Buwahahaha! I couldn't agree more. In fact it just reminded me of the video game I was playing the other day called
"IDOLMASTER: Live for you"
...I swear every single dance move in there (or at least 85% of them) were imbeded into Ranka's routine along with those sparkly stars that come out when doing her signature "Idol" pose.
My personal tastes are similar I suppose...I guess I like the fact that Sheryl has "edge"....there's no passion in Ranka's singing or her performances...she could actually be just another added character in the world of "IdolMaster" especially with her overall appearance.
But I guess there are some people who actually like that genre.
LOL, sorry I just had to throw this one in here...it was the height of pop cutesy idolness in Japan during 1978....I was only 4 years old at the time when this aired

Isn't it frightening that some Pop idols (specifically anime seiyuu idols) in Japan haven't progressed past this?
