*Motto might be a bit rough.

wow, she's so pretty! i'm interested.

[LittleBerry]

This girl has an interesting face, I like her name and she likes to draw? I wonder if she's good? I even like her motto, heh. So tough to decide who to be immediately drawn to just from pictures but besides Ruri (who we knew from a previous audition), she's like number 2 stand-out for me

[melonpan♪]

Looking cute.

 

[miyooooons]

she's got the tiniest lil nose! so cute!

[ruel]

her introduction @ 12:50

[chocolatmenthe]

She's so pretty, articulate and well behaved! Looking forward to her future!

[Jenksy]

I can see this girl in Angerme

[chocolatmenthe]

^ Wouldn't mind her in my favorite group, but I can see her ending in TF of Kirara Factory.

 

Can we just talk about the human idol perfection that this girl is?

Actually, she looks more like a Showa Idol though... Aw, she would fit CHIKA#TETSU songs so well!

Man, I hope they don't let this one run away like they did Ichigo...

[Hollerama]

I can see them putting Momo in a group soon. She's adorable & has the tiniest face. She's a strong dancer and her singing is improving a lot - the clip of her singing Aenai Nagai Nichiyoubi on Hello Dream recently shows how much she's improving. No offense to Ichigo fans, but I can see UF being more interested in keeping Momo around.

[chocolatmenthe]

^ And we know how Japanese people OBSESS over tiny faces...

 

Both Momo and Ichigo were my KSS darlings, now that it's only Momo left...

Actually I would want her in a brand new group. Not even Kirara Factory, because Kirara is likely going to steal the spotlight, but another new group were she can be the ace! Like, a visual kind of ace...

[Hollerama]

^ It would actually be my dream if the 30th gen of KSS were made into their own group. Like how good would this lineup be?

I listened to the most recent KSS radio show today (with Hashida Honoka, Nishizaki Miku, and Murakoshi Ayana), and they talked about Momo a bit.

 

Apparently Momo went to Honoka's graduation ceremony at Honoka's middle school, to Honoka's complete surprise. She brought roses to give to Honoka and congratulate her on graduating middle school.

Honoka said she never told Momo where her school was, and Momo said "oh, I just called up your mom and asked". Honoka replied "wait, since when have you had my mom's phone number?!" Apparently Momo and Honoka's mom have been friends for a while without Honoka knowing Momo also sent letters to other KSS members for Christmas by surprise.

 

I remember on another recent KSS radio show where a listener asked a question along the lines of "what do you have (a personal item, memory, etc) that you treasure in life", and Momo replied that she treasures her fellow KSS members. It's unfortunate that Momo has a generally bad reputation on ookami from many of the H!P or KSS fans that only watch Harodori, due to the way she strong-armed her way into the leader position of team Tamamushi. I guess she can be seen as strong willed and kinda pushy on Harodori, but it looks like she's really kind and generous in reality.

 

I'm looking forward to her Jitsuryoku Shindan Test performance!

[Nayok-Kihara]

That's so ridiculously precious, but I can't lie - I'm also curious about how in the world she -originally- got her mom's number.

 

People should ease off, just because she's strong-willed doesn't mean she isn't also a sweetheart.

[Fall]

How she got her mom's number is just one of many questions that raises for me, but if this eventually turns into a similar Yuhane/Rika dynamic, that could be funny. It's up in the air whether or not the inclusion of Honoka's mother in this scenario would make it more wholesome or more creepy than Yuhane sneaking pictures for her Rika folder though lol

 

Being so involved is really endearing. Given H!P's track record with new groups, I'm somewhat worried for how the new group could be handled, but her affinity towards other KSS and having a little bit of an independent streak makes me think she'd be a great addition for the KSS Unit in particular as it debuts. If she hangs around for a bit, that kind of attitude could also serve her well as a 10th gen Angerme selection.

[cunning]

To be honest she seems the type that is kind of a perfectionist and is pretty hard on yourself (based on her performances at an early stage, she is really well put together in terms of voice/dance/expressions etc). She probably insisted on being the leader so she could feel like she was in control of the outcome somewhat. She did a good job though, and leadership definitely isn't a bad thing!

That's such a cute anecdote, it seems like she really wants to make friends through kenshuusuei
