Maria seems so idolish already and she's only just been added to the group. Her hair is just adorable in the 14 sho ~the message~ release goods. She already has this spark. She's going to be catching the attention of many.

I absolutely love Miki. She's become my favorite of the gen. She seems both smart and full of talent waiting to be shown to the world.

Akane has this really mature vibe even though shes the youngest. I also see her as having hidden potential.

Haruna has been giving me this babyish vibe. Like shes so innocent and sweet and a bit clumsy and awkward. Even though shes the oldest she seems like shes one of the youngest. Its kind of cute though. It makes you just want to protect her.

^ you describe Oharu's personality to where it reminds me a lot of Kamei Eri lol.

I notice the sweater colors are reflective of what people seem to think their member colors will be:
Makino - Sayu pink
Haga - purple
Oharu - light blue

not a very good comparison.

I guess I should ask which one do you not like, Kamei or Ogata lol.

I think it's fair. Kamei was innocent and very KY, and despite being the eldest after Mikitty, she was also quite childlike in her random musings and playfulness. She was muh more skilled than Ogata currently is, but I was reflecting on just personality.

[Jessi]

I don't really see Kamei in that same way. Kamei seemed more mature.

I don't know who to compare it to honestly. Masaki comes across young and childlike, but more like a bratty child lol

Haruna is more sweet and innocent. She's been playful in pictures, but so far whenever we see her on hello station she's more shy.

EDIT

I just thought of the closest possible comparison: Kon Kon

I think you just have to wait till we get a better feel for her personality. Hopefully Maachan will do her best to bring it out.

[Jessi]

I honestly wouldn't mind a goofier version of Kon Kon.

So I'm definitely finding makeupless Akane in blog photos way cuter than in official photos. Either it's her posing or her makeup, but she looks odd to me. Like a kid wearing stuff too mature for herself. I do think given time she'll be a Sayu type beauty though.
