I finally have time to post this..

Yesterday (3/5) was the public audition for the Second Class of 
Kira Kira Melody Gakuen.  There were 104 girls trying out for
the 50 (or so) slots.  I don't know how many girls applied in total,
but they had narrowed it down to these 104.  I heard that there
were around 20 or so minor idols or net idols or cosplayers in
this group.  Some of them I could tell, others I couldn't tell if
they were these girls or just ordinary girls.
Overall, they were not as cute as the First Class Kira Melo girls.

Anyway, right before they announced the 50 girls, the president of
Myras said that there were complaints by the radio staff about how
bad the First Class students were at voice work.   So this time,
they will choose on ability rather than just looks..

Among the 104 girls, there were three who I thought was pretty cute.
Two of them made it.  But I don't think any of these new girls will
be moving into my top lists anytime soon.  Of course looking back
at some of the Kira Melo girls from March of last year, many of
them did look pretty awful, so things can change in a year.

The event (audition) went quicker than planned.  Everything ran smoothly.
The schedule was as follows.

11:00   enter
       (I got there at 10:00 and I was number 106.  It was a small hall,
        with half the seats taken up by staff and the auditioners,
        so they only limited it to 150 fans..  I saw many people I had
        never seen before.  I think they were fans of the minor idols
        who were auditioning.  But luckily I found a seat at the edge of
        the second row on the second floor.  All the first floor seats
        were way in the back, so the second floor was better.)
11:30 - 12:00  Kira Melo live part 1
12:30 - 14:30  audition (first half)
15:10 - 15:30  Kira Melo live part 2
15:30 - 18:00  audition (second half)
18:30 - 19:00  Kira Melo live part 3
19:00 - 19:20  announcement

The emcees for the live portion were Mieko and Miri.

The live portions were:
part 1
  all girls      Theme song
  all girls      Kouka (school song)
  Sawai Natsumi  Stay With Me (Ai and Mayo as back dancers)
  Sawai Natsumi  Touch
  Heart Chu      Tururu Daishouri
                 (Heart Chu had a new outfit!
                  Mieko is orange.. forgot others already.. (;_;))
  all girls      Daisuki

part 2
  Mieko and Miri came out wearing the new school uniforms!
  The first class students have blue (but not bright blue) and
  the second class students have olive green.  The skirt is longer
  than before, and the style is a jumper skirt junior high style,
  very similar to Evangelion (shoulder straps are wider).
  Mieko had her hair in a pony tail..  (don't like this style)

  Itou Emiko     Viva!  Onnanoko Doumei
                 (Miri, Nobuko, Ikue, Sara as back dancers with pompoms!)
  Melo Melo Melon  Meguru Kisetsu
  all girls      Odoru Houkago

part 3
  Mieko came out with two pony tails out the sides again.. (TOO CUTE!)

  Tokunaga Ai    a new song (forgot name)
  Muteki Palette  Say-U
              (Chiyomi, Mae, Sara, Noriko, Chizuko, Sora, Rika, Naoko, Mieko)
  Dear Me        Stormy Dune
  Heart Chu      Kira Kira
  all girls      Daisuki

The audition for each girl was about 2 minutes.  They had to do the
following three things.

 1) self introduction/promotion (30 seconds max)
 2) read some lines from the Kira Melo drama script
 3) sing the first part of Daisuki

80% of the girls couldn't sing correctly..  which is perfectly
understandable as they probably hadn't heard it before.
They probably heard it for the first time during the live right
before their audition.

I wonder if they will auction off the old Kira Melo uniforms..
that will make more money than the game, anime, CDs, etc.. (^_^;;)
Some of the guys started yelling out amounts when Mieko and Miri
came out on the stage with the new uniforms.
