Twitter feeds to follow: twitter.com/inuimasatotwitter.com/sasuke_tbsAlso: Apparently Bunpei Shiratori will be participating in SASUKE 30 (as a competitor or just there is not clear.) There will be auditions in Kyushu, Osaka and presumably Tokyo. People in the Osaka area have already gotten notification if they are in or not.

Thanks for the information and the translation Ube! It's awesome to finally have Bunpei back to SASUKE, whether he is competing or not. He's been seemingly forgotten in the past few years, so it's a very welcome surprise to hear about him being re-acknowledged for everything he has done as an All-Star.

I'm super stoked about Bunpei. I hope that means all 6 are returning. To be clear though (and I got this from Inui directly) every All-star was invited in the past 3 tournaments (Rising) and even Kane Kosugi has been invited but he's declined. They re-invited him again mentioning it's the 30th tournament and are actively working to get him. Whether he comes or not we won't know for a while, however he did confirm that he has always been formally invited. I didn't know that for sure before I asked him.

That's great news! I hope Bunpei is able to compete, but even if he's just there to cheer the others on, it'll still be great to see him there. Btw, love the pic, Elsie.

Seems he will compete, however it's his last actual competition. I know he's gunning for all 6 to compete so let's hope it works out!

It's the longest shot of long shots, but if Inui actually pulls off all six All-Stars PLUS Kane Kosugi, this man is god. Just pulling one of these off is incredibly difficult.

Great news about Bunpei! Any other people he is trying to invite besides all the All Stars & Kane?

Great news about Bunpei! Any other people he is trying to invite besides all the All Stars & Kane? I only asked about those. Obviously he's not the only person asking and TBS has their own list. I doubt I can get access to that. I'll just patiently wait to see who they get. I already asked enough specific questions. LOL

It has been 6 years ever since Bunpei last competed. Time has just flown by.

This is my first time going through the application process with "nakama." Everyone I know is waiting with intense nervousness and checking their e-mail every hour in hopes of finding that letter telling them to come in for an interview. It used to be a selfish endeavour of just wanting yourself to get in, but now that I meant a bunch of people with kanzenseiha potential I'm wanting everyone to have a shot. Unfortunately, most of us don't have the life drama that attracts the attention of the selection staff. I think this being the 30th Sasuke with Bunpei and others possibly coming back, everyone wants onto the show more than ever.

I don't want to turn this into the "this is what the twitter account said today" but anyway, there were (according to the producer) over 3000 applicants nationwide for this SASUKE and Osaka auditions start today. twitter.com/sasuke_tbs/statuses/456991219021656064

Well, the twitter account is an official outlet, so it can be taken as official announcements/ramblings of what's going on.

Well, the twitter account is an official outlet, so it can be taken as official announcements/ramblings of what's going on. Agreed. Seems they are doing calls then auditions. Osaka so far is the only region called. Kanto (Tokyo area) hasn't been called yet. And there's a possibility that Sendai is on the list to take care of those up north/east. Inui as director (who has to be at the auditions) has 2 major shows he's dealing with (Real Escape TV and Table Tennis broadcast) so I expect that it will be weaved in between somehow. So far the projected month is still intact for taping. No word yet on actual day (not sure if I can get it this time either).

Kanto auditions will be on the 27th per official account tweet. And no Sendai this year so this is the 2nd and last audition. I feel bad for those up north, they have to fight to get on the show with others from Kanto region.
