she has improved her voice by leaps and bounds, I couldn't believe it was her singing when I heard her performance in comparison to last year's.

I'm so proud of little Stitch    ...I guess no one expected such a tremendous improvement. I'm happy she managed to surprise so many people! And she just turned 13 ...there's so much time for her to become even better!

After the big KSS influx 2015, this is the first time since then that I have quite a few new KSS favourites. Kirara is one oft them~ .... I hope the debut quota will be as good as with my last favourite batch of KSS

(1 month later) Her new profile picture is pretty good, she has more of an idol like aura now than when she first joined.

Don't know about anyone else but I love her solo line @3:21! 

Her voice reminds me of someone but I can't think of who it is... 

All I know is she's one of my top 5 kenshuusei and I can't wait for her to debut!

If I had to compare with that line specifically, I'd say the flavor of her voice was closest to Sayashi Riho in that moment.  It just seems like if someone tried to mix Riho's voice with the slightest shades of Fukuda Kanon and Ogawa Saki.  In other performances, it would probably be the Sakitty comparison that seems more dominant.

 

Her voice is still developing, so there are a lot of comparisons that could be made with others that were H!P-trained as well.  Her vocals have already changed so dramatically in the past couple of years.  It could probably even be joked that if the KSS program itself were a person, this voice and style would probably be the way she sounded.

 

My brief review of Kirara's performance at last year's exam:

Spoiler

13. 8.5/10 - Yonemura Kirara - Tokaikko Junjou
Now this is a great example of what the program can do with someone who has a lot of potential.  Last year, I gave her performance a 6, but this was such a vast improvement that it really surprised me.

[AmaSusE]

Yeah, she improved tons! Which H!P member was it that praised her singing and stage performance a lot not too long ago? ... I read it in a blog post somewhere. Anyway, I think she's one of the over-all most talented KSS right now.

Not as impressed with her performance this year as last year but I still really like her. If she improves just a little bit more she'll be something great.

[LiamMusume]

I really think that it was just a bad song choice for her, Kirara definitely has talent and I guess although I wasn't too keen on her performance (mainly because I am not a big fan of the song in general) at least she is challenging herself with a song that requires a bit of energy to perform.

That can definitely happen for her. I think she hits all the right marks to make a debut, just depends if other girls get ahead of her.
