There is little time left for the hopefuls .It`s really hard to make a judgment on just a few minutes of footage as we don`t see everything the staff sees that day .Being a backdancer for Dorothy Little Happy has advantages , but is it enough to meet the demands of Morning Musume.
This audition like the 9th gen is more about life after the big names are gone. I don`t know how many he will pick ,Tsunku is a sneaky man and that smile on his face tells me he has what he wants from this audition and it may surprise us all.
The idea of all ten joining is over as two left Tashima Meru & Miyagi Ayumi seem to have dropped out ,will that open the door for two Eggs and keep Tsunku`s crazy idea he hinted at last week of a 18 member Musume ?
On a related note, their current single is currently their best selling single since 2007. How soon can we start 11th gen auditions, time to get back to what this group is famous for, idol creating. lol
Trying to out run a coming Typhoon and get a few posts on site. Still not feeling all that well yet, however show must go on as they say.
This is a subbed version of the 10th gen, training camp .A great bunch of subbers have taken on the duty of subbing HPT. Give them a word of thanks on You Tube.
In the episode you get to see, just how being an idol is not a game. I know that Tsunku is obsessed with finding a replacement for Aichan, not sure, he is looking in the right place, try 9th gen a little girl from Hiroshima.
Tsunku did hint at maybe taking all 10 and making Morning Musume 18 members. Sayu would love that, more playtime dates for Sayu, lol.
I am not sure we will see all 10, but 4 could be possible, but with H!P one thing we know is we don`t really know until we know.
Here is the latest video of the 10th gen audition for Morning Musume, two things stand out quickly in this bunch, and it pays to have been a back dancer for the idol group Dorothy Little Happy and Sara who has no formal training is good. There are gems in this audition and it`s going to be a hard choice to decide. Musume may just have to get much larger then expected and that may not be a bad thing as this group is reloading for the future fights with the fresh face idol generation, not AKB48.
Remember you are only seeing a small part of what the agency is doing with them, so what they see in an idol may never be shown on TV.
Musume`s 10th Gen`s Two Dorothy Little Happy Members
When I made my post on the Morning Musume 10gen auditions ,my time was limited and I rushed the post and in doing so I left out a very important bit of information .There is actually two members of Dorothy Little Happy back dancers in the final ten not one as I had posted earlier .
They are Ishida Ayumi and Tanaka Fuuka .In my rush to post, it slipped my mind that
Tanaka was the same Fuuka that we have grown to love as a supporting member of DLH.
It later came to me, when things settle down, lol.
Anyway, enough rambling .I thought that you would like to see the two and the other supporting members take over DLH Ustream show, so you can get a better feel for Ayumi and Fuuka.
The Morning Musume 10th generation auditions is down to the final ten and four of the ten have past non H!P experience of some kind including being a backing dancer for Dorothy Little Happy and one is an Egg.
The final ten are
Kudou Haruka [11[current H!P Egg] ,
Iikubo Haruna [16] , currently is an actress /model
Sato Masaki [12] ,her mom is a Musume wota . Has past industry work
Tashima Meru [11] ,she is raw and going into this with no skill training at all [I expect her to be an Egg] ,
Oogami Hinako [self claimed H!P wota] .
Miyagi Ayumi [11] she is a 6 yr dance school veteran .
Miwa Satsuki [12] was in the 9th gen auditions
Tanaka Fuuka [12] entered dance school at are 6 .[Post Edit -Is also a Dorothy Little Happy Back Dancer ,name just slipped through my fingers ,sorry DLH Fans ].
Murakami Sara [13] Sara like Meru has no past vocal training ,yet is a natural singer .Has past industry work
Ishida Ayumi [14] is a member of a Sendai based Indie Idol unit and backing dancer for Dorothy Little Happy and lastly Murakami Sara [13] .
Note -Has past Industry work = [Indie Idol, model, actress ]
Currently the wotas are supporting Haruka ,Haruna and Ishida Ayumi and Meru coming in 4th .
Sara I believe will appeal more to Western fans and that does not always translate well here domestically . However, Sara is an untrained natural singer and this could be an edge for her .
Ayumi`s background is with two units and is a clear choice for membership . Her main unit
As they are from the same company ,she serves as back dancer for Dorothy Little Happy.
Just how trained are the members and backing members of Dorothy Little Happy and why Ayumi would be the best choice as one of the members .
However, as we know from past experiences the clear choice is not always the one that H!P makes . With such a talented field ,it will be hard for Morning Musume not to have their future front girls grow stronger from this audition .Don`t fool yourself here ,Morning Musume is not auditioning for today , but for when the main girls graduate .Morning Musume is reloading to face the younger up and coming fresh faced idol units ,not to battle AKB48.
EDIT- I went back and double checked DLH roster hours after posting , because something was not letting this post rest and I am glad that I did .Tanaka Fuuka is also listed as a back dancer for DLH.
Given the recent earthquake, the nation is looking for many things to have hope in and throughout history one thing that has always brought hope is Idols.
Idols are everything that is good in a way ,they offer smiles ,laughter ,music ,comedy , but more importantly, they offer hope .Hope to young girls who dream of becoming idols.
