Hiragana Oshi (2018)

A coupla months ago, while reviewing the first two seasons of "KeyaBingo", I wrote that I wasn't gonna become an "idol wota" any time soon...well, in all honesty (and upon watching not only the other two seasons of that variety show, but also over 120 episodes of "Keyakitte, Kakenai?" and the whole 50 episodes of this "Hiragana Oshi"!), I suppose I should pretty much take those words back, LOL...^_^;;;
Although I still find the idols' "core business" (pop music and choreographies) unappealing (so much so that I won't hide the fact that, with very few exceptions, whenever they showed a song's performance at the end of the episodes, I'd just fast forward it, sorry), I'll still admit that these idols' variety shows are, a) pretty well done, and b) obviously quite addictive!
The MCs are to be praised (BTW: Tsuchida, Sawabe, Wakabayashi, Kasuga...all from Saitama! Does that prefecture produce a particularly high percentage of comedians, or is this a mere coincidence? >__<), but so are the authors who mostly kept the things interesting and lively, and last but certainly not least so are the girls themselves, many of whom are indeed quite talented.
BTW, whereas with the "Kanji Keyaki" I really liked a few of the members but at the same time really disliked some of the rest (from whom I kept getting some really evil vibes) and overall the group's dark aura, with these "Hiragana/Hinatazaka" I'll have to say they seem all nice to me, and the group's aura feels also much more uplifting and sunnier (no surprise their fans are called "ohisama", LOL). All imho so please take no offense if you happen to think otherwise...^__-
