I'm a bit surprised Chikano isn't more popular. She's always smiling and goofing around. The agency did their best to get her face out there; calendar, trading cards, CMs, IV, etc... but somehow she never took of. I enjoy watching her in her 'kore kara' show with Fujie. However, that show isn't all that interesting so I'm not surprised it isn't watched by the majority of AKB48's casual fans.
I wish Chikano the best of luck in the future. I especially hope she'll get another IV (in the same vein of Fujie's please) and that she'll get to appear on AKBingo more often. She is entertaining, give her a chance to show it of.
