A batch of pre-Kenshuusei pictures.

She was the stand-out performer of the New Member audition and she matches perfectly the profile of current H!P members with her prior experience. I expect that she could have a quick turnaround and be quickly promoted similarly to Kawamura Ayano.

I'm so glad she could join Kenshuusei! She was my favorite from the audition  With her prior experience I am hoping she will get to debut within HP very soon

[Fall]

I recall expressing at one point during the audition that she is pretty much an amalgamation of every trait that H!P looks for in a member.  I could see her getting a very big push once she debuts.  I'd say that I also expect her to debut quickly, but it wouldn't surprise me if they try to hold onto her for a couple of years in the KSS for a surprise 15th Gen Momusu announcement after they've had plenty of time to groom her for stardom.

Great news. She's pretty, a good performer, and seems to have a slightly awkward presence sometimes. She's already way up near the top of my Kenshuusei list.

[I♥Sayumi]

This girl along with Hashimoto Momoko are my bets, so hopefully she will debut soon and preferably on the same group with Momoko.

From today's Haro Sute

 

[Haro!_Utahime]

she got haircut ! 

[hazuky]

I hate it, but at least she doesn't look like riho/chisaki clone now

[celestia414]

Boo! Why did they cut her hair? It looks awful on her

[IchVermisseDenSommer]

So true.
I like short cuts but this is just wrong.  

[Momomochi]

I don't know if this has been mention but on episode#8 one of the Kenshuusei asked Sayaka and Momoko when their birthdays are. 

Here's a screenshot - Sayaka's birthday is August 31st.

I think her hair look so cute

I thought it suited her very well when I first saw it on haro!sute;;;;

[megumibex]

I think she looks cuter than before and I normally hate short hair.

[Ares13]

I think she look kind of strange to me with the short hair ..
Maybe I haven't get use to it yet ..
Basically I would keep an eye on her in KSS ..
As I said in the audition thread .. she is perfect to me

[Lalalaalala]

I can't see a difference between her long hair and her short hair..... 

[waifusayu]

I just want her to be in Morning Musume.

[Kinjiru]

Very promising and the fact that she has to travel that many hours just for practice shows her dedication. Looking forward to seeing more of her personality.

[oyasumenon]

Indeed. I live up north in Canada and traveling to the city takes about 3 hours, 2 and a half if we’re lucky. So about 5 hours in total as well. It’s exhausting, so I can’t imagine how tired she must be after traveling AND practice. I really like this girl, I like her new haircut as well. Definitely seems worth keeping an eye on.
