Screencaps

 

seems like next week is about ikuchan

 

Finally got to seeing this appearance. I love how she always adds her own style/ exaggerates the dances https://gfycat.com/UncommonSecondAmericancrocodile

 

Ikuo is legend...
No wonder he can make this woman

Incidentally, Ikuo is looking to fill up the position as his Saturday and Sunday women. I think she's too old for Ikuo, though. Better stick with the other Nogi members.

 

I have a question. So I am watching a japanese series called Atelier and there is a girl playing the piano. Is that Ikuchan ?

 

I don't think so? We would have heard some news about a guest/cameo appearance if it was her. Or did I just missed it myself?

btw, that girl on the screen cap looks like a mix between Ikuchan and Maimai.

Boy, two shows where Ikuchan is a main topic/ interviewee in one week.

 

Ikuchan recently went out to dinner with her harem gundan.



Sometimes I still find it a bit hard to see her a senpai to the 2nd gens, probably because they're roughly in the same age range. That's probably all gonna change soon though, as the youngest 3rd gen coming in is only 12 years old!

 

^I don't know how this Senpai-Kohai thing works in Nogi, but I also find it hard to imagine Ikuchan acting as senpai. It's not only about her age, but also because I somehow feel that Ikuchan is someone who is so humble, despite her talents.

I really love this show!! Momoko & Ikuta!!! I love them Both!! but of course! Ikuchan Is my Oshi No.1!!and Momo had to accept that Ikuchan is talented!! Ikuchan is Unique!

 

Ikuchan casted in new "Les Miserables" stage play.

http://www.oricon.co.jp/news/2081996/full/





WOW !!! i mean, its "les miserables" we're talkin about here, and she got the main roles! thats amazing!!

 

This casting was actually announced back in summer. I've been wondering when they will be making their press anouncement, lol.

Ikuchan will be very busy outside of Nogi next year. RomiJuri from Jan to Feb, Les Mis from May to October. Happy for her that she's closer and closer to her dreams, but sad bec Nogi variety ain't the same without her antics. =/
