I gotta post here cuz this kid was so sweet, easily the nicest one. She was receptive to everyone, and clearly enjoyed being around her fans. Props to you, Mitsui!

^ xD

Seriously, I admit I often wondered why Tsunku picked her in the auditions. Obviously we found out why! In all the Anime Expo reports I've read, everyone has had nothing but good things to say about her. Guess you really have to see her in person to fully appreciate her.

But obviously, just reading about it makes me like her more.

^ been reading that.

When I first heard about Aika - I couldn't figure out why Tsunku picked her.... but she has grown into one of my favorite members. Plus she's so damn cute. (Please UFA - give her a PB! - she's asked for one)

My Aika story:
When she was first selected, I was completely "WTF???" because out of the finalists, to me she seemed to be the one with the least potential for being an idol/singer/entertainer. I admit, I was "WTF WAS SOONK THINKING?" when he chose her over Sumire (whom I thought was the no-brainer choice). Have to admit though, she's grown on me in a "smartmouthed, sidekick little sis" type of vibe.

My favourite thing about Aika:
She has a dry sense of humour, almost like a lite version of sarcasm. She can tsukkomi simply by delivering a line in a completely deadpan tone.

A memorable performance:
[MM Fanclub] BE Positive! (Aika Mitsui)
I remember thinking that this was a pretty ambitious song for her to do, considering the added dancing AND the fact that it was completely live. After all, we all know that Aika's not the strongest singer, and this song is probably near, if not at the peak of her vocal range. Still, she went ahead and did it anyway, and while it wasn't the strongest perf, she still gave it her best shot.

A moment that made me laugh:
Got 2 of them, both of which happened during MM appearances on Music Fighter. First was during their promo for Resonant Blue, when King Kong suggested that she be JunLin's "instructor."

Second was during their Nanchatte Renai promo, when she got all whiny/pouty/upset at being called a country bumpkin, then getting pissed and snapping at Junjun when the latter said she could be a "country yankii."

A moment that surprised me:
Her set of Yorosen eps when she was the sensei. To be honest, I didn't think I'd like or possibly even watch her eps, but seeing her truly genuine excitement/affection for pets...I dunno...just couldn't bring myself to dislike that.

A video that I like:
The Music Fighter Resonant Blue appearance that I linked to. Aika's little speech about being lonely and jealous (even if she didn't outright admit it) when JunLin got more attention than she did from the other members was definitely unexpectedly real/un-idolish. At the very least it's not the sort of thing that you'd expect an idol/entertainer to publicly admit on TV. It took guts for her to do that, and I found it admirable that she did it.

My Aika story: Aika's been cool with me since she joined, but I remember starting to like her more when I watched Morning Musume Alo-Hello. She seemed really genuinely energetic and enthusiastic about things, and I thought she'd be an awesome gal to hang out with!
My favourite thing about Aika: How genuine she is. lol it's true
A memorable performance: Not a perf but I liked her in Egao Yes Nude PV, the part where she rolls around and looks like a puppy. lol
A moment that made me laugh: Music Fighter where she was pouting
A moment that surprised me: In her first Hello Morning ep, she seemed quite brave already in front of the camera, instead of being shy and reserved.
Ya know when Tsunku was auditioning girls in Korea, he said he didn't find anyone whom he could almost instantly put on stage. But I think Aika was the kind of girl that he could. When she started she fitted in quite quickly and I remember other people saying that, too. It's too bad that people don't like her for her looks or whatever.

I just noticed that in the Morning Musume dvd magazine vol 26 Mittsi is wearing heels. That's the first time i've seen her in heels in over a year since her surgery. Maybe it's cause she's not performing.
