Morning Musume. '14 12th gen - Golden audition

[Chibs]

Both Miki and Haruna look up to Riho. That's great and makes me believe more and more that this generation is gonna help her open up her heart

not quite sure i understand. you mean riho will be more forthcoming? I think you should accept Riho as she is. She is not as cold as people picture her. She is a bit reserved and awkward, and the fact that Maachan is already working on her.

^I was not saying that. We were already commenting it (in the Sayu grad. thread) and I was just thinking that the new girls could end up being a moral support of Riho, kind of what happenned with Sayumi when she became the leader - she could finally show a hidden and magnificent side of her character. And I'm not saying Riho has forcefully to change and stop doing things as she has been always doing, actually I feel more the connection due to her being shy (can't avoid it), what I mean is that she obviously have a sort of suffering because of her introvertism and the fact that there are actually girls in that same Momusu who look up to her could really help her a lot to lighten the charge.

Riho reminds me alot of Reina tbh.

Its probably more like how Maachan opened up Reina.

Its not about wanting to change Riho, just about helping Riho feel more comfortable.

Maachan was able to bring Reina out of her shell and bring her closer to the other members of the group.

Often people like this want to be closer to others, but just don't know how and feel uncomfortable because of it.

My boyfriend is like that. Its taken all of the 2 years we've been together to get him to open up to me and become more comfortable with his emotions.

Todayy～♪
We took our first group photo with the 12th generation
When we are all lined up, it is sooo wide now (lol)

There were a lot of questions like, “What is the 12th like?” at the handshake events and in the comments but, I had only been with them when we had a show so, actually I only met them for the few concert days.

But today was the first! our first time doing work together I mean (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

They really do things at their own pace
and kinda space out all by themselves
and get in everyone’s business
and their voices are LOUD!!!

Like, today it kinda felt like that (o´罒`o)

Also, since Up-Front split the 12th Gen auditions into two parts and then stuck them in the middle of Hello! Station episodes, someone decided to pull them out and make them standalone videos…
