I like... Want to be surprised but I'm not.

Maybe it's because I haven't been paying attention but 12th Gen just feels overshadowed from the lasting popularity that 10th Gen has, Oda (11th) being a general song-lead, and 13th coming off endearing from the start. Maria seems to be pushing a princess character but that could either go really well or really bad, Miki's the most talented but gets shoehorned into speaking english like Mika Todd, and Akane just looks like she's there.

12 is pretty bland, yeah. Remember the days of yore, when ye Morning Daughters would get on talk shows and go toe-to-toe with other celebs, instead of being timid and stagestruck? Miki could use a bit more fire. I say this but even still Wikipedia, deleting Nonaka's page because she's not notable enough? That's some cold shizz right there.

Eep, and she's at her peak of notability right now!

I think we're finally starting to see Miki get over her... pulled backed anxiety? I don't have a good word for it, and she's been a lot more energetic lately. I think all this ambassador stuff is good for her. I agree with Zunu, she needs a little more fire to really make that impact. I want her to get there too, I think she could be awesome if she wasn't so scared of putting herself out there. You can see hints of it, just go for it Nonaka!

If Ogata Haruna gets a photobook before she graduates, what should the title be?

h2o?
Thin Ice?
Let It Go?
AAA?

[Zunu]

Haruna, Owatta.
