最近超迷棒棒堂二軍
So 棒棒堂二軍 (公主幫+宅男塾) came out with 2 EPs in the middle of July. I had always been planning to support them and buy the EPs, but I didn't actually start "liking" them until I heard 冒險世界 as performed by both groups. I was in Japan at the time, but I watched the MVs on YT & I got my mom to buy their CDs while she was in TW.
I really became a fan of 宅男塾 [Boys in House//Elite of Otaku]] since their style is more "Cool", their version of 冒險世界 was more to my liking (techno), and the members slowly captured my heart :D [the last part came after I started watching more 模范棒棒堂 after I got back home]. Originally, when I found out about 二軍.. around the time they went from 14棒 to 10棒, I liked 公主幫 [[Knights of Princess]] more.. they were cuter at first and whatnot.. But as I said, after learning more about the groups and watching more 模范棒棒堂, I realized that 宅男塾 was cooler imho.
My order of liking the guys:
宅男塾 -
1. 小祿 (His singing really captured my heart)
2. 李銓 (KUSO王.. Really makes the show that much funnier XD)
3. 牙膏 (I originally thought TP was the ugliest guy ever and hated his guts, but after watching him work really hard for 二軍 and such, I changed my mind)
4. TERRY (He's pretty cool.. just not my type really)
5. 鮪魚 (I liked him more before, but after watching the latest episodes, I found that he was really not very cool)
公主幫
1. 野戰 (He sings too well!)
2. 翰獎 (Too under-appreciated, even though he's a little hard to get along with.. he's got a lot of talent)
3. 毛弟 (He's way too popular.. and I think 王子 is about 10x cooler than him.. but he's still kind of cute & is a good actor)
4. 阿本 (He was the first 棒棒堂男孩 I ever saw. My cousin really liked him, and I also thought he was pretty cute.. but he's a little too full of himself)
5. 小馬 (I feel like he tries to act cool a little too much.. I know he has been trying very hard lately, but yeah..)
I tried to rank them out of 10, but I can't do it.. I don't think any of them deserves to be left behind.. and in an ideal world, they would just make 2 groups as is now... but that's not what happens.. ;-;.
So the real reason I'm posting now is because I'm quite depressed about how they already decided the final members of 二軍. Yeah, I thought it was supposed to be 8/28.. but I guess that's when they'll show the episode on Channel[V]. But they taped the episode yesterday night in TW.. In the end, it's based on popularity.. (the order of popularity): 毛弟, 阿本, 小祿, 鮪魚, 小馬, 李銓, 野戰, Terry, 翰獎, 牙膏. They chose the top 7 (instead of 5 like they originally planned).. thus Terry, 翰獎, 牙膏 weren't picked. They may not have been my favorites or top choices for 二軍, but I still don't want to see them go.
Warner Music TW said that Terry isn't really fit to be in a band.. and that he has the most ability to go solo..; 翰獎 has a lot of talent, but he hasn't exactly "prepared" enough and his talents don't really show yet.. after more "preparation", he would definitely have a chance.. 牙膏 has been working very hard and it's shown, however there isn't really anything "special" about him right now.. and he should try to find what it is that makes him different.
I agree with most of what Warner Music said.. but I still don't want them to go. I won't say that I would have rather have XX or YY not be picked.. since they've already picked the 7 people, me saying something wouldn't do anything. And I will support 二軍 no matter what happens. They've worked hard (all 10 of them), and the 7 who have been picked do deserve to be picked. All of them deserve it. So I hope that the 3 who weren't picked will keep working hard and not let this disappoint them too much.
I'm not sure if they are going to change the whole cast of 模范棒棒堂.. I hope not. But I hope that Terry, 翰獎, 牙膏 have another chance. I think that Terry should go solo, no matter if it's as a singer, a dancer, or what. I think that 翰獎, 牙膏 should work hard and keep up with their dancing and singing and also work hard on the show (for however long they're allowed to stick with it).
As for the 7 who have been picked, as I said, I think they do deserve it. Congratulations. However, Warner Music came up with another obstacle. Obviously it's not that they don't want 棒棒堂二軍 to succeed.. they just want them to be able to differentiate themselves from LollipopBBT (6棒). So, each of the 7 who have been picked now have to each learn a different instrument. 李銓 (drums) and 阿本 (keyboard) are the only ones who have played instruments before. I know 李銓 drums really well, though self-taught.. I don't know about 阿本 though.. As for the other 5, they will have to pick up an instrument and be able to play decently by the end of this year. From experience, learning an instrument is pretty hard. Having to do it within a certain period of time? It will be hard, but I think that they will be able to pull it off. Warner Music said that if by the end of the year any ONE of the members cannot play an instrument decently, the whole group will not be able to release CD(s). Now the members have even more pressure.
I really wish everyone the best of luck. Esp. Terry who wasn't picked.. but has been on the show since the very beginning. But also to everyone else.. whether he was picked or not.
