5 Reasons Why I Love Nishioka Kengo from MAG!C☆PRINCE

Nishioka Kengo is the lead singer and centre of this month's featured group, MAG!C☆PRINCE. He also happens to be one of my absolute favourite idols of all time. Here's a list of a few reasons why I love him and hopefully you'll come to love him too!

1. He's the Idol Prince.

If you love idols what's better than an idol who also loves idols?! Kengo in fact became an idol himself because he was such a big fan of both female and male idols alike. In particular he likes Sexy Zone who were actually the first male idol group I became interested in myself so they hold a very special place in my heart.

2. He was an odorite.

Once upon a time I used to make Jpop dance cover videos on YouTube. Although that's not something I do anymore, I remember those times fondly and still like to perform on occasion. I was very excited to find out that this is something Kengo used to do too before he became a member of Magipri. In the past he uploaded a few videos of himself dancing to songs from popular idol groups such as AKB48 and Morning Musume.

3. He's very 'otomen'.

It's not uncommon for people to mistake Kengo for a girl what with his soft feminine features, his high voice, and his somewhat girlish interests. This may not be to everyone's taste but I absolutely adore this about him; it was what attracted me to him in the first place. I don't know why but I've always been more into guys who have a rather evident feminine side and even better if they aren't ashamed of it.

4. He's tsundere.

Oh gosh. Kengo can be a nightmare sometimes, haha. He can be so sharp-tongued and bitchy (for lack of a better word).  He'll often act cold with the other members of Magipri one minute and then be super lovey-dovey with them the next. For me though, this just adds to his cuteness.

5. He's just perfect, okay?!

I know this last one is kind of a cop-out, haha. But to summarize, Kengo just really makes me happy. Even if I'm having a bad day I can't help but squeal excitedly whenever I see his beautiful smiling face. He's such a talented dancer and singer, and I love how confident and unashamed of his femininity he is. More than anything I want to support him in achieving his dream of becoming an idol like Japan has never seen before. I'd also love to see him meet Sato Shori and the rest of Sexy Zone someday, haha.
