^ I guess getting to meet them and talk to them is the good way to remember their names and faces, I know their personnalities. Because I know so little of the girls, Afilia always appeared somehow like "unreachable idols", a bit like old days idols who seemed like perfect girls you couldn't approach. But actually, due the Cafes thing and all, it might be rather easy to get to interact with them, right? You seem to have met them quite a number of time!
I really wonder how they choose which girl enters the group. I remember, I think it was about two years ago, I had some fun checking the profiles of girls who worked in the cafe but weren't part of the group, and some were terribly cute, and seemed popular according to their rating thingy. I couldn't help but wonder "why are you not in the group?!"...
When it comes down to learning the names and faces, and basic character properties, all members spam twitter, lineblog and cheerz, many have tiktok and Shimu has a youtube channel.
They also have a show that was supposed to air every wednessday on live.me but hasn't been airing for a month without explanation...
... and then, there's also the certain magical index of forbidden contents (linelive), where more content disappears than appears.
The Junjou members can often be found at the Restaurant shops.
They can be talked to there in a much less time-pressured atmosphere than at idol events.
A good half of the non-idol kouhai are idol ota, and even those who aren't can share "interesting" information about Junjou's members. They work together after all.
Quite oppositive, I'd consider Junjou a very easy to reach idol.
Ai Komachi (Naturalia) as well as Erabareshi and Bakusute Sotokanda Icchoume (both Akihabara Backstage Pass) share this attribute.
iQ and BSP groups' members are Idols, however Afilia's Kouhai aren't.
This means that Kouhai might simply not want to become members of Junjou or Hearts, even if they are fans thereof.
Another important thing to consider is that most of the cast have short term contracts only, and/or are working part time.
Yumichii is a hard core J=J fan.Lol, they are the total opposite of unreachable.. well as long as you visit Japan
Not only at the cafes, but at most of their live appearances they'll do handshakes and photos... They're pretty cool
Yeah, I never understood who gets chosen for each group (There's also Iketeru Hearts there as well which is their Kouhai group made also with girls who work at the cafes).
I think she wrote in some SNS that Kanazawa Tomoko was the most important person in her live.
She often goes to H!P Budokan concerts too.
