I have yet to find two or more pictures of Linlin where she doesn’t look like a goblin. I’ve found one already. She is rather small, which is not a bad thing, but most of the time she’s frighteningly strange-looking in her facial area. I also dislike how she changes her singing voice. To this day, I’m not sure which is her real voice. Linlin has a great personality, but sometimes I feel like she is overreacting and trying to fit into the “kawaii” image too hard. I guess I just never warmed up to the 8th gen :/.

· Filed under Mano Erina, Profile, Soloist
Name: Mano Erina
Age: 17
Status: Soloist
Appearance: Cute, but awkward
Appearance considering Age: Looks younger than she is
Singing Ability: Weak, Quiet, Sweet, Clear
Personality: I wouldn’t know
Charm: 85%
Reminds me of/Resembles: GOTO MAKI
Mano Erina is one act I am anticipating. I cannot wait for her to debut, as H!P hasn’t introduced a new soloist in a while. I don’t count Kusumi as a serious soloist either. Erina shined in Ongaku Gatas, and has a sweet and girly voice. Her voice is undoubtedly nice to hear, the only problem with it is that it doesn’t sound too powerful. Kind of like Natsumi Abe’s voice. I hope Erina’s “training” period included vocal lessons, because I would love to discover that her voice has gotten stronger. I think Mano will be extremely popular, and although I don’t know much about her, I am supporting her 100 percent. She has a single out this month if I’m not mistaken, and I really hope she does well and remains a solo artist for a long time. I really believe H!P needed another one, all of the current ones are getting old and singing granny songs.
Erina resembles Goto Maki, but I hope she learns to seperate herself from the current (or ex) soloists in H!P, and become something even greater.

The profiles were only off by one, which I’m guessing is the result of Ayaka’s graduation. But they’re fixed now!
Also, I rounded ages up if the girl had a birthday coming in the next month or so.

With the addition of some H!P members and others graduating, I am 99% sure that the Member #’s I’ve been titling the profiles with are off. Additionally, some members I have already profiled have had a birthday, and are no longer the age I have profiled them as. I realize that it would be much easier to just ignore this, and that it’s even a little OCD to go back and change anything, but it’s bothering me to the point where I’m counting the members I have yet to profile almost constantly! So the #’s will probably change a bit soon :/.

Appearance: OK
Appearance considering Age: Normal
Singing Ability: I wouldn’t know
Personality: I wouldn’t know
Charm: I wouldn’t know

As she hasn’t been put into any groups, I don’t really know who this is, other than her face and name. She has cute teeth, but other than that I don’t see much to like about this girl…yet.
You can see her perform with other Eggs here, although it’s hard to get an idea of what her voice is like.

Name: Sengoku Minami
Age:17
Status: Member of Ongaku Gatas, Egg
Appearance: Pretty
Appearance considering Age: Normal
Singing Ability: OK, Not very strong
Personality: I wouldn’t know
Charm: 60%
Reminds me of/Resembles: Kazutake (of MASK), Mizuha (of Fatima)
When I saw Minami in Ongaku Gatas, I was glad. She’s very pretty, and has a sweet voice, although it is also rather dull. I don’t know much about her, but I wish she’d graduate from the Egg’s and O.G. and be moved into a new group. She is a cute girl with an OK voice, but she doesn’t get to do much. She has lighter eyes and resembles a surprisingly large amount of J-rockers, but I could only remember the names of two :/.

Name: Umeda Erika
Age: 17
Status: Member of C-ute
Appearance: Awkward, Slightly American-looking
Appearance considering Age: Normal
Singing Ability: High-Pitched, Squeaky, OK
Personality: I wouldn’t know
Charm: 30%
Reminds me of/Resembles: Weird looking American girls
I don’t pay Erika much attention, and I think I only know her name by memory because there is an Erika in V-u-den, who I somewhat like. I’m not a huge fan of Erika U.’s looks, although I know many H!P fans are. I am all for “messed up” H!P teeth, as I usually think they’re cute, but for some reason Erika’s have always bothered me. She’s certainly gotten a lot better looking over the years, if you look back at her older pictures, but she isn’t very pretty, in my opinion, at all. Her voice isn’t anything special either. Despite my overall dislike of Erika, I do wish her the best, and hope she remains in H!P for a while. She simply is not one of my favorites.
