Lately I've been reading a lot of comments from a lot of different random sites and amongst them I found a lot being fired towards Musume's leader. Why? Well according to the comments she ''hogs all the lines'' or ''she doesnt have a personality'' and even ''She wont be a good leader-she should graduate so Risa can take over''.
OK, first things first. Takahashi has the strongest voice in Musume. It may not be your personal favourite style voice but from any perspective its pretty obvious she is the strongest singer. Yes, I do realise Morning Musume are a band and not just Ai with backing vocals but her voice really makes up for those members of lesser vocal talents (as much as I like their voices..) Belive it or not Takahashi doesn't actually decide which song lines she sings so you can't really blame her if the producer picks her for the lead. I must admit, in Onna ni Sachi Are I was a bit disappointed by how much of the song was Ai but I didnt mind as at least it sounded good and as long as the producers made up for it later (Mikan's lines were more evenly distrubted)
Now whilst Ai doesnt have a overly cute, hyper personality that doesnt mean she doesnt have one. To me I've always thought of Ai being quite strange and she proved that in her futarigoto with Risa (Ai: Isn't man smart? You know..inventing the wheel and stuff LOL) Of course Ai has got a personality she just doesnt play on it as much as other members do.
Personally, when I heard Miki was leaving and Ai was becoming leader I was really pleased. I always thought Ai-chan would make a awesome leader and to be honest I was kind of scared that Musume would turn evil with Miki as their leader (joke lol) Throughout Morning Musume I've always thought that Ai was one of the most respected amongst them and thats why I think she'd make a good leader. I can imagine her being the sort of leader that people would turn to if they had problems and I'm sure she's helped make the pandas become accustomed to life within the group. Also her and Risa are a awesome pair and I'm pretty sure they would both work hard as leader and sub leader for MM. However, Risa without Ai-chan? I think if they dont have a double graduation than Risa will probably leave before Ai. I dont know why I think this but I just cant see Takitty graduating in the near future-or caught up in a scandal either..
Whilst I respect people's opinions and how everyone may not like Ai as much as other people (i.e. me) I think that people should give her more of a chance. Its not fair to critise her for things she has no control over. So lets sum up some of Takittys most lovable aspects.
Ai Takahashi: current MM leader, kick-ass voice, weird personality, cool new hair and manly screams.
More love and less hate towards Takitty!!
