Morning Musume. '14 12th gen - Golden audition

[resop2]

I think the trouble with telling them apart is that they all look like variations of Ayacho.

Budokan Day 2 MC recording - 12th gen introductions, more English from Miki.

Miki first told them her story in Japanese and then said it in English

"Last night, i put in (on) baby powder that you can sleep very well, but i was too excited and i could only sleep for 4 hours, but I'm feeling very well now. Thank you."

It just talks about how she got that nickname and how fans online are reacting (badly) to it, but that itself shows that it's not a bad thing, since... well. Attention. :3

It's a case of Daaishi, I guess. Might not sound cute, but it sure as hell brings attention.

Tsunku is on a roll with unpopular nicknames. Who can forget Sakurakkyo lol
Man i can listen to Miki speak english all day long

I just remembered my Hello Project average age calculation spreadsheet, time for an update with the new girls.

With the 12th generation the average age of Morning Musume dropped from 17.63 to 16.66. MM was already the group within H!P with the youngest average age. But before the 12th generation the gap with S/mileage and J=J was literally days. Now MM is the youngest group by over a year (S/m = 17.72, J=J = 17,76). When Sayumi leaves the average age will drop even further to 16.16. The group will be very young, but it won't beat the record of 15.94 just after Reina left.

This weekend we will see if MM stays the youngest group with the new additions to S/mileage.

age is calculated as:
days since birth / 365.25

average group age as:
total from all days since birth / 365.25

what is average age of the full group from Nakazawa on

[321BreakinOut]

Just add the age of the 1st gen when they joined then divide that by 5 lol

i don't think anyone mentioned the fact that "Tsunku showed up at day 2."
How long has it been since Tsunku's been around at concerts??? So nice that Tsunku is better.

THIS MEANS WE WILL GET MORE TSUNKU VERSIONS OMG CAN'T WAIT

@Celedam - RIGHT?!?!?! Miki looks like mini risako!!!!!! I remember Haruna because she kinda looks like wada + riho and has the same skin-tone as Harunan.

Honestly. I'm seeing a lot of pre-haircut Eripon in Miki when she's photographed from a distance. It's interesting as a long time fan to see the gradual transformation from girl next door to idol. It's probably my favorite part of being a Morning Musume fan.
