comments at the unveiling

Tsutsui Roco
My name is Tsutsui Roco. I'm joining OCHA NORMA. I'm 14 years old and a 2nd year junior high school student from Saga prefecture.

I'm very happy because it has been my dream to join Hello Project since I was a little girl. I heard the announcement of my acceptance just today, so I don't know what to feel yet, but I want to do my best so that one day I can lead the group in singing and dancing. I'm looking forward to working with you.

Tashiro Sumire
My name is Tashiro Sumire, and I have just joined OCHA NORMA. I am 16 years old and a 1st year in high school from Kanagawa Prefecture.

I heard the announcement of my acceptance this morning, so to be honest, I don't really know how I feel yet, but I'm very happy because it was my dream to become an idol. From now on, I want to bring smiles to everyone's faces as a member of OCHA NORMA, so I will practice singing and dancing every day to become a legendary idol. I'm looking forward to working with you.

So Runo is still the youngest member of H!P, by a few months.

If ANGERME gets a new member from this audition, it has to be tonight at their event?

I was thinking they could wait until their end of year concert premium, but it might make more sense to do it now & just have them do an intro MC at the concert.

Edit: Before I forget; wota think Tashiro Sumire's older sister might be actress (and former member of idol/bandol group Le Lien) Tashiro Hikari.

Edit x2: Hikari is following the OCHA NORMA twitter & liked the new member announcements, so.. probably.

Well the first event is over. Nothing popping up online so far.
Second events starts in 10 minutes.

Update:
"New Angerme Members will be revealed at their premium year end concert"

Now I just need to wonder when they'll introduce any new Kenshuusei from the audition. I hope we don't have to wait until January.

Color me not surprised. I wonder just how many new members ANGERME will end up getting.

My guess is still just one or two. If it's two, maybe another Kenshuusei and an audition winner.
