Didn't even know they were having auditions again. Seems like they went with fresh outside girls instead of reaching into the KKS pool which I'm cool with. The 1st girl looks a bit like Rio. Lets see if they have some vocal ability, IMO they still haven't really replaced Maa-chan and now Fukuhime is leaving and Oda can't be that far away either
Some wotas found old showroom audition videos of Inoue as she auditioned for NMB48 (and AKB48?) before but failed to pass. Sorry I don't have any links to the vids.
They started the audition last year in September. So most fans were eagerly waiting for some news, me too
There was an announcement made last year between Sept '22 and Oct '22 where they had this special audition. Another member that might graduate soon is Ikuta, the golfer, who is from the same gen with Fukumura-san. I might see her turning pro or maybe an instructor in golf, if she decides to grad. Ikuta has been very active in TV golf channel.
Yeah Eripon and Ayumin are prime candidates to leave soon as well, but though I love them as idols they wont leave much of a vocal hole like Maa-chan did and Fukumura/Oda will. Even though it seems to be H!P's future plan, Rio can't sing everything by herself

An event commemorating the release of Maria Makino's latest photo book "Dear MARIA" (Crocodile Books) was held at SHIBUYA TSUTAYA in Tokyo in 2023. A press conference was held before the event. For the first time in three years, the film will be filmed entirely overseas. This was Makino's second shoot in Guam, six years after her photo book "Maria 17". The theme is "Girlfriend". From deep blue seas and white sandy beaches, to resort hotel pools and cafes, cycling, amusement parks at night, and spending time in your room from the moment you wake up, everyone who sees you in any situation will think, "Wouldn't it be fun if I had a girlfriend like this?" There are plenty of cuts that make you feel like …”. At the press conference, Makino appeared in a long dress with transparent legs. She talked about her photo book along with memories of "2023 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC" (WBC), "The day I took the photo was just the day of the WBC semi-finals and finals." if the video does not show watch the video here if the video does not show watch the video here if the video does not show watch the video here
