The iDOLMASTER 04: Crawling In Her Skin

It is all too easy to dislike Chihaya - her clinical depression, mood swings and callous attitude makes you sort of wonder how she even passed the initial auditions in the first place. But more than that, her apparent insomnia and obsession with singing hints at an unstable mental state that is not only detrimental to herself but to those around her as well

At least Chihaya can sing, which is how I got to know discover her in the first place. When I first listened to Aoi Toori, little did I realise that person who could carry such an emotional song was being bogged down with just as much baggage. And then it hit me - after getting spoiled by my dear Setsuna, only did I understand why her character is as such. Chihaya is essentially a KEY heroine who somehow managed to sneak her way into the iDOLMASTER. Apparently she Show ▼
, so I assume if you do not go down her route she will die. More than ever before, I wish they actually went ahead with the omnibus format, so as to just see Producer-san save her. In retrospect I guess this the true appeal of our little ℯℳℴℯ-chan; While it seems like she's basking in self loathe, Chihaya is really just waiting for her White Knight to come rescue and sweep her off her feet. Damn, I think just fell a little in love.

Folks, it is no secret that I love sports. That is why it really hurts my feelings when nobody would take me seriously when I declared Ro-kyu-bu the spiritual successor to Slam Dunk. However, I will be the first to admit that its cutesy characters might give the impression that it is nothing of that sort...
Something about THE iDOLM@STER

Folks, you know me as many, many things, most of them unsavoury in nature, I would presume. However, what you probably did not know was that once upon a not-so-long time ago, I was a full-fledged wota. Well, you might be familiar with all-girl idol groups such as AKB48 or SNSD, but back when I still preferred 3D females over their two-dimensional counterparts, Morning Musume meant everything to me.
