Growing a Mikan
I wouldn’t normally devote a whole post to a ‘making of’ video, but this one has so many great moments. It’s definitely my favorite ‘making of’ for quite some time, especially part 2. Here are some of my favorite moments:
Part 1:
0:15 Gaki-san petting Aika! Awww
1:05 Aika and Sayumi switch identities for a bit.
6:14 Reina’s “yaaay” shimmy
9:30 Aika’s squeaking when Ai-chan tickles her. AwwwwX2
Part 2:
0:34 JunJun while watching Sayumi pose for photos: “she’s cute… but I think JunJun is even cuter”
3:00 Eri vs rain. Eri 1, rain 0!
3:38 I don’t know what Sayu, Eri, and LinLin are doing, but it sure is funny
5:02 The camera is on the ground for some reason. <3 Aika
6:19 Group “otsukareina”
7:30 Aika (with JunJun/Ai) “We’re A team!” *risa shows up* Aika:”You’re C team!” *shoves her away*Also, the flirty way JunJun says “A-team” at the end
You may notice a lot of Aika moments. That is because of Aika’s recent exponential growth in adorableness and general idol prowess. I’m so proud of little Aika. Everyone was wondering what Tsunku saw in that girl one year ago when she was selected. Now we know.
