I think Riho is very self-conscious about behaving appropriately despite her real feelings. She does what is she is supposed to be doing in the way she thinks is expected of her.

Erina's hair looks terrible. I hate it.

Reina's graduation photoset dress displayed at the H!P Shop

Late to comment because I've been out a lot in the past week, but anyway, Reina has been my favorite from the beginning of my fandom back in 2004. I'll miss her in MM (especially since I'm really not so into Lovendor yet... don't really like the other members, but I'll support them because I like Reina and she's doing what she wants to do). But I'm also always curious to see what MM becomes when a very important member leaves, like when Ai leaves, even though Ai-chan was also a favorite... so I'm not really sad. It's cool how part of the reason Reina became my favorite at the beginning was because she was the youngest at the time and was closest in age to me, and now we're moving on to the next stage in our life pretty much around the same time. Actually, I think Reina's birthday is still the closest to mine among all H!P members ever (November 1989 vs. February 1990).

The blue leopard outfit is awesome, by the way. Can't wait for the DVD to be released... months from now.

Seeing the graduation photoset dress again just heightens how much I love and appreciate her real graduation "dress".

I'm actually a lot sadder about Reina's grad than I expected to be. Reina has always been in the bottom half of my ranking for no real reason - She sings good, her Yankii personality is cool, and I like her style a lot, but I never really clicked with her. So when she graduated I thought I would be all "Okay, Bye" but I'm actually kind of upset. I think it's the whole thing with 6th Gen getting into Morning Musume when I got into the fandom and I grew into my fandom watching 6th gen grow up in MM. *Sigh* I'll actually miss you Reina.

While I love Aichan, I was dissapointed with her graduation outfit, it was awful. Was too casual for such an event, but they let her choose, so whatever she wishes...

Reina's outfit on the other hand, is gorgeous. Probably my favorite graduation one.
