That's unfortunate, they were pretty cute/entertaining. Maybe they'll try again in the future.

Quick question, when they showed Hashimoto Momoko's profile on the show, it always said she went to a special (?) kind of middle school. Does anyone know how (or if) it's different from just a plain old middle school?

^ They're talking about her figure. Her height to head ratio is 8.

Nettai Danshi cast comment : Yaeko (Kubota Nanami) and Etsuko (Kanemitsu Ruru)

Ichioka, Takase, Kiyono new Hello! Project group member auditions :

Hello! Project will hold auditions again, but this time to select new H!P members for the two new Hello! Project groups : Ichioka Reina's lead group and Takase Kurumi, and Kiyono Momohime's "theater troupe" group. This audition will be a little bit different from previous auditions. Previously they were just looking for "I love singing, dancing, and Hello! Project", but now they are also looking for "I have a special skill and talent that I can brag about and won't lose to anyone else." There is also possibility that Kenshuusei could be selected for the new groups. Applications will be announced in April.

Looks like these auditions won't drag on for too long because they want to begin activities in Summer.

People should be happy they're taking public applicants for brand new groups, espcially since none of the 2018 Audition girls passed in the end (I'm happy they're doing it, I've talked on and off privately about wanting auditions for a totally new group over the past couple of years, and this is certainly good enough for me.) I wonder how the differing basic requirements will change things, and how much footage we'll get from these. Since it seems like they'll move quickly, maybe they can livestream them again. (Probably not.)
