* SKE Kitagawa Yoshino talked about the play during the handshake event. Video

And before this became old news; Report and some of the after talk parts from the play (especially on the last day) - most came from the after talk:

No. Ikomasubs was already inactive for a few years I think. Now a lot of Ikoma fans depend on Sasuga Posts for English subbed videos.
But if you understand Chinese, you can follow her fan club on weibo or search for her videos on bilibili (Chinese fans are fast in subbing, and they subbed way more stuffs compared to the ones from english-speaking fandom).

 

Sadly my chinese knowledge is the same with my japanese knowledge = zero knowledge

Nandakore! ? & Hayashi osamu doriru Nihon no nazo o kaimei! Gattai SP:

 

ikoma went to kawagos graduation underlive. that was nice of her

https://www.instagram.com/p/BrnTI8mlV8X/

 

She's very supportive even she's already graduated.
Seems Yuttan and Iori(?) also went there with her..

 

Also, Umezawa, Denchan, and Ito Riria -- they're senbatsu at the moment.

Ikoma is always supportive of the members. I believe that is true for them all. Once an Nogi always a Nogi.

 

I almost think that they're under member since they wore dark dress make them look almost same with other member lol

Shonen Shachu 20th Anniversary Final "Turandot - Dream of the boy sleeping in ruins" Natalie Exclusive Interview (Mouri Nobuhiro, Ikoma Rina, Matsuda Ryou)

Full interview: https://natalie.mu/stage/pp/shonenshachu20th03

• Mouri chose Ikoma and Matsuda to be the main casts this time as to him, they matched and suited the 'purity' for the roles. He also believes that they could deliver the tagline message "Change the world in theater. Change the world"
• Ikoma wanted to be an actress after she starred in Moma's Mars Exploration - it was the trigger for her.

She will appear on the NTV "Gyōretsu no dekiru hōritsusō danjo 3 hour SP" on 13th of January at 7 PM JST. This will be her first time co-starring with Ichiki Rena after both of them graduated .


Some stuffs revealed in the Ijuuin's radio show & from other Nogi members:

• Ijuuin's radio show (Source) -she already said most of the stuffs before, but I'm just going to repeat it back here.
• Ikoma auditioned for Nogizaka (which was at that time nameless - the audition was stated as 'AKB48 Official Rival') on the recommendation of her father, who was worried seeing her living high school life (she didn't join any club and only spent her time at home). He was actually really opposed to the entertainment industry, as he would even refuse to appear in interview on local TV station so everyone was surprised when he suggested her to audition (her mother said to her when she passed that "it must be God who moved his heart")
• Ikoma at that time was actually bored with her school life, to the point that she thought that it would be okay even if she quits (although she actually got into trouble when she really wanted to do it).
• She said that because she was bullied before this, she would quits if the same thing happened to her in Nogizaka, but everyone in Nogizaka is really kind.
• She also said that there is no one who would bully her in the entertainment industry, that's why she's able to continue in showbiz.
• Asuka's Showroom: Ikoma would occasionally come to greet members in dressing room, surprising them with "Yaho!~" so it doesn't really feel lonely for Asuka even though she had graduated.
• Rajira!
  
• From Turandot's Nico-Nico Douga Live:
• The play this time has the hardest and the most dancing scenes compared to other works by the company.
• Many are astonished with her dancing part, one of them almost cried watching it.
• Ikoma considered Shonen Shachu to be her family (other than Nogizaka).
  
• Matsuda Ryou said that even though she is a princess, it feels like she is a protagonist/hero in heart (which ends in his declaration of love towards her). - He also wears her graduation concert's t-shirt, "to prove his love towards her for everyone who didn't believe it".
• The thing that Mouri likes the most about her is her energy, and her constant improvement every day (he started having interest in her due to her Seifuku no Mannequin performance in Budoukan back in 2012).
• Nekojita's Showroom: Umezawa also wrote a New Year card for her.

And it's already 29th of December in Japan, which means that she is already 23 years old today!!
Happy Birthday to Ikoma-chan and wish that she will have a prosperous year ahead!!
(Fans can also wish her directly on her IG's DMs, since she will actually read all the messages)​

 

Happy Birthday Ikoma-chan

 

Happy birthday ikoma!

 

Happy 23rd birthday ikoma-chan!!!

 

Happy Birthday Ikoma-chan!!

* They planned out birthday surprise for her (because Ikoma said that she wants to celebrate with them before this). The staffs passed out the psyllium to other casts before the celebration (they lighted up the blue and purple colour - her psyllium colours when she was in Nogizaka)- complete with Against BGM before that (courtesy of her mini birthday committee).
