From what I gather she is running for some political office or something?

Good for her. I hope she wins. I believe this is the second ex hello pro member who runs for office.

 "Ichii was discussing to reform child care/child support." That's what i said.

[keaine]

She failed at being elected.

Now that she's had a campaign under her belt, she may be taken more seriously as someone other than just a talento candidate if she runs again in the future.

 Sayaka was in TV Show Shabekuri 007. She meet there a producer she knew in Asayan when she joints Morning Musume.

Former Morning Musume member Ichii Sayaka is holding an idol group audition through the mysta app. She's listed as producer, while OG Hello! Project and AKB48 (among many others) choreographer/dancer Mayumi Natsu will be in charge of dance. Musician, author, and TRY-m-COMPANY entertainment producer Takashi Mizuki is the production representative. The theme song for the audition will be performed by Ichii (at least in part, the artist is listed as "featuring Ichii Sayaka+with d."). Details (as best I could manage) in the spoiler.

im rather curious with the age limit

 

i know 36 is Sayaka's age right now, but is 36 too old for a new idol ?

[Juandalyn]

I guess she's trying to be part of it too, and doesn't want an age gap that is too big.

 

Generally speaking that's interesting, but I don't expect too much from it.

[tsukiname]

I applied and somehow got in. Before joining the audition I asked the official account if foreigners could apply and the answer was yes.

But now that I have to send a video for the next round, I need to "confirm" my account by a phone number (they send a code and that's it) but they don't accept any number from Europe... 

Anyone not from Europe who can help me? I love Sayaka and this is such a nice chance...

[Nayok-Kihara]

You can now see the girls auditioning for Ichii Sayaka's new idol group on mysta. According to the schedule they should be in the primary examination phase.

[TotallyUncool]

For some reason, my first thought when I saw that page was How many of these girls were in last year's Wack auditions? 

At least a few, I suspect.

[mountainoluv]

The other day, Sayaka tweeted a photo of Uno cards and said she was playing it with her kids. I commented on her tweet and she liked my tweet!

[Nayok-Kihara]

Oricon footage from Ichii's group audition. It was streamed on the MySta app. 30 girls are advancing to a training camp.

[TotallyUncool]

Interesting choice of material - The Peace and Beginner!

 The second song Is from Buono?
