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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.)
