1.) Appearing on Mechaike: Her personality was truly expressed for the first time here. Definitely memorable moments for her here. Most people have only seen the first mechaike test she appeared in, however she appeared several other times in the show and even took the test a second time where she was second-to-last place.

2.) Center of Hasute to Wasute: This made her popular and I'm glad she was center Baka. The song is pretty catchy too.

3.) Senbatsu for Sugar Rush: This is the first AKB48 song to be used for the global market, so Akimoto made sure that he picked the biggest members possible for the song. Everyone chosen were regular senbatsu members that appeared in at least one lead single or stage song. Kawaei was the exception. I think it made people search her up more.

4.) Sports mechaike special: I am separating this from number one because we see another new side to her. She is really good at sports!

5.) Viking TV show: She was a regular on this show and her normal side was seen on a weekly basis. It is amazing how beautiful and honest she is.

With commentary:

Spoiler

1. The Mechaike baka test - I was first hooked by her photos that I saw after accidentally finding her on the 48 wiki and then googled her lol. Then I asked around what should I watch, and the mecha test was suggested. Since there was more focus on her in that show, it was the moment I fell in love. As she was looking at the camera with her shining, smiling eyes, I was grinning happily at my monitor and that was that lol. I was sold to those eyes, 19 months ago. I also thought the whole baka thing was adorable and she made it funny. Also undoubdably the breakthrough point in her akb48 career followed by centering "Hasute to Wasute" that ranked pretty well at Request hour next year.
2. "Kodoku na Hoshizora", double center with Mayuyu - this was the first akb48 MV with her that I saw and I truly loved the song and the MV and I still do, she is gorgeous there. My jaw dropped for real
3. The sport Mechaike - I watched it shortly after the baka test and I found more reasons to like her. I like girls who are good at sports and more 'hardcore' in general lol. I was really surprised and taken by the contrast, super small and super kawaii appearance vs good at sports and a bit tomboyish character.
4. Kawaei during the MC breaks at the akb48 theater - I'd suggest, if you want to feel better the true colors of the personality of a certain member, watch the theater shows with her. I saw all shows with her that I could find, mostly cuz of the MC breaks. I have countless of happy memories of Kawaei and the interactions with her fellow members and I cherish them, even the sad moments, cuz everything there, in the small theater, feels more sincere than anywhere else. This is where I am going to miss seeing her the most.
5. Her theater comeback stage after the incident - Ah, what a happy day that was. Though she was visibly extremely nervous and I remember she messed up a few times her speech at the end, it was really cute. Sadly, the great relief from her coming back there, didn't last long
6. Her role in the drama "Shark" - I am very picky when it comes to acting, so I was skeptical at first and even hesitated whether to watch it, cuz I was afraid it might ruin the good impression she has left in me so far. I saw it and ended up, once again, pleasantly surprised by this young girl. She was really natural in her acting, even in the more emotional scenes, she did pretty good. Actually, it's my favorite Kawaei's role so far.
7. When she got cast for the drama "Gomen ne Seishun" - Shortly after she had started to express her growing love for acting, she was given this role in a pretty decent quality drama and best quality I dare say in her acting career so far. She again did well with portraying her character and I believe this role increased her popularity among the general public. Sorry to say, but appearing in two "Majisuka Gakuen" seasons afterwards, felt like a step back, quality roles wise. Plus, giving her a baka role again, kind of overshadowed the idea of passing the U Can Challenge exam aka to move away from the baka image.
8. Appearing at 2014 SSK and her speech - I was so happy and shocked at the same time to see her appearing there, just shortly after the incident.. She was really strong to go on that stage and smile again for everyone who was worried sick about her. Even though, she couldn't keep her word from SSK and ended up leaving akb48, I'm proud and thankful she stayed for so long, even thought it was very hard for her.
9. The news of her joining Avex Vanguard after leaving AKB48 and AKS - I was legit worried what will happen to her after leaving akb48 and this news made me extremely happy and for the first time, relieved, after the announcement of her graduation.
10. Sasshi feat AnRiRe ''Ikujinashi Masquerade'' - She is so adorable in the MV and in the live performances It was a huge exposure for her.
11. Her request hour ''Rappa Renshuuchou'' performance - I can't think of another performance that is more filled with Kawaei's 'kawaiiness Her cuteness really shines there.
