Ranking

[Gerald]

OK, here's the opinion you've all been waiting for <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/hmph.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hmph:' />



1 Ai, she's beautiful, talented with a sweet personality.



2 Risa, attractive when she's not doing duck impersonations, good singer and I have no problem with her personality.



3 Sayumi, she's grown a lot on me since I read some of her blogs and she's attractive.



4 Reina, I concur with the comments about her voice, it can be annoyingly nasal these days. Again no problem with her personality.





That's it, Aika has left no impression on me....no wait, she has a good short term memory, such an important asset in an idol <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... lleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':rolleyes:' />.



The new lot, still don't know their names or which is which and so far don't want to make any more efforts to try.

I used to like Reina quite a bit more. But then again, she's a shadow of her former self. WTF happened to her voice??

[/quote]



Oh my god! I had actually forgotten how good she was. She used to be way up on my list too.

[/quote]



Ugh, yes. I had forgotten that she used to not squeek every time she sang. She sounds like a completely different person there. Also - hahaha fat Yossi, I forgot about her too. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... >/rofl.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />

[freezingkiss]

^ Fat yossi was hot, or maybe I should say 'not as skinny as she is now Yossi is hot' xD. She'd started to lose a bunch of the weight here. Wasn't this around the time of her '18' photobook? She looked smokin in that.

[eri]

Current averages. If you left someone out, I put them on the bottom of your list. If you had two girls tied but named one first, I put her first on the ranking. For Turtles' ominous omissions, I scored Aika as 5th and all the other girls got bottom rank tied.





Most popular to least popular.

Yes, I did sit and put these into an excel spread sheet. Procrastination, yeah!

[eri]

That looks cool.



Actually this one looks cooler. This should be our bbs banner <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

[Ap2000]

Interesting, but Reina's number/place is not correct in the overall ranking.

Also, my votes should weight more. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /noway.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':noway:' />

When all is finished, I'll calculate standard deviations and all that fun stuff. I can't remember how to do it on excel though. Its been a long time since Ive done the maths <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hawhaw.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hawhaw:' /> <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... hawhaw.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':hawhaw:' />



Oh yeah, didn't we do this a long time ago via our ages? Like, we assumed younger fans liked the newer gens and older fans preferred OG era? That might be an interesting variable to plot too. But, I don't want to procrastinate that much...

1. Michishige Sayumi - It feels so weird to me that she's my favourite Musume now. She's been at the bottom of my rankings for most of my fandom. Then she started a blog and I realized she's awesome. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /dance.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dance:' />
2. Tanaka Reina
3. Sayashi Riho - I should probably see more of 9th gen before ranking her so high but I love what we've seen of her so far.
4. Mitsui Aika
5. Takahashi Ai
6. Fukumura Mizuki
7. Niigaki Risa - I used to love Risa years ago, but she started getting annoying.
8. Suzuki Kanon
9. Ikuta Erina

[Nicky]

My top 9



1. Michishige Sayumi - ever since she started her blog she's been going wayyyy up in my ranking

2. Suzuki Kanon - Loved this girl since I saw her audition. She's so cheerful and positive.

3. Sayashi Riho - because of her insane dancing skills.

4. Mitsui Aika - she's started growing on me, I don't know why

5. Niigaki Risa - I like her voice, but that's where it ends

6. Takahashi Ai - My liking for her somewhat renewed when I saw her dancing in the bits and pieces of Maji desu ka suka I've seen

7. Ikuta Erina - no idea why she's ranked here but I like her for some reason

8. Tanaka Reina - Her voice has become too whiny and I don't feel like she's improving on any level, sadly enough

9. Fukumura Mizuki - for some reason this girl remains almost invisible to my eye. May it will change when I see how she does during the spring tour.

Hahaha "TMNT" I didn't realize you could do that with the 5&6 gen names. Funny they could only do this after the "kame" left.

[neshcom]

1) Aika - My lovely granny mean girl. SPUNKY.

