How to Rank Your Favorite Idols: A Guide to Arranging Your Top 11 Picks

Question from a reader:
I’d like to see the order of my favorite 11 groups: Tsuruzaki Jinshin, Sato Yuu, Kasayama Saki, Matsuo Ran, Iida Izuki, Takami Rika, Oono Keiko, Kuramori Kokona, Sakai Rian, Yamamoto Yuuha, and Oota Kotsuki. How should I go about this?

The Joy of Considering Your Favorites’ Order

Recently, while chatting with friends about the collaboration between “Hinatazaka46’s
5th generation” and “ME:I,” a variety of feelings came to mind. I especially remember feeling a sense of excitement when I saw the names of Tsuruzaki Jinshin and Sato Yuu.

In response to a reader’s question, there was a request to arrange the 11 idols in order of preference. This is actually quite interesting! Thinking about who I like the most is a great opportunity to reaffirm my own tastes and preferences. For instance, the moment I saw Oota Kotsuki’s duo name, the differences in their personalities came to mind, and I felt that both are incredibly charming. Particularly, Ebiwara Kotsuki’s performances always entertain me, and thinking about her pairing with Oota Mizuki feels like a special combination. Additionally, Matsuo Ran and Sato Yuu are wonderful as well. Matsuo Sakura’s energetic character paired with Ishii Ran’s calm demeanor creates a perfect balance that warms my heart when I watch them. Their interactions feel like a fun conversation between friends, and I can’t help but smile.

Moments of Recognizing Individual Differences

I also enjoy the performances of Kasayama Saki and Tsuruzaki Jinshin; their unique qualities make every moment enjoyable. In particular, when I see Kasayama’s bright smile, I can’t help but smile back. In those moments, I wish to be someone who can brighten the atmosphere around me like she does. On the other hand, I can’t overlook the duo of Sakai Rian and Yamamoto Yuuha. Their sense of humor is truly remarkable, and I often find myself thinking, “How did they come up with that?”

Who Are Your Favorites?

So, what do you all think? Arranging your favorites is fun, but it also has its dilemmas. Each one is so appealing, making it difficult to choose! I’ve found myself reconsidering multiple times. (Laughs) If you’d like, please share your order of favorites or any memorable episodes in the comments. I think it would be even more enjoyable if we could discuss our favorite idols together!
