    I think it was on valentine episode they refer asuka with -chan the first time.
    The main reason (first name) im not sure, but i guess it has thing to do because there two other saito in the group and asuka is one of the youngest at the time affect that chemistry.

    I'm also guessing it was because of other saitos and asuka being the youngest in the group before. But how come they don't call ayame in her first name? Anyway, its alright. Thanks for answering!

    Bananaman didnt call Iwamoto Renka as renka but as Iwamoto.
    It's more to do with members with similar Surnames .
    If members have similar names, Shitara would call them by their full name and nickname ex.
    Ito Riria, Ito Junna , Ito Karin
    Saito Yuuri, Saito Chiharu then Asuka Chan

    This will happen with Sato Kaede
    Currently , Shitara calls her by Sato but since Sato Rika is there They would call them by their Full name.

    Agreed that Bananaman usually would use their full names when there are two or more with the same family names. The thing is I don't think I've heard them call Saito Yuuri, "Yuttan," or Saito Chiharu, "Chi-chan." At least not when Bananaman directly addressed them from the podium. Maybe in a follow up after a member uses their nickname.

    Which leads me to think they are just following the members lead. I think most members call her Asuka, too. They will use the names members use.

    As for 3rd or 4th Gens, there's probably still a distance there that they feel they haven't crossed yet.

    the first consideration is more in the surname, but i just think that being the young one also makes them more leisure to call her in the first name, guess ima wrong. back then I remember they refer Asuka in full name but not later on nogichuu as they also being closer.
    sometimes if not mistaken they also slip adressing Ito Karin as Karin-chan or Saito Chiharu as chi-chan like occasionally but not directly either. like "saito chiharu. chi-chan?"
    bananaman also not refer Miria as simply Watanabe if am not mistaken. so I guess that surname too generic(?) also play role idk :D.

    Bananaman isn't that close with 3ki & 4ki. However, for member with unique nickname, they usually call them by that nickname, for example Umemayo. And, I think, it is not only Asuka or Miria, sometimes, Bananaman also call Maaya with her surname, and Shitara even call her Dawa, when her bakaness show up.:D
    As for 3ki & 4ki, they need more time to get close to them. If you watch Nogizaka Doko E, you can see that sometimes, Saraba Higashibukuro call Ayame with her surname, and Kanagawa with her nickname, Yanchan, because they are quite close with 4ki.

    I voted for her so I'm super happy. She deserves #1. I always felt she was one of the most liked members by non-fans.

    lol even now with her winning number 1 in stage48 ranking has less people to congratulate in her personal thread. i dont think she is as well known as ikuta in S48. wonder what had happened.
