An Idol that Mina Admires

AYAKA KIKUCHI (AKB48)
This was difficult.  I admire idols that are successful after they leave an idol group, more than just appearing on variety TV as a personality.  Kago Ai felt suffocated as an idol, which I respect but the way she went about leaving wasn't very classy (plus she isn't an idol anymore).  If I knew Rinatin was happy working in AV she might be on my list, just because people don't respect those in that industry.  Goto Maki isn't an idol either.

Most idols that get fired because of scandal don't try to make a comeback in the same industry, a lot just disappear (one of C-ute's aces for example).  For Ayaka to be an upcoming ace within AKB48 (being one of the few Team B members included in PVs), to audition for the same group and then go through being a trainee is impressive.  She worked hard just to get back to Undergirls and to be added to a subgroup that she was meant to be a part in when she was fired.  She has worked hard and had to face haters because of her having a boyfriend (which I don't have anything against).  I hope to see her return to the paradise that is senbatsu.
