Which male artists do you want to marry !? Popularity is such a cyclic thing…
Maru’s in this list while Ryo is not. Where in the world has Maru ever been more popular than him? And Ryo’s even in a drama where he’s married..
A good amount of exposure can boost anyone’s popularity. Maru never got half the love he deserved, and suddenly everyone wants to marry him. Have people finally discovered he’s the best husband material out of all Kanjani8?
And almost all Arashi on the list.. Tell me about predictable.. Again, popularity cycling.. When I met Arashi back in 2006, Jun was the most popular by far, and Sho was the least! And now what… Sho’s up high and the one on the bottom is Nino.. Aiba grew so popular.. And after Maou, Ohno never got out of the popular guys list. So Nino fans don’t be upset. Popularity changes so fast…
This is why one should never rely on popularity. It’s just a thing of the moment. The important thing is to keep a set of loyal fans through time, even if the amount is little.
