The girls of 12th gen attempt to draw a kangaroo:


Miki's drawing looked more like a cat. Haruna, however...well, see for yourself.

And at the end she gives us a bonus derpy monomane:

It seems that Fuku-chan and Karin aren't the only H!P members who can shrink themselves, as the girls of 12th gen have also discovered the fun of forced perspective downsizing...



It would've been better if the "tiny" subjects stood further back and the ones "holding" them got closer to the camera, but I still give props for the intents and efforts.

^Takamasa Sakurai really gets what the H!P
girls are about - Sincerity!

[scorn]

Yeah I know, i am a bad MoMusu fan I still can't quite tell the 12th gen-ers apart

I see Maria the Obvious, but
-next to Maachan, is that Nonaka?
-top row, rightmost: is that Akane?
-that leaves Ogata the standing one next to other Haruna aka subleader?

I just hope leader Fukumura-sama will be forgiving

Scorn san....

100% correct!

Miki chan, with her bad ass confidence look takes center...

Miki assumes the center position:


Her wing women, Maria chan on the right,
Haruna on the left
(highest in the photo, her head just below the む),
both with their hands
on their chins, with bare midriffs......

Maria            Haruna


The most difficult one to ID(for me) is Akane chan, in the far right corner...
She is doing her best Sayu imitation...

The Sayu / Akane conundrum

The 12th gen girls were so much fun to see in person in Houston!

Poor Akane was jet-lagged and was nodding off during opening ceremonies, but the other three were excited to be there! During autographs we all had a clear view of them while the autograph line covered the older girls, so lots of appeal time and chances for them to wave at us!

Seriously, Miki's got the performance chops and her English fluency made her the easiest to talk to. Maria's an adorable ball of energy, and so is Haruna! Akane might secretly be the next Sayu perhaps?

I don't understand those who are so down on these girls when there's a lot to like about them! They still got a bright future ahead of them.

I agree. They haven't had much of a chance to shine, which is unfortunate, but there's so much potential there. This is definitely my fave full generation since 5th gen.

[J-Triumf]

I don't think it's a matter of lacking chances; Miki's been getting some good opportunities with English narration, sharing the spotlight with Maachan and Ayumi in a memorable Emotion in Motion performance, and even hosting an episode of J-Melo, while Maria has a photobook and a new modeling gig. Plus they were all fun to watch in DVD Magazine 85 with the "east vs west" games.

But I still come across folks elsewhere who insist that they bring nothing to the table and are falling way short of expectations, which just makes me wonder what the hell those people are looking for with these girls.

[shirenuファクトリー]

I mean if they were expecting a new ace, then yeah there is no ace like Rihotan there. It doesn't mean these girls aren't solid members though. Maybe they are new fans or have a short memory of how other gens started out, including legends like 6th gen. And maybe the worst critics haven't seen these girls perform live, in person lol. Only Haga is less impressive on stage, but she's young and her charm is of the quiet kind anyway. It's a bit strange that someone like Maria isn't pushed more because her looks are strong, but maybe the agency is waiting to find their new ace to go all-out with.
