Psychologically (I took AP psych last year... haha was obsessed with it) speaking, the more familiar with something you become, the more you'll like it- just like if a song plays enough on the radio, you'll "get used to it" enough to like it or like it more than another, unfamiliar song that also doesn't match your taste. (haha does that make sense? It did in my head, but it's not sounding too clear on the screen) Anyway, I have to agree- when I was first introduced to MM, I totally HATED Sayu. And then I got around to watching audition tapes (felt a little sorry for her, and could see that she DID try her hardest, suck as she might), and yeah, the fact that she's just so frickin' pretty does help a lot too. Same thing happened with Koha- I could not STAND her with her squeaky solo songs, but when her graduation came (she's the first one to graduate since I joined fandom- yeah, I'm a latecomer) I was shedding tears just like everyone else. Anyway, on a slightly off topic tangent: I can totally relate to the whole idea of "creating a blog about idols, which you're not really supposed to think deeply about, and then proceeding to analyze their every move on said blog", since I just wrote this huge rambling review of HSJ's new album, dissecting it track by track. And lo and behold one comment called me out on calling the boys "underage" (in reference to the fact that they were singing a rather provocative song) and yamada ryosuke "prepuebescent" (in reference to the fact that fangirls spazzed over him as though he's a grown man) at age 15. In my head I was thinking... lol I wasn't really thinking all that hard about that when I wrote it... because I was writing something about IDOLS... but people take this seriously. XD.
