This was quite a surprise as ANGERME<\/strong> gave us a major announcement on the opening day (July 16. 2016) of Hello! Project 2016 SUMMER ~Sunshine Parade~ & ~Rainbow Carnival~ concert tour. After Maro’s<\/strong> & Meimei’s<\/strong> graduations the dust has hardly settled as comes this:<\/p>\n

Momona Kasahara<\/strong> is the new girl in ANGERME. She is still 12 years old and was chosen to the group from Hello! Pro Kenshuusei<\/strong>. Momona is from Kanagawa prefecture and has been practicing ballet for 9 years. She says her most favorite music genre is classical. Should we now expect some entrechats from Momona in the upcoming MVs?<\/p>\n

It’s always interesting to see how new girls join to lineups and what kind of role they get. Some ANGERME fans have already stated they don’t like Momona so much. I just want to say “gimme a break”. She has just a moment ago joined the group and she is still only 12 years old. When you follow her development so far by looking those live photos I’ve picked up here all I can say is: “Looks quite promising”.<\/p>\n

Wait now, Rikako<\/strong> is not anymore the youngest memeber in ANGERME! Momona turns to 13 on October 22.<\/p>\n
