Hair Vegetables

The Hair Vegetables (ヘアーベジタボーズ) are onions, potatoes and beets that appear in Rhythm Tweezers.

Physical Appearance
The onions are yellow. They have big noses, big eyes with small pupils, whiskers, and big lips. They have darker yellow, vertical stripes over their bodies.

The beets are light purple (brown in the arcade version) with swirly patterns. Yet again, they share the same facial features as the previously mentioned vegetable.

Lastly, the potatoes are light brown with spots over them. They have the same eyes, noses, whiskers, and lips as the onions.

Their colors change to purple, light green and grey, respectively, in Rhythm Datsumō 2.

Backstory
There is an old man who grows these vegetables. When the vegetables started growing hair, their price dropped and he was in big trouble. Plucking the hairs proved to be a difficult task, until one day, he decided to play music. He says that playing the music actually helped a ton, and made the plucking enjoyable.

In Crop Stomp, the Stomp Farmer collects the vegetables by stomping them out of the ground. Once they are picked, they get their hairs plucked off in Rhythm Tweezers. After that, the vegetables are eaten. Potatoes and onions are used in soup. Although it takes a lot of work to prepare the vegetables, they are very healthy. Their skins contain a lot of nutrients.

In Cheer Readers, one of the images the girls show is of an onion. In Cheer Readers 2, another image shows the vegetables as they appear in Crop Stomp. In Wake-Up Caller, a green onion with flowers on top can sometimes appear instead of a flower.

In Machine Remix, the onions gain the appearence of light bulbs.

Purpose
In Rhythm Tengoku, the Hair Vegetables appear in the second minigame, Rhythm Tweezers. Together, they help to teach the player about copying rhythms in the first Simon-Says based game in the franchise. They also make the player follow some very fast rhythms, and use the D-Pad for the first time.
