For me I just can't be a Shoma fan maybe because his torso feels tense and his face is intense/concentrated regardless of the theme, it's part of his aesthetics. Although for some it can be a positive in his presentation, it's not my preference. It's more fitting for his FS theme I hate tangos though, and the music is a no but I feel it's usually out of place in his SPs, Ladies in Lavender is a bit too soft for his style in my opinion. but I love his blue costume to bits. However, his arms are pleasing and his performances overall feel very polished so this doesn't stop me from seeing what qualities he has that can attract other people. It's evident how he's proficient in his presentation, even if it has no effect emotionally on me.
Yes, this is how I feel. I also simply prefer the look of taller men on the ice. While he has musicality, the music choices are dreadful (the tango) or boring, and there is nothing there for me to connect with. I've seen him 3x in person and tried my best to "get" him, but I guess he will never be my cup of tea.
