General H!P EGG information
Some random, useful information.
What are Hello! Project EGGs?
H!P EGGs are audition winners who get free training to develop their potential as idols. Until this day they have mostly only appeared as backdancers at various H!P concerts, but since spring 2006 they have been given more chances to perform (with Tokito Ami, and in several plays). The first audition for H!P EGGs was in 2004 when 32 girls were chosen. Another audition was held in 2006 with 3 successful applicants. Now that Kawashima Miyuki has left and Okada Yui and Arihara Kanna have debuted, it could be said the current amount of H!P EGGs is still 32. In 2006 Tsunku's new company TNX took THE Possible, a H!P Egg unit, under its wing. There's always a possibility more units will be formed in the future.
