Morning Musume's 10 Generation final audition

Thanks to HiO for finding this HelloProTime being uploaded to YouTube. Frankly I just don't have the time/will to search the web anymore for lastest/current content, but enough about my lazyiness 8)>

So lets just start right off with said footage before giving my opinion(s).

Part 1/2

Part 2/2

The members that stood out for me or at least the ones I'd like to see become the 10th Generation are Ishida Ayumi, Kudo Haruka, Tanaka Fuuka & lastly Murakami Sara.

Ishida Ayumi stood out as the best dancer though Miyagi Ayumi wasn't to far behind. Unfortunately for Miyagi the editor / producer of this documentary largely ignored her so I can't judge her signing for it wasn't featured. Murakami Sara I liked for her signing. No one can replace Ai-chan of course, but this time around I think Tsunku-san is going to place more emphasis on such.

And who do I find best of show/class well the adorable Kudo Haruka. With out a doubt a "shoe in". Was impressed being so young ( though nothing like Sayashi Riho ) her ability at dancing & I'm starting to fall in love with her voice. Of course we'll ALL have to wait & see whom is chossen. However lets not forget that during the S/Mileage auditions a lot of us was cheering for Miyamoto Karin & were DISAPOINTED to say the least that she passed up. Some of us are hoping she'll be a surprise last minute addition to Momusu. The thought of both her & Kudo Haruka together look to be an irresistible pair.

I'm hoping we won't have to face another Sub-member crap routine for MM as was done with S/M. To me if you pass you pass. This Sub-member crud is nothing more then a Public Relations stunt to keep the peoples interest for as long as possible before the fan base drops back down to it's core die hard followers, but that obviously is just my point of view.

Lastly it's going to be bitter sweet this coming 29th see'ing Ai-chan leaving as we discover whom shall be the 10th Generation. 

After watching the English translated version of the audition I was surprised Tsunku-san is thinking about adding all of them at first til he mentioned he'd most likely reduce thier numbers. So I came up with two catagories.

Those I feel are in beyond all reasonable doubt are:
Ishida Ayumi & Murkami Sara

The rest I feel have a 50 / 50% chance.
Kudo Haruka, Ohgami Hinako, Miyagi Ayumi & Tanaka Fuuka

Any others not mentioned I feel have no chance unless Tsunku-san changes his mine & just adds everybody. 

Japan still needs help

Hello all. I've been quite busy of late. Got a new job & have just recently completed the pre-employment trainning for it. Now the new challenge of putting that trainning to use, learning the job hands on & proving my worth. And to think it all starts tonight *UGH! Pulls out hair*

Anyway enough of my mundane life for that's not what few people who read this blog are interested in. As the title implies Japans people are still in great need of aid for the long term. I don't know how well some have been following the events since the disaster ( in which marked its 6 month anniversary today ) and things are not going well for the people as they have essentially been betrayed by the Government. The following article will help to get you caught up: Fukushima  .

Most of us have all ready donated and/or support the people of Japan in our own way. I am merely asking you to consider this option. Some who know Nakamura Hiroko or better know her as/from HIROKOCHANNEL she recently posted a means to give aid to the children. Please read her article & consider her request: Children of Fukushima .

Thank you for your time.
