H!P Eggs Taiwan Auditions
Hello!Project's first step to world domination Asia expansion has been announced. Hello!Project New Star Audition will be 3 months long as the best girls 6-24 will be picked. And, as usual, Tsunku will be the final judge.
The auditions begin May 24 and will be broadcasted on June 7 (Saturday & Sunday) from 6:30 - 7:30p.m. and will be hosted by Chen Chien-Chou (try saying that 10 times fast).
Sooo... I guess this raises the question to whether H!P will expand to the rest of the world?
As much as I would like them to, its never going to happen in the U.S. People here just don't respect music that isn't English (except for maybe Latino). They'd be like "I don't know what they're saying but I bet its about anime." and since anime fans are on the very bottom of the social ladder, no one really wants to be down there.
But my friend actually did do a project about J-Pop and had Mini Moni playing in the background and people seemed to like it...
