Jian Ghomeshi interviewed someone about J-pop groups, and the methodology behind their formation. Apparently, the more members you have, the higher the chance that the "personalities" of one of the members resonates with a fan, creating a stronger fanbase. Does AKB48 go overboard with 48 members? Some of these girls are as young as 15, but apparently they are the biggest J-pop group in Japan (not just member size, but commercial success).
So about the thread title, if you have an inner pedo, you can bring him out by "ranking" the girls. It might not make you any more comfortable with yourself, but here's what showed up on my top 12 of the results:
