More recently was the "Suppin Utahime" audition that gave us Sakura, because they needed to replace Aichan.

Sakura Was an absolute godsend. I have never been so proud of a member than I am of Sakura. And Tsunku's reaction to her singing is awesome too. He was just so into it.

That was a bit offtopic.

On topic I am excited :D

Normally I really love new members, but this feels too soon lol. I hope they do the reveal later in the year, giving them time to build up 12gen who (outside of Miki) have kind of fallen flat imo. 12th gen is almost the new 5th gen right now, with one immediate standout and 3 others who are kind of just... there. I hope it doesn't take them 5+ years to blossom too. Adding another gen of nobodies on top of that is just :| maybe we'll luck out and get another fun girl (like Maachan, Tsuji/Kago) or a new ace, but we could also end up with another Koha or Aika (who I both adore now, but their tenures were quite a bumpy road and not quite as fruitful as hoped.)

No, I don't. The point of the "Suppin Utahime" audition was to find a new singing ace to replace Aichan in MM, and that's the audition Sakura actually won.

Of course she joined the Kenshuusei first, through an earlier S/mileage audition, but that was incidental. In fact, I believe they had her in mind for MM all along and simply parked her in the Kenshuusei until the time was right.

Not sure Sakura was meant to be an "ace" though, but her start was hella rocky too since a lot of Wota thought she was ugly.

someone did bring up a good point about 13th gen overshadowing the ALREADY easily overshadowed 12th gen. That's actually not something I thought of, here's hoping 12th gen can really get it together in this next year.

To be expected, although I'm in the "1 or 2 only please" camp. I like having a lot of girls, but also don't want it to get too crowded feeling.

Of course it can be debated whether Sakura has been popular or successful in her appointed role, but that is her role just as that was the purpose of that audition.

Expected this once they announced Riho's graduation. I'd also prefer 1 or 2 members, but I'm not gonna whine if they add more than that. :lol:
