Morning Musume '9th generation auditions' Announcement

And now, would you look at that!
An announcement for auditions for 9th gen has been announced, lol.

There's a website up now too!
(Nice flash banner... not)



Translation of つんく♂ Official Blog Post

About Morning Musume 9th generation auditions

Greetings! I’m Tsunku
The members are always changing, making Morning Musume continue, and after 4 years, we’re looking for new members!

We’ve been looking for the proper timing to hold these auditions for Morning Musume.
This time, along with the news of Kamei Eri, Junjun and Linlin graduation, it was decided that it was the proper timing.

Girls in the 10-17 years old range who love singing, please participate!

Requirements:
① I’m very energetic and cheerful!
② I love singing and want to become better at singing!
③ I admire the world of entertainement business!
④ I want to become cuter!
⑤ I want my talent to be discovered/found!
⑥ I don’t have self-confidence now but the day when I shine will surely come!
⑦ I don’t have self-confidence but I will do my best!
⑧ Everyone around me suggests to enter the entertainment industry
⑨ I have the confidence that I will be #1 in the entertainement world!
⑩ I love Morning Musume (Hello! Project)!

With these 10 conditions, one girl (of the applicants) will be selected!
Be sure to send your application, please make the future Morning Musume a star in the Japanese entertainment world and make them advance in the world!


---
So we will be getting new momusu members after all!
This is kind of exciting, since I've never seen through an audition process.

LOL at the requirements...
But wth? Ages 10-17... Morning Musume is going to be so messed up if they pick a 10 year old. The age gap will be massive! Takahashi Ai will be like 14 years their senior! >.> And Morning Musume has always felt like the older sister group to Berryz, ºC-ute & S/mileage. If they pick a 10 year old, they're going to be so much younger than all these kids. @__@ Makes my head spin just thinking about it.

THREE to graduate Morning Musume!?!?

I really wasn't expecting to see THIS when I got home from work today...

Kamei Eri, JunJun & LinLin will graduate from Morning Musume and Hello!Project at the end of Morning Musume’s 2010 Autumn 'Rival Survival' concert tour.



Translation of つんく♂ Official Blog Post

Big announcement from Morning Musume。

About the graduation of Eri Kamei, 6th generation member

Eri Kamei came to me several times regarding her health condition. One time, she said to me : "I would like to find the time to cure the atopic dermatitis that I'm suffering from."
Since the time she joined the Morning Musume。, it looks like she was dealing with symptoms like itching and slight skin color changes. She took medication to calm the symptoms down and she also used make-up to cover it but during live concerts, there is a lot of sweat and many outfits to put on, which made her recovery very difficult. Some may say it is "just a skin problem" but according to doctors, an external problem like skin problem may move to an internal level. It may as well have an impact on her spirit, her mental level. Also, for her, it is a serious thing so she decided to focus on her recovery instead of letting it continue.
Eri Kamei will graduate from the Morning Musume。 and the Hello! Project on the last day of the Morning Musume。Autumn 2010 concert tour.
As for her activities after that, I intend to discuss with her after her full recovery.


About the graduation of Jun Jun and Lin Lin, 8th generation members (foreign students)

In May 2005, both of them joined the Morning Musume。as foreign students and today, while being skilled singers and entertainers, they also greatly improved their japanese proficiency and they are now grown-up women. This is why I took the decision to graduate both of them at the same time as Eri Kamei on the last day of the Morning Musume。Autumn 2010 concert tour.
After graduation, they will enter a period of preparation before focusing on their singing and entertainment career in China.

SHOCKING!

I knew there had to be another graduation at some point, but I wasn't expecting it so soon maybe? And especially since there has been no mention of auditions or anything. I really wanted to see a couple new additions to Morning Musume before we said goodbye to another three girls.

With the exit of these three, Morning Musume will be down to five members. Morning Musume hasn't been this small since the very beginning, which is kind of interesting. Maybe Tsunku is trying to revive the glory days by cutting down the number of members, and then looking for one new member who will be the new Goto Maki!

Nah I donno, I am almost certainly wrong, lol.



This new development in the H!P world is definitely interesting!
I wonder what's going to happen next!


Btw, Sorry about the lag in updates again.
Nothing has really caught my attention lately. (In other words, no Buono!) But hopefully this announcement has renewed my interest in H!P!

I'll also update in a bit with all the downloads that I've missed, so watch out for that! :)

℃-uteコンサートツアー2010春~ショッキングLIVE~ [DVD]

Banana A. Banana B.


