I'd just like to note that the crab story in the TPF-subbed profile movie is not translated quite right.
How the story goes is that her first pet crab, which they named "Kanira", came from a family trip to the ocean.
Then when it died, her mother bought a replacement crab from the market, even though those crabs are for eating.
They named that one "Kanira Ni-go" (Kanira #2) and continued giving the same name with every crab afterwards.
She says they're up to about #16 now.
I'm pretty sure the name "Kanira" comes from the pattern of "-ra" names of many movie monsters.
Examples of this are "Godzilla" (Gojira), "Mothra", and "Gamera".
I can remember she's told this story before, probably during an event or on the radio, I'm not sure.
----------------------------------------
Far better character for her to play is "Japan's Sweetheart" like Nacchi was depicted. Mizuki is 15, and the whole let's make her the sexy one movement has 'Risako , the 13 year old sex bomb' overtones.
The thing about Fukuchan being the sexy one is that she's just like that without being conscious of it.
I'm not sure if it's something in her eyes or the way she carries herself or how she dances, but there's something about her that draws you in.
Looking at 2ch, they've been calling her "danchi tsuma" ever since she joined the eggs.
Even girls get this impression:
Sayu goes into one of her game corners titled “What if…” In this corner, a listener gave Sayu the following situation: What if you were given full producer control to make an idol dvd. You get to pick location, outfits, design, everything. Who and what type of DVD would you make?
Sayu responded with Fukuchan. She says that 9th gen Morning Musume member Fukumura Mizuki is an amazing girl that absolutely does not look like a middle schooler. She has a sex appeal about her that Sayu would like to bring out in the form of a sexy young wife image. For location, Sayu wants it to definitely be a house setting (I guess like Hello Channel) with the primary spot in the kitchen. She says Fukuchan has white/pink skin so Fukuchan should wear a sleeve-less white or pink shirt that matches her skin color so you can’t really tell where the border is between her skin and shirt. Sayu also wants Fukuchan to wear an apron to go along with the shirt so that from the front, it would look like she’s naked (since the shirt and her skin blend) but from the side you can tell she isn’t.
In her Shuwa Shuwa mail corner, Riho gets an email asking since it is Spring now, if she were to have a BBQ out in the mountains with H!P girls, who would be in charge of what?
...
Shopping for ingredients: Fukuchan
- Riho thinks Fukuchan is good at picking out things while shopping. She has a housewife-y aspect to her.
Rihoriho gets an email asking “If you had to put Morning Musume into super sentai roles (aka the Power Rangers roles) of Red, Blue, Yellow, Green and Pink – which girls would you choose?”.
...
Pink: Fukuchan. She is the most mature and adult-like (I assume she means of the 9th/10th lol)
So it seems like this sexy housewife feeling is just part of who Fukuchan is.
It's definitely a part of her appeal, but it's by no means all of it.