2) Riho - She's got so much potential. I'm betting on her.

3) Takahashi - She's really the main crutch of MM. I forget, is she slated to graduate? Or was that Wei and JunLin?

4) Sayu - Sayu's a great character. I believe she'll be the fodder for the next MM controversy.

5) Kanon - (she was the funny one, right?) I think she'll be another big personality contender. Screw the dancing and singing. That'll come.

6) Reina - She can dance. She can sing. Okay.

7) Erina/ 8) Mizuki - They've got dance moves, I guess, but they're dull right now. They beat out Daffy because they've got a future.

20000) Risa - QUACKQUACKQUACKQUACK



Also, shouldn't those graphs be bars instead of lines? Because the data isn't over time?

[Pflaume]

Jeez, this was actually really hard. I basically used KoKo's "Whose Youtube video would I click on?" test.



1. Kanon - I know it's too early to name her my favorite, but she's just so... <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

2. Sayumi - I believe that there's a caring baby under all that self-centeredness. Sometimes I worry she's for real, though.

3. Ai - Even though she isn't particularly thrilling in interviews or whatever, she's incredibly talented and ridiculously pretty ( <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' />). She also has her weird moments, which I appreciate.

4. Aika - Man, what happened? I used to LOVE Aika. I think I may be getting over the bitter act.

5. Riho - Promising, but we'll see. Potentially Reina 2.0, which means it'll take me 7 years to warm up to her.

6. Risa - I don't dislike you, Risa. I really don't. Whip your hurr and shake them haters off.

7. Mizuki - She's pleasant enough, but she's just a blank slate.

8. Reina - I don't dislike Reina nearly as much as I used to, but I still wouldn't seek out more opportunities to watch her.

9. Erina - She is like a foreground photobomb. She just ruins EVERY PICTURE.

[Kago]

I've been lurking and am emerging merely to give a bump to my disliked girls <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />



1. Michishige. Once she got a steady gig on variety television and opened a blog, my love of her shot up and hasn't really waned. She's conceited but you can tell she half believes it and half thinks it's bull and her snark is refreshing.

2. Sayashi Riho. She's adorable and I can't stop watching her. Talented and an ace and I'm excited to see more of her.

3. Mitsui Aika. Yes, Aika. I've loved her since the audition but her complete push to the background and terrible hair have made her drop a little. She's so endearing.

4. Suzuki Kanon. She's just so HAPPY. It makes me happy.

5. Takahashi. She's pretty. And she's a great performer. And I don't hate her. After all these years she feels sort of like that distant cousin that you want to contact once in a while but don't really care either way.

6. Mizuki. I'm neutral on her but she's talented.

7. Ikuta Erina. Same thing as Mizuki. I don't know her personality yet, which doesn't make me dislike her. Unlike the last two.

8. Niigaki Risa. Almost a decade in and I can tolerate her now. She's still incredibly fake but she does seem to genuinely care about the group and the new girls, so she gets bumped out of last for that.

9. Tanaka Reina. Why is she a front girl? Her fashion is terrible and tacky, her personality is cocky and tries too hard, and her voice is somehow much worse than when she joined. I'm tired of her and I'm sick of seeing her and I wish she'd disappear for a while. The winking needs to end. You are not cute.

[showraniy]

I don't hate any of them. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... mellow.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':mellow:' /> That's... weird. Kicking Koharu out ruined my hating anyone.

Bwahahaha! I honestly cackled like a madman when I read that.

It's true though. I've only seen a couple decent pictures where she doesn't look scared, sad, or in pain.

9)Erina - My hate for her is like Al's hate for Koharu. I wanna slap the awkward of her face.

[maiZe]

Oh how I love to rank members!



My top 3 are definite favourites for me. There is no doubt in the order of their ranking.



