[News] Two Chinese Girls To MORNING MUSUME!

[ferrar1]

They are scheduled to appear on Yossi's graduation concert in May. But as like in the past, it may be just for an introduction + a song.

[00HB]

you know what... I don't care if they will or will not speak japanese fluently...
I don't care if they are chinese, japanese, korean, american or from anywhere at all....
Tsunku ideas were always full of coments like "Oh god he is bringing MM down!" and yet.... they are here nowadays.....
I'm actualy glad that 8 gen is not a "one-person" gen again... Koharu always seemed a little left aside for me and that's a bit sad, so I was a lot disapointed when only Aika was chosen...
At least Aika will now have some company on walking her path as a starting singer...
As any new gen, they are renovation for the group... And we can't do nothing but wait and see if Tsunku's crazy ideas will AGAIN amaze us...

[Of course we can pray a little! xD ]

i'm glad tsunku didn't just put one of the two girls into morning... that'd be pretty bad b/c of the slight language barrier, in addition to having to leave home and everything that's familiar....

[nox_xie]

that briliance man/girl..  i also agree.. koharu seem leftout.. must be very hard for pinkie.. hope the 2 girl can be fren with aika, worry if they just be 2 instead of 3 coz of language barrier.. like my chinese fren.. sometime they speak in chinese and i dont understand what they laughting about.. that so cruel..

[RetsuMarippe]

I'm all for Tsunku hitting up the Philippines though, I've got connections there.

really dude? you've got connections here? that's great! If Tsunku will get a member from my country...thats a...:pen_clap: :ONwahaha: :panda_haha: and for sure we'll look ever it...

==================================

(*reviewing language knowledge...I only know English & Nihonggo...note: self-studying Nihonggo...)

ok...srsly...I think it wouldn't be a problem if Linlin speaks a bit of Nihonggo and Junjun knows nothing about Nihonggo...for sure they'll undergo training in almost all of the aspects of being a MoMusu member...it's natural that there are reactions regarding this decision made by Tsunku...but I think maybe all we can do is to support them in the most possible way we can...whatever the reason is...Tsunku's doing what he thinks best for H!P...

yeah... but i think being the only 7th gen. makes pinkie strong~! plus she was only 12 - quite the age gap with her senpais then... aya did mention how pinkie doesn't cry or anything when miki criticizes her for her shortcomings, rather takes it with a pinch of salt.

but yeah... i hope they'll get along with aika and the rest of the members but it'll prob take a while... esp for junjun.

[orangesocks]

I just saw a video clip this afternoon and I don't quite get this at all...It's going to be chaotic when there's a language barrier between the members. I guess they're just trying to broaden their audience...Hello! Project will become Hello! Project Asia! or something.
...
I hope it pans out. Bring it on!

Here's a simple newbie theory : Tsunku gets Li Chun & Qian Lin to join MM and is mentored by all the seniors. After a year or so of experience with MM Tsunku sends them back to China to start an H!P branch there with Li Chun & Qian Lin as the first gen. If all goes well he does the same with other neighbor countries. - did that make any sense?

[misugi]

Maybe MM have to learn Chinese

Thanks! That cleared up a lot of weird questions I had...Good heavens, what a lucrative business!

That's because Koha loves Miki. Really.:ONhee:

Anyway Casper's theory definitely sounds plausible. And in fact, I like it the "Chinese branch" of Morning Musume!

[Nowaru]

From that youtube vid, LinLin looks like she speaks a sufficient amount of Japanese, but JunJun is totally puzzled

i would agree on that...

Well, lets see.....since some people here seem to think that Tsunku is mentally impaired....and he has only been planning this for a year.......nope, I don't think this idea ever crossed his mind :evil:

COME ON PEOPLE!!! He said it himself on his message:

In 2007 and beyond, one of my goals is to expand into Asia, and I decided having the girls be key persons and join Morning Musume would be the best thing.

[JTRIX]

now here is the question, how long will Chun and Lin be staying in MM? As we all know they are named "transfer student", that means most likely they won't stay in MM for a long time (compare to the amount of time other members have been in MM) and they may not even have an official graduation or something when they do leave MM...

Although Tsunku specially said they are the "key people" for the door to the Asia market (quoted and paraphrased from reyfer (THANKS BUD), but how I see is this (remember, this is my assumption!). The amount of time they will stay in MM, as well as this "Asia plan" Tsunku has, will probaby be base on the amount of CD sold for Chun and Lin's debut single with MM...

what I mean is this ---> we know that Tsunku wants to expand H!P to other Asia countries. In order to know whether this will work he needs to know how people (whether they are in Japan or other countries) will react to the group (i.e. MM) with members that are not Japanese in it. To do this, the most basic way is to look at the debut single for Chun and Lin. If the sell is good/great (better than what currently MM has) then the chance for Chun and Lin (and perhaps the chance of adding new foreign members) will likely be increase, and vice versa if the sell is not good.

so to my conclusion, Tsunku is putting a bet on this. Obviously I hope majority of people will like this new "Asia idea" by Tsunku and that Chun and Lin will stay in MM longer... but in reality it's all depend on the sell and the publicity of them with MM...

yes.. that true.. err.. transfer student is not exchange student right.. imho, they will stay at least for a gen.. junjun and linlin sure add a lot of aura to the new gen.. can't wait to listen to their debut song.. :ONwhistle:

[iachu]

I was going to drop the subject already, but.. Mind if I revisit this statement when they actually debut..? It doesn't have an inkling of realism.

I meant when they start doing interviews etc., but I know even that is unrealistic.  Suppose I am just being ultra optimistic!

Apologies if I was dragging it up again.

Unless they're going to be held back for a year or two before debuting, but that's not very likely.

ya... I hope they will last at least for 1 gen (i.e. at least until 9th gen joins)

they made their TV debut on yesterday (Sunday) H!M, and they will have their stage debut on the day when Yossie graduates, which is May 6th. I believe they will have their first singing debut as MM when the 34th single comes out.

junjun's self shots look cute. she so doesn't look 19. also, linlin does look like ayaka
