Akane gives me major Masaki vibes.

I am very impressed with this lineup, definitely going to shake up my favourites in the group!
Maria is already waaaay up there in my rankings but nobody can ever take the top spot of Honey!

Both Ogata and Nonaka are super cute oh my god... Ogata seems like my type.

[Jessi]

I can say yasshi's position is definitely safe

Actually I think that Maria might end up being competition. I get a fierce vibe from her.

I forgot where and the exact details but I vaguely remember reading an article pointing out that Maria is such a huge fan of baseball than even Takechan seems normal in comparison. It's something about their trivia knowledge and actual going to events I think (Maria went often to the cheer rallies thing)... also one of her close relative is actually a pro player somewhere iirc.

Watching the news clips... those 2 new girls look really fresh. I think I'm gonna have no problem taking a liking to this new Haruna (she's so adorable geez, scoot over Haruna v1.0 you're back to meshikubo or Harunan) and Miki ^^. Their idol makeover is gonna be amazing I can already feel it lol

Akane is as small and cute as I remember and although she's always been known for outgoing personality and talk abilities in Kss circle, Maria surprises me a bit in how she interviews so well on tv already considering it's her first.
A while ago I was rambling on about how I can see a little bit of Sayu's influence on all of the current members and that it's one of Sayu's significant accomplishment as the leader, well for Akane and Maria I think that effect kinda comes pre-installed and I couldn't be happier xD.

Yeah after watching the videos i am definitely impressed with Miki's english. I hope the japanese fans won't be too harsh on her and give her all their support.

Something everyone has yet failed to mention...
This is the first gen with girls born after 2000.
After. 2000.
First.

Also, I definitely think Maria will dominate this gen in terms of interviews and stuff like that. She seems like she will be that speaky one.

Also...
MIKI'S ENGLISH OMG
I guess after 8 years in america you learn english pretty well.
