I just remembered what I noticed long ago. AKB48 idols ocassionally "shake their heads from side to side" when they are performing on stage or when they are being interviewed. It's a gesture of cuteness, a charm point, like a girl being bashful, similar to how Kpop stars wink alot during performances. The problem of this is it's not view as "demureness" in other countries, but rather it's seen as insincerity, like I was saying something but don't really mean it. When they go abroad again or get invited in an online event, they should be notified to refrain from doing this "head shaking from side to side".
