| @FZREMAKE As long as they are in the database and meet the requirements in the opening post everyone is fine. |

Kirakira Joust is lowkey such a fire name for an idol contest
I'll go with Sakura Minamoto. I haven't watched that many idol stuff, but I'm looking forward to find some new shows to watch

| @Neengen Now that you mention it, it would also work as a title for a song. Or as a name of a weird character or even special ability. |

Shizuna said: This character must be canonically an idol or at the very least be an actual singer/musician who performs on screen (so not just a part of the background). Then, is Suzumiya Haruhi allowed as well? Just curious. She was the vocalist of their band during the high school festival performance. |

@SouthRzVa As long as they at least sing vtubers are OK.
| @Shizuna Cool. I would say Towa's main appeal is her singing so it's all good then. |

| @nirererin Just barely, but yeah, although ultimately it will be up to participants whether the character is idolish enough to give her or him their votes. |
| @Little_Sheepling @Serafos @Noboru Perhaps this will prove interesting to you. |
| Oh I'd love to vote for Rin Tokikaze from Akiba's Trip 2 (Manga & game) if I could. https://myanimelist.net/character/190992/Rin_Tokikaze?q=Rin%20tok&cat=character  She's a popular solo idol and loves pleasing her fans, but has difficulty in truly connected to people. |

| @Little_Sheepling I haven't played Akiba's Trip yet, but if I do, I'll probably be reminded of you whenever I see Rin in it. |
Reply to Shizuna
| @Shizuna No thanks, I will pass on voting and I'm generally not interested in these kinds of threads, so please refrain from mentioning me for these kinds of things in the future |

Reply to Shizuna
| @Shizuna She does a bit :D Oh definitely I'd recommend the series, especially the 2nd game. It's tons of fun and definitely captures the Anime fan/otaku culture (I guess mainly because it's set in Akihabara, that helps). The galge element of it is also quite nice. |

@machy871 I wonder how would your personal top-20 list look like?
| @Shizuna I do not really make those, although I usually have a favourite character/s in a show. So it's not in any order, I may have forgotten someone and I was not able to make a list of only 20 so here's 25: Kiriko Yukoku, Rinze Morino, Tenka Osaki, Amana Osaki, Fuyuko Mayuzumi, Tachikawa Ayaka, Tachibana Arisu, Sagisawa Fumika, Yukimi Sajou, Kobayakawa Sae, Kisaragi Chihaya, Minase Iori, Hoshii Miki, Tsushima Yoshiko, Sonoda Umi, Minami Kotori, Zhong Lanzhu, Nakasu Kasumi, Ousaka Shizuku, Heanna Sumire, Koizumi Uta, Hiumi Nanoko, Eleonore Giovanna Gassion, Virginia Robertson, Kuramoto China And this thread made me quite unsure what we count as an idol. :I |

| @machy871 Nice list. Some of these are unfamiliar to me, however - Uta, Nanoka, Eleonore and Virginia. The latter two are related to Strike Witches, which is one of my favorite anime series, but I haven't watched their anime yet. How'd you compare it to the main series? For me imas top-1 look like this: Shinymas: Chiyuki (Rinze is second) Cinderella Girls: Minami Million Live (excluding original ones): Kaori Gakumas: Rinami I wasn't sure how many people are into idol theme, so I had to make the requirements somewhat loose. |
| As Uta has been nominated already, I nominate Kokoro Shigure from You and Idol Pretty Cure |
~Saeryen~Cure Cantata~ Invoke love, invoke hope, please heal everything! |

| @rohan121 nice to see that someone knows/remembers her! I liked that character quite a bit. |
I nominate Beru from Pretty Rhythm: Rainbow Live I don't remember much about her as I watched this series back in 2016 but I do remember having a massive crush on her |

| The Idol List is so amazingly stacked, I'm genuinely surprised here. I don't even know who would win the Kirakira Joust, there are so many great idols in this Joust. ^-^ |

