Satoyama Goods...


Ozeki Mai got a shortcut. All the girls look different, like Manaka has her bangs up for once.

Mai really reminds me of Miya from Be Genki with that style.

I can't wait to see larger pics, especially of Ozeki.

From the Satoyama & Satoumi event goods (click for somewhat bigger).

Uta seriously resembles Miyazaki Yuka in that picture.

They all look cute <3.

I find that Uta looks a lot like Uemura Akari in that pic, actually (it's probably the hair + the pose). Manaka looks adorable with her hair like that and Mai looks really boyish (in a good way) with that haircut.

their new styling and make-up looks bleh.
they looked fine a week ago.
i can understand that they might to encourage that whole transformation idea that HP idols go through but they looked better before.

but oh well its just goods anyway. I hope they release an indies single ready for Winter Con.

D: I hope Mai's new hair will grow on my, because right now I really miss the hair we met her with. This style seems to pull attention away from her smile, which I think is her charm point. Risa, Uta and Manaka look great though.

Also Uta looks really similar to my best friend in Middle School and it's weirding me out majorly. They have similar mannerisms as well which is compounding the weird factor.

I liked how the looked before but I like how they look now, too.
Yamaki looks so much prettier (as opposed to being cute)
Idk if you guys will agree but somehow, in that style, she looks Satoda Mai-ish (like...not look, but the style of prettiness and hair)
Manaka just looks much cuter with that expression and hair lol
Mai having the tomboyish look makes UtaMai ship more viable haha It's an ok change imo, I like her old look better, but I dont dislike this one so its ok
Uta, finally, a full smile, she looks so cute smiling!
I agree, her pose and hairstyle is Yuka-ish but her eyes and her face resembles Uemura a little bit.
The other girl looks cute now but she didnt look bad before.
Chisaki looks cute.

They're starting their idol careers, they're bound to change their style every now and then, so if someone doesnt particularly like how they look now then its just (maybe not "just" but...) a matter of time before their hair grows and find another look (unless they do it over )
