"She is often said to be the hidden hero of SKE.."I’m only now starting to understand the weight of these words.
Before Nishishi became leader, there have only been reports from other members and fans (sometimes staff) about how kind, helpful and reliable Nishishi was. But now, since because of her position, Nishishi has come out to express her opinions and such on certain things, ie:
dyed hair controversy,
how the fans felt about the revival stages and recently with
all the criticism about how Ryoha was being Jurina’s under.Nishish isn’t the type to write up on things herself, which is why before it was hidden but now that she has to uphold PR, it’s becoming more and more obvious of how she truly cares about the group and the members and it makes me so happy because THIS is the reason why she’s captain, this is why they decided Nishishi was to become leader after Rikki’s leaving.
Because she was already a leader from the start.
If you didn’t know it, in the very beginnings of SKE, Nishishi used to be one of the pushed girls, mainly because since she had to most experience and I can’t exactly remember who said it but one of the members mentioned how Nishishi helped lead them during the early days/S1.
Even after she was regulated to the back row, she never stopped being a leader.
I guess the point I’m trying to make is, Nishishi (just like Rikki) worked behind the scenes helping everyone but now it’s more open because of her position as Leader and Captain, and it makes me happy because it’ll be more known how much she really helps and explains to anyone who wondered why she was granted this position in the first place. Because Nishishi isn’t one to brag or boast about herself at all, she’s so quick to brush off compliments, she posts more about other members than about herself, she pushes and coaches and guides other members to work harder.
She is a kind, reliable and wonderful leader.
And I’m happy that it’s becoming more out in the open.
