I can't believe today is Morning Musume 10th generation and Sexy Zone's 1 year anniversary! ^-^ Time goes by so fast....I feel like they both improved and will continue to improve. :)
I'm gonna start with the 10th generation. I remember a year ago, feeling so excited to see who passed and I couldn't wait but that day eventually came somewhat quickly. I remember going on my computer and going on TokyoGraph feeling super excited. When I first saw the result, I was super disappoint. Why was I feeling disappointed? Because my favorite finalist Sara Murakami didn't pass. A lot of people wanted her to pass because she was a good singer and I believe the 10th generation audition was to look for someone who can replace Takahashi Ai after she graduated. I knew Kudou Haruka would make it because she has a husky voice and I'm sure Tsunku liked her. I was somewhat expecting Iikubo Haruna to make it even though I didn't really like her back then but I wanted someone who was a little older than 12-13 years old to make it. I wasn't really expecting Ayumi Ishida or Masaki Sato to make it since I was so focused Sara Murakami to be a member. I felt upset then about the result and wrote that on this blog how I was feeling. Now, I really like the 10th generation and I'm glad those are the girls who got chosen to join Morning Musume. I really like Haruna and Ayumi because of their personalities and I think they're really pretty. Even though Haruna isn't a very good dancer yet, I'm sure she will improve overtime. And Ayumi, I started liking her when I saw this video of them promoting their concert tour T-shirts and she couldn't stop laughing for some reason and I found that really funny. She has potential and I want to continue seeing them grow into wonderful young ladies :)
Next up, Sexy Zone! ^-^ As some you guys know, those guys and the 10th generation were announced on the same day. When they were first announced, I had no particular interest in them because I was so focused on the 10th generation members plus I didn't really know 60% of the members and I wasn't really interested in B.I Shadow. But occasionally I would look them up online and look at the members profile to see what they were like. I unfortunately didn't know 3 of the members(Sato, Matsushima, Marius) because they were so new and I haven't been keeping up with the latest Juniors.(I only knew the popular Juniors from 2009. Morimoto Shintaro, Hip Hop JUMP, B.I Shadow etc) I was first interested in Sato Shori after seeing him on Yan Yan JUMP and thought he was cute lol. I was happy when I figured out that he was the dude who I thought was cute(didn't know his name till I found him in one of my magazines lol) got chosen to debut.
But I really didn't get interested in them till they were on Music Station. I was curious to see what they're debut song was like. When I first heard it, I was surprised how high the song was for a guy song. I also found it surprisingly catchy. I started to really like the song and I decided to buy their song at Kinokuniya the next time I went there when I figured out they're song wasn't selling as well as I thought it would. They only had the limited versions so I bought the D version. I really like that version but I really wanted the instrumentals so I ended up asking some people if I can use it. I really regretted not asking some of my relatives in Japan if they can get it for me but I was too embarrassed to tell them I liked them. I was embarrassed to even tell my parents. I ended memorizing the song in a month(still have it memorized) and some of the choreography.
As for the members, I tried to chose the members by their personalities rather than they're looks because I didn't want to chose someone just by their looks like I did for Hey! Say! JUMP. Again, I was first interested in Shori so I liked him first but Marius ended up growing on me(love the little fella! ^^) and I felt like I chose him personality wise rather than looks(he is only a kid so yeah...) At first I didn't like him and I honestly didn't understand why people said he was cute. But at the same time, I was concerned on what kind of fan-base he might have. I was concerned that he might have a fanbase of a bunch of people older than him(Even I'm older than him, I certainly don't look like it plus I'm only a few years older so yeah...) But as I was watching the PV making, Johnnys Jr land, I started to learn a lot of things about that including reading magazines and I started to like him, When I first showed Sexy Zone to my mom, she was like, "oh you like Marius?" and I was thinking how old do you think I am?? lol. Anyways, I think Marius is a very interesting kid and I can see some stardom in this kid. :) As for the other members, I love them all! ^-^ They're all awesome and even though I got super upset when they're 2nd single was on the same day as Renai Hunter, they're still awesome! XD I hope all of them will keep on doing well and I will likely continue to support them! ^-^
