Question from a reader:
Recently, groups like Snow Man, SixTONES, and Naniwa Danshi have become popular among women. What do you think about Meguro Ren? While he has a beautiful face, some might not feel a special charm about him. There are even people who wonder, “Is this really an idol?” It seems that the old Johnny’s brand still holds strong,
doesn’t it? Personally, I think actor Nakagawa Taishi is cooler. How do you all feel about this?
About Idols and Their Charm
It’s clear that groups like Snow Man, SixTONES, and Naniwa Danshi are gaining popularity. Specifically regarding Meguro Ren, while he is said to have a beautiful appearance, there are those who don’t feel a unique charm about him. Indeed, the appeal of an idol is not solely based on looks; it heavily relies on their personality and performance as well. Personally, when I support idols or actors, I prioritize their inner charm.
The Influence of the Old Johnny’s Brand
I believe the influence of the old Johnny’s brand remains strong. There are many long-time fans, and the media exposure that comes from being part of Johnny’s is a privilege that other groups don’t have. I remember going to concerts with friends in the past, and the energy and sense of unity there were unforgettable. The cheers and support from fans create a powerful energy, wrapping the entire venue in a sense of togetherness that is truly moving.
The Diversity of Preferences
However, preferences really do vary from person to person. As noted in user comments, I agree that “there are many handsome individuals who are overlooked based on looks alone.” Recently, I watched a variety show featuring an actor I had never heard of before, and I was drawn to his humor and personality. Initially, I had judged solely based on appearance, but getting to know him revealed a charm that made me want to support him.
The Futility of Comparison
I believe that comparisons like “XX is better than YY” are ultimately meaningless. There’s no need to impose our favorites on others; it’s important to respect individual tastes. In my conversations with friends, it’s common to have differing opinions, but each difference often leads to new discoveries, making it a really enjoyable experience. It’s precisely because our preferences and values differ that conversations become richer.
Share Your Thoughts
As such, opinions on idols and actors are diverse, and it’s clear that everyone has their own preferences. Discussing what we love can be both fun and stimulating. What do you all think? If you have stories about your favorite idols or actors, or recommendations for shows, please share them in the comments. I’d love for us to share our experiences and have a fun conversation!
