick of all the complaints. And yeah NOT HERE, this thread is still reasonable. But when you read some place with 98% negative comments, it gets on my nerves.

[smoking_man]

Anything is bearable as long as MM won't be cancelled and gain some salespoints - it's soooo sad to look on info on theppn; they're cute, if they have some character plans on them - so the better; maybe MM would be in Utaban once more .... looking forward to it

[JTRIX]

^no worry shi, I'm kind of on your line too... like we really don't know what will happen if Chun and Lin joined MM, we should look forward to it (whether it disappoints you or not) and see if anything exciting will happen.

By the way, I'm not sure if this is what Tsunku trying to attempt, but everyone knows that recently Tsunku had Gocchin (along with other idols like w-inds) to go to Beijing and did a concert that promoted "Chinese-Japanese foreign relationship".

Maybe Tsunku is doing this for the favour of Japan (personal will or asked by Japanese government??? I DON'T KNOW). By sending idols to different Asia countries or recruiting members from those countries, Tsunku is trying to help people in Japan as well as other countries to accept more on each other's culture.
ya... this sounds very political but somehow I see this will have an effect and perhaps a good effect on the tension there is between Japan and other countries in Asia.

[harlock]

This is the best thing to happen to MM in a very long time. Super smart move by SoonkP~

[Kei]

I'm glad this place hasn't degenerated into racist and xenophobic comments. Everyone is calm about their views on it and that's why I like this place; there's no bullshit.

Rock on JPH!P. Rock the fuck on.

[cephiro]

lol
that was really a surprise as i read this news today
but those 2 really look cute so i hope they'll make it

[Princess Pudding]

With the clip, Junjun isn't bad per se. She definitely has potential to improve, and I think she definitely will by the time she debuts singing-wise, but her tone of voice is actually pretty good. It's just how she ends her notes (slightly under pitch) that makes her sound bad, I think...?
