Shortlisted!
01 July 2009
I was checking MySpace to see if i had any messages, then i saw one from *gasp*, モーニング娘。! O.O Heart attack die can! Then i realized after reading it for the 8th time that it was a shortlisted notice. I wonder how many got shortlisted?
You can roughly tell which ones got shortlisted by the number of views on their videos. Those in the 2000 to 4000 range have been rising steadily the past week. Ahhhh! So exciting.
It's stated 2nd to 5th July USA time, so we have no idea which day exactly they're going to announce the results. This weekend is going to be EPIC! I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait I can't wait~
*UPDATE* Top 25 shortlisted entries can be found here. I'm the only entry from Singapore! Majority of the entries are from Japan.
