Fandom Resolutions part 3 ~ an unlikely Eighter
Seriously it's a surprise that I like Kanjani at all. I'm not a fan of Kansai humor and I can't stand "boys will be boys" attitude. While I liked their early single releases more or less, I found the guys incredibly vulgar. That really put me off of them for quite a while. I liked Yoko in dramas like Food Fight and I endured Ryo because he was part of NewS (which I absolutely loved). But it wasn't until about the time of ROMES and I saw Tadayoshi on...errmm... was it Hello From Studio Park? and he ate natto. Now, I can really get behind a guy who digs natto! Okay, so maybe there was something redeemable about Kanjani, just give them another chance.
I started checking out more and found they weren't quite as repulsive as I'd previously found them. Still not the guys I'd want to hang out with and not the kind of guys that would bring me into the fandom, but not so bad after all. And despite the fact that they're not one of my fave groups, I've cheered them on and been happy with their recent success on the charts, in dramas and in DVD sales. I always cheer the underdogs on.
My goal this year is to continue expanding my Kanjani fandom, to get to really see how each member is. Watch more of their varieties, check out their cons. Buy more singles that catch my ear. I can't say I'll start with Aoppana because...ewwwwwwww. It would be the kind of thing that normally sets me back from being determined. But, who knows, I may end up fully a crazy Eighter soon.
