Aikawa Maho - long hair, wearing a white shirt and a red skirt, tall
 
Murota Mizuki - hair in a ponytail, wearing white and blue plaid, short, has darker skin (like Dawa)

Maki could sound a lot better than she did there (especially later on), though. Not that she was as good as Ayaya, of course. 

I was just listening to a couple of Ayaya x Inaba covers from Uta Doki! Pop Classics: 
 
Romance no Kamisama
 
Banri no Kawa

Not my favorite member, but my favorite member to look at. I want her face.   The picture isn't good quality, but I can't find a better one atm.

I love it.

I missed this somehow. Yay.  I'd be more excited if the routines that they've done so far were more challenging but whatever. 

Ooh. I like it. Murota's high note at the end of her line is a little ugly, though. She's a pretty good singer, but I really dislike how screechy/shouty she can be. Maybe she'd sound better if she didn't dance so hard, lol. But this song is awesome. 

I've always found to them both to be mediocre at best. I do like Rena's voice, though. I listen to the KSS concerts very regularly, so I'm fairly confident in my opinions about them. However, every now and then one of the girls improves dramatically and surprises me, so... who knows?   Also, I don't...

She's gotten better, but she's still awful, imo. She has a very flat tone and frequently goes off pitch. 

[quote="Solarblade"] Another KSS unit has been announced, it's 8 members consisting of: Hamaura, Taguchi, Ogawa, Nomura, Wada, Fujii, Hirose, and Inoue Rei [/quote]   That's a really surprising line-up. There's a few semi-decent people, but there's only like one strong singer (Hirose) in t...

Chinami wrote another blog post in English. The ending is the best part.  
 
 

I actually think they're all pretty cute, except for Ozeki. She's a little weird-looking. I'm curious to see how this group is going to work out, as far as the roles that each girl will have. 
 
Also, Riho looks amazing in the MM picture. 

The name is amazing and I love it.   Seriously, though, it could be worse. Isn't there a Stardust group called Takoyaki Rainbow? 
 
The girls all look really nice in the profile shots. Except for Rikako's hair. 

I didn't think Mika sounded very good in CM, but I thought she sounded fairly strong in Minimoni and some of her stuff that she did on her own later. But it's been a while since I listened to any of that. And I forgot Ishii Rika. I haven't listened to her much at all, but wasn't she really good?  

This thread keeps getting bumped, lol. I guess I might as well do mine. These aren't ranked, just listed. There are some people that I'm not really sure about, having not heard them enough. So if anybody disagrees with someone on my lists, I'd be very much interested in hearing about it (preferably ...

I was confused by Meikochi calling it blue, but she's right. They're doing green for Akari and a blue-ish green for Masaki. It's not the same. 

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote" data-author="Meikochi" data-cid="182341" data-time="1418064851"> I was surprised by the number of green glowsitcks, overwhelming blue's and yellow's ones, during SatoNoAkari's performance. </blockquote> Who is blue? Aren't Mas...

I'm not sure how you can complain about Mai when Maasa and Chinami are present. :P

Despite not being listed on the website, Maria and Akane are there. Rikako takes Karin's lines, Murota takes Sayuki's, Maria takes Tomoko's, Akane takes Akari's line, and Maho takes Yuka's line. The last two might be the reverse. The lines are too short for me to be sure. (The lines are distributed ...

Loving you Too much - Chisato, Dawa, Mai, Haruka, Karin, Meimi, Yuka
 
Yet another performance with Karin and Meimi. This is so great.   

Yeah, she did not sound too good there. She was really into it, though, which surprised me. But I'm just happy I finally get to see a performance with Karin and Meimi together.  

^ What about Ruru and Maeda Yuki? I always thought they were pretty great.    [quote="Zoe"] There was actually a random article posted earlier this month about how Aya should do a comeback next year and what she should do. I was surprised because the writer actually talked about her appear...

lol That surprised me, too. Murota was laughing, so it might have been more of a joke or something, but it's useful information if she meant it. But I don't know if what Rikako considers to be mediocre is what I  would consider to be mediocre. But I guess it doesn't matter either way. Even if she is...

I think Ayano is safe for now. Unlike with Nanami, they've been pushing her quite a bit for a while now, and especially lately.

A Juice=Juice mini-album with five songs from the Koisuru Hello Kitty musical is going to be released.     Tracklist:  1. HELLO! 2. Shooting Star 3. 届け 届け 届け!  4. あなたが わからない  5. ほんとうの気持ち  <p style="font-size:14.4444446563721px;">  <div> Preview of Shooting Star (from the official channel) ...
