Is there any footage of Reina during the 5th generation audition? I was wondering.

[maxperkins84]

On TV Tokyo at that time there was a program called MUSIX! , the successor of ASAYAN.

 

Morning Musume, still very popular back then, had lots of exposure on MUSIX!. During Love Audition 21 (the 5G audition), there was a segment ("corner" as they say in Japanese) on MUSIX! which showed short updates about the audition's progress. It lagged behind the actual events by a week or two probably because of the time required for editing and production.

 

The update about the 2nd round aired with parts of the picture blurred out. A theory says that it must be Tanaka in there. Just as they were putting the finishing touches on that episode of MUSIX! and moving up to broadcast, she got caught as the finalists assembled at Tokyo station. Before they would head off on the Shinkansen to the camp and final round, the girls were asked to show their medical insurance certificates, and of course her date of birth was there.

 

 

So, is there any footage? The uncensored version was never released, nor leaked. Maybe the raw footage has not been erased and still exists in their archives. But then again, it is TV Tokyo - who lost or threw away Haromoni.

 

On the audition's web page, traces of Tanaka survived for much longer.

 

Spoiler

 

After the audition ended, the page remained unchanged till about halfway into Love Audition 2002 (for the 6G), about a year later. This time Tanaka met all the requirements (and very likely UF had decided in advance that she would pass.) Then some of the fans thought, "Hey, haven't we seen that girl before?" and sure enough there she was on the 5G audition website; causing something of a commotion. After that, the page was finally taken down.

^ lmao the girl under Niigaki looks like Kudo

 

But thanks for sharing! It was nice seeing her so young. (i didn't know she dyed her hair back then)

Wow, I think that's the first time I've seen her in anything related to that audition. Thank you for sharing maxperkins84!

The Ultimate Musume

Reina on the Platinum era "It was a difficult time for growth. Aichan was leader and I often got scolded. Work harder, she said."

 

"But we're all already working hard, and I thought we needed more promotion. We never got billboards at Shibuya or ads at the train stations

 

We're called the Platinum era now, but it's too late. None of us are left. This is Reina's regret. #morningmusume #platinumera

Not many views for "Suugaku Joshi Gakuen" on YouTube. It's got english subs.

Do folks here on H!O know about it?

[namida no iro]

^ I haven't watched it since the original airing, which was a long time ago, but I remember thinking it was funny.

[Chisa no Mark]

^

It's lame-funny but it certainly is funny. Not a lot of belly-laughs but a ton of smiles, especially for an H!P fan.

Lot's of one-shot charas not to be missed if you are a Hello! fan. Some cases where you're delightfully flooded

with a familiar chara, Momochi, for example. Just about everybody's there. It's the new "Koinu Dan no Monogatari"

But now we need a new one, with all the changes in the short time since.
