... that Rico Sasaki(pictured) beat 9,000 others in an audition to play Annie in a Japanese production of Annie in 2008? Source: [1] ("幼少期より歌と音楽をこよなく愛し、様々な音楽と触れ合いながら育ち、小学3年生の時に、ミュージカル「アニー」の舞台を観て感動しその舞台に立つことを夢見、そして小学校5年生の時にオーディションによりその主役の座を約9000人の応募の中から勝ち取るという、シンデレラストーリーを実現する。")
ALT1: ... that Rico Sasaki(pictured) started her music career after beating almost 4,000 applicants in an audition held to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the record label Teichiku Records? Source: [2] ("今年4月にスタートし国内のみならず合計3,836件の応募をいただき、大変話題になった本オーディションも、12月1日東京のビクタースタジオにおける最終審査を以って全ての日程を終了いたしました。")
Overall: Sources check out. Earwig gives it the all-clear. Solid and well-sourced article. Both ALTs work, but I prefer ALT0. I suggest a small change: "... that Rico Sasaki(pictured) beat 9,000 other auditioners to play the title role in a Japanese production of Annie in 2008?" Well done! —CurryTime7-24 (talk) 02:35, 22 November 2021 (UTC)
