[aerosuffly]

They might have overwhelming amount of applicants from the recent hype.

I agree, that Tsunku being sick is a likely factor. id rather he took his time in coming to a decision rather than MM ending up with a random addition :s

but maybe some rounds have already finished and like with 11th gen some parts will be released later on TV. I guess we'll know closer to MM's autumn tour. Idk about country musume though ><

they finished the applications stage over a month ago. the last update. the applicants who passed were sent a letter for further instructions. Tsunku isn't in this process yet, its the staff who travel from to city to city who start the judging and eliminations in the 1st round. 2nd round, they come to Tokyo. 3rd round, camp. and final round. They haven't updated anything about the 1st round yet or locations.

I hope than Tsunku is going to take his time for this audition. He must do right choices

2nd round finished. successful candidates will be notified.

hmmmmmm

i wonder how this develops

Last H!P concert is September 9th. They could definitely announce the winners of both this and the Country Musume auditions. Thus giving the new 12th gen the entire run of Sayumi's graduation concert to learn the ropes like Sakura did during the Colorful Character tour, without actually being in the concert.

I rather have the 12ki member(s) to be announced during MM's concert tour - specifically on one of their Budokan shows.

Yay, we got news, means things are going out well.

I'm all for this, but I just hope they don't announce it as randomly as Sakura's.

Although I'm honestly conflicted about how they should present it.

I can understand why they announced Sakura as the winner first, then showed her audition later since it prevents us from emotionally investing into girls and then later getting mad at Tsunku.
When the auditions aired, since it was biased it made Sakura look better and didn't let her visual lack of appeal weaken her right as winner.

Imagine how much of a disaster previous 12th gen audition would've been if they aired the 4th round, it would've been like the failed 7th gen audition.

But I hope they at least hype up the announcement beforehand and don't announce 12th gen during an exclusive rehearsal.
