Why Does Mina Love Idols?
I had a hard time in high school. I had a lot of friends, but no one I was close with. I invited people to hang out and had parties, but I didn't get many invites. I also had to deal with the falling out of my middle school friends. I dealt with what most high schoolers feel: ugly, no one understand/ is like me, alone. I like idol music because it is catchy, fun to dance to, and it is happy. I feel like it fills a niche that the American industry doesn't. Idols made me feel less alone, by either distracting me by entertaining me or by providing a bit of intimacy. Japanese idols seem to exude joy and I respond to music. If I'm pissed I listen to Limp Bizkit. If I'm feeling sassy I listen to Katy Perry. If I want to be happy I listen to idol music (including Glee). &ct. It has become somewhat of a hobby; I miss when I could do something like this for the school newspaper. One thing I don't think I could live without is music. (It was confusing when I noticed that there was some variation between the 30 day idol challenges that bloggers were doing.)
