Tsunku selects next megane idol

Producer Tsunku has just completed his 3rd “meganekko” audition, designed to find the next popular glasses-wearing idol, a la Ami Tokito. The winner this time was 5th-grader Chihira Mochida from the Niigata prefecture, who celebrated her 11th birthday on the same day as the final selection. She was chosen from about 1,800 applicants.

As part of her reward, Mochida will become a trainee of Tsunku’s recently created NICE GIRL Project, which is currently the home of idol groups The Possible and Canary Club.
