[Tyzer]

OMG~!! Zukkini is so cute
Are they trying to make nines out of there hands?
How adorable

[pastil]

omg that newspaper photo. I thought she was Mano-chan!

[Sunday Morning]

Ah, the newspaper pic is so cool! x)

Sayu said in her blog they should do the 9th Gen pose ... and then they made a 9 symbol with their hands!
She was also nervous to ask the 9th Gen for a photo so her manager came with her lolol

It's cool to see that we're becoming more and more pics from the 9th Gen
And it's nice that they're calling them already by their official nicknames

[DGmaimai]

How said in her profile??

[Haruna Ogata (Real)]

Zucchini is Aichi's star of hope?! Yay!
The newspaper article looks so cool. Support from prefecture for the win!

And a picture with my Sayumi~ how cute!

Nichiyobi:
I think Sayumi's lying.
In reality her manager came with her because she feared what would happen if the girls were alone with Sayu.
I love bonding like this though. I want to see more Zucchini with the other girls!

Omg, now that you're mention it ...

Zukki is sooo cute

the photo with the "nine" simbol is so funny

wait for official photos >.<

[zam（仮）]

Is Zukki the first Momusu from Aichi prefecture?

Nice pics of 9th gen from Sayu

@pastil
Now that you mentioned it, Zukki in that newspaper clipping does look like Mano

[Esty]

^ Yes, she Is, I think. When Naichau Kamo released, at Music Fighter there was a quiz battle, and there was a question: "Whick administrative prefecture is the birthplace for most past and current members?". Aoki-san (one of the hosts) replied Aichi and Sayu said, that there's not a single person from there. (The correct answer was Hokkaido)
Now we have a girl from Aichi too.

[Paladar]

I was wondering, did they announce who was Zukki's senpai or not yet? I'm pretty curious to know who will have to take care of her

[iheartmomusu]

^They haven't announced anything like that as of late, but I seriously hope they make Gaki-san her mentor!

What does the newspaper say about her profile? I don't think UFA has released anything official about Zukki so I'm kinda curious.

She looks very cute in the blog pics! I wouldn't think Sayu would be nervous about approaching them since she's the senpai and all Sayu, shy? Lol.

From Aika's blog:

...
Also, I now have kouhais ~ ☆
And again this time it doesn’t seem like there will be anyone to train them officially ♪
so I hope we can all become friends as soon as possible (*^-’)
...

I don't know if this lines indicating that there wont be a one to one mentor system.. But I think it's interesting to read.

[DGmaimai]

No mentor so...waited for the official photos

[zam（仮）]

@Esty
Thank you for answering my question.

@claneksi
What Mitsi says is partly correct. Someone asked Sayu about the mentoring duty on her radio show. Sayu answered that the members had planned to let Mitsi become a mentor if they had only one new member. But since they have 4 new members, they had to drop that idea. So what Mitsi said, on her part was true. Unofficially, Sayu said it was decided that the rokkies would take responsibility to train the 9th gen. That kinda make one wonder if that decision was made becoz Gakisan won't be around that much longer. So they decide to let the rokkies make a stronger bond with the 9th gen. All those things about Gakisan is just my speculation, so don't take it to seriously.

Since the article wasn't that long, I translated it~

Suzuki Kanon, 12 years old, new musume.
Big announcement in her hometown Nagoya

One of the 9th generation members of idol group Morning Musume (MoMusume), born in Aichi prefecture, Suzuki Kanon (12) attended on the 15th, Hello! Project's artist live event "Kangei Shisen Matsuri" held in Chukyo University and Cultural Center in Nagoya. She did the big annoucement with a slightly anxious expression: "I'm 12 years old, I'm in 6th grade of primary school. Please treat me well", she introduced herself, decorating her debut in her home town.

The first one from the Tokai region of Honshu

Suzuki is the first musume who's born in the Tokai region of Honshu [which includes Aichi, Shizuoka, Mie and southern Gifu prefectures]. She was chosen in the audition that begun on August last year, where there were 9,000 applicants. She was chosen along Fukumura Mizuki (14), Ilkuta Erina (13), Sayashi Riho (12), and they'll start their activities as musume's in the concert that begins on March, and Morning Musume will re-start itself.

Suzuki entered the stage with a yellow tank top and pants of colour kaki. Leader Takahashi Ai (24) said "So Aichi is Zukki's (Suzuki) home town. You must be happy to have a concert on your home town" and Suzuki said "The concert hall is near my house. I'm relieved that I'll be able to return home soon". The 1,700 fans gathered there cheered her "do your best!".

Loves beef ribs

She got appreciation from Tsunku, who said that Suzuki has an energetic smile. She's part of the soft ball club in her school. In the marathon tournament of grades 3 to 5, she achieved 3rd place, and in the tournament for grade 6, she got 5th place. She is sports-oriented (she has a mind for sports). When she won, she went with her family to eat beef ribs (karubi) and cows' offal (horumon) in her favourite yakiniku store, which made her full.

At the event, a total of five groups performed, they were MoMusume, Berryz Koubou, C-ute, Mano Erina (19) and S/mileage. Takahashi Ai, who's graduating on this spring, said "I want to lead the new members into the group", and then she bowed. The fans were sobbing.

There's an event today too

On the same day, a second show was held at night, and a total of 3,400 persons were fascinated [by the concert/H!P/MM]. There's an event on the 16th as well.

Announcement of a new energetic song: S/mileage

Unit S/mileage, winner of New Artist Prize in the 52th Record Awards last year, will release a new song called "Shortcut" on January 9th. They appear with mini skirts, and sing an energetic song that talks about a maid who has an unrequited love.
