what makes her so special

  • Probably because she was already a famous idol with a huge existing fanbase in japan years before produce, where she debuted in 2012 iirc. She was ranked #3 in the whole of AKB when she joined the produce show, and one of the few younger akb members the public might recognize.


    The ranking then was decided by election once a year, where one vote equaled one physical copy of their latest single which basically cost the same as a normal album. She had 141k votes, so around 140k physical copies were bought by her fandom just to vote for her in the last election. In total since her first election in 2012, she accumulated 313k votes.


    It also probably didn't hurt that she was basically the protege of Sashihara Rino who was the number one in akb from 2013 until 2019 when she quit (over 1m votes in total for her alone were cast in the elections over the years).

    AKB used to be the biggest and most successful idol group in Japan, with over 300 concurrent members, the top 7 (called kami 7) were basically everywhere and probably among the most recognized female celebrities in the country when akb was at its peak (2009-2014). And while they are not as popular anymore they still sell around 1-1,5m per single, 4m+ every year.

    what is protege

  • I didn't get it before either until I saw a couple of her fancams. Her facial expressions are very good, especially her eyes.

    No she isn't, I've seen several fancams of other idols and while some are better at singing or dancing they don't have very good expressions or timing for them. She knows when and how to look at the camera, she has a lot of experience so its not surprising. Everyone has different taste, if you don't see it then it's probably not to yours.
