Ikuta Erika (Ikuchan) / 1st gen

Thats describe these image recaps

Hope she get another Tv minidocu. I cant get enough. Because it's still so amazing for her being active as idol and musical actress. Both as top hitter. And musical actress isnt something that idol usualy do. She start the trend.

 

Exactly those are the clips!
She works too hard but she loves what she's doing , she just have to take care of her health.

 

What surprised me, from what i read on twitter, her screen time is less than 7 minutes. It's Ikuchan ffs

 

I'm here for the Japanese Cosette

 

it is quite appropriate. she is not pushed, her pushed time already over. she is there because she is already established as the face/front girl.

 

She just updating her blog.

Man, Iku-Kubo-Junna-Kaki unit need to be official.

And pics from Yuzuka Fuka's tweet.

 

Thhanks!

 

It’s not that she needs the screentime as a push lol. Like what you said, she is already an established face/front and it would be nice to show more how she does it because we all know how she tries to balance her outside jobs and Nogi scheds as much as she can despite being so busy. But maybe they want to focus more on her activities with Nogi rather than shoot while she is doing musicals that’s why we only got a short 7 minutes screentime for her.

I hope in the future, they will make a documentary about Ikuchan since she was young because I am still amazed at how she achieved everything right now from all her hardworks. It could be a good way to inspire incoming 46/48G idols that they can do more than what they are usually expected to do as an idol since they seems to be aiming for a worlwide popularity. Even if we say that is how Japanese idol are expected, we cannot say that with the other parts of the world.

 

Yes please!!!

 

That's why they need to add more screentime for her.

 

You can watch Niji no Prelude the Musical here

I'm currently skipping Nogidoko and started to watch Nogichuu
Is there any "must watch" Ikuchan scene at Nogidoko that I shouldn't miss?

thanks

 

While I advise against skipping doko, if you are keen on doing that, then watch all the drawing and cooking episodes (you can find the titles in the Masterlist) since she is a main in all of them. Or, if you're fine with Japanese, this compilation covers all important moments in chronological order:

 

10th single hit campaign. It’s 153 and 154. Also episode 100 with the spicy udon battle versus Ringo. Best episode ever.

One other one: 8th Single Campaign in Macau Doko episodes 123 to 126. It may be Nanase's, but Ikuta's there too.

EDIT: Put the proper doko episode number.

 

Sato Takanori, Irei Kanata, Saito Tsukasa (Yoshimotozaka46), Mori Kumiko, Miura Hiroki, Ikuta Erika (Nogizaka46), Yabiku Tomona and Aiba Hiroki will perform Les Misérables (Master of the House, One Day More) in the music show FNS Music FES. IN SUMMER 2019, the show will be aired on FujiTV on 24 July 2019.

She loves Manatsu ¨¨

 

Is it just me or did Maiyan echo something similar about Iku-chan before?

Didn't see this one coming!

 

Her black hair is back!

 

Looks like Ikuchan accidentally met Asuka in Queens Theatre London. They both watched Les Miserables at the same time. Asuka in London for works. Meanwhile Ikuchan with her family.
