Crying Dandelion

UH-HA! Hey brother! HO bro- Wait no. Sorry, it’s the only song that could motivate me right now. As usual, I start off this post with something irrelevant, but I’m not going to even make a decent attempt at writing tonight.

I was supposed to write this months ago and somewhere along an RP distraction came in and I forgot. The reason I’m doing this is because I wanted to explain it to a friend and since I’ve had to repeat myself a couple of times, I’ll put it here so I can just link this instead of having to write it all over again. : D

The title of this post comes from two of the subgroups of MoMusu and SuJu. Subgroups were a primary reason why I started making comparisons between groups (besides their lineup) but it took me a while to realize something about Tanpopo’s first gen. I usually sticked with second gen Tanpopo because of it’s members. I had heard two of their songs and while I enjoyed them they didn’t provoke much of a feeling out of me. That, is until I heard this song. I’m not exactly sure what it is that I like about it, it just has a nice feeling to me… but I can’t really place it. Soothing, maybe? Because of that same video I started to look at each member differently when they were in Tanpopo and noticed that I could pair up the girls with each of the KRY boys. So, yes, that’s where the title comes from: Crying (KRY) Dandelion (Tanpopo). It’s not supposed to make much sense. XD

First off, the common thing about both groups is that they sang softer, slower songs songs. Now with the members, let’s start with Ishiguro Aya. Who do I pair her up with? Easy, Kyuhyun. They both had one of the best voices of their respective groups and to be honest, when I first saw them, I thought they looked kinda of… well, mean. Something about their expressions.

Next up, Johnson~! I’ve decided that Yesung could be her counterpart and at first I was a bit iffy at this. It’s because Yesung is pretty much Yasuda for me. Take for example how Yasuda was the common target in Utaban and that’s pretty much Yesung’s role in EHB. Instead I opted to take in consideration their roles within the subgroups at that time. Iida’s and Yesung’s voices are slightly deeper than the others, and they both have that “D:” expression to them. Besides, she was also picked on a lot of Utaban, yeah?

That would leave Mari and Wookie. Now, don’t bite my head off, I know that personality wise they’re complete opposites. Mari is that hyper active midget while Wookie is more of a Konkon/Kamei with his awkward sweetness. But.. that’s wasn’t always like that, right? When Mari joined she was shy and still hadn’t develop her personality, so by that time frame, it would be okay to compare them. A quality that they would share would be their voices, their pitch is slighter higher than the other two members. I can also say that they’re both the shortest ones of their group but.. Wookie’s shorter than the others by a few centimeters. Mari’s a different case. Oh! They were also the ones that stood for me the most. Mari with her height and face and Wookie with his.. cheekbones and fragile body. XD

Uff. Anyway, that’s done.. I think I’ll go do some WAHAHA flailing next.