1. Takahashi Ai - She's been my #1 MM girl since Rika graduated, and my love for her has been ridiculous since Souda! We're Alive. I find her adorably quirky and not the slightest bit boring. Beautiful voice, gorgeous looks, and wonderful dancer... What more could I ask for? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /happy.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='^_^' />

2. Niigaki Risa - I have a soft spot for the gokkies. I'm not fond of her current hairstyle, and am impatiently waiting for her hair to grow out. But this girl is gorgeous too (Isshun *dies*). And while when she first joined, I couldn't handle her singing, her voice grew on me once I heard/ saw her solo video of Furusato.

3. Sayashi Riho - She was having troubles with the high notes of Maji Desu Ka Ska, but overall I'm liking what I've heard of her voice. And can this girl ever dance! ... And she's cute as a button! Makes me so happy whenever I see her. XD



The next 4 are in the middle hovering... Rankings can switch depending on my mood of the day.



4. Fukumura Mizuki

5. Michishige Sayumi - Wasn't a huge fan of hers for many years... But after watching Eri's graduation DVD, a love for Sayu began to grow.

6. Tanaka Reina

7. Suzuki Kanon - People are loving her smile... But it kinda freaks me out. o_O



And my bottom 2 are definitely my bottom 2 - not much interest in them.



8. Mitsui Aika - Sadly, I've never been able to warm up to her... And at concerts, I find she tends to butcher classic moments that really should not be allowed to be butchered (ex. Rika's "Hoi!" in Renai Revolution 21). That's not to say I hate Aika. I'm just not that interested in her.

9. Ikuta Erina - It's early in the game for her. Maybe she'll grow on me. But I've never been one to love the underdogs just because they're underdogs. Again, this isn't me saying I don't like Eripon... But it was really amusing to watch her have trouble with that "step-slap your butt" bit during concert rehearsals in the latest Bijo Gaku.



lol. I talk too much. XD

[Tsujiji]

This changes for me depending on my mood but here it is.



(1) Aika

(2) Sayumi (f'n bitch clawed her way to the top for me! <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... dammit.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':dammit:' /> SHE USED TO BE MY MOST DISLIKED)

(3) Kanon (In all honestly, if Kanon keeps up her awesomeness she might overthrow Aika~~ )

(4) Ai

(5) Riho

(6) Mizuki

(7) Erina

(8) Reina

(9) Risa









Also I don't hate Risa by any means. She's just really took a dive on the list over the years. I really liked her a lot when she was the awkward, bangless, froggie sounding, wise-ass in the group when she was little. Over the years her personality got washed over by new image, Disney-humping, mature Risa~~~ She always plays it safe (read ONE entry of her blog and you've read it all) and just stop trying for a personality ....I STILL LIKE HER....Just less so over the years. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... smooch.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='=3=' />

I lol'd so hard at that nickname, 4realz.

End of March stats:

High score of "9" for most popular and low score of "1" for least popular.

Average score for each girl in order of most popular to least:



6.84375 Michishige Sayumi

6.8125 Takahashi Ai

6.53125 Sayashi Riho

5.25 Suzuki Kanon

4.40625 Mitsui Aika

4.375 Niigaki Risa

4.25 Fukumura Mizuki

3.28125 Tanaka Reina

3.0625 Ikuta Erina





And while we might see some generalized idea of who is overall loved and who isn't, what this really says is everyone is kind of in the middle. Here are some interesting graphs:



Takahashi and Erina are "generally" liked and disliked across the board:





But middle-range Kanon and Aika are very polarizing - lots of ups and downs across the board:

ps - if, for any reason, you really want to see your favorite member graphed or see a comparison graph, I will post it. However, I'm going on a trip tomorrow and won't be back for a week or so. Also, I'm going to delete all the data in a few weeks so ask now if you must.

[Pucchi-Mo]

It's funny how your 9th gen chart includes the approximate concert merch colors, but not given to the correct girl.

[al kusanagi]

Poor Erina. Reina deserves to be hated but that little girl hasn't done anything to earn our loathing yet.
