I'm really rooting for this girl. Hopefully she won't give up on being a KSS. She has a lot of potential

Momotaro looks extra cute in those concert pictures AmaSusE shared.
Pretty eyes

[Obsidian]

They way they've styled her for the concerts is amazing she really does look good, right now she's probably the best visually out of the new girls.

[EtherSword]

^You think so? But yeah, she is up there for sure. That is a look that is definitely working for her. Usually it takes much longer for some other girls to find that cute look that works for their features.

[Obsidian]

Right now I'd assess - Ono is the best performance, Nakano is the most naturally cute (normally completely unintentionally ), Yanagawa the strongest all round Idol potential but Kasahara has the look she also really fits that overall image of a lot of KSS. (Unfortunately I can only assess based on who could attend those who could attend).

[AmaSusE]

We shouldn't forget that Momona is yet to turn 12 ...so this kind of beauty (though granted she looks a bit more awkward off-stage) is kind of off-the-charts, isn't it?

 

In terms of the new KSS gen this would be my personal ranking. It's off-topic, I know, but please bear with me. I think it couldn't hurt to talk about them a bit more . 

 

-Yanagawa Nanami: Like Obsidian said - best all-rounder. Singing level is the highest of the newbies (maybe a draw with Ono Mizuho). I like her determination. 

-Kasahara Momona: beautiful, lots of dance talent, everything else pretty much a construction site which makes her all the more interesting for me

-Akiyama Mao: She has a cool aura. Also, while she might not be considered a beauty, I really like how she looks. I think, she will be a good performer too. I really liked her song choice for the test.

-Maeda Kokoro: She seems to be a very kind girl, I really like her eyes. Her being a karateka is awesome. Has lots of potential in every area.

-(Okamoto Honoka): Well, still no sign of life from Honoka, but this would be her position in my ranking. She's a beginner in everything but I found her interesting

-Nakano Rion: She's really very cute, isn't she ... She still has to train a lot, but she could be interesting. I love her signature hair style with the two little buns + loose hair 

-Kanatsu Mizuki: Awww, she seems so shy. Kind of like a mouse  ... in any case, she's cute, her new hair cut really suits her. She still very much a beginner.

-Ono Mizuho: good singer, already has an idoly aura. I'm just not particularly interested in her 

 

The three names in bold are part of my favourite KSS  ...but I pretty much follow all KSS.

^Be off-topic as much as you want when you want to share this topic

I still have to check the invidual threads to match a face.
I haven't memorize the face and names of the girls
And its not helping me much that I somehow see Rion and Momotaro looking the same
As long as Rion stick to her twin ponytails I can distinguish her from Momotaro

[AmaSusE]

Posted this in the main thread a while ago. Maybe it helps

 

 

From tumblr, in case someone has trouble learning the names of the new girls 

 

 

 

Here's some new pictures so you can practice the names ... resolution in spoilers

^Thank you for posting the pics

When looking at their first introduction photos and their current photo, they have change so much.
Everbody is cuter
I would not be able to tell they were the same girls

[Recognizer]

I'm seeing her non-blog photos on picboard more that any other newbies. Hope this is a sign of her rise in popularity (bc pics are uploaded by fans who bought them rite?)

Doesn't she look p fine for 12 years?

[EtherSword]

^She looks defined. Her makeover is really good.

[the rose garden]

It's so hard to believe she's only 11.

Her beauty reminds me so much of Uemu, she's like the second coming of her.

[ayumini]

God if she looks like this at eleven how's she going to be at fifteen/sixteen?

[AmaSusE]

I seriously hope she'll be still around that time for us to see!!

 

 

Apparently, Momona recently got lost in the big city   ...http://blog.livedoor...s/46179281.html

 

Poor little baby ... getting lost was my personal nightmare when I was a kid. But getting lost alone in Tokyo is even more terrifying   

[Obsidian]

So she has something else in common with Uemu?

[zam（仮）]

Her beauty reminds me so much of Uemu, she's like the second coming of her.

Exactly what I was thinking too

[Danes83]

Another great potential in Momona-chan

Another very cute photo card




Sorry for posting the full pics and not the thumbnails.
The thumbnails don't do Momona justice

[AmaSusE]

She's so freaking adorable ....especially in the first pic - her lips with the teeth showing ...also, this has to be my favourite KSS outfit there ever was ... too bad it was only for one set of Nama Tamago shows and not one of their signature costumes.

Momona

[the rose garden]

It's too bad her hair is no longer this long.

She looks so pretty.
