Ikuta Erika (Ikuchan) / 1st Gen

High quality scans usually come from Chinese fans. However, in the past 1~2 years, they already stopped doing it. So, the only option is to buy yourself a copy.

 

I love her version of Mizutama Moyou

The short documentary about Ikuchan was already subbed.

Thank you so much to this person who subbed that docu because it made me admire Ikuchan much much more. They mentioned that she is the number one idol of the new era, specifically the reiwa era. I was actually surprised at first because it was so brave for them to call her that way since many nogi fans might disagree as in Nogi, they consider her to be just after Ashu/Maiyan. But after finishing the whole docu, I can say that they might actually be right calling her as the number one idol for the new gen. I was also amazed that she wrote her own CV and applied through a normal audition for musical. No wonder she is blessed with a really good career, because she is hardworking and don’t just depend on what her connections can do for her. Also, it was cute how those older ladies are fans of her and many bought her photobooks.

 

She gonna make guest appearance in NHK Life!
To be aired on 5/6

Iku with strawberries

 

Ikuchan proved once again that she is the ultimate fave 46G member with the international fans (atleast with the stage48 members).
Because of these where she usually wins, I have been thinking that if Nogi would really promote globally, (I think Ikuchan have mentioned it several times that she wants Nogi to be known more outside Japan) they can have her as the front member for that promotion. But ofcourse this is only a part of the international fans lol.

 

Still replaying this

[dead link]

Wish if someday she hold solocon again, she add more rock track on her setlist.

Finally long waited IkuMai

And IkuYuta pic



Read that some obasan shipping them. And it's cute. Furukawa call her Ikuchan, then one of interviewer surprise and ask, "Ikuchan?". Then they ask Iku how she call Furukawa Yuta. Iku address him with "Furukawa-san", because he is her senpai.

Both are rising star in musicals scene. Musical fans named Furukawa as New Musical Prince. While media call Iku as Musical Princess, though Iku herself disagree. She aware that she still need to improve herself.

Other musical star call Iku-phenomenon on theater as Ikuta Musou. She grab heroine role one and another. Attract idol fans, mostly young male, to theater. Having more than 20% male audiences esp the younger on musical play is very rare.

At first, regular theater goer feel uneasy because Nogi fans didnt know theater etiquette. But now, nogi fans less troublesome.

 

Ikuchan appearance as an image girl in Shudan Sasen drama.

 

I'm just glad that Iku sang this song all by herself. I think only her can give justice to this song with her strong vocal.

 

Reiwa era already started,right? So it means that Ikuchan’s era as top rep for Reiwa idols also started

 

300 pictures will be delivered on her PB account to celebrate 300k copies that has been printed.
