And for the record my fav song in the series is Do You Remember Love: Bless the Little Queen so I guess your shipping theory goes flying out the window with me... that and Ranka's What About My Star are in my top 5. Aimo Birdman (waaaaay better than the original, o.c and sheryls) is another massive favorite of mine. Oh wait I forgot I'm biased
Well, there's undoubtedly biasness involved. You may not see it in one person, but when the poll results show a divide between the two characters, one claiming the top half, the other in the bottom half, its hard to argue that there's no biasness involved.

And that's where you're overreacting.

I never said foreigners should like or dislike which. I only stated that foreigners will never fully grasp the meaning of Japanese music if they do not know the language.

I'm not tell you that you cannot like or dislike anything you don't understand. I'm only telling you that you disliked something you didn't understand, at the same time, you yourself are liking other things you don't fully understand as well.

You see, I'm only agreeing to what the Japanese pointed out:

Biasness involved - Yes I think there's biasness involved seeing the results of the poll.
Not understanding Japanese music - Yes I believe foreigners don't really understand what they hearing from Japanese music.

Its not like I'm arguing that everyone hates and is bashing one character, I'm only saying there's a certain degree of biasness. I didn't say that people cannot like or dislike something, more or less than another, even if you don't understand it.
