Shiichan started out a bit like Fujie, in the sense that there was a lot of focus on the negative things. "My line at handshake events is shorter than the other girls
" etc. Getting fans out of pity isn't a good way to make an appeal for yourself imo.
However! She really turned things around this past year. She appeared on AKB to XX a lot, she's energetic in AKBingo and Shukan, etc.
She's a bit of a mix between Miichan and Sashihara. She always tries to go for the laugh, but there may be some 'fail' involved in the process
So yeah, even though she's not really my type, I gotta give her props for making a name for herself. Competition's very tough, but she stands her ground.
