My Junjun story:K, when I first saw the news that MM was getting 2 Chinese members, I was alll "
". As info slowly started to trickle in about them and we began to know more and more about them, I was still skeptical (primarily because of the language barrier), but part of me was thinking
"Hey, maybe/hopefully this could turn out well and they get someone like RuRu for Taiyo & Ciscomoon." I admit, when pics from her Chinese blog began popping up my first thought was
"Well, at least she'll be cute/easy on the eyes." With Junjun in particular, I was impressed with and applauded Tsunku for picking someone that would/could be considered "old" for a new member, seeing as how he recently has tended to go with 15 years old as his maximum age for new recruits. As time passed after their debut I couldn't help but feel the need to cheer her on, what with her having to learn the songs and choreography in a rather short period of time. Sure, all new H!P members have to go through training like this, but it was doubly hard for Junjun because she was suddenly required to move to a new country and learn a new language. Never mind just being a fan, with Junjun it was like wanting to be an
oendan for her.
My favourite thing about Junjun:Her "straightforward-ness." She's a lot like Miki in that way, but where Miki was a badass when she was being straightforward, Junjun's cute and funny. It's like, she can get away with it because it's still cute the way she does it.
Oh, and the way she cutely says
"Nande?".
OH! Also the way she flirts with the other members (like that time Reina was on her radio show and she sent a picture of herself submerged up to her neck in a bubble bath and Junjun replied by sending her a text saying that she wanted to be in the tub with Reina).
A memorable performance:Sure this was a group performance, but for me Junjun was definitely the star here.

the single moment that cemented Junjun as my fave current MM member.
A moment that surprised me:Even before I started to really like her, seeing this surprised and impressed me. As far as I could remember, aside from Kemeko, there hadn't been any MM members who could play an instrument. Sure a few members learned/studied one after they left the group, but yeah, that was AFTER they left the group.
The pwnage of Sayu at the end was a bonus.
