Wu-san’s Berryz Koubou Ranking.

I’m back writing for Zush, is basically what this is. I couldn’t be happier in all honesty. This place used to be a great hangout for sure, and I miss it. Speaking solely for the forum, I made many good net friends on here, and many sadly have moved on to other things. Life has a way of, well, getting in the way. I haven’t been on the forum myself for a good few months either. Bummer.

Anyway, I’m back and hopefully Zush will be also, in some not too distant future. I know his –Berryz Kobo International blog’ is doing well to find it’s feet, and that’s fantastic.

Speaking of Berryz Koubou then, I’m going to attempt a blog post on them. Considering I know very little – still – about the group, this should be interesting. Perhaps for the wrong reasons. Anyway, it’s an excuse to study up on my BK in the up and coming months.

I suppose I should start with my members ranking. Don’t expect anything substantial though, I mean, I make it a mission not to take notice of Yurina. Not the best of starts.

1. Miyabi – I call her –MiMi’, and I have no idea if it’s an accepted nickname already, but it’s pretty cute I think. Reminds me of something cuddly but sexy and, well, just plain sexy. Funnily, I don’t think of Miyabi as physically all that attractive. She’s got a long face which is just terrifying really. When her hair isn’t going all mental the proportions seem less odd however, and just like an old school friend who had a massive chin worthy of it’s own fan club, once he started to grow a little, the rest of his face compensated for his awkward looking noggin. He still looks like a douche though, whereas Miyabi is just, Mimi. Wonderful.

After watching a few – two – DVD magazines, I knew Miyabi was my number one straight away. She was laid back, considerate as an idol, and just genuinely easy to get on with. At least that’s how I–m guessing. I love it when she gets all flustered and appears awkward. Simply, I find that very attractive. She’s up at the top because I can see myself dating her. She’d make me very happy anyway. You kind of see how my fandom works here. There you have it. Miyabi rocks my socks, and Zush will say –I told you so’.

2. Chinami – She’s just awesome really. A bit of a comedian and always willing to talk and host and jive and, everything. A real dynamic quality about her, for sure. She’s got an awkward look about her too, and sometimes she looks completely away from herself which I find odd, but certainly interesting.

I find her very physically appealing. Very, very much so. Her squinty smile should be a little off-putting, especially when she bites her lips with her teeth, but I just love it. Her voice is something I cant begin to comprehend either. Clearly, I have no idea what I’m on about, which was always part of the fun with my learning about Morning Musume.

3. Saki – Adorable, this girl. I love how she wears her hair, and whilst it’s nothing beyond conventional, much like her looks actually, I totally dig it. A leader who I’ve yet to see do anything. I’m willing to wait around on this one. Beyond that, you’ll find no other reason for my liking her at this point.

4. Momoko – Cute, and deceptively good at singing – to a point – Momo is always going to be hard to ignore. The end. For now.

5. Risako – My mother would adore Rii to no end. I just know it. That strangely means a lot to me, and I’ve let my mind wonder into the land of dreams on that one. My mother passing down anecdotes to Rii of my childhood whilst they go about bonding over some home made cooking. Anyway, Rii’s got old fashioned looks – and a mushroom nose – which my mother would want me to marry into. I think she’s trying to get –her’ perfect grandchildren you see. Probably wouldn’t work out too well if I had my way and started dating OG’s Mika. Ha! Yes, I’m the Mika fan club. Just me.

I really hate Rii’s singing voice. Not to say she cant sing of course, but I just don’t like the tone. I still cant believe she was born in 1994. I mean, what the hell? That’s certainly more dangerous than Momusu’s Aika. She’s at 5 because although I could grow to love her, I’m not there yet. Not by a long shot.

6. Maasa – I don’t like her.

7. Yurina – This is actually very bizarre. She reminds me of an old friend back in Malaysia. I haven’t seen her since forever, of course, and who knows what the hell she’s up to now. All I know is, I really, really liked my friend back in Malaysia, and whilst any memory of her is of only a few, they’re vivid and slightly hallowing. Yurina looks like her, quite a bit actually. I just don’t want go there to be honest. It’s totally unfair on Yurina, but god . . . I just don’t want to go there.

There you have it. My rankings. Simple and akin back to my blogging style back in 2005. I guess this is how I write when I don’t know what the f*** I’m talking about. Fun times.
