Why, hello dear readers. It is a wonder you’re reading this, as it is the fact I am writing it. I’ll introduce myself; I’m Nikkori, and I sure do love idols!
Well, that sucked. I think that if I want to try and write about my beloved j-idols I should probably narrate how it all began.
It all started seven years ago, with my all time best friend and a Buono! song, “My boy!”. I wasn’t familiar with the odottemita concept yet, but that is what we did, and we were quite terrible at it I must say. We didn’t even have an Airi! And an even bigger sin, we didn’t know their names. We even took a while to realize that Buono! was the name of the group and not part of the title of the song…I want to say in my defense that I was 12. Anyhow, I suddenly became quite interested in the formation of this group I was dancing to, at least enough to learn their names. My friend never quite shared my interest, and still doesn’t know who I talk about when I say “Momochi”.
This is how I got my first oshiimen. Some may find it ridiculous or anything you want, but the reason I made Miya mi oshii was because I covered her dancing. The reason for that was I liked her voice more than Airi’s and I thought Momo had a ape face. Don’t ask why, I just wasn’t that into asians. If it wasn’t for Vanesa, my guy friend, I would still not like Momo very much. And that is how I also started watching Shugo Chara, my first consious Maho Shoujo, and my favorite manga. I really owe Buono! a lot, and to this day they are my fave H!P group. Even cried watching their last presentation.
Sadly, that is how things stayed for three years. I became an Otaku, kinda weaboo, but not full mode, and was more into animesong and Avenged Sevenfold. Not very idol like stuff. I was also very shy and, even though I liked singing, I took a while to realize I didn’t suck at it as I did at dancing. What does that have to do? Well, singing is what plunged me full splash into the aidoru sekai. After a while of not making up my mind, in 2011 I sang my first song using a microphone. Not an idol song, “God Knows” from Aya Hirano. It sucked really bad, because to this day I have a hard time following the rhythm, and my throat had more mocos than muscles, but that blew my mind. I had never felt so free, so good, so fun! I knew I liked it more than anything I’d ever done. Ever. And so I started singing in skype. Since 2010 I had been in a forum reading Naruto fanfiction, and through a contest I had gotten to know some people, who became my friends at the time. Nope, they weren’t the wota. Not yet. I spent a lot of time in skype with them, singing, making jokes, having fun…until I met him. This is not a person who is easy for me to write about; not only because how he hurt me, but because last time I said something about him he didn’t like, he hacked all my accounts. For anonimicity sake, I will call him Omocha, his username at the time. This was a charming guy, he was kind of a showoff too, but he atracted everyone’s attention. He had a nice voice and knew how to use it. But he’s rap sucked. Sorry (If you’re reading this). We became friends almost instantly and we became interested in each other, but at the time I was seeing another person, so he was just a friend. Through my singing and dancing, he started calling me a net-idol, even though I hadn’t recorded shit at that time. He showed me what odottemita was, and I started to learn the vocaloid dances. No big deal, most were easy, and I’ve always been fast at learning them…well, I did take two years to record my first one though.
If you got here, you deserve a prize. Here, have a cookie and strenght, because there’s still some way to go.
Things happened, I wish to omit them because it’s quite humillating to me, but we became…what do they call them…ah, yes, boyfriend and girlfriend. I fell really hard for him and he claimed that I was the love of his life. And I was stupid enough to believe him. But I was happy. He lived far away and he came to my country to meet me. It wasn’t easy for any of us, but we somehow lasted a year and a half. Counting the internet time, two years. I took time to learn he was not prince charming, he was judgemental and violent and kind of a bully. He was also a liar. Big time. But he was familiar with the idol world. He knew everything about nico nico douga and gave me books to learn japanese, reason I understand the language nowadays. Not everything was bad, and he helped me get to record the dancing. It was about that first year, 2013, I begun listening to °C-ute. There was this girl he really looked up to as a dancer, Amerikajinmusume. A person who got a really bad name amongst hello wota, for reasons that, to this day, I ignore. This person’s most know song was “Massara blue jeans” by the group I mentioned a couple of sentences ago. I started learning this dance. I wanted to be a better dancer than this girl, today know as Chelsea, a singer and model, really pretty voice she has btw. Thing is, I found out Airi was also in kyuuto! And so I learned what Hello!pro was. Morning musume came a year later, but at the time I was really into Berryz kobo and °C-ute. I then knew Babymetal and recently E-girls and Sakura Gakuin.
As I mentioned before, my ex was a bully. He started to like K-pop and shame me for listening to J-pop. He said those girls had no talent and no one japanese could have talent and all of them were overrated. He became.. A HATER! Well, he was right about the overrating, but he should take the time to listen to Suzuka Nakamoto. She’s seriously God. The thing is, my wotaness had a hard time blooming. Even though, it did grow exponentially, and I began calling myself a harowota and idol lover this december (at long last). It grew the most as soon as my relationship was over.
Now, as for the reason I’m starting a blog… My dear friend Chiima-chan, from the blog “Okay!Musume Time” sugested me to when I mentioned I enjoyed writing and stalking chinese people (?). As for the name, I really didn’t thought much about it…but neither did Saki-chan when naming Tsubaki Factory, and that sells, so we’re good.
So I hope you enjoy my opinions, even if you don’t nesesarily share them. It’s fun to sometimes read stuff you don’t agree with, right? No? Is it just me? ‘Kay… :(:(
A pleasure to meet you! See you soon!
