Day 24: An Idol that is not one of your favorites but you admit that they’re good.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

What does this even mean?<\/p>\n

For my idol fandom, I have a tendency to pick favorites. And by favorites, I mean the #1 favorite idol that will rule all the other idols in my idol rankings, but I tend to do that by group. For example, Ishikawa Rika is miles above any other Morning Musume member ever. It’s been changing a bit lately (in AKB48 fandom I love Oota Aika most, but Natori Wakana and Iwasa Misaki are pretty close, too), but I still do that. Furthermore, after the favorites then everyone tends to be pretty similarly ranked. For AKB48, I can do my top 10 members, but I can’t rank all of them simply because I like all of them and don’t want to put any one on the bottom.<\/p>\n

So here, I have a lot of idols that aren’t my favorites, but I like all of them. So how do I pick among the myriad of idols?<\/p>\n

I have one cop-out answer and one real answer to this question, so I’ll share both.<\/p>\n
