If you're referring to that short, impromptu interview from Kawamura, Iseki Risa certainly did not gain any WOW points during that.
I didn't really get anything out of her encounter with Kawamura, she barely spoke. I'm talking about the interview with the staff here.
https://fansama.fujitv.co.jp/movie/sp_idoling.aspI was very alarmed watching this, her behavior goes beyond just being shy or something, I don't even know where to start because she has big issues in so many ways. But I mean that's in a scenario that she even has potential or talent, I still don't know if she can sing or not, and she's clearly not a seasoned dancer, and honestly I just don't sense anything out of her that would indicate that she's an Idoling material. No disrespect to those who are rooting for Iseki, but based on the info. I have, she's at the last place as far as making the cut among the finalists.
Something about Izumi just makes me feel uncertain beginning with her looks, umm no offense but she hasn't aged well in the last 2 years...and while I appreciate her love for Idoling, I feel that it's not that relevant in evaluating the finalist themselves, I mean Ito Yuna also was a fan before joining and it didn't really matter in just how long it took for her to blend in. She's exactly not a charming personality type either after watching the interview with the staff, that is a big red flag for me. If she turns out to be a real bitch and NO TALENT, it would be too painful for me to watch.
I think Iseki and Izumi have the biggest potential for being flops, well Iseki is on a completely different planet all by herself...I really wanted to like Izumi but my natural instincts suggest otherwise.
