There was a time where I wasn't into Miichan at all. Then, I started to turn around. I can even show you the picture that started the turnaround.
There was a meme going around that Miichan looked like Gachapin. The fact that she was able to laugh at herself about it made me start to wonder if I had jumped the gun on her. As I watched and learned more about her, I concluded that I most certainly had. Yes, she sometimes lays her shtick on very thick, but I find it kind of endearing that she cares so much about being entertaining. And entertaining, she is. She's had epic moments on every single AKB48 TV program, adds quite a bit of fun to MC's, and on top of all that actually performs very well. She's 33.33~% of the reason why No Sleeves is such a great subunit, 70% of why Gyakuten Oujisama is such a fun unit song in K6, and 7% of why the AKB TV programs are so fun to watch. Nowadays she's definitely one of my favorite AKB48 TV personalities. She's become a pro at that medium.
Oh, and it doesn't hurt that she's gotten pretty damn sexy, too.
