^^ Is it over? I thought only the application period was over?
Ok thoughts:
1) Completed in the new KSS era probably means they left, instead of just letting us guess when people leave when they stop showing up and take forever to take down their profiles on the website. Now, I think you can complete your training but still audition and make it in an H!P group. Why anyone would do that is questionable because being a KSS helps you a ton, but ofcourse due to her health, she probably needed to go and cannot commit. It think it's up to her if she wishes to audition as a "normal girl", and I doubt H!P will prevent her just cause she completed training.
2) I think KSS is a part of Hello!Project as an act, but they are not considered Hello!Project IDOLS because they're still in training and haven't debut. I would say Kashou Egg (if it ever happened) would be considered part the H!P company, but not as an act for H!P, and ofcourse not H!P idols.
3) That promise from Fuyuka to come back to S/mileage and reunite with Meimi T.T If #1 is true, then there's still a chance, but her health says otherwise...
4) KAEDI! It's so sad seeing her cry, it most likely means she really wanted to win. I think it's because she said she hopes to be ready for MM by the next audition (which is...now) so I think she was using this test as a way to confirm herself if she can beat everyone and make it to MM. Though I think she still did awesome for running up in dance, I mean Tanabe and Sakura didn't even place this year...the competition is tough but she got somewhere.
5) Congrats to Ruru! Yes, she looks derpy, but for other people it's a cute derpy, for some it's just weird. Can't deny she can sing though. She probably would've given Oda a run for her money trying to take the Suppin Utahime title (though, whether Tsunku wouldve choose them both is also a possibility), but now Oda is really pretty and knows how to selfie
.
6) Can't wait for debuting KSS! The new ones probably means that there's girls going into Country, Morning, and possibly a new group in Tsunku's mind. (Hopefully hehe)
7) Kaede did ok with the song but it was obvious she had a hard time T.T That song sounds kinda difficult though, there was barely any breathing space for her.
