My Take
Ikuta joined Morning Musume in 2011 with its ninth generation and stayed more than a decade, which in a group built on constant turnover is close to a geological timescale. She was made a sub-leader in 2014, and after that the job kept changing underneath her: the newcomer became the veteran, then the person newer members studied to learn how the whole thing worked. I find that far more interesting than any debut story. Idol careers get discussed in terms of arrival, the audition and the announcement and the first single, but the harder question is what you do in year eight, when the novelty is gone and you are expected to hold the room together. She came out of Fukuoka, graduated from the group, and now works as an actress and television personality. It is that long middle stretch I would want to hear her talk about.
