Self-introduction:

 

Same birthday as captain Manatsu and senpai Maiyan

 

She must be the member that Manatsu said was 12 years younger than her.

 

She looks like Imai Yu from 2gen AKB48

 

A former child actress, huh.

 

Nothing against her but another Chiba girl?! So much for the 80000 applicants (was it?)

 

What's wrong with the prefecture? They chose based on various criteria and I don't think prefecture is included. So having lots of Chiba girls are just coincidence imo.

 

Nothing wrong with Chiba but I personally would like to see members from different prefectures. One positive is that they are close to home.

 

Translated handwritten profile:

 

She have a really nice voice, if she practice more on stability on her vocal, she could be one of good vocalist in nogi

 

I don't know why but her looks reminds me a bit of Maimai.

This 5ki generation has made me think of similarities in some way or another between them and previous members or celebrities.
So far, I think:
Satsuki = Nanamin
Iroha = Maimai
Nagi = A Japanese actress, I forgot what her name was.
Ioki = A Korean actress whom I also forgot her name haha.
Oh and Nao looks like a Baby seal

 

From the background story preview Iroha somehow reminds me of Wakatsuki. Doesn't look like her but when Iroha was talking and then she smiled, I suddenly thought of Yumi.

On the other hand, Ichinose's big smile from their first individual video reminds me of Reika.

 

I'm very happy to find out that Iroha is front row in the first 5th Gen song. Coupled with the fact that she was center for a song at their omitatekai, it feels like there's some supporters behind the scenes. Now if only we can get the fans to like her... (it shouldn't be hard to beat out the 2 suspended 5th Gens, right?)

 

Her father is former Johnny's?

Most interesting news. I wonder if her stock will rise with fans?

Seems also that there will be one member to not get entangled with a Johnny because of her dad! https://twitter.com/sinigami1984/status/1505874656427130881?s=20&t=4AxpFkKKjaXSAZvQ_FRXfg

 

There's a video of her dancing to Influencer , it is pretty decent.

 

It's either from the PV on the 29th single or from the 5th Gen performance from their omitatekai. If it's in what looks to be a karaoke room, then it's from the single.

 

Kitano was Iroha's oshimen? (See nogichuu). I wonder if she made it to the grad concert Thursday? I did see a tweet from the account that mentioned it, but now the account is gone... I hope she did get to see her oshimen graduate.

 

I finally put it together. She did go to Kii-chan's graduation concert. That's why she was the only 5th Gen to get the COVID along with half of the Unders.　　Welp good for her for attending and not for contracting the virus.

In other developments, it looks like she's got a fan in Yuna-chan.