| @TheMinkalex Prolly there will be at least one character from Oshi no Ko in top3, with high probability of winning the whole contest. Assuming the other spots won't be taken by another Oshi no Ko character, then I guess Bocchi and Eiko can go high, or someone from Ave Mujica or K-On (if any character from these shows was nominated). There have been many idols nominated, indeed, but it's good to be a realist and be aware of their chances. xD However, I'd love to be proven wrong and end up being surprised after seeing unexpected results. ;) |

| @Shizuna Well, it was quite nice seeing things from another perspective. Since we have a bunch of witches unsuited for combat here, but doing similar army stuff. So it's kinda the same but the action/battle stuff turns into war propaganda music/idol stuff. And we also have interactions with/among the familiars, which is not the case in the other instances. I see, so the pretty oneesan stuff. Chiyuki barely did not make the cut for me, but I like Alstroemeria, it's a really sweet trio. Rinami - kept listening to her song even after deciding it's sadly not eligible for the DB. Yeah, just from the number of members under idol shows it's quite obvious that it's not exactly popular outside of Japan. Although the umm ''proper idols'' are gonna get destroyed by the popular characters this way so it's kinda sad. |

I nominated Kotori Shiratori from Taisho Otome Fairy Tale:

@Sophithia I just finished watching Taishou Otome Otogibanashi and even cried a little when Kotori performed with her brother.  Even though not exactly an idol, I think she embodies what being idol is about quite well! |

| @machy871 In that case, I suppose I'll watch Luminous Witches sooner rather than later and let you know whether I liked it or not (I'll try not to forget haha). Yeah, all of them even have a somewhat similar hair color, however others I like have less similarities, e.g. Sakuya, Asahi and aforementioned Rinze for Shinymas; Ranko and Kanade for CG, Minako and Anna for Million Live. Well, ultimately it will depend on how people decide to vote. Maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised by the results. |
Kanade Amou from Symphogear, since Tsubasa Kazanari was already nominated. |
Yuuki Setsuna from Love Live! Nijigasaki High School Idol Club She's the greatest idol of all time. Anyone who disagrees is wrong! I have to betray one of my favorite characters with this. I love Shibuya Kanon from Love Live! Superstar!!, but she just isn't as good of an idol as Setsuna. |
    |
| I'll start the event soon, so if anyone else wants to join now is the best time to do it. |
| I think the best idol is 5pb from Hyperdimension Neptunia. Here is a link to her....... https://neptunia.fandom.com/wiki/5pb. |

| @Shizuna You don't have to name them, but do you have in mind already who are going to be the most favourites, or are there still plenty of prominent idols yet to be nominated to make it there? |

| I see that Ai Hoshino is currently winning. I ask the participants of this contest to reconsider based on what an idol is. To many it is personal, and I understand that, but to me, it is about the journey to become a top entertainer gaining talent in song, dance and maybe an instrument, while also holding a restriction on personal life specifically on relationships. Ai Hoshino succeeds in the former but not the later given that she has kids. I acknowledge the restriction is toxic, but just like hockey has its fights, it is a matter of culture and industry. If Ai wanted to be an entertainer, there is no restriction but she chose to be an idol, a person that commands fanatically loyal fans. Fanatically loyal fans come with a price and that is the idol should not be in a relationship especially if they have kids. I am personally willing to let relationships slide, as that is unenforceable nor is there physical proof if enough operational security is taken. However kids are the red line. That being said, exceptions apply if Ai had kids prior to being an idol, then it is okay. However that is not the case and ergo again, please reconsider if Ai should be in your top 10s. The rest of the Oshi no Ko cast are of course fair game as they did not have kids during their idol career. As an alternative idol, please consider Mima Kirigoe, as her story has her leave the idol industry before pursuing anything that is not "idol-like". That is giving respect to the idol industry while acknowledging your needs as an individual who is trying to find success and happiness in their life. There are proper ways to do things and Ai does not do things the proper way and it should be improper for her to win this competition. |
