Current Venus Ranking

10 is joint!

Chizuru Soya Background Venus. Not much to say, and her version of Mori de Tanoshiku was pre-recorded by Sakae. Her live version wasn’t bad or good. Just there. She was a good dancer, though!

Kanatsu Nakaya Background Venus. Not much to say. She really is barely rememberable.

Akiko Miyazawa Another background Venus. She got her time to shine in future musicals, but as Venus, we barely got to know her or hear her, so she’s very low for that reason.

9. Miyu Otani Miyu isn’t bad! She was just mainly in the back. Her one single solo is very good, and she’s very cute. If she had more time to shine, maybe I’d like her more.

8 is joint!

Yuki Nakamura Didn’t have much time to shine, but what we do get of her is good. She has a good singing voice and a cheerful personality, but it often feels more acting than natural.

Mizuki Watanabe She’s good too. But, she definitely over acted a LOT. But she was cute and had a good voice. She’s really hated, but I actually like her.

7. Nana Suzuki CLASSIC VENUS. I really like her, though! Her voice is really nice (Maybe not exactly fit for Venus, but whatever. xD) and she’s very sweet. She’s definitely too calm for Venus, but I enjoy Nana. Her smile is very contagious!

6 is joint! (Again. xD)

Nao Inada She’s very good! Her voice is very Rika Fukami-ish. I enjoyed her in the Kaguya musicals and Last Dracul. Her acting felt genuine, but I always felt her trying to be a more “sexy Venus”. xD

Erika Erika had a fun and bubbly personality that I really liked! She felt very Venus-like, but one big downfall was her unpolished voice. It wasn’t TERRIBLE, but especially in the Shin Kaguya fankan, she REALLY struggles. She improved by Shin Kaguya K, and had we had more time with her, I’m sure she would’ve been higher on this list. I love the fact that she’s also American and her English is SO good and it makes me very happy. xD

5. Momoko Shibuya SO CUTE. I LOVE HER. <3 Momoko is a very unique Venus, she’s cute and fangirly. Yet, her voice is very strong and powerful and I really like that about her! Momoko’s a precious bun and I adore watching her. <3

4 is joint! (FINAL ONE, SORRY. XD)

Kana Nakada SUCH ANOTHER CUTE. I love Kana so much! I didn’t think I was going to like her that much when the photos came out (She just looked uninterested) but they say don’t judge a book by its cover, cause on stage she is so fun. I love her on stage and she really enjoyed her role. She’s precious and I adore her. <3

Hina Higuchi I expected to love Hina, and I was right. xD I was a TAD bit underwhelmed by her voice, but she was still really good and her 2 different ranges were really nice to hear! <3 She’s super pretty and fun on stage!

3. Rimo Hasegawa OH MY GOD MY RIMO BABY <3 She’s SO FUCKING CUTE LIKE YOU’RE AMAZING RIMO-CHAN <3 Sorry, from this point on I’m fanboying like hard cause Venus is my favorite inner and THESE TOP 3 ARE SUCH QUEENS I LOVE THEM SO MUCH. Rimo’s just SO cute. Her voice was unpolished, but wasn’t terrible! She always seemed so happy and bubbly as Venus and just... Okay, I’ll stop. xD

2. Ayumi Murata MY OG VENUS QUEEN. <3 Ayumi is SO Venus-like and I love it. She’s bubbly and fun, kick-ass, and has great singing! She put Traditional the Grace on the MAP and she very much fit in with her cast. I just love Ayumi, she makes me so happy to watch. I feel more relaxed with her, but, it’s like your old friend that you love so much, but you’re like chill with. That’s Ayumi to me. xD

1. Shiori Sakata FUCKING.QUEEN. I ADORE SHIORI SO MUCH. SHE WAS VENUS 100% AND I HOPE SHE IS HAPPY AND HEALTHY THESE DAYS I MISS HER SO MUCH. ;O; She just ALWAYS felt like Venus. She had that leader quality that most of the Venus did not have. She is absolutely amazing in every way. I fanboy over her 100% and I gives not a single fuck. xD
