9th Generation Auditions

First off, BOO~
Make the limit 20, or even 19! Gone and ruined my chance, just by a year XD
(I'm 18 1/2, now)



OKAY!
Erin, Jun, and Lin are graduating.

Fear my editing prowess of loserville!! (Erin gets a different cap 'cause she's not a foreign exchange member)


This leaves Aichan, Niigaki, Sayumin, Reina, and Mittsi:


Personally, I see this as a great loss for Momusu. No, not because Lin's leaving (She's my favourite H!P member), but because this leaves three members that aren't that good at singing.
Aichan and Niigaki have the singing prowess to help keep Momusu stable. However, Reina ruins it with her personality-instead-of-skill voice [a lot, in concerts] while Sayumin and Mittsi are still in need of improvement.
Mittsi just needs more experience and some strengthening, while Sayumin needs major strengthening and departure from her overuse of her signature singing.

In all truth, I would've preferred Aichan and Niigaki to leave instead of Erin, Jun, and Lin. But since Erin's doing it for her health, I'd still let her leave. I would prefer to have Jun and Lin remain. Why?
In my mind, I was waiting for Aichan and Niigaki to graduate! They have a large fanbase and great vocals, so they could easily do well outside of Momusu. Jun and Lin don't have that (Lin has the voice, Jun needs some more training), and they will have to work even harder to get a much larger Chinese fanbase.
That, and I selfishly wanted Lin to stay longer and didn't think of anyone other than Aichan and Niigaki to leave~ XD


So, in case anyone's still reading: It was bound for Jun and Lin to return to China. They're the "foreign exchange members" and, like all foreign exchange programmes, they have to return sometime. In this case, three-or-whatever years. Be grateful for that!

Now, about the Auditions for Gen. 9:
YAY!

This will let people shut up about there never being any auditions after so many years, as well as letting me [and other fans that came after Gen 8 was mostly adjusted; Mikan, for me] experience the main characteristic of Momusu: Generations.

I've seen the generations come-and-go only because of Singles and some concerts. I never got to experience any newbies being introduced in the moment, and only saw Koha (and Erika from 'C-ute) graduate. Now, I'll get the chance to see a fresh face-or-two that will hopefully be able to sing and has a fresh personality! And despite being depressed for Lin to be leaving, at least this lets Momusu not remain as I would hate it to~
I'm also hoping that other than the Audition Winners, Tsunku will be really generous and let an EGG-or-two get to join the generation! Not likely, but it'd be really touching to see that he's not a waste.

Ah, but I'm still annoyed that the limit to audition is 10-17. I'm 18.5, so my hopes for even auditioning for Momusu died. However, there's no actual limit for EGGS, though it's supposedly around 25. If I train my vocals, Japanese, and lose some weight... I'll have a chance <3
As long as there's no limit or race-requirement. I'll give up on ever being a member of H!P (EGGS), by 24-25 <3>

Pure Mistress

See, fear the horror of my former skills:
http://www.drunkduck.com/Pure_Mistress/index.php?p=137715 (there's about eight pages)
And I'm serious about the horror =_=;;


ANYWAYS!
Totally thinking of re-starting it~
True, I've yet to finish writing my one story (the one with Ade and Pepper; the previous post, if the names are that unfamiliar to your mind). However, it's written whenever I feel like it, so I'm not going to bother with it too much. If I do, I fear I'll force an ending; forced-endings are rather annoying and tend to fail at life. So, to be quick, I'm not that "Need finish NAO" for it. Another great reason for it to not have been posted online as I go. Well, it's not really set-up in proper format yet, so that's also another thing to do XD
(I do have to force myself to working on Pepper's part, seeing as how she's the main protagonist and I've written such little starring her!)

In my remake (for a bit of it, it's a "remake", but most of it is totally unknown to others), there will be slight character adjustments. Designs is the main focus of the changes. There will be some more background and personality adjustments, in order to retain a sense of realism. Oh, and since I could only remember Claire and Leah's name[s], I went and renamed the other characters; they weren't near being introduced, in what I had completed, so it's okay. That, and my olde-characters tend to be very "thin", in terms of character/personality! I think I'll have to work harder, to write for characters... as there are some slight psychological disturbances in a few; anti-social, mind-controlled, etc. XD
Eventually, I'll begin designing everyone~ Yet, I feel I should work on establishing their characters prior to that. As well as getting the story completed. Based on my recollection of what I planned to have happen, it should be relatively easy. At least, once I am positive of what's to happen (it'd be something that has few fillers and might be the length of one-or-three volumes-worth)!
No, seriously. The story's meant to be quick, disregarding as many fillers as possible! Sure, I might include silly mini-comics, omake, etc., but the main story's progression is key. It's also good, since it's not something made to last. Small cast, author's lack of intelligence/imagination, and the rather easy loss of will. Basically, it might confuse people with its pace, but I hope it'll be worth it!


Now...
That's pretty much it XD
At least, 'til I have most of it finished (script and-or comic).

ALSO! 'Comic' is so much easier to say, than "manga" (especially when pronounced correctly). That's why I refer to it as 'comic' and 'webcomic' (which will be the case, once it's being uploaded online). I refer to 'manga' as either Japanese or Japanese-influenced comics. Comics are 'comics', especially since they're what influenced the common style of manga. (I use an olde term!) XD
For the n00bs in Japanese-love, it doesn't freakin' matter its name. It's not like anime (which can be pronounced several ways, since it's a French-or-whatever word for 'animation'), where the content is what determines its classification! Anime is animated series where there is a plot that is followed through until the ende. Cartoons are pretty much animated sitcoms (where there's some sort of set-up, but no definite ending or goal actually exists or is fully followed through). And all nations of the world [that animate] have created both anime and cartoons. I only use the classification of 'anime' and 'cartoon' in order to separate the two, though there might be an actual classification title for animation. A good example would be 'Hayate no Gotoku' ('Hayate the Combat Butler'), as its entire animated-version--both seasons--has barely a plot. Its manga, however, gains one that only recently completed. XD
