About seven hours ago the first of two Bijou Gaku Morning Musume 9th Generation Audition Special aired on TV Tokyo. This was something that I was really looking forward to, almost as much as the graduation concert itself. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait at least another week for some sort of closure to the auditions. Continue reading to see why.
The boss man himself. I think the text says something about the members being careless.
A look at Tsunku's desk. Could those pictures down there be the finalists?
A room full of aspiring auditioners.
Three random girls before they go before the judges.
Cool skirt.
Could've sworn I saw this girl somewhere before
She looks cute from far away
Half-way through, we are shown five girls which could very well be the finalists.
I kinda hope that these aren't the only finalists. Needs more eggs
A look back at the 5th Gen audtion. Gakisaaaaan!
And Aichan <3
Definitely my favorite of the five. In this scene she sang Aitai Lonely Christmas (and forgot the lyrics).
Training in the gym
proves to be a bit much for this contestant. Poor thing.
But she is able to find comfort with another audtioner.
In the final scene, three of the girls are shown
being emotional.
So then, who are the 9th Generation members? Tune into next week to find out!
I took a lot of screencaps, but this whole thing only lasted four minutes of the total twenty-five minutes that Bijou Gaku is on for. Talk about a major letdown.
Now, I didn't exactly expect them to announce the winners this week. I was anticipating a 15-20 minute look into the whole process and a little time to get to know some of the girls and have the episode end with a cliffhanger.
But instead, the first six minutes were of yesterday's graduation concert, and a bunch of stuff most fans already knew. Only four minutes was of new footage (see the above screenshots) and we learned almost nothing about the audition participants. The rest of the time was spent doing some Manoeri palm reading, and with S/mileage eating.
Oh well, at least this means next week will be pretty awesome (fingers crossed).
Thanks! Of course! They want you to tune in next week.
ReplyDeleteI'm rooting for that girl that sang aitai lonely Christmas as well.
