Episode Two: The Audition prt.1
Ah, auditions. When we used to have Hello!Morning or Asayan, or even random specials in relation to Morning Musume, we had these wonderful behind-the-scenes looks at our girls before they were idols, when they were barely able to carry tunes or dance even the simplest dance. Ah, those were the days. This particular audition was quite detailed. Also, it was quite fortunately subbed ( thank you so very much HelloFansubs!!).
So, I bring you, the Gokkie’s audition: Love Audition 21, according to the special we have. Pics galore, so loading may take awhile. I will try to make it worth your time. This audtion occured right after Nakazawa graduated and they were completing their single ‘The Peace’. In this first part, I’ll cover the intro and their first night at training camp.
Episode One: Introduction
I’m getting ambitious, aren’t I? My first “series” was about the insane things Tsunku has done, [hence the name Tsunku's Insanity], or rather the things that I’m blaming him for…because I’m silly and terrible like that. I don’t really take it that seriously, to be honest. But this attempt at a series I will do my best with. I love the fifth generation of Morning Musume. Love them.
For those who don’t know, these members would be (from top to bottom, left to right in picture) Konno Asami, Ogawa Makoto, Niigaki Risa (Mame!!) and Takahashi Ai. They were added in 2001, right after Nakazawa Yuuko, the group’s first leader, graduated. When they were added, Ai was the oldest at 14, Konno and Ogawa were 14 and Mame was the youngest at 13.
