The majority of my past explanations for ranking are reserved for AKB and Morning Musume, so with the exception of Michishige Sayumi I don't think people are aware of my preferences. (If you look at earlier posts two major themes appear for Morning Musume: I love Shige, but dislike Takahashi Ai.)
10. Ikuta Erina (MM)
I have a sweet spot for the cute girls. She stuck out to me as likely to pass through the auditions. I was concerned when I saw her close-up shots from her first PV shoot because she seemed uncomfortable or at least awkward. She appears to be more confident now. It also was a good sign when Shige took her under her wing. She just looks like she is a nice, quirky girl. I like quirky.
9. Mitsui Aika (MM)
She is the most unappreciated member of Morning Musume. I liked her right away because she seemed to have this feisty, like a little puppy, aura. I began to adore her after watching subbed clips of one of their DVDs. (That whole segment makes me smile.) I like how her voice sounds. The sad thing is that I am a bit particular about hair, it just has to look good. Unfortunately, someone insists on doing sub-par work with her hair. The above photo I think is perfect. I also find the sibling relationship between Reina and Aika charming. I don't know if it is a matter of her not getting pushed like she did when she first joined, or if she needs to work harder. (I enjoy watching her in concerts.) Then again, I no longer follow them as closely as before. I am disappointed that the western fans are quite cruel to her, often saying she looks old and such.
8. Tsugunaga Momoko (Berryz)
Her character has changed a bit, she moved into the comedy side where Sayumin has been carrying the torch for H!P. (I know I keep on changing her nickname = Michishige). For one she is a definite ace. Another one of her charms is that she has a nice butt, it isn't flat. I can understand why people dislike her, for the same reason they don't care for Sayumin, because of her character. But as a reminder, that isn't her so treat it like a character. Did I mention she is a college student?
7. Natsuyaki Miyabi (Berryz)
Miyabi has sky rocketed in my ranking partly due to her chopping off her hair. I think it looks best if it doesn't reach her shoulders. She is another Berryz ace. I guess her character is the nice girl. She doesn't really have a distinctive character, maybe girl-next-door or natural.
6. Suzuki Airi (C-ute)
There goes the last member of Buono. They are all aces in H!P, which is why Buono is so popular. They just all perform well and have star qualities. I don't know why, but if I had to pick a center for Buono it would be Airi. It could be her look. Shock by C-ute was a great song (click link for lolz). I've never seen her look bad.
5. Fukumura Mizuki (MM)
Honestly, I didn't understand why she was added as part of the 9th generation. She just didn't look like anything special. However, since watching her she has become my favorite of that generation. I guess I'm drawn to the natural character, nice girls. She is also quite pretty. I hope she gets more screen time.
4. Hagiwara Mai (C-ute)
I think she is really pretty, maybe more than Airi. She reminds me of teenage Dakota Fanning. It is hard to explain why I like some of these girls, because I naturally gravitate to them. They stick out to me/ they catch my eye.
3. Tanaka Reina (MM)
She is one of the few members in Morning Musume with a clear character/ role in the group. She is the 'lone-wolf', stylish one. That is the reason why she is fun to watch. Tsunku was right about her being the ideal; she never ages! She has been consistently a strong member.
2. Sugaya Risako (Berryz)
She may not have the strongest vocals, but I adore the sound of her voice. It reminds me of a roar. It is distinct and I think it is a good quality to have. If you don't have strong vocals then it is best to have a unique sound. I also enjoy her attitude; it is not a bad one, but a sassy one. I guess I like confidence and people to have fun while performing. Plus, boobs. I'm sorry (it isn't the only thing I like but it is a bonus). Oh, and she is average sized! (which probably contributes to my previous point.) I'm not that big of a pervert, I swear. . . okay no I am. I am a college student; you can only think about sex once you enter high school. (sorry I did that tangent thing again.) She has the X factor that makes me incapable of not watching her.
1. Michishige Sayumi (MM)
Yeah, I'm predictable aren't I. I prefer her 'I'm cute' character over Momo's, so I like watching her on variety shows. She is actually really sweet if you read her blog. I've pretty much have written all I can say about her. (look at previous posts where her name is tagged.) She never disappoints me. If only v-u-den turned out well. (I thought they were a good arrangement.)
