I don't want to offend any Leah fans; I don't hate her in any way.
She went from super-raunchy import model go-go dancer girl into Leah Dizon: Mecha Kawaii ^^v. I think the Japanese have transformed her into super cute, which seems to be very present there, even though they seemed to have kept her sexy image intact at some certain angles. To the people who are aware of her import model days, it seems like her "cute" image is a facade. (See Kanjani8 x Leah video) That's why Leah is quite popular (or hated) despite being a foreigner like Crystal is.

That was long *bricks self* DID I MAKE ANY SENSE AT ALL? >:
I completely agree. I think Leah Dizon is eye candy first, musician second...her singles barely outnumber her photobooks. She didn't choose Japan to start her singing career by accident; she knew she has a big fanbase there because of her gravure days...I think she has potential but her image dominates her popularity, IMO. And lmao Ryo is lying. He thinks she's hot. Simple as that, rofl.

And YES Shimatani is totally underrated! Considering she's got one of the best voices in the industry and experiments with so many sounds, I dunno why she's not #1. Plus, she's really pretty. What more do the people want?!

To be on topic though, I respect Crystal Kay because her number one focus always seems to be her music first, albeit I have yet to find a song of hers to fall in love with.
