She is getting so much older than when I first started following AKB that it's crazy. She is my SKE48 oshi and my number two in all of AKB48 (after Takamina). This girl confused me so much when I was getting into them right around the River era when they started seeing a boost in popularily. I didn't understand this strange, small girl who wasn't even apart of AKB and why she was in the videos. Her older looks and mature personality immediately caught my attention. She received quite a bit of backlash but for me, I could only see all the amazing traits she had. It took me awhile to fully love her, but when it happened it hit like a brick. She quickly jumped up in my rankings past everyone and grabbed my heart. I have watched her grow from a little kid to a very stunning young woman~ I have enjoyed watching her singing and dancing develop through the years as well~ Her hard work and her ambition has always amazed me and I am happy to watch her follow her dreams. She deserves everything because she has given it her all, truly. I admire and look up to her even though she is my junior. I'm curious to see what her place is in future AKB as one of the future centers.
