Morning Musume. '14 12th gen - Golden audition

[Shoujo Q]

I'd be very happy if Sakurako made it. She's one of my favourites.

Then her and Sakura can have Cherry Blossum fan events in the spring. Because you know that would totally happen.

Shared Birthday event between March 8 and March 12 and a Cherry Blossom viewing (Hanami) event in late March. Would be interesting.

If Sakurako debuts in H!P, even if Sakurako doesn't enter MM, she and Sakura should have a Hanami FC event. (If only UF reads my post. Lol)

[Shoujo Q]

It's settled. I want Sakurako to debut in Morning Musume just so that can happen.

So it's Sakurako with Sakura for the Cherry Blossom Duo, or Rikako with Haruka as the Husky Duo

[Amped]

the audition is at its final stage (大詰め)

モーニング娘。の最新のオーディションも大詰め。そんな中、ふと思ったのが、最近の中学生は運動部に属さない子が多くなっているような気がした。もしくは今時のアイドルを目指す子は運動部に属さないタイプが多くなったのか・・・初期モーニング娘。の頃はあまり感じなかった感想である。

I just want to know the finalist so that I can choose a #Team.

I'm just hoping for the big reveal to be at the last H!P concert on the 9th. If they drag it out till the 20th, that's pure torture. I think that extra time could be better suited incorporating the newbies into the concert itself like Sakura did for the Colorful tour.

I think they will be revealed at budokan

I'm just hoping for the big reveal to be at the last H!P concert on the 9th.

I think chances for that are low simply because all the Tokyo concerts are over.
Big announcements like that they usually prefer to do at Nakano Sun Plaza.
Not saying they won't do it, but it seems unlikely.

9th and 10th were in Tokyo. But Sakura was announced during the start of the Colorful tour, that was in Kanagawa. The 10th Gen, the day before Takahashi's graduation and 9th gen, the start of the H!P 2011 Winter concert. They either do it at the beginning when media is there or at the end when media are there for other reasons (like a graduation).

They'll have media at the start of Sayumi's last tour so logically that's where they'll announce them then. It's just wishful thinking that they would do it during the H!P concert (It is Sayumi's last H!P concert after all), but I can dream.
