Tsunku's tweet translation about Golden Audition
The Morning Musume audition is coming to an end. Recently, I found that many school girls are not involved in a sports club in school. However, among these girls, many of these girls want to be in an idol group that are active today. I almost felt like not having to deal with girls who loved the days of old Morning Musume.

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。

- from Rika Im assuming from this board.

I can't say I agree with this translation tbh. He said that lately, there are a lot of junior high school girls, or perhaps it's just girls who want to become idols right now, who aren't the type who belong to a sports club. He says it's an impression he didn't get back in the days of 1st gen MM.

For me, it just shows that auditionees are less interested in sports than in becoming idols. Read: they are not really "normal" girls who don't aim to become idols like 1st gen MM.

That has a completely different meaning LOL wow.

I thought it was initially different because of the translation, sorry.

Audition is over.

There are winners this time! Yay!

Wait...
Has that message really been on the site since August 25 and somehow nobody noticed?

I assume they accidentally kept the date that the previous message was posted (third round ending), as that isn't on the site anymore.

Well hypothetically if they're going to make their concert debut at MM's Fall Tour on September 20th, how are they going to keep the winners quiet for that long? Damn.
That's also two weeks to air episodes about the auditions in before the concert which is more hype if they decide to air it.

Damn Im excited and anxious holy moly.

Allright then.
Time to keep our eyes open for footage.

Unless they announce her/them Sakura-style (which I'm all for by the way) and post up all relevant info later.
At the latest, we'll know something in 85 days.
