    I must admit ... 78 is really Visual core based ... lol looking at them reminds me of when playing games at the beginning, you start allocate what stats your chara will be .... she must had pumped more towards visual

    So it's my first time watching for the auditionees.

    Just took a peek on some SRs then stayed on No. 6

    If anyone have a list of their names please :cute:

    ^ their names are unknown since it is still only auditions stage. they use nicknames that are usually just a derivatives of their numbers

    here is the info on some of the members (sorry, I won't translate it)

    since there is almost no activity in rooms of candidates that do only audio streams, so another 3 girls revealed their faces today - #46, 57, 77!
    #57 is considered one of the outstanding talents since she was pretty popular in recent SKE 9th gen auditions (#22 back then). I think she passed SKE auditions, but then declined, because of disagreement with parents(?). before she explained it, she was considered a traitor by some SKE fans, so there is
    some drama here)) she is also a good singer.
    looks like #77 is pretty popular as well.

    another fan (and my) favorite is #53 - very good looking and a good dancer.

    #14 shameless fishing with her huge boobs remind me of that girl from recent AKB draft (Moeka?) ^^;

    #93 is probably a younger sister of Hatsuka Utada (team 8)

    After the SR of 6, I stayed on 78's. She's really good in talking. Can speak a few Korean and Chinese words. Greeted some fans from Taiwan and Korea.

    Nickname of 6 is むぅ (Muu) while 78 is ももは (Momoha) reading from the board behind her.

    By the way, did the management said already how many members there will be for the sister group?

    after watching some rooms, I managed to watch #78, #60, #57, #77, #65, #40, #13, #49, and #59

    I think they have potential, especially #59 for her knowledge of language, #57 for her singing ability, #13 for her machine gun talk, and #40 for her effort to speak English [hehe]

    edit: oh don't forget #78 for her frequent hand-that-closes-mouth pose --> [hehe] :hehe:

    so far 78 (nanaha) and 60 (okemaru) are the most popular in this audition, both can reach more than 20k viewers in the first day stream and around 15k viewers in 2nd and 3rd day

    Are the girls going to be picked based on popularity/fans or does a management decide?

    ^ Sasshi decides, SR rankings probably don't mean much since majority of candidates will pass even without streaming (or only with audio streams).
    however, Nonno was 1st in =LOVE SR audition ranking. doesn't mean that her rank was a deciding factor though.

    that's it, =LOVE's sister group SR audition has ended today. the only thing that is left is the final examination on 1/26.
    it is still unknown when new members will be introduced to public though.

    candidates that I want to be chosen:

    #53 - this girl is a must have. I'll be shocked if she's not chosen. she has everything: great looks and figure, young age, fine skills (9 years of dance experience) and sweet personality.
    #57 - like 53, another high-spec all-rounder. her only con is her age (19). which might be fine if her position will be of a leader/older sister.
    #12 - interesting and unusual kid. 14 years old, but likes idols from 70-80's. very serious, old-fashioned and well-mannered. she's probably an ojousan from rich family. a mix of Kiara and Shoko.
    #42 - personal bias. she was completely under 5ch radar and there is probably 99% chance that she won't pass, but I really liked her showroom talk, it might be the funniest among all candidates. with all the teasing, inside jokes, and oogiri games it reminded me of early Nakai Rika's showrooms, which is pretty high in my books))

    other candidates with high chances:

    #78, #60 - 1st and 2nd in SR ranking with great lead, reaching 10k viewers per stream, and one of the most discussed girls on 5ch. both have outstanding characteristics: #78 looks and #60 singing, but they both are kinda too short (#78 - 144cm!, #60 -151cm) and too professional (#78 already smells of scandal ^^; ), probably not Sasshi's type, so I doubt they'll be chosen, unless they have some kind of agreement with Showroom to take those candidates who ranked in SR top.


    PS:
    overall, the level of candidates is very high. even among those who showed their faces (1/3) there are probably another ~20 girls that could be accepted on looks alone. and it looks like that there are even more hidden gems among the other 2/3 of candidates, so it's going to be a bloodbath in the final round, and it's going to be a nightmare for Sasshi ^^; I won't be surprised if sister group will have more members than =LOVE or that we'll get 2 sister groups in the end [hehe]

    I actually just got into the group recently and they are so cute! Plus the music too. I don’t have a favorite yet which is to be determined.

    I also been following up on the sister group SR section and I’m rooting for #12 - Junnichan to get in!

    the auditions for sister group are officially over!
    there was no announcement and press conference after it like it was with =LOVE, so we still don't know who passed, but according to some leaks, here are the candidates who passed (^ sorry, I was writing it too slow)):

    #29, #37 (Tanigaki Kaede, ex-"Sapporo Snow♥Loveits" member), #57, #60 (Sakurai Momo, ex-"Non-sweet" member), #66, #69, #70, #71, #72, #75, #77, #94, #102 (13 in total)

    #29, #66, #70, #75 - audio streams
    #69, #71, #72, #102 - didn't stream

    #78, 1st in SR audition, didn't make the final cut, as expected.
    my favorites #12 and #53 didn't make it too... that is seriously shocking... OTL this is the last time I follow SR auditions! I still remember how my favorite in STU auditions, who I was 200% sure of, didn't pass as well :cry:

    but it's not final yet. official announcement and thanksgiving Showrooms will be held only after candidates will sign contracts. they've learned their lesson with Chuonan Mai :rolleyes:

    looks like the level of candidates was very high and auditions were nerve-wrecking and stressful for Sasshi - she had a nosebleed on =LOVE auditions and this time she had an allergy on her left eye -_-;

    ============

    in addition to Hana, Risa and Nonno, Hitomi and Mirinya (they were shooting for PlatinumFLASH outside yesterday) got a sick leave due to influenza! :fear:
    only 7 members will perform tomorrow at MX Idol Festival Vol.6... :fear:
    I hope Pink Angels, who had a filming outside today, will be okay... :glare:

    =============
    =LOVE ranked 1st in LiveFans Awards 2018 (newcomer category) :1st:

    ^ that's crazy!
    I wonder how will they manage the dance formation with only 6 members?..
    it would be interesting if they'd drop the dance altogether and only sing.

    at least Naatan is still genki))
