I still remember seeing Mocchi for the first time at Anime Expo. Seeing them only on TV, DVD, and paper really can make them seem larger than life, almost too good to be true. Mocchi, even in person, still seemed that way. Radiantly beautiful. I really couldn't believe how hot she was. I also agree that the move to Team A was a good one for her. It let her branch out for sure. I really like her "genuine" vibe, like when that wrestler dude surprised her on AKBINGO. She was so happy that he acknowledged her and it was so sweet getting to watch her meet him and attend that wrestling event. Sometimes it's good to know that not everything about these idols is a made-up shtick. Sadly she seems to be one of the many girls stuck in the middle of AKB48, but I'm glad she's involved with the super cool French Kiss unit and we get to see her around from time to time.
