Its too sudden for us too knew Kamei,JunJun,and LinLin graduate from Morning Musume.According to a recent blog entry by Tsunku there will be 9th generation auditions as a result of Kamei, Jun Jun and Lin Lin’s graduation. An official site has been opened shortly after the announcement with more details.
The site features rules and steps to apply for the audition as well as a FAQ with more details about the audition. Among the few details released he does specify that girls auditioning must be between the ages of 10 ~ 17.
It is somewhat of a bittersweet announcement but we finally get a confirmation that there will be 9th generation auditions soon, which should please many fans since it has been quite a few years since the last one (Mitsui’s audition was back in 2006).
Here the translation about Tsunku’s comments about the auditions:
