Morning Musume. '17 13th Generation : Kaga Kaede & Yokoyama Reina

[321BreakinOut]

I wonder if this will be a solo generation (or the duo I have been hoping for since Sakura).

I wiiiiiish. Maybe I'm paranoid but it seems like the solo member gen happens every fourth generation 3rd (Maki)-> 7th -> (Koharu) -> 11th (Sakura) -> 15th?!? ?!?

Do they really need another audition so soon!!!

MoMusu is best/optimal at ten members, plus/minus two. 13 was already feeling a bit crowded. So if they really feel that they need more members, I hope it's just one. One and Only one.

12ki didn't need four members, despite the fact I like all those new members.

So, is Tsunku involved in the auditions at all? I assume not.

Huh. I must admit I don't follow group dynamics as much as I used to, but really, do they need more members? When Sayu left, they added four. Now that Sayash's left, can we keep it to a smaller number? I agree with you guys, 1-2 at most, please.

Been whining about this basically ever since we got proper footage of 12th gen.

It's not surprising.
But most importantly

Thank god they're doing this. Now bring in a future ace plz.

[resop2]

Yeah, I think this time around they need the proverbial "Miss Acey Ace in Your Face".

[AyuHikaru]

I'd prefer they don't do the "WE NEED TO FIND ANOTHER ACE STAT" thing. The last time that happened we got Koharu... jury's still out if it was successful (And I loved Koha in MM)

And don't forget that the FIRST time they tried that it it was the Unlucky 7 audition.
