We have a Princess Peach now we've got a Strawberry the kirakira names are really starting to kick in.

 

EDIT: Also as it's being speculated elsewhere, there's a chance this could be Kosakura Ichigo formerly of Onigokko. We talked about her a bit in the 13ki audition thread and there was talk of her joining the KSS. So Kosakura may have just been a staged surname.

I really hope it's the same Ichigo because following her twitter (which was delete since). Her dancing covers were so fun to watch plus singing was adorable too. If that's her then I'll support and follow her as always!

Ok if the info on the other members is right Matsunaga's birthdate is the 7th July 2005, and Nakayama's is the 20th July 2005. That means because of their order in the listings Yamada Ichigo must've been born between those dates. Kosakura Ichigo's birth date is 15th July 2005 right in that very narrow window of a few days. So I'm edging ever closer to the idea this is the same Ichigo, in fact it'll be pretty surprising it's not really.

So it is almost confirmed. A couple of videos of Ichigo girl.

[miyooooons]

Omgggg all these new girls are so cute.

And possibly 3 of the new girls are born in July 2005? That's crazy lol.

It's also suuuuper weird seeing a girl this little dancing to a Kobushi Factory song.

 

I get a small Kassa vibe from her looks.  

[ceferquin]

I think she looks like Riho.

Spoiler

[Obsidian]

Yes definitely, people seem to often say someone looks like Riho and I never get it...this time the Riho is strong.

[celestia414]

Wow you're right! When she does the closed mouth smile she looks A LOT like Riho

[miyooooons]

omg I totally see the Riho-ness

[rinafest'19]

Omg she does look like Riho!! She's adorable

[Sceila]

wooooo she really does ! I'm excited

[LittleBerry]

Hah, this whole batch of KSS look quite promising They're all very pretty~ This one alongside Eguchi Saya & Okamura Minami looks the more interesting to me.

So it is almost confirmed. A couple of videos of Ichigo girl.

 

Thank you for posting all these videos on each respective thread, it is always nice to be able to learn who the KSS are as soon as possible lol. Since she also has an established idol background, I'll be following her thread now. (I at least hope people would learn more about her of who she is and not just be a fan of her because she looks like Riho lol.)

[Obsidian]

Her dancing is infectiously over-energic (she's over qualified for the KSS! ) like @Momomochi says she did very fun dance covers, her Utakata was still my favourite and it's shame she took them down. But it looks very likely they went down because she'll be swapping H!P covers for the real thing so that's the best reason. There's also a photo circulating that looks like her at one of the Harocon at Sunplaza, and given the covers she did I think it's fair to say she's another H!P Idol-Wota. Still, fingers crossed it turns out to be her.

[ceferquin]

She is a Riho clone.

^Now I'm getting Hirose Ayaka (her cheeks and eye slants) vibes from her along with the Riho vibes lol.

[Obsidian]

100% confirmed, Kosakura is actually Yamada

 

[NagiVal]

She is the one that called my attention the most but didn't want to jump in until it was confirmed and I'm glad it is really her!. She is so cute ;v; 

[maora]

Now that she's confirmed, she's officially my favorite from this gen.
