If you are a fan of AKB48 and are easily offended, you are recommended to NOT read this article. I have warned you ahead of time, so don't blame me.
Yes, I know it sounds REAAAALLY random, but trust me, they are the same in one aspect.
Today, I'm going to the mall with my friends, but I decided to watch some T.V. first to kill time. So I turn on the T.V. and notice that Sonny With A Chance is on. Yes, I watch SWAC, do you have a problem with that? XD Seriously, though, it's one of my favourite shows. The episode that I watched was when Sonny gets hooked on Mackenzie Falls and hides it from her cast mates. The cast mates think this is a betrayal to So Random because MF is their rival. And Chad asks Sonny out and I screamed like a fan girl. XDDDD Okay, the part that I just said has NOTHING to do with AKB48, but that was just my favourite part!!! I love Sonny and Chad together!
Okay, so to the point. How are they the same? I actually thought of the similarity while I was watching the show. So, let's pretend that the H!P fans are the So Random cast mates. Suddenly, one of them is watching MF or listening to AKB48. Now, they could confess to the rest of their fellow friends that they are doing this act or hide it from them. Well, I see a lot of people just "confessing" to liking it, but some people may be in denial that they are starting to drift away from So Random/Hello Project and drift toward MF/AKB48. But then, in the end, all of the cast mates admit to being hooked to MF/AKB48 at one time or another, and that they wanted that one cast mate/fan to be "pure" from MF/AKB48 and not like them at one point or another.
Now do you see where I'm headed? Nowadays, more people are starting to like AKB48 and just forget about H!P. I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of seeing AKB48-related stuff on the Hello!Online Tracker on every page that I click on. I respect that they are chasing their dreams and following their heart and some have true, star talent and quality, but I'm just saying that I don't like them and I don't want to. I'm sorry to AKB48 fans if I offended you/for offending you, but I just don't like their "style". I mean, putting footage of girls changing in a locker room? What guy wouldn't be attracted to that? If you're wondering how I know of this, it was on this JPop blog and it played automatically. I didn't watch the full thing, though. Trust me, I gave them a shot with "RIVER" and to be honest liked it. But I don't like the rest of their songs and the routes of which they choose for their idols. I understand that I may be hypocritical because H!P sometimes choose not-so-childish outfits for their idols to wear, like S/mileage's new single outfits' skirts are WAAAAAAY too short. But I know that H!P would never put footage of girls changing in locker rooms. If they did, I'd LOVE to see it. Well, not in the pervert kind of way but you know what I mean. Seriously, they didn't even put Berryz Koubou in bikinis in Alo Hello, but I think that has to do with Captain not wanting to gain attraction with her body. I'm just making an assumption here. Bottom line, I will NEVER, and I mean NEVER, abandon Hello! Project for AKB48. I'm not trying to persuade you to like Hello! Project, if that's what you are thinking. After all, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink it. If you are already a fan of AKB48, go right ahead. I don't want to be an influence to how others think. But I'll keep on supporting Hello! Project!
Yes! Someone who shares my feelings on this! I gave AKB48 a chance on Sakura no Shiori and Ponytail no Shushu, and I want to see what eveyone finds so great about them, but I don't. H!P girls never have to dress so skimpy to sell and even though they don't sell as great as AKB48 (or have as high-budget PVs, or have as mamy members T-T) they still don't have young girls half naked and making weird faces -_-" I won't be a hater on the AKB girls though, I just don't like they way they're "showing" women.
