Another one?!?!

When was the last time Angerme had an audition? [Kamiko] (2015)
Layla came from the general H!P audition.

So, it’s been a long while since they’ve had an audition just for the group.

They are due for some new freshness (that doesn’t come from the kenshuusei). I hope they can find another Kamiko or Meimi. They need someone like that for sure.

I'm expecting they'll add at least one Kenshuusei too.

They also use the audition to find talent, not just for ANGERME.

First I went "11!?" and then remembered Kassa was, what, 12 when she joined?

^ Just a few months short of 13, but… yeah. It's easy to forget because she matured very early, but that's also one reason why she made such an impression in the Spring 2016 test. Her and Momohime standing together after they won that test, when they're only 15 14 months apart in age… Puberty is a hell of a thing.
