Congrats Ikuchan

 

I know she's busy!! The video was the same as her kojin PV from the 17th single. Not enough time and she has to stuff what she can when she can. But I love her for it. Hopefully, she'll get some rest sometime soon. Perhaps, when suika goes for vacation again, she can go with...

Still. I hope this brings her more fans. She's too talented to keep to ourselves.

Best girl.

 

Congrats Ikuchan!

Ikuchan oshi, y'all can say yes to him

 

Well, records are meant to be broken anw. The 2 of them both have unique charm that will ensure their PB success. For Maiyan, it is her beauty and for Ikuta, it is her figure (in the vid, when being asked what was the reason for you buy the PB, one of the girls said "OPPAI").

 

Err... idk, not sure because Maiyan's were heavily advertised and her jobs mostly CMs and mags. All easily access by media.

While Iku's has little less promotions (She dont even doing SR for PB). She has been on theater doing her musicals. Her PB drop from top 10 this week. Probably wont chart as long as Maiyan's.

The interesting part is most of women who buy Iku's PB are on their 30-40ies. That's probably show that she gain quite number of fans from musical audiences. Musical goer mostly women on that age range and older.


An article about her double career as idol and musical actress. Some part said she open door for her idol kohai to be active in musical world too. (Expecting Kubo-chan will fill Juliette on future Romijuri).

So many Ikuchan's current and upcoming works, so little chance to see her in Nogizaka. I will always support her career. But I really miss her as much as I miss Nanase in this group.

The good thing is, there's Nogizaka46 name in this poster. So most likely she will stay until 2020.

 

Fukuyama Masaharu's TV drama Shudan Sasen!! will begin airing on TBS on 21 April 2019.

TBS official site announce the TV drama has invited Nogizaka46 member Ikuta Erika to participated in, she will be Mitsutomo bank's image girl and her posters will appear in the TV drama, however she will not have actual acting appearance in the TV drama.

Kataoka Hiroshi (Fukuyama Masharu) is a staff in Mitsutomo bank, one day he was promoted to Kamata branch manager, but he is also informed that the branch will be shut down soon, and after the branch's shutdown, he will be transfer bank to the bank's headquarter... The TV drama is adapted from the Ebato Tetsuo's novel of the same title.

Anyone knows where to find Ikuta`s 2nd photobook "Intermission"? I look in several pages but without luck. Thaks!!

 

^ I do have a copy of "Intermission", but interestingly it hasn't even popped up on Aidoru-Online either. (Or even some other recent Sakamichi photobooks as well, e.g. Watanabe Miho, Kobayashi Yui, Watanabe Risa. Why?)

 

No one willing to break the spines on their books to scan them?

 

As it should be. The pb is worth every cent. Support it by purchasing a copy.

maybe because it's only 3 months? i don't know about earlier, but if i'm not mistaken, hoshino, reika and maichun pb was uploaded in aidoru or jpopsuki around 8 months after release date, wasn't it? maybe like unwritten rule?
well, i do have the copy of the book, but i don't have scanner so i just wait for someone to upload it so i can update my desktop background
