Considering the Charm of Ikuno Miku
Recently, there’s been a lot of discussion surrounding Ikuno Miku from Nogizaka46, and it’s piqued
my interest. While she is known as a more calculative idol, various opinions circulate regarding how she is perceived by women.
The Presence of Female Fans
I enjoy idols myself, and when I attend live shows, I’m always excited to be near the front. However, I was surprised by the number of female fans sporting Ikuno-san’s towels at the concert venue. While there are certainly many male fans, it’s evident that female fans are also passionately supporting her. I believe her overwhelming cuteness evokes a sense of admiration among women as well.
The Appeal of Calculativeness
While calculative characters tend to attract male fans, in Ikuno-san’s case, her charm seems to draw in female fans as well. Her vibrant and cheerful persona as a weathercaster presents a different allure, setting her apart from typical idols. This makes me think that she is more than just a calculative idol; she is an artist with a broad range of appeal.
Feelings of Jealousy and Admiration
Nonetheless, being a “subject of jealousy” resonates on some level. Her beauty and popularity are enviable to many women, and this evokes a strange mix of emotions that make you want to cheer her on. I find myself captivated by her charm while simultaneously thinking, “I need to work harder too.”
Conclusion
It’s clear that Ikuno Miku is an appealing idol not just for male fans but for female fans as well. Her cuteness and calculativeness transcend the typical idol framework, stirring up various emotions. What do you think about Ikuno-san?
