[jeiwa42]

^^ Same!

Maria is in the dance club, for a little over a year now. Akane's not bad, but I think Miki was a bit better. SHE'S TOTALLY CHANNELING RIHO lol jk

[TotallyUncool]

Miki does look so much like Riho! But the really strange thing was that there were times when I'd see Sakura's face, and my brain whould think Koharu?!?

From watching the dance lesson:
I think Kaedi is winning the ikemen race already lol
Miki looks really pretty with her hair down. She also strongly channels Riho with her hair like that xD
Eripon looks stunning, and I now think she's a Taiki Bansei. Also, her doing her little dance during the X-formation practice while waiting for that part of the song caught me off guard, that was unexpectedly cute of her lol

Tbh I see Kaedi and Kudo very different as far as the Ikemen vibes are concerned.

Kudo has a very boyish charm to her. Whereas Kaedi has a more badass Yosshi-esque vibe going for her. I am actually not sure if MM has ever had a boyish character like Haruka. Kaedi's really grown into her character, I think its something she lacked when she was a younger KSS, but shes totally rocking it now. I wasn't sure about her when she was initially added, but I've really grown to love her.

Also regarding Yokoyan, does anyone else see her channeling Eri? And I don't just mean because of that picture posted a few days ago.

Not really. Sure, they look similar, but that's all. To me, she seems less eccentric and more self-aware than Kame ever was. She's sweet and eager to please, which are fine qualities to have in a newbie, but I don't see her ever behaving like this…

If anyone, it's Fukuchan who seems to be channeling Kame.

BRAND NEW MORNING MV hits 1 million views, a week before release.

[Chibs]

^^Respectfully I disagree, it is Maachan that channels Kamei. Fukuchan loves Kamei, and Reinya looks like Kamei.

[Celedam]

Respectfully I disagree right back. Maachan isn't eccentric, she's full-blown sociopathic. Rules don't apply to her, and other people exist only to give her attention. If they don't, they become her enemies. She's massively ADHD, she shows very little empathy toward others, and she can barely even look most people in the eye. She should have outgrown such behavior by now, but she hasn't, and the only reason she gets away with it — in fact, gets paid for it — is because she's a cute girl with some talent. The same behavior in almost anyone else of the same age (17!) would get them arrested and/or committed.

I'm not kidding.

Anyhow, Kame wasn't like that at all. She was pleasantly goofy and had a unique way of looking at the world, but she also knew how to modulate that part of herself and she was always kind to others. And when I look at the current lineup, I think Fukuchan is the most like that.

[resop2]

My view of Mizupon is much different. To me, her most defining attribute is that she is a super fan of idols who became an idol herself. I haven't heard of any stories of Eri being a fan of the other H!P idols. Mizupon has stated that she is very similar to Yamaki Risa in this respect.
