Is Angerme going to add the fourth gen soon?

Wait why am I talking already about the 4th gen when 3rd gen isn't even in ANGERME for a year?

Well dear reader: It has been leaked that there are plans for a 4th generation!

 This week it was accidentally announced that Natsuyaki Miyabi will be starting her own group.

Ofcourse she kinda already said this during Green Room, but the site was launched by accident. 

On the site was a weird part where it was talking about ANGERME's 4th gen auditions and not auditions for Miyabi's group. This kinda set of a whole speculation this was happening.

It was also found out that the url for ANGERME auditions was claimed by someone from upfront. 

The same thing happend a few days before it was announced that Uta-chan left. There was a post about Uta and it was removed soon after. It was ofcourse the announcement that she left, but it was post 2 days early! This kinda makes it clear that mistakes might actually be true.

Back to ANGERME. Due to all this the speculations started and to be honest: would it suprise anyone? Yes 3rd gen just joined, but when 9th gen joined, 10th gen was announced shortly after. Sometimes when big names leave (Ai-chan, Maro, Sayu) they feel like their spot needs to be filled with new blood and they are not wrong. 

Really H!P is much more entertaining when members are constantly changing. Members coming, members going, it keeps things intresting and gets H!P in the news. If they should do it as often as they are currently doing? Yes I think this is good. When Sayumi left, the 12th gen just joined and this kept everything intresting. The new single wasn't (just) the first single without Sayumi, it was the first single for the 12th gen. They kinda switch the attention and it works. 

ANGERME hasn't been active long (as ANGERME that is), but Kanon announced her graduation. She leaves quite a big hole, because she is not only a founding member, but also a quite populair member. We all know Ayaka won't be staying for years either, so new members are always fine. The 3rd gen were only kenshuusei, which means they weren't brand new. At first Maho didn't really seem to be able to keep up, but by now she is doing fine and fits in perfectly. 

So a 4th gen is just around the corner. Another point is ofcourse that ANGERME announced war against Morning Musume, their ever changing big sister. So new members are always a smart way to get attention. 

I always like new members. I like supporting them and seeing them grow into idols. Look at Kana, she wasn't good at singing or dancing, she didn't really know how to pose and was pushed into the background of S/mileage. While now she is more in front, singing, dancing and what more. I like seeing that. I love seeing this. So a 4th gen would be alright with me. 

But now that the whole audition leaked, it might not happen, be postponed or just be a general mistake. I mean they could have just already claimed the url for auditions in the far future right?

We will see what happens.
