The Idoling!!! Staff ThreadThe Official Staff blogIdoling!!! Main MC: Hidetomo "Bakarhythm" Masuno / 升野英知 / バカリズムOfficial site /
Official "blog" (While this is a genuine blog, the entries are all Masuno portraying to be an office lady blogging about her private life.)
Main MC since the start of the show and group. Is according to himself an extremely shy person, but when it comes to Idoling!!! he does a 180°. Is also active outside of the show as a solo comedian (formerly a duo) known for his surreal jokes and acts. As the main MC of the show Masuno wants to strive for it to be as clean as possible, meaning he has no contact with any of the girls privately and has been keeping that way.
As a comedian he's fairly known after appearing several times on popular shows such as
Bakushou Red Carpet,
The Red Theater and
Matsumoto Hitoshi no OO na hanashi. He's also made a name for himself in the annual contest for solo comedians
R-1 Grand Prix.
Fuji TV Announcer: Sayaka Morimoto / 森本さやかOfficial profileFormer model. Has been a support MC since the beginning of the show, creating the dekoboko duo with Masuno because of her 177cm compared to Masuno's 165cm. Is popularly referred to as "Aniki" by various people and the Idoling!!! fans.
Fuji TV Announcer: Maiko Saitou / 斉藤舞子Official profileOne of the original support MCs along with Morimoto, and one of the less serious announcers out there with no exception when working with Idoling!!!. Is extremely sadistic and infamous for having made the immovable
Maipuru cry by hitting her with a bat.
