I would mate with any of them if I could.
But answering to you, those “Japanese idols” are not most cutest teens in their generation. Agents scout out second-teir cute girls who have ambitions and flair so that boys would feel rather familiar with them and girls would regard someday they also could be one of them.

Originally they had called us “倭(dwarves)”.
We managed to have them know our honorable name “日本(nihon)” in 7-8 century, but they pronounced it in theirs (ziben).
And Marco Polo-san memorized it.
