With Konno Asami having graduated a week ago, and Ogawa Makoto graduating later this month, the group will soon be down to just 8 girls, the lowest number since Goto_Maki joined in 1999. The auditions, to be known as "Happy８期 (Happy Hachi ki)" start on the 27th of August, with the first round auditions taking place all over Japan until the 22nd of October.
