Wota can't do nothing but see how their power is falling. This news are amazing stuff for China. UFA is gonna care about a million potential fans over five thousand wotas anyday. Aya and Yuko have lots of fans in there, Goto makes Korea girls go mad, and MM gets two China girls. From now on, I can see UFA looking at those countries' music charts before looking at Oricon or caring about wotas other than keeping the loliness of C-ute for them. For once I like how is this all being managed.

I just hope Tsunku knows what he's doing.

But I fear that this move will make japanese fans angry. I hope I'm wrong though. If this happens (that sales go down in Japan) let's hope they can compensate this by gaining chinese market.

Well.....I think this may just work.

Yes, the new members are a suprise, but a nice suprise (for me anyway). I am sure they can speak some Japanese, can't see the fact they are Chinese being a problem.

Good luck to them!

I dont think theres much to worry about.

If they not popular they will get ditched

if they are popular they will likely get spun off and made into their own unit.

if they are semi popular they can stay in momusu and take the middle ground with fans.

I'm glad this place hasn't degenerated into racist and xenophobic comments...

I had to read about 10 new pages worth of posts since yesterday, and besides the people who ask the same question over and over again because they're too fuckin' lazy or dumb to read what's been already posted, i'm pretty sure i did spot at least 4 or 5 comments that can be considered has racist in this thread... :-|

HM is 1/2 hour

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

The press alone might spur interest and offers of appearances
that they can't buy or get on their own before.

Yeah there were some here, too, but it's still little compared to other places. I read some thread with over 100 comments and it was like 80% racist, lol!! We ain't got a problem here at least yet (for two years that's kinda well done).

:MKdigger:

(this is like my favourite smilie, I need to use it more)

I love my new sig!!!!

i admire tsunku's courage for making this move...it could give momusu a whole new level of stardom...or hurt the group badly that he might have to start morning musume from scratch.

on the positive side this is goin to be the craziest change on momusu and i'm looking forward to how things will unfold.

good one tsunku for thinking out of the box but stay away from crack dude.

I have no damn idea how this whole thing will turn out. I'm not Japanese, I'm not in Japan. I don't know this shit. I want to see them do well, but I wouldn't care if they blew up or had just enough fans to stay around.

Business in the "Bashing/Flaming" is about to pick up.

"I consider them as important key persons in stretching (the group's activities) to Asia, one of my goals in and after 2007, and decided to ask them to join Morning Musume,"

After 2007? Ohh, I really hope they stay.

Morning Musume Goes International
Call it a new era in Japan-China relations. The man behind Morning Musume has decided to give the group a more international look, and producer Tsunku (38 ) announced yesterday that the latest addition to the lineup will be two Chinese teenagers. The first audition was held in Beijing last year and included those who failed to qualify for the local "Super Girl" auditions. Chosen from that group was Li Chun , known as "Jun Jun". 16-year-old Qian Lin has been appearing on Chinese TV since she was in elementary school and was introduced to Tsunku through a friend. She has already appeared as a backing dancer on the Hello! Project national tour in January as is nicknamed "Lin Lin". Both girls need to take dance, vocal and Japanese language lessons, but judging from their photos, they will blend easily among the Japanese members. They will make their first appearance on the "Hello! Morning" show on TV Tokyo on March 18. Officially part of the 8th version of the lineup, which also includes the recently added Mitsui Aika (14), they will perform in front of fans for the first time at the May 6 concert which will mark the "graduation" of leader Yoshizawa Hitomi (21).

Miki: Tsoonk, where are you !! Oh there you are. I'm beginning to run out of girls to grope in MM. You better get me fresh exotic targets or i'll post those gay pictures of yours that i secretely took!!

Tsunku:

Tsunku: ah-ha

EHHHHHHHHHH?!?! They're appearing on this week's H!M?!?! Wait...does their appearance mean when Tsunku announces? Or are the new girls participating in the games with the current MM members? o.O

That line is talking about stretching the group's activities to Asia, not necessarily about these girls remaining in MM after 2007

NO, NOPE, NEIN, NYET, IIE :evil: :evil: :evil: Not the same, not even close to the grace of asian girls in general, and japanese and chinese girls in particular, and the mindset also is way too different.
