#1 - Miyawaki Sakura. I've loved Sakura since 2012, and she has been my favorite HKT48 member since. I've tried liking other girls, but I always go back to her. She reminds me so much of Yukirin with her reactions to things, I think when Yukirin appeared on Hakata Hyakkaten, she really listened to her advice and started reacting to stuff. She's also very cute and I look forward to seeing her grow!
#2 - Inoue Yuriya. I think it's her love of cats that got me, that and she has this unique look...as in she really looks like cat to me. She's also Sakura's 2nd gen oshi, so I started getting into her even more because of that. So far, she's a cutie and I want to see more of her.
#3 - Murashige Anna. I really don't know what it is about Murashige, but this girl is too damn hilarious to be around. Both her and Chori remind me of Sasshi in a way, with Murashigessment and whatnot (though it somehow backfires when she does to Chori - or at least that one time she did it. Those set of pictures were really funny). She's also enjoyable to watch and I love her singing voice as well.
#4 - Fuchigami Mai. Maichan is really, really cute. I love looking at gifs and pics of her bc she's always smiling, and she has a unique one imo. What really got me though was that in 2011 I believe, she won an essay contest where she wrote about her mother, who passed away. So from then on, she instantly became one of my faves. So glad she got promoted.
#5 - Kumazawa Serina. Riinu is such a cutie and I remember her stating she wanted to be in senbatsu so badly. Seeing her in Wink wa Sankai made me squeal in shock because I would have never thought that would have actually come true. Like Dasu, I think of Riinu as the "Smiling Girl" of HKT. She's always smiling no matter what and never giving up, and that's one of the things I like about her. Also, she's super close with Tanochan and even buying her merchandise/fangirling over her on g+. I secretly ship them to be honest.
