^ i stopped after Uchouten LOVE and i was honestly able to believe that was still current S/mileage (for only like 2 seconds before the truth sank back in ).

found this randomly..

just reminds me how much i love Eri.
it's nothing in particular she said, so i'm not gonna go into partial translations, but what strikes me most about this video is that it shows her how she is, and how her personality was never a "character" like some of the girls do (and of course, that it's with Tsunku).

also, with GakiKame..

this is why i always loved FIVE STARS GakiKame episodes.

she's engaging, charming, sweet, natural, animated and a little silly. i never understood why people would label her as boring.. i guess it must have been because during group interviews she wasn't one who would put herself out there. whenever she was called on/asked a question she did well, but she never would interject on an ongoing conversation like, say, Sayu or JunJun.

To be honest, I didn't like her because of her character. I don't like the "airhead" personality type of idol. Exactly the same reason why I'm not a fan of Masaki.

[Zunu]

I never really thought of Eri as an airhead. To me that would be more like Nono (during her morning musume days) and Kaorin to some extent, or AKB's Harunyan and Fresh Lemon, ex-AKB Ohe <3, actress Fukakyon, etc. I mean yes she is definitely mypace but nevertheless down-to-earth. I guess I would think of an airhead as dizzy and dumb. Eririn's got the dizzy part but not so much the dumb (at least not from idol standards).

[Starra]

Oh, yeah, I meant the "my pace" character. I wasn't really sure how to describe it. Whoops.

Also, to counter your point: Eri thought Australia was Brazil.

[Zunu]

Yeh but people have been ignorant about Oceania since time immemorial.

Spoiler: show

I wonder what Latitude or Longitude I've got to?' (Alice had no idea what Latitude was, or Longitude either, but thought they were nice grand words to say.)

Presently she began again. `I wonder if I shall fall right through the earth! How funny it'll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward! The Antipathies, I think--' (she was rather glad there was no one listening, this time, as it didn't sound at all the right word) `--but I shall have to ask them what the name of the country is, you know. Please, Ma'am, is this New Zealand or Australia?'

I know y'all are using it to describe Eri but I don't really understand. lol is that really a thing? Whats an example of something a "my pace" character does?

[Celedam]

I don't know if they're exactly the same, but "my pace" and "KY" (kuuki yomenai, lit. "can't read the atmosphere") seem to be used interchangeably, and they mean the person is unorthodox, unconventional, eccentric, wacky, strange, living in their own world, etc. It stands out in Japanese culture because Japanese culture is usually so formal and traditional.

[Noshie]

Thanks! Yeah. That definition makes more sense than what was translating in my head.

[wotakubrandon]

Aren't Haruna and Erina more "ky' though? Actually doesn't that fit all of 9/10th gen except for like Riho and Ayumi.
