The new Morning Musume!

A bunch of cuties. IIRC Homare did ballet, Rio claimed to have some singing ability, so we have a dancer and a singer in the new girls. Mei won "best character" award in KSS recitals, and seems to speak English as well.

Good crop, it looks like, nice to get all-new girls once in a while, too.

Rio stood out the most for me. When her name was announced, I thought it was Ryou Kitagawa who was formerly a Hokkaido Kenshuusei.

Quote from: yumaa from H! O

She’s one to keep an eye on - After stating her golf level, Eripon said “Oh thank goodness, it’s below mine”
And she replied with “But the uniform looks better on me”
