2 more girls in 8th gen!
And they're Chinese! Story at Hello!Online
To quote:
At the same time as the 8th gen auditions in Japan, there was another audition in Beijing, China. The result of that was Linlin. Jujnun was recommended to Tsunku by a friend and joined the H!P eggs. After seeing her perform at concerts, he was impressed by her abilities. Tsunku says that these two will be key for their planned expansion into Asia for their 10th anniversary year.
Junjun and Linlin will be considered part of 8th Gen along with Mitsui Aika. While Aika was chosen for her singing abilities, these two impressed Tsunku with their experience on the piano and other instruments.
No wonder Tsunku only picked one girl from those auditions, he had two more on the sly. Wow! This is completely shocking isn't it? I guess that was a little wink he was giving us after Aika's acceptance with the conquering Asia speech. I thought he meant the 10th Anniversary single and was like, Well that wasn't much of a campaign. Little did I know!
I will reserve judgement until I see them in action. The man's been Oh so Right before, so I'll have faith. But still. WOW!

Truly outstanding move by Tsunku that moves his company ever upward. The Chinese market is staggering and I can already imagine Morning Musume in major arenas in Shanghai and Beijing even as the 2008 Olympics arrive. Masterful.
