MMmonth: 13th generation

Afbeelding
Not even a year ago, a new generation was introduced to us! Morning Musume '16 had been searching for their 13th generation since January 2016. Let's get back into the history of one of our newest generations! After the graduation of Sayashi Riho, Morning Musume opened up new auditions and searched for new members. Yet in May it was announced that there were no winners and that the auditions would be opened again.  However, on the 23th of november it was announced that again no winners were found through the auditions and winners would be picked from the Hello!pro kenshuusei. This led to a lot of speculation about who would be winning and how many girls would be joining Morning Musume.  On the 12th of december we got the results: Name: Kaga Kaede Nickname: Kaedii Birthday: November 30, 1999 From: Tokyo Age: 17 Color: Italian Red Was a Hello!Pro Kenshuusei since 2012 Name: Yokoyama Reina  Nickname: Yokoyan Birthday:Febuary 10, 2001 ...

Let's talk 10th generation! Just a few days ago, Morning Musume's 10th generation celebrated their 6th anniversary. They are the generation that has currently stayed togheter for the longest of all generations. Let's take a step back into history! Morning Musume announced they would be looking for their 10th generation members in the spring of 2011. They had just gained 4 new members at the beginning of that year through the 9th generation auditions and leader Takahashi Ai had announced her graduation for that fall. Morning Musume 10ki member "Genki Jirushi" auditions closed their applications in July of that year and it was announced that girls who auditioned could also audition for S/mileage, yet they could only join one group.  Quite a lot of, now, well known names participated in the third round of the audition: Miyazaki Yuka, Hamaura Ayano, Taguchi Natsumi, Fuji Rio, Ogawa Rena and Makino Maria, to name a few.  Only 10 girls were choosen ...

Juice=Juice in Dortmund

Sunday I finally went to the Juice=Juice world tour concert in Dortmund. It was so amazing, I have so much to talk about! Before  As I am from the Netherlands, my brother and I planned to go by train. It would take us about 4 hours to get there, but oh well. We took about two trains in the Netherlands and two in Germany. The trips was actually fine. It didn't feel like a long trip and Germany is just so beautiful. There is so much to see! In Dortmund, it was pretty busy as there also was something with soccer. Our hotel was really close to the station. It was really big and pretty, which made me wonder if we were at the right hotel. It was the right hotel, so we checked in and got our stuff togheter. We were on the top floor and had a few of the building next to us. We could almost see the FZW from our room! We got our stuff and our tickets and went out to eat. Ofcourse we went to McDonalds' and got some delicious chicken wings. Guys, we don't have these in...
