Holy crap this was tough to do!
Well I knew my first choice easily enough. I know that Yuko is my number 1 without even having to think about it but picking the other 5 girls was really tough. I had a shortlist of about 12 who I was having a heck of a time deciding between. Finally decided though and here's my choices (In no particular order after Yuko cause I couldn't choose between the other 5):
Oshima Yuko: My number 1. I love her. She is a perfect mix of crazy, sexy and fun
I could find a thousand reasons why I love her, like her personality, confidence in front of the camera, comedic ability, perviness, and well, I'll stop there
Oh, and did I mention that she's totally gorgeous too
Miyazaki Miho: Myao was one of the first girls I noticed when I got into AKB. She stood out to me because of her strong personality and her comedy style. Her style of comedy is actually kinda similar to mine. I also love how a lot of the time she just seems to take control of conversations or games. She might not be the most popular girl but whenever she's with a group of girls just messing around in front of the camera she often puts herself front and center. She really makes me smile with her strength and silliness. And she doesn't try to be cute or sexy, despite that many of her idol counterparts do. She seems very natural.
Takahashi Minami: Takamina was another girl that caught my eye very early onto my fandom. So small yet so full of energy and power. She has a real strength in everything she does. I love hearing her sing and I love seeing her in front of the camera. And she just seems so friendly too. I don't know what it is about her but she just seems like she could be friends with everyone. Plus I really have to mention her laugh. She has my number 1 favourite laugh in the whole idol world!
I honestly could listen to her laugh for hours. I just absolutely love her laugh.
Sashihara Rino: It might be odd that Sasshi is on my top 6 when I can't really explain why I love her. She's one of those girls where there's just something about her that I love and I can't explain why. Sorry if anyone was hopeful for a reason but I can't give one. Yet I just knew she had to be on my list.
Watanabe Mayu: For one thing, Mayuyu's pairing with Yuko ensured that she got my attention and placed her within my list of favourite members. And once I started to pay attention to her I just began to like her more and more. She's super cute but she also has that naughty streak that I love. I'll never forget her and Rabutan facing off in the Shukan special in the swimming center where they had to hurl insults at each other. She's got that perfect balance between bad behaviour and sugary sweetness
Sato Sumire: It probably sounds really shallow of me but the primary reason that Suu-chan made it onto my list is her looks. She is just so beautiful. I remember seeing her in the Momusu 8th gen auditions and thinking 'wow, that girls cute'. Then when she joined AKB and as the years went on she transitioned from cuteness to beautiful elegance. Elegant is a word that comes to my mind a lot when I think of Suu-chan. I think of her as the princess of AKB, like she's a cinderella type character. I could imagine her at a fancy ballroom event, turning up in a long flowing dress and just outshining everyone else. Beyond that she just has such a sweet personality too.
