Pizza, Cuca style. This girl loves her olives.

100 Questions!

Her YouTube channel has been very, very quiet lately - I think she finally rain out of videos but from her Twitter - where she's much more active - she's definitely been making more for the future and is certainly in good spirits.

She's baaaaaack - with lemon based condiments and produce. Somewhere, Ichikawa Miori just made an approving, helium voiced sound.

Cute as she is with shorter hair, the ponytail is a good look for her.

 

In some CUCA gonna CUCA news - and this is peak CUCA - her old olive growing friends in Shodoshima sent her a care package just in time for Christmas, including a literal olive branch.



I swear this girl's going to end up growing her own olives. If not groves of the things

 

A double shot of CUCA for Christmas.

Fruit parfait, and I'll give you one guess as to what she pours on it at the end.

And then there's this:

Which should come with some kind of cuteness overload warning.

 

So cute!

I sometimes wonder how MANY videos she's sitting on from before - you can generally tell how old her videos are from how long/short her hair is, but I like this format where she goes to a place, eats something and then makes it herself at home. That strikes me as a very Cuca thing.

 

Cuca apparently stocking up on ingredients - I sense some cooking videos coming up, which is good - her cooking videos are always entertaining, though I think her out and about videos are still my favourite thing she does. I like seeing her go to all these little coffee shops and restaurants where they're obviously all about local produce and recipes, it's like a tour of parts of Japan you don't usually get to see.

And here she is with some coloured contacts in - what else? - olive green.

 

Some nice news for Cuca.
She got a role in a short movie called "Boku to boku to kanojo" (僕とぼくとカノジョ), which is competing in the Sanuki film festival short movies section.

This is so cool and unexpected, good for her!

 

Not sure if it won something.
anyway she tweeted about it today.

 

Hey long time no see !

It's always good to see her post a new video, she's definitely more active on Twitter than YouTube.

Cuca returns! and makes chocolate cake. Ah it's so good to see her

 

The last few days have been gold. A year old cookie video from the vault featuring her favourite cookies and - yeesh - coffee bags, trying to revive McDonalds fries in one of those air fryer/ovens. Needless to say, there's olive oil involved.

But better than both is Cuca's trip to Shodoshima trip:






So happy and cute, and absolutely in her element every step of the way.

 

Has Cuca ever said what other members she's closest to? Suddenly got curious.

 

@Megumibex I don't think it's something she's said much about but the members she appears closest to are, oddly enough, the other members of Aoi Himawari, particularly Aoi and Fukuchan. Also a few graduated members like Kanon, Paruto and Kahotaru. She definitely skews towards the older members rather than girls her own age.

Anyway, a great bumper double bill of Cuca in which she not only plants learns about planting and then plants a few olive trees, and then goes to a great little Shodoshima pizza place and a shrine, which being Japan is halfway up a bloody mountain. She's super upbeat in both, actually she always seems happiest in these Shodoshima videos so it wouldn't surprise me if she ends up living there somewhere down the line, she clearly loves the island.

Slight off topic - but STU related - I believe Shodoshima is where they filmed this.
