Nakano Ikumi (Ikumin) / Team 8

So glad she made it on Produce48. The show will be good for her and vice versa

 

Well I want to be optimistic but so many much more popular girls are there too.
And we know that skills don't matter à lot vs fan voting.

 

I don't care if she wins as long as she gets to show her amazing performance.
I'm pretty sure the judges will be impressed. And the audience, even if they don't vote for her.

 

She might improve a lot in singing thanks to the show heavy training. She might end up being unbeatable in Eito.

Crap I'm too modest.
I mean in AKB

 

i think this is a good decision by Ikumin
she can showcase her dancing skills there and i think they will be much more appreciated there than in akb

 

I am so happy Ikumin joined PD48! I can't wait to see her performances! I hope she gets far though. I really don't want her to get eliminated so quickly.

 

Happy for her.

I really hope she makes the final group and it translate into a bigger popularity in Japan.

 

i'm glad Ikumi find another way to reclaim her throne..so happy she's join into this monster show
PD48 will help her growth to next level

I have faith in Ikumin.
Im so proud of her!! I hope she'll be fine.

 

I think PD48 is definitely a great way for Ikumin to not let her skills go to waste considering how management tossed her to the side ! I think she'll do great there even with the other popular members being involved. I hope she goes far and gets a major confidence boost! (which I know is slightly lacking after arguably losing her Team 8 center).

 

It'll definitely be good for her. Although, sadly, I don't think she'll ever get another push in AKB... she has always shown a lot of leadership and always helps other girls a lot so I could see her in the GM role and perma-senbatsu after a few more older girls have graduated.

It seems she didnt reach the top rank in the first evaluations.

 

Honestly, kinda salty because even Tomu is with the ribbon. Tomu isn’t the best at singing so I’m assuming that it’s the dancing that saved her so I’m kinda sad that it didn’t happen with Ikumin. Hopefully, she can rank higher later

 

haha

I wish one day they get rid of that way of thinking... and if they don't at least stop say it out loud
