My recent feelings on 9-10ki's potential as idols:
Riho > Ayumi = Masaki > Erina > Haruka = Haruna > Fuku > Zukki

Riho is well, Riho. Many complain about her personality in the west, but I think Riho is just an introvert and the group needs an introvert or two, because a lot of people like them or identify with them. Besides that, she just needs to learn to control her voice a bit which I expect her to learn with time.

Ayumi's singing has improved a lot. If she opens up in variety shows (she seems to be tense and without her usual smile in the recent kurobara) and learns to project feelings in her voice, she'll be top tier. She rocks her performances and is a cute, though still way too tense, midget overall.

Masaki was the super-improver girl in the auditions, and I'm happy to see this attitude & effort didn't end at her getting in. She already dances quite sharp, her singing is constantly improving and her voice seems versatile since she can pull off both cutesy and deeper voices. Besides that her character makes her interesting to watch & listen to. Let's just hope she grows up well.

Erina's singing is still bad, but she's come out of her shell and her dancing is getting fierce. She doesn't deserve lines, but she does deserve screen time, preferably lots of it. Besides that she's turning into a real beauty, I'd love a PB. Let's just hope she doesn't develop into an obnoxious, Momochi-style character.
