Yoshizawa Finals

Hitomi Yoshizawa
Age: 22
Member Since: 2000
Beat: 16. Akari Saho, 8. Danny Noriega

vs.

Rika Ishikawa
Age: 23
Member Since: 2000
Beat: 10. Atsuko Inaba, 4. Miyabi Natsuyaki

Activity: Hitomi Yoshizawa. With Gatas (Brilhantes and Ongaku), they do a lot of the same things. I can’t figure out how to split the two, so I’m giving it to Hitomi out of bias.

Looks: Rika Ishikawa. I had been proclaiming that Rika’s sexy looks doesn’t work. Well, that caused her to lose to Miyabi in this category. She still edges out Hitomi, for whatever reason.

Charisma: Hitomi Yoshizawa. Is it a surprise to anyone that so many variety/quiz shows snatched up Yossi when they got the chance?

WINNER - Hitomi Yoshizawa 2-1. The first real challenge to Hitomi, Rika had a strong run. She freaking took out Miyabi.

Aika Mitsui
Age: 15
Member Since: 2006
Beat: 14. Erika Umeda, 6. Ayaka Kimura

vs.

Koharu Kusumi
Age: 15
Member Since: 2005
Beat: 15. Asuna Okai, 7. Risako Sugaya

Activity: Koharu Kusumi. For some reason, those in charge like to play a cruel joke and give Aika as little to do as possible. Although Aika’s recent pregnancy made a nice challenge at the activity - Koha has done much more at this point.

Done much more in songs I mean…

Looks: Aika Mitsui. Where’s the photobook?

Charisma: Koharu Kusumi. Aika keeps it real, there is no questioning that. She’s quickly becoming the Queen Bee(tch). For now, I am going with Koha.

WINNER - Koharu Kusumi 2-1. Hold up. Did Koha really just beat Aika? Let me explain myself here. For the record, I like Aika more than Koharu. But where would the fun be if I was just exclusively going by who I like. When I match up Activity, Looks and Charisma - I have to (somewhat begrudgingly) admit that Koha is bringing more to the table right now. But I like Aika more! Please forgive me for putting Koha through to the next round!

This leads us to the finals for the Yoshizawa Region:

Hitomi Yoshizawa
Age: 22
Member Since: 2000
Beat: 16. Akari Saho, 8. Danny Noriega, 5. Rika Ishikawa

vs.

Koharu Kusumi
Age: 15
Member Since: 2005
Beat: 15. Asuna Okai, 7. Risako Sugaya, 3. Aika Mitsui

Activity: Koharu Kusumi. Koha and Yossi offset each other in nearly everything that I could consider. For Koha’s solo career, there is Yossi’s Ongaku Gatas and futsal career. For Yossi’s getting the hell out of Momusu, there’s Koha trying to make it worthwhile. It came down to getting drunk. They both do it (Yossi on TV and Koha in her albums). But it is legal for Yossi to do it. Boring.

Looks: Hitomi Yoshizawa. Koharu’s looks have brought her far in this tournament. I can’t give this category to here just because she wears more revealing outfits though. Hitomi is a lot more confident and I find that sexier, at least in this comparison.

Charisma: Hitomi Yoshizawa. Koha is a wound-up crack fiend, there is no questioning that. I’m left shocked and confused at how much energy she can have. Hitomi is more reserved, but that adds dimension. She obviously has a wacky side. Let’s take Rainbow Pink. Whenever Koha performs Rainbow Pink, it’s obviously the hypercute angle. When Hitomi (and Mikitty) performed it at that fanclub event (which? I forget), she realized how goofy it was and was laughing throughout the entire thing. She may have hated performing Rainbow Pink, but I thought to myself “if I had to perform Rainbow Pink, I’d react the same way.” Now, hopefully that day will never come, but I found it entertaining that I could see myself in Hitomi. I pulled that one back.

WINNER - Hitomi Yoshizawa 2-1. It’s a deserved win for Hitomi and she takes the region that she was the #1 seed. It was a strong division with the likes of Aika, Koharu, Rika and Miyabi also involved. It depends on who she’d face from the Yajima Region, but I think she has a chance to win it all.
