Audition NGT48 2nd Generation Auditions Thread

Oh my god I'm so glad Miharu is trying out for NGT after failing last draft

 

I'm glad there are so many members that tried one more time!!

 

One more small update, but it turns out there's an impressive number of ex-3rd Draft members among the NGT auditionees this time. Just to let everyone know, and taking this Twitter thread as a reference, here's a list of who's who.

• #52 was formerly #104 in the 3rd Draft auditions (as expected, took me no time to recognize her among the rest). Unlike the others, she didn't make it to the final round back then, so she didn't have her name revealed nor is there any introduction/performance video on the official AKB channel on Youtube. All the old Showroom videos of her have since been removed from the Internet, also (although I still have some saved on my PC)
• #54 was formerly Draft member #4 (Igarashi Urara)
  
• #55 was formerly Draft member #5 (Ikegaya Chihiro)
  
• #56 was formerly Draft member #30 (Sawami Sakura)
• #57 was formerly Draft member #35 (Suzuki Ayaka)
• #58 was formerly Draft member #37 (Sogabe Yume)
• #59 was formerly Draft member #42 (Nakazato Chinami)
• #60 was formerly Draft member #49 (Hazama Miharu)
• #61 was formerly Draft member #58 (Mashimo Kaho)
• #62 was formerly Draft member #63 (Mimura Hino)

 

There you go!

I was expecting them to announce the members during Rie’s grad, but now it looks like we might get them by May or so.

Glad that many D3 girls are trying again!
I’m sure they’ll make it this time since they want 20 something girls in.

 

haha yeah, I saw April in the OP so I thought they would've already announced it. Would have been surprising to not hold it considering how much hype it usually generates (though I don't enjoy them watching personally).

 

Hoping for Mashimo Kaho and Mimura Hino to make it. I liked them in the draft and was really sad they didn't get drafted anywhere.

 

D2 girls are now seen as very strong group, especially after Ogiyuka's SSK performance. D2 girls are making a place for themselves in their respective groups. Even those that failed D2 but got into a group after are no slouches.

With this precedence, D3 girls have a bit to live up to. I hope they do.

 

Huh? What did I spell wrong?

 

Sorry, fat finger issues on mobile.

 

Don't forget that Ainya, Reinya and Nanako were also part of D2.

 

Didn't forget about them.

 

The 2nd gen will (obviously) be selected by July, since they will participate in AKB's 52nd single HS:

#24 looks pretty. Wonder why she is not popular.

 

24 is rank 7, so she's pretty popular

21 has an alien for her picture, and her favorite member is ogiyuka lol

so far I like 30's voice, no picture of her sadly

 

#24 ranks 14th, not 7th
#62 looks quite similar to Rittan for the eyes and mouth.

Spoiler

Rittan is more pretty though.

 

I think that on showroom the looks are not that important as the personality, cuz let's be honest, no one is gonna stick around to watch a girl talk for 30 min~ 1 hour if she's just pretty. Idk tho, i haven't watched her showroom yet, so i can't say much about her!
So far, i like 31, she's really funny!

 

I'm definitely rooting for #44, she's super cute and sweet!

 

Wasn't able to see a lot of the girls yet, but from what I saw I can say that I like
#44, #52, #23, #61 (Kaho).
These are the girls who could hold me on their stream - and I just switched occasionally to see if there's anything else interesting going on.

I hope I can watch more of the other girls on the weekend ... though it's probably for the better if I won't be able to. At least I won't get attached to too many of them then lol

 

Miichan and Gatanee secretly have a daughter

 

Ugh I haven't been able to watch any of the showrooms because of the time difference, are there any posted anywhere?
