It's still pretty surface-level, don't you think?
Like, as an idol, she's "supposed" to be an interesting person and entertainer. It's not like she's fucking guys behind fans' backs or something, she's just being more involved with the person that she projects to the public.

Her first dream before being in AKB was to be a singer, and wouldn't you rather the singer of your favorite pop act be
an enigmatic Shiina Ringo type character instead of an orthodox idol with nothing really to say?

idk, I just always liked how Naachan has this cool but open nature to her. I got into Japanese stuff by the uber-serious visual kei bands of the 90's so I kind of like the cool lead singer vibe she has. If anything, she's going back to the image she had as a kenkyuusei, but as a grown woman instead of a precocious teen.
