So what are they? My best guesses clockwise from the top:

Cherry???
Yangmei/Chinese bayberry
Apple? But with pink flesh for some reason
peach? But color is strange
Some type of persimmon but they're not normally that blue color, so it may be a less common Diospyros species.

Persimmon can be blue, but that picture is edited and over-saturated. They're darker and have a powder coat, like blueberries. Wouldn't be surprised if the apple picture was also edited, but they can have pink flesh.

I've eaten that apple and it actually looks like that.

So I wonder if maybe that blue ~~oran berry~~ persimmon has maybe been bred to be bluer?

I've never seen a blue Japanese persimmon but maybe it varies due to variety.
