Not at all. They probably love having more fans of the same gender.

The other members were saying somewhere that Take-chan has a lot of wota who look like they’re physically fit.

The wonderful thing about her is how on first glimpse it might look like she has nothing feminine about her at all, and yet, deep down inside, she actually has the girliest, most maiden-like heart of them all.

Why, you ask? Because Take-chan is the sole male member of H!P.

Oden is a fool, but she’s not two-faced and she’s very caring. That’s why so many of the younger members look up to her.

47: 名無し募集中。。。 2015/12/26(土) 17:58:34.69 0.net

Her complexion is so white and she’s a little plump… she’s just so cute. I really like her.

It’s hard to picture a Japanese person who’d hate oden.

56: 名無し募集中。。。 2015/12/26(土) 18:16:32.36 0.net
The reason is because Take-chan has none of that womanly rottenness that some females out there have — which is something all women have to tolerate every single day.

She’s the kind of person you’d like to have as your little brother.
She’s the kind of person you’d like to have as your little sister.
She’s even the kind of person you’d like to have as your child.
In one sense, she’s the perfect idol.

I do admit that I like her refreshing personality.

She has a cute voice.
She’s round, and yet not fat.
She can sing and dance.
She has one of those cackling types of girly laughs.
She’s one of those talents you feel like you’ve seen before, but in reality she’s one of a kind.

Take’s one from 2014. It was at the end of the performance when it was just Take, Kana and Karin talking. Karin-chan thought Take was just so cute during her performance that she started crying. Take and Kana were obviously surprised.

Karin and Kananan were watching Take’s mini-live near the back of the venue and Kananan was caressing Karin’s head as she cried. My seat was in the back, too, so I could see those two.

Girls like Take-chan who are fit and have a manly personality and yet are girly deep down on the inside are the type who are really popular in girls’ schools, too. That says it all.

There’s one thing I know having seen Matsuura in her golden era: idols who aren’t well-loved by their own gender will never make it to the top.

When you look at things like Johnny’s and Disney, it’s actually the women who are more important to have as fans. You can’t be popular without them. Guys will always just find a younger, cuter girl to move on to.

Tsunku’s commentary:

2011/12/21
Of the new members, Takeuchi is the one who can really move her body, and she’s also a highly dependable singer. Sometimes it may seem like she’s moving a bit too much, but well, she’s still so young, so I suppose it’s alright.

2012/01/17
She has amazing physical abilities. Also, her short haircut really suits her. She’s quite the mood maker. She can be a bit reckless which makes me worried sometimes, but I’m very glad this girl is in the group.

2012/04/19
Takeuchi’s dancing is very defined and powerful. Sometimes it’s a bit too much, but that force is what makes S/mileage the group it is, so it’s all good!

2012/08/11
She’s always giving it her 100%, and that gives potential for S/mileage to keep going higher and higher. There’s also something so fun about her dancing, and her singing is powerful. I’m glad she made it into the group.

2012/09/21
Before I’d even noticed it, this girl has become a bit more adult-like. Her outward appearance is still very powerful, but I feel like she’s grown in other ways.

2012/11/05
She’s a hard worker who hates to lose. Taking it too far sometimes is this girl’s charm. However, she’s also started to look more mature.

2013/03/02
She’s always giving everything her 100% — sometimes to the point where it’s scary. But I think that Takeuchi being so overtly energetic is the reason why S/mileage will continue to go forward. Don’t care about what anyone else thinks and just keep giving it all you have, like you’ve done up until now! Give ’em hell! The short hair really suits her, too. It might be nice to see her playing with her hair color a little in the future.

2013/05/05
Takeuchi has become sexy. Her hairstyle and the way she handles herself is very boyish, but the funny thing is, the more and more she emphasizes that, the more her girliness becomes apparent. People who see her for the first time might think of her as just the short-haired boyish character of the group, but I’m convinced that the true fans know the parts of her personality she keeps hidden within herself!

2013/05/27
Takeuchi is so fun. She can sometimes say very surprising things which really makes the mood around her relaxed. She herself might think she’s now one of the more level-headed members, but in reality that just isn’t true, and that’s something that makes her so cute. That’s one of the great things about Takeuchi. I hope she never changes.

2013/11/26
Takeuchi keeps rushing forward like always, and yet, she’s now become womanly. Her hair may be short, but some of those fairytale-like qualities in her heart have become more apparent compared to before. She adds to the youthfulness of S/mileage.

2014/04/16
It took a bit of searching, but even when we finally decided on the outfits for “Mystery Night!”, I didn’t expect it to suit Takeuchi so well. Of all the members, she’s the one I was most surprised to see in that outfit — in a good way. She herself was surprised, too, but I don’t believe she disliked it at all. I think she really made the most of it. When one feels confident, it really shows in your singing and dancing, too. So after the recording of the song and beginning with around the time they were shooting the music video, you could start seeing quite a drastic change in her mental state!

2014/07/30
It’s scary how she herself doesn’t even realize how she’s becoming so womanly. That sexiness of hers has become even more pronounced. Usually when she’s talking or practicing at rehearsals and such, she’s just “Take-chan.” But when it’s actually showtime, her switch is turned on — unbeknownst even to her — and she just starts exuding those pheromones.

Compared to all those other boyish characters, she has that adorable voice of hers. Hearing that voice singing H!P’s cute songs gets me every single time. She has so much to love about her, I wouldn’t even know where to start if someone asked me to list them.

She’s boyish, yet her voice is so cute.
She’s a great singer, dancer, and she’s good-looking.
She has a great personality and is well-liked by other members.
Lately she’s even become sexy.
I simply can’t find anything to dislike about her.

Take’s big brother has such an adorable, pure little sister in Take-chan that I really feel he shouldn’t go out and bother marrying some woman just so that he never has to find out about the darkness that is inside most women out there.

I think Take herself misunderstands why so many women like her. “I guess it’s because I’m so boyish.” In truth, her female fans feel a maternal kind of love for her because they see her trying so hard to pretend to be boyish when really she’s not.

I’d think that rather than being in love with her in a romantic sense, most of her fans fall in the category of the older folk who see her as someone like a cute niece. (laughs)

I think this happened at S/mileage’s single release event in Nagoya. There were these two female wota talking. “My oshi now is Take. She’s just so cute! I want to have a little brother like her!” I was just thinking to myself, “girls, she’s not a guy.” (laughs)

Takeuchi Akari:
“I was really popular in 6th grade!
I was constantly getting confessed to by my

Thinking back on my elementary school days… yeah, I think you’re right.

Henkka: The first time I shook hands with Take-chan, I told her she was my favorite member of the group. You could see the disbelief in her eyes the moment I said that, and she vocally expressed her doubts. It felt like I could almost read her mind. “No way! I’m boyish! This bearded foreign guy is obviously just that — a guy! Why would a guy like someone like me!” But, see, as dedicated fans of Take-chan all know, the greatest thing about her is how she simply doesn’t recognize — or doesn’t want to recognize — the fair maiden inside her heart who captivates us. It’s exactly like everyone above said: Take-chan is the girliest person of the group, and she doesn’t even realize it herself.
