Well, those are new girls, alright. Not really having any impression, yet.

[forgetmenots]

-Nonaka is someone returning from abroad, due to her father's work in Illinois and Alabama.

I'm really intrigued by this. I wonder how long she lived in the States. If it was for a good amount of time it could mean the return of English Surprise Lessons lol. Though unless she specifically works to keep the language ability up (which since she seems proud of it she probably will) it might fade off into normal Japanese standards.

They're all so cute, ahhh. Miki's dimple <3 I want to see them interact with the girls ASAP~ I'm excited to find out what kind of positions they take up in the group. I'm also insanely excited for their debut single. I hope they do something like in Maji Desu Ka where everyone in the group gets a line (with proper focus on the 12th gen of course)

Also yay for the youngest being 12 again!

[Reina]

I have no wonder why I keep staring at daisaku ._.

[Pavlova]

Oh no, I'm starting to like Haruna 2.

Must see more of her.

Since when do we ever like the same members? lol. Now I'm expecting her to be either suddenly annoying, have a squeaky voice or be a bad dancer, lol.

So Akane and Maria were KSS, right?

[bisuketto]

Well, those are new girls, alright. Not really having any impression, yet.

I mean, Miki looks kinda cute. It'll be fun to see what they look like after they get a makeover. I hope 4 new girls means more lines for everyone and less Riho

[Daisuki Daiiyo]

They're all so cute. I can't wait to see them in releases/tv shows/interacting with the other members. I'm surprised that 2 kenshuusei made it through, and I'm glad with the picks. Maria is cute as can be, and way back during the initial auditions I'd said I'd wanted an Akane or an Aya so this is great. The new girl from Osaka is giving me Aika-teas whenever she smiles, and I adore Aika so this is like wish fulfillment for me hahaha. And Miki is adorable too, and I'm excited to see if they do anything with her english conversation skills, perhaps at another stateside appearance in another year or two.

Now to await any footage on Harosute.

[Mixi]

MARIA

is all I have to say. I've always thought Akane was cute too, but MARIA. The others look better in the concert shots. I have no opinion about them.

[Panic Nancy]

I think I'm drawn to Haruna the most. She has an interesting look, kind of like Kaede mixed with Tomoko. She looks terrible in the official picture, though, haha. But that's normal. I can't wait to see some footage. *___*
