    Didn't you watch that Depressing Subs sub that had a little documentary about Ikuta from earlier this year (around the Bday Live)? In it she says she submitted her resume on her own without the help of Sony. Even trying out for the auditions normally. I'm sure if you see "Nogizaka46," then you would be intrigued by that. A little name dropping wouldn't hurt, but she didn't have management push her in anyway.

    BTW, here's the link to the Depressing Subs subbed Ikuta portion of the show: https://depressingsubs.com/190401-n...-jinsei-ga-kawaru-ippunkan-no-fukaii-hanashi/

    Honestly, ever since I always thought that Ikuchan grabbing those musical stages are mostly through her own efforts since they once showed a video where she auditioned for Romijuri and was sitting along with another auditionee and yes, that short documentary just confirmed my thoughts. However, with modelling contracts or magazine and Tokyo Girl stuffs appearances, I think that management might have a say with it and I think they use those to push some members. Ofcourse, I’m not discrediting the model members ofcourse lol. They also worked hard with whatever is given to them.

    Even if management didn't push her, but "Nogizaka46" itself give an anvantage for her. At least in the begining.

    My bad though. I think I agree with this even though its contrary to my point earlier lol. Though the auditions and applications may be all her efforts, but maybe they also considered the fact that she is one of the most famous Nogi members so it could be a win-win situation for them :)

    I watched it in Japanese so I think I missed some bits. Thanks for the vid!

    If someone could clarify to me about what's the contractual relationship between Nogi LLC, or Sony, with the girls. I think it's different from how AKB works right? The way I see it AKB is a congregation of several agencies? Like, the girls are assigned to different agencies (like Horipro, etc) and sometimes they got rotated to better agency and announced in the AKB stages. Some girls also seem to be out of touch from AKS's decision because they are with highly reputable agency. So it means AKB doesn't "own" the girl?

    Back to Nogi, for me it seems that Nogi is not just a group (like AKB), but actually their agency (like Horipro).

    With that assumption in mind, does being in an agency guarantee a highway to land gigs in showbiz? If it isn't and they still need to go through audition, why in Ikuta's case the name Nogizaka is exempted?

    This is just questions. In the end, Ikuta deserves the roles and gigs she landed on. Though I understand usually an entertainer with an idol group behind their names tend to be underestimated.

    My friend who just recently watching Nogichuu (and become Ikuchan fans) ask me which Nogi show focusing on her or at least when she have a lot of screen time. I've already suggested all of Nogi's drawing class both from Nogidoko and Koujichuu, 14th single campaign, that famous cooking scene, climbing mount Fuji, and 8th single campaign.

    Does any other show i can suggesting to him? Thank you in advance.

    For Ikuchan I quite like the Yanki episode of NogiDoko EP100 I believe and the recent Bibiri Queen Competition for some great Ikuchan facial expressions.

    No, but thanks for this.
    I remember it's from Nogidoko, i think it's the same episode when Kaz and Manatsu(?) went to Baketon.