OPENING
Wooooooaaa....

1. SHOCK!
Awesome song to start the concert with!! I really wasn't into this song when I've first listened to it, but I actually like it now X) Shock! Shock! lol

MC

2. Massara Blue Jeans
I know I've mentioned it so many times (lost count how many), but we really need Kanna to shout at the start..... it's not the same anymore.... T-T

3. Amai Wana
Yes! One of my favourite song!!! X) It's sooo much better live!! I fell in love with those 'wiggly hand flickering" bit. For those that doesn't know what I'm talking about, here's the picture.
*click*

Opening VTR (BGM Akogare MY STAR★ remix ver.)
Yaaaaaa~

4. Akogare My STAR★
Very strong stage performance =D

MC

5.Shigatsu Sengen
Nice ballad, but I still can't get over how bad the PV was for this song. lol

6. Lonely girl's night (Yajima Maimi solo)
Actually, I didn't mind her voice here. Not too manly solo song for the first time =D

7. Seventeen's VOW (Saki, Chisato, Mai)
Uuuurrggh!! What's with their outfits!?!?!? >_<" Why can't they wear stylish suits like in 'Forever Love', and not Daddy's suits!?!? It's sooo wrong.... T-T

MC
I guess, THEY liked it....... -_-"

8. Darling I love you (Chisato solo)
Niiiiiiiice~~!! I'm not so into this song, but it's so nice to see Chissa having a solo song! She sooo deserves it! X)

9. Image Colour (Maimi, Airi)
Yea, the song was ookay. But seriously, their outfit's so disturbing! I don't think it even appeals to the wotas either! ... I might be wrong..??

10. Ikiyouze!
Okay, even with their unflattering outfits, they've done a really good job on making it LOOK cool. and gosh, I think they've all improved their dances sooo much (not just for this song, but in general) O_O!

MC

11. The Party!
Niiiiiiiice!! Wasn't so into this song, but this performance has changed my view =D If you are one of those fans who loves looking at the members interact on stage, you might enjoy watching this X)

MC (Maimi)

12. Endless Love (Mai solo)
Maimai Solo!! Awesome, another solo!! I still don't understand why Chissa and Maimai doesn't get much lines in general. They are both such good singers! Such a waste...

13. Kimi no Senpou (Saki, Chisato, Mai)

Another one of my favourite song I've been wanting to watch!!! If you are a Nakky fan like me, this song is a MUST WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!
*click*

14. Aa Koi (Airi solo)
Airi~! X) I might sound old here, but she has grown so much as a singer and as a person =D She has this female sexiness? aura in this performance that she didn't have back then when she sang "Tsuugaku Vector". Nice.

15. EVERYDAY Zekkouchou!!
Flag performance!! Dunno, I think I prefer tap dancing performance, but ºC-ute has so many skills now! Impressive.
*click*

MC (Airi)

16. Aishiteru Aishiteru (Saki solo)
Nakky~~~! X) Sooollooo~~! yay! If you are a Nakky fan, better watch this.... but go back and watch 'Kimi no Senpou' again ;) haha

17. FOREVER LOVE

Aaa! It's hard to get used to their new member colours! Airi in Pink is just... wrong.... X( I hope they don't ever change her colour in Buono!....

18. JUMP
Jump! Jump! Jump! Jump!

19. SHINES

I'm starting to reeeaally like this song! I love the atmosphere where everyone waves their towels, and perform as ONE. It's sooo cool! I wish I was at the concert..

20. Seishun Song
Still not my favourite.... song....

ENCORE

21. Campus Life ~Umarete Kite Yokatta~
New single!! but not anymore... lol It's getting a bit too old for me now =I

MC

22. Tokaikko Junjou
Still love this song =) Nice dance performance!

23. Yume ga Aru Kara
Final number! Great choice to sing at the end. It leaves us a relaxing, and warm feeling at the end X)

Bye!

Woa, I haven't seen them do the "ºC-ute deshita~" pose in so long! oh yea, and the 'bye bye' bit seemed really short for a long concert...? don't they usually stay on stage for more than like 3 minutes?? I might be wrong though..

---
Overall Impression:
AWESOME! I feel like I might start liking ºC-ute again =D Their singing's got better, great improvement on their dances, and each member's character seems to be stable and stand out more X) I would hate to see a new member join (if they ever do) or see a member go in the future. Because this 5 is a great team =D Now, we just have to actually GO to one of those concerts, right BA? ;)
