I feel bad for Shiichan. I feel like she is one of many who have fallen through the cracks of this large conglomerate. I'm glad she has at least a noticeable spot in A6 but I think she should have done more. As for me personally, I feel like I should pay more attention to her, but there's really nothing for me as an overseas fan to pay much attention to. I always enjoy seeing her in the LoD's though. She definitely gives off the "I want to be here" vibe. Aside from her good, fun presence, she's also stunning. In up close shots, she looks way better to me than many of the gravure veterans. Honestly I think she is one of the hotter girls in AKB48, but again, she gets so few chances to really show it.
Such is the curse of being into these groups, I guess.
