I must admit .... I love them wearing the 5th's costume.
The 5th costume really gives them a solid aura.
Among all the pictures, The pure snow white really ampifly them

I'm so pleased with this mv concept (looks like it was "a little" inspired by Alice in Wonderland right? e.g. one bottle labeled "Drink me" ^^)
And the music is so catchy, it'll surely echo in my head for the next days

Spoiler: regarding that battle

IMO Otoshima is the princess, Otani is the girlfriend.
Emiri's cute, beautiful, [attractive] and with her characteristic behavior she makes you (at least me) smash that "protect her with everything you got" button by nature.

 

I read an article that was an interview with the girls. It was about their growth since Bokura no Seifuku Christmas.

When talking about their characters / personalities that would make them stand out to fans, Mirinya said that back then, she wanted to be the one that was considered 'the cutest one', but now that role is more with Naatan. Mirinya herself is more like the fashion one now. She puts effort into her instagram because of his.

Risa said something like she didn't really know what character to go for, but doesn't everyone want to be like a princess? So she's happy she has that role now.

Naatan said she agrees with Mirinya, but she feels shy about being 'the cute one.' However, it's best to feel confident with your role within the group, so she will even ask other members "Am I cute today?" Other members said in the past it was enough to say "yes, you're cute," but now Naatan needs them to say a specific thing about her that looks cute

I don't have the link anymore but I know =LOVE's official twitter retweeted it.

 

I think Risa was saying she wanted to be called Hime by the hosts in the latest episode of Aiseru ka. She also said that princess was too long so to just stick to Hime.

 

Another 'Poison Girl' video from Mirinya, this time dancing with Anna and Iori:
