    I was really impressed with her piano skills when I saw this on the show. Fantastic. I consider her and HKT's Madoka piano prodigies and quite possibly better than Sakiko. Sometimes, I wonder if they made a good choice because IMHO being a virtuoso classical pianist > idol; all those idol-related time could be spent practicing on the ivories. Hopefully they continue on this path during and after their idol stint. Such enormous talents shouldn't go to waste.

    As for her cooking, as well as Matsumura's, let's just say there's plenty of room for improvement. :D Also, I like that part whenever they call her Erika-sama and that silly royal waltz BGM plays. Gets me each time. :D

    So funny, cute, bright, beautiful. Wow. I admit she's not much of an attention grabber at first glance but she really grows on you.

    She reminds me SO MUCH of A-chan (the one from Perfume not AKB48).

    Happy birthday to our beloved child prodigy Ikuchan!

    For people unaware of Ikuta Erika, she is hands down the most talented member of Nogizaka! Born in Germany, has one of the best voices, is a theater enthusiast, plays piano, sings opera, and is a fairly well balanced dancer (Dance senbatsu on NogiDoko).

    [vimeo]http://vimeo.com/37535677[/vimeo]

    She even auditioned for some sort of theater group with Suuchan, reaching for her dreams since she was a little girl!
    [​IMG]

    With all of these talents you would expect her to look ugly as hale because God is only fair but...
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Heres to a new year of Ikuchan dragging all of the centers of 48! Dragged Maeda! Now drag Paruru! Drag Sayanee! Drag Milky! DRAG!

    Re: Ikuta Erika (Ikuchan)

    In response to "Nogizaka46 11-12-18" Ikuchan cooks horribly (Daily Motion vid)

    This was TOOO Funny! I am such a fan of [Half-Assed Subs] but now an Incredible fan of Ikuchan! She reminded me of Himeji from Anime "Baka no Test". I honestly thought a super cute girl cooking horribly was an exaggerated "gag" (trope?) in Anime- I had no idea such girls even existed. Dam...she was so adorable doing it I think I would've eaten 4 or 5 bites just to make her smile.

    ***Pardon Me - I'm new to Erika Ikuta but she reminds me of Acchan from the early days of AKBingo - am I the only one who thought this? Dam...I saw her Opera Intro vid & now this and I'm totally smitten. She's now the center of Nogizaka46 as far as I'm concerned. She's good enough for top 12 of AKB48.*** (WARNING!- I have not read this thread at all, I've become aware of this girl in the last 15 min and wanted share my excitement for her "In the moment"!- Please don't stone me!)

    You know within 5 minutes of meeting someone if you're going to really like them and dam Ikuchan makes a lovely impression.

    Ikuchan's episode on "Biblia Koshodou no Jiken Techou" can be watched here for the time being:
    http://channel.pandora.tv/channel/video ... d=47476825

    Edit: a Youtube version was founded! [party]
    [yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGA1DtvoxFM[/yt]

    Also something funny happened when I was watching it. :D
    Spoiler alert thou.
    At the tail end of the drama, it shows someone following Ayame, even up till she was walking up the stairs. During this time, someone beside me joked that "since Ikuchan is gonna be a bad guy, maybe she is the stalker & will kick Ayame down the stair & proclaim herself the protagonist lol." At the exact same time as the sentence was finished, the random dude kicked Ayame down the stairs! :XD:

    Not saying I enjoy watching Ayame getting kick down the stair, but its just such a coincident that its really really funny! :D

    I'm having a hard time deciding on Minami, Ikuchan, or Sayurin as my oshi. :lol:

    Was watching an episode and saw Ikuchan was referred to as "black." What does that mean for her? Is it like Yuki black?
    Saw in one doko episode she looked a bit pissed at times. Mainly during parts where they were forced to eat.
