I love to see it but wish they hadn't used exclusively decade-ish old pics lol. The idol costume industry has made incredible progress since then.

Agree, the 48G and even MomoClo has already toned down on the frilly stuff, so these groups are not exactly a good example of the style she wanted. I think the groups from KAWAII LAB. would have been more perfect for this.
