>>716555034 years ago they had a small dedicated base. Now they have a larger, newer, base. You cannot fucking compare.
Back in the day, when Cinderella Girls first started and some of the girls first started getting their voices, the voice actress for Rin Shibuya was fucking bad at singing. Like flat out, she was not good. To compensate, the people who were her fans, when she did a live, would fucking cheer LOUD. VERY LOUD, like almost louder than her voice could project to cheer her on. It's not the same anymore, because the franchise got bigger and her fans got bigger. I wish I could still find that video of her performance, because it was actually really amazing how much they wanted her to know it was OK.
