Morning Musume ’16 13th Generation Announced At Budokan

After much anticipation, and many failed auditions, we finally got our long-awaited 13th generation Morning Musume ’16 girls. During the Budokan concert that should be closing out now, they finally made the announcement! 

Yokoyama Reina

First to get announced was Yokoyama Reina, who just joined Hello Pro Kenshuusei (Hello! Project’s trainee branch) a few months ago in September.

Kaga Kaede

Our second 13th generation member who was announced is Kaga Kaede, who has been working extra hard as a Hello Pro Kenshuusei since November 2012.

It’s always exciting when Morning Musume ’16 gets new members, and we’re all looking forward to them adding their charms and talents to the group! Let’s cheer them on!
