S/mileage's new name is ANGERME, 3rd gen members announced

[Starra]

It's only two months away -- besides, the new members aren't starting activities until next year, and I'm assuming that's when they'll change their name officially.

They could release a best-of album or something. I think someone said their next single was gonna be released next spring? Or that could've just meant the first single with 3rd gen.

Today we had a shoot as 9 members.（＾ω＾）
9 is so many! I really felt how many it was when we got together for the shoot!

But that’s strength! Or maybe! Fresh.
I want us to all get along quickly～

^ Hoping it was a single cover shoot.

Ah man lol, I was hopeful that we would get some action from S/mileage at least. I mean, I understand waiting until next year for Momusu, because they have a huge catalogue for the new girls to get caught up on, and they have some fresh, untrained members entering, but with S/mileage's not-too-long discog and their members all being high performing KSS, I was wishing that we would maybe get a late Nov/early December single lol And early December is still far enough off to pick a name, methinks.

Looks like Kanana sent in a name suggestion of her own.

Kana "Those of you thinking, mine won't get picked anyways! Please send it in! Kana will send one in too"

Comes with a translation from Lurkette at H!O.

--What were you feeling when it was announced you would join the group?

"They told me, 'Wada-san and Fukuda-san have something to say,' and for a moment I thought, 'Did I do something bad?' (laughs) I've always looked up to S/mileage so I was happy just to see the two of them in front of me (laughs), but then they told me I was a 3rd gen member, and I was so happy that I had no idea what to say."

--What did you like about S/mileage?

"Overall they're very cute, but each one of them has a different aura and personality, and that they also have a cool side and a sexy side."

--You become a Kenshuusei six months ago, you had quite the speedy debut, didn't you?

"Murota-san and Sasaki-san are both good at singing and dancing, so even though I'm in the same place as them, I'm desperate. After I went home I wondered why I had been chosen, but I couldn't find any reason (laughs). So, I think I'd like to show everyone how much I grow from now on."

--What's it like for you at school?

"I'm silent in the classroom, and in gym I eat a lot of gummies or jello. I really like to eat! But S/mileage's costumes have a lot of mini-skirts, so I'll be careful not to gain weight."

--What's something you want to do or a goal you have?

"I don't have any experience in working out in different regions and staying in a hotel overnight, so I look forward to that, and I want to ride the bullet train a lot (laughs). I still don't have much performance ability, and I'm not very strong, so I think it would be best for me to make myself comfortable being on stage."

What. ^^;

[Shabranikuduu]

I definitely would have preferred PE classes if I could eat sweets rather than do sports.

Maho seems pretty cool, I can't wait to see more of her.

Probably in the locker rooms or when they participated outside that had treats in their pockets ? I dunno
