No.
NO!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

First of all…she’s a freakin’ child.
Second…
Well, really, that’s the best reason she should not be anywhere near fishnets and leather.

It’s Koharu! That hyperactive teen who has no idea how to turn off the smile and is perpetually cracked-out? Won’t this melt the brains of all the six year olds she’s recruited into her Kirarin (or whatever the horrid thing is called) show? Fifteen is older, yes. But it’s not that old.

What pisses me off so much about Koharu is that she cannot sing. Yes, that point has been made before. It’s flagrantly obvious.

BUT

We’re talking tone-deaf, squeaky and not even remotely trying to improve BAD. She could work on it, but she’s resting comfortably in her “miracle” name and using her cuteness to get by. I see blogs where people congratulate her for getting through a concert without lipsynching. That’s the best they can say about her, other than her “genki-ness”.
“Oh she’s improved so much!”

NO SHE HASN’T!

Remember how Tsunku laughed his ass off when she sang Furusato (as did we all)?
She’s improved only a smidge since then.
Which is to say, not a hell of a lot.

ANYONE can squeak and gasp into a mike with a cracked-out smile on her face!
It’s not a miracle.

What is a miracle is how she manages to look gorgeous one moment and then completely deranged the next.

That’s the thing about her: I’m sure she works herself raw doing all she does. I give her credit for stamina and for her beauty. She is very, very pretty sometimes. But image is, contrary to what one must believe, NOT everything. Dancing and singing are your JOBS. Yes, it’s good to cultivate a personality, albeit an insane, hyperactive one, but not at the expense of the music.

She was so cute when she began. I remember noticing her in Chokkan2, loving her little fist pumping thing. She looked happy, like she was shy and sweet and really trying. She had an interesting voice. I could forgive her croaking. She was only twelve and seemed like she was on her way to getting passable, if not good.

Then came that anime.
And the “music” that goes with it.

Now Kusumi is pretty much decided that this current voice is what she wants to use for the rest of her life. And yet, everyone tells us she’s a ‘miracle’.

*shakes head*

It’s a miracle Miki never strangled her squeaky ass.
Probably cause Yossy protected her.
And Ai couldn’t hurt a fly if she wanted to.

So alas, there is no one left to help us all out.
Sayu hated helping her so much that she yanked out her own eyebrows. Everyone else probably has given up by now.

As if the over-cute wasn’t enough, now we have to deal with this:


She looks pretty…until I remember that she’s a FREAKING CHILD.

I wish that they’d give her singing lessons at least.

Tsunku…what the hell were you thinking???
