Oh my gosh, she's blossoming . Her being an idol with ***48 still hasn't fully hit me yet haha.New profile image - seashore Cuca
Cuca is her official nickname now
I just really hope she gets the recognition and support she deserves. She's such a hard working girl and to see her make it after falling down so many times is really amazing. Cuca and Kaga Kaede are good examples of where hard work and determination gets you.

I'm glad that they let her have Cuca as an official nickname. Because her YT channel was somewhat popular I think the company should use that as part of her image. I think she has a chance to become a fairly popular member.

^ well that depends on her theater performance skills and even heavier on her handshake skills. She sold 0 handshake rounds on AKB's 48th single which is weird because I thought she has many fans who want to see her.

I feel like we are slightly overestimating how popular she is. A lot of people were aware of her before the audition which gave her an advantage over the totally unknown girls but 1. A lot of those people don't follow akb48, so probably wouldn't be interested in attending a handshake event for her, even if they do like her.
2. She doesn't have the most... how do I say it? Instantly likable idol character. She's kind of got the personality of the aloof, serious, hard worker. I'm not sure that's what people are looking for in handshakes.
3. All of the STU members had tough time with handshakes, even the ones with established fanbases (Cuca, the showroomers, and the ASH girls). The only girls who sold out slots were Fu (because of fans of her sister wanting to support her), Honoka (completely new girl, know next to nothing about her except she's a good singer) and Azusa (another newbie) suggesting having an already established fanbase does not help you sell handshake tickets.

That video seems rather "cold" but maybe it's normal with these types of videos, I'm not familiar with them. Her English greeting at the end had a nice touch though.

Yeah, that's Cuca for you. She's a very serious girl.

Did I miss something or is there a special reason she streams a lot lately? Like even early in the mornings like many indie idols do. Is there some kind of event or is it purely to gain more fans?

The more you stream the higher visibility you get. And for a new girl in a new group there isn't a billion things to do, so streaming is a good option.

Off topic but I need to let some feelings out.
I love Cuca so much, I can't wait to see how she grows and evolves in STU48. With Saki Nakajima graduating I'm losing my favorite idol ever (and the first idol to hold that position) but knowing Cuca's got a great career ahead of her is making this year less sad for me and more hopeful. She's just the best, man.

Funny, you and I share a lot of idol favorites (Miki, Cuca, Sayubee, Sato Hikari, Takase, Ruru, Yumeno, Ayano). If Cuca wants a successful career, all she needs to do is break out of her shell and develop more personality. Which is why streaming constantly on SHOWROOM will help her appeal as an idol and give her more experience with interacting with fans. I'm hopeful for her future, even if she never makes it to Senbatsu.Off topic but I need to let some feelings out.

Yeah, I expect that's it. I find her awkwardness charming anyway so I mind it for the time being. She's a hard worker so I'm sure she'll improve soon enough (or find a way to make it into a selling point).
