Fourth screening completed. Those moving to the next will be notified.

They never gave us an update on the third round, and usually there are only four - so I'm wondering if 4 here is a typo or if they're doing an extra round.

That's weird. Maybe final round is figuring out which girl gets to go to Angerme, and which girl(s) go to the new unit, and KSS? Regardless I feel like we might have to wait until the new year to know the final results at this rate...

Fan reports from ANGERME's Christmas FC event say they announced that the new members (presumably from the audition) have been decided and will be introduced at the ANGERME end of year concert premium on 12/30.

Oh wow!!! Nice way of hyping it up!
Wonder how much members will join...? 2?

[Nayok-Kihara]

My guess is 1-2. Maybe another Kenshuusei chosen for debut if it ends being 2 (or more. )

Haha yes defnitley!! Would Love to see more KSS getting a debut

Currently there are 9 members in Angerme, I think maximum 3 new members (2 audition winners and 1 KSS) to hit 12 and to allow graduations in the near future.

I can see Akari, Rikako and likely Moe graduating in the next 1-2 years (considering the latter 2 have many individual engagements which could translate to their solo activities post-graduation).

I am pretty sure they will have Ayano to stay put till she hits 25 at least (assuming nothing life-changing happens during the next few years), so the sub-leader who takes over her when she becomes the leader will have sufficient time to gain leadership experience.

I feel like Angerme always adds new members before the newbies get their chance to shine. I love seeing new members, but Angerme needs to calm down. You just added three new girls.

This weeks episode of "Harodori" (here) includes a little audition footage for Tsutsui Roco and Tashiro Sumire, footage of them being told they passed and would join the new group, and footage of them properly meeting the OCHA NORMA members after the public announcements were made.

 

- Roco's audition number was #177.

- Sumire's audition number was #150.

It doesn't help that their members keep graduating within such short span of time. I mean from 2019 to now, they have lost a total of 7 girls (Ayaka, Rina, Kana, Haruka, Mizuki, Musubu and Momona).

When you compare to other groups within the same period, MM lost 1, J=J lost 5 (though this is pretty bad) and Tsubaki lost 1. And the number of girls lost in Angerme are equal to those who left from the 3 groups combined.

Yeah there is a big flux of members leaving Angerme during these years. Even if the manager adds 5 new members (Layla, Hashirin, Narin, Shionu, Wakana), there's still a net loss of 2 members. Furthermore, just like midnightbottle mentioned, the manager has to assume that Take-chan, Rikako and Kamiko are going to leave in the near future (IMO, the manager will try really hard to keep Kawamuu in order to mentor new members). Therefore, Angerme cannot calm down at this moment
