Current Audition

Audition Promotion 2026

Apply hereJune 15, 2026

Application Deadline: June 30, 2026

Main article: Hello! Project Wiki:Administrators/Auditions

The new admins are usually chosen through auditions, which are held upon decision of current administrators. Candidates fill in an application form before the deadline and then they await the results. Both user contribution and behavior in the community are taken into consideration. In some cases the auditionees may become content moderators instead with the hopes of being promoted to admins later on.

The older version of the auditions involved public opinion (of users who weren't administrators), however, this part was dropped due to very few to no users taking this chance to share their thoughts. There have been other methods used in the past such as emergency adminhood by Wikia overlords when none was active, or admin election.

There are many ways to support Hello! Project, such as buying their music releases and merchandise, attending their concerts, and watching their music videos on YouTube.

Here are some recommendations for you from the Hello! Project Wiki admins!

Makara Furusawa's recommendation
SuggoiFever-RA
Suggoi FEVER! / Wake-up Call ~Mezameru Toki~ / Neverending Shine - Morning Musume '23

❝ My #1 recommendation would be Morning Musume's 73rd single "Suggoi FEVER / Wake-up Call ~Mezameru Toki~ / Neverending Shine" because it had very good songs with a very fun line-up to watch as it made the single one of the best singles of the Fukumura Mizu era. Oh, and speaking of that, my favorite song from the single is "Wake-up Call ~Mezameru Toki~". Oh, and also, the song "Neverending Shine" was a perfect graduation song from Fukumura Mizuki, and that is how it was a perfect single that wrapped up the Fukumura Mizu era beautifully in my opinion. ❞
