Based on the last Sokosaku episodes (still hoping for the subs), it looks like Ten-chan is very lively (and loud) in the dressing rooms. As she got older, she got more confident in her own skin, and you can see she is quite comfortable when the cameras are rolling. I also suspect than since the 1gen heavy-hitters are gone, that broke whatever little wall remained for her as well as for her genmates, and they can now truly feel "free".
I noticed. She is indeed the Alpha puppy of the group (if we take her age into the equation). For all others, she feels and moves so powerfully and at ease and that adds to her likeability... She is succesful, is being loved by everyone and therefore is ready to conquer the world... Her parents must be so happy and proud!
Even outside the dressing room, she was particularly forward and entertaining in last week's SokoSaku #176, involving music quizzes of various kinds. Enjoyable episode, with Ten and Airi playing prominent roles. I think @Jsprite may have hit on it: the 2gens are now feeling more free with the "heavy hitter" 1gens no longer around. It's wonderful to see Ten becoming the force we always knew she would be. Strangely, I have a feeling that Fuu-chan, too, may seem more at ease recently. @Philosophy Senpai -- "Alpha puppy" lol.
Lately, beside being loud… ten chan has acted cutey like her age supposed to be. In early sokosaku, she often act too mature for her age based on 1ki member’s talk. when karin said that she doesn’t like when people said it’s scary when karin dozed off and stare at her member (especially to ten chan). Ten act cutey and said it’s me who is supposed to feel that way more! It’s scary about her being confident, she always has that confident since early era, she often get closed to camera more than other members. But for me only lately she act cutey and childish like maybe beside 1ki left, but the addition of 3ki, members who have same age as her or even younger makes ten feels more free? Like she can finally act like her age more?
It ain't, I've believed some Sakamichi idols are current incarnations of past deities for awhile. Here's a list of the Buddhist Four Heavenly Kings (in Japanese)- Jikoku-ten (King of the east and god of music): Hirate Yurina Tamon-ten (Chief of the four kings and protector of the north): Sasaki Mirei Komoku-ten (King of the west and one who sees all): Kageyama Yuuka Zocho-ten (King of the south and the one who causes good growth of roots): Saito Asuka And then the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse- White Rider (Gospel): Saito Kyoko Red Rider (Civil War): Sato Shiori Black Rider (Famine): Moriya Akane Green Rider (Death): Suzumoto Miyu No particular deep meaning, just based on members I was interested in at the time
