this is to make up for my 100th post, which I used up without knowing it. It was a vote for "something wild's sig" on the akbattle post too. Meaning it was like three word long! i fail lol.
My 150th Post, Dedicated to
生田絵梨花
Ikuta Erikaalso known as Ikuchan, Erika-sama.
When I first start taking interest in Nogizaka, I didn't really take note of Ikuchan.
But as I begin to follow Nogizaka more closely, it just become literally impossible to not notice her!
The amount of talents Ikuchan hold is unreal. Ultimately, however, this in itself is not what make her my nogi-oshi,
but rather is a combination of talents, failing amusingly (& still be cute), & most importantly her characters. So to start of:
1. Unparalleled Piano Mastery!I said it before & I will say it again. She doesn't just play piano, she
represented Tokyo in national competition!
Such awesomeness is certainly not a common sight, let alone to be seen in an idol group!
2. Opera Power!Ikuta Erika (生田絵梨花) TV 2011.10.16 - Showing Off (Nogizakatte Doko ep03)Ever wonder how can Ikuchan dominate the Parco stage? Well here's your answer!
Singing is part of idols' everyday life. Erika-sama however brings it to a whole new level.
Skillfully combining some interesting facts about herself into a opera-styled self-intro, there is little wonder why she can play Alice six out of nine times!
3. Acting & Voice-acting Prowess!
She already played in a movie before even joining Nogizaka (Beginning of Toilet no Hanako-san, a ghost movie.)
Her short acting segment in Nogi,Doko was exceptional imo. She is of course also going to be voice acting in the upcoming Hunger Game!
It is said that her voice-acting easily surpassed the competition in Nogizaka. Certainly another impressive talent.
4. She can talk!
This relates to her voice acting skill; she has a very likable voice that can easily translate into superb radio talking & mcing success.
She can also be a good conversationist too, as seen above where I think she can easily be the interviewer instead of the interviewed!
5. Overwhelming amount of talents!Ikuta Erika (生田絵梨花) 2012.02 - Guru Guru Curtain DVD ContentNot only does she know piano & opera, acting & voice acting. She knows Hyakunin Isshu (百人一首).
She knows calligraphy. She knows ballet. She have theatre experiences.
She can be funny. She even know Alto horn!
Whatever that is. 6. She can fail & still be awesome.She may have unlimited talent, with a background that some describe as an ojousama from a manga, but the thing is she doesn't feel like one.
Althou she was raised in Germany till age five, she doesn't look like an ojousama, & doesn't really act like one normally.
She is described as "natural" (天然, I think there's a silly inference in the term thou.)
All this is part of the wonderful mix of talents & characters that make her truly unique!
9. She can still classy & elegant.
She is usually natural. But sometime elegance is required, & that's not a problem for Ikuchan.
A little versatility never hurts.
10. She try her best!
go to 7:15 mark.
Nothing moves me more then seeing people trying their best, even thou the task is difficult.
Certainly, eating super-spicy foods does not seems like that much of a challenge,
but Ikuchan, in this case, was eating spicy food for the first time ever in her life!
Seeing her shrugging of her shaking hand as a "physical reaction" really show her to be determined.
While ultimately, she fails to proceed, this determination really impressed me!
