It's.... refreshing in a weird way. I personally like her and think she's gorgeous but I can definitely see where you're coming from as I'm usually a fan of the types you've mentioned and would normally completely ignore someone like Maeda.

Not too long ago I read a post on S48 that a member of MAXIMUM THE HORMONE was approached by this girl for an autograph and he didn't realize until later that it was Atsuko Maeda. I mean, how many frontgirls of the most popular group in their country can get away with that?
How interesting. I've never really thought about it that way. I mean, even if she is plain, I've still always thought she was a very pretty girl, so I guess it still surprises me for her to be thought of as being so plain (since there are plenty of pretty girls with blah personalities that I feel people still find unapproachable). That's really cute that guy didn't even recognize her though.

Also, DDFHGNXBFSGDFFV THOSE COVERS!!! Even if they are just Ponyshu 2.0 (which the song is already sorta), I still totally love them! I seriously love them all, so I almost don't care which one I get. I usually choose which version of the single to get by the B-side (and PV) I prefer, so now it will be based on that entirely and not even on the cover. Good to know
