Question from a reader:
Recently, groups like Snow Man, SixTONES, and Naniwa Danshi have become extremely popular with women. What do you think about Meguro Ren? He certainly has a beautiful face, but I can’t see any special charm in him… Some people even wonder, “Is this really an idol?” It seems that the old Johnny’s brand still holds strong, right?
In comparison, I think actor Nakagawa Taishi is cooler. How do you all feel about this?
Considering the Charm and Individuality of Idols
Recently, groups like Snow Man, SixTONES, and Naniwa Danshi have gained immense popularity, especially with the beauty of Meguro Ren becoming a hot topic. However, there are certainly people questioning his charm. I can somewhat relate to that sentiment. Idols are not just about looks; their personality and character are important too.
My First Idol Event
The first time I attended an idol event was when a friend invited me. I felt nervous walking into the venue, only to be overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the fans. It was particularly touching to see fans passionately discussing their favorite idols. Through their support and discussions about the idols’ charms, I sensed the deep bonds forming among the fans. During the event, I also learned about the various opinions regarding Meguro Ren and other idols. Judging based solely on appearance might be a waste. Many people likely became fans after seeing his voice, performance, and genuine self on variety shows.
The Importance of Individuality
I understand the opinion that Nakagawa Taishi is attractive. He plays a wide range of roles as an actor, and his acting skills and presence are indeed overwhelming. However, idols and actors are expected to fulfill different roles. Idols need to maintain a sense of closeness and approachability with their fans, and how they express their individuality within that framework is crucial. Personally, I believe everyone has their own preferences. Whether someone feels the charm of an idol can change based on their background and upbringing. It’s also understandable that more fans are drawn to idols through social media and YouTube. By getting to know not just their appearance but their overall persona, we may find ourselves liking them even more.
