Since the first installment of our Instagram series,
a lot has changed in the world. Popular accounts
like those of Minami Takahashi (26.7k followers),
and Atsuko Maeda (216k followers) are still around
but have long been abandoned. The point of this
article is to introduce you to some lesser known
accounts which will keep you entertained with a
steady stream of content. Here are 10 idol/artist
Instagram accounts in no particular order that we
think do their best to keep you double tapping your
screens!
The account that most of you out there are already
following, Ai Shinozaki documents her journey as a
solo singer post-AeLL as she travels to New York to do
a surprise live in Times Square. Despite her long career
as a gravure idol, Ai doesn’t flood the feed with
swimsuit shots. Most of her posts are food related,
whether they are pictures of food, pictures of her with
food, or pictures declaring how hungry she is. That
voice of hers must require a lot of energy! Perhaps the
sexiest thing you will see on her feed aside from the
picture of her eating that bagel is the video of her eating
that shrimp?
In addition to an enviable collection of sneakers, caps,
and other streetwear, NMB48’s Shu Yabushita shows
off her love for older manga and rock legends as well.
While NMB48 seems to be one of the stronger groups
when it comes to Instagram usage, Shu differentiates
herself from the others by showing us what her latest
pickups were instead of every conceivable angle for
their “outfit of the day (#ootd).
PASSPO☆’s lead vocalist lives up to her reputation as a
member of the Hacchake-tai with regular pictures of her
post-live drinks and feasts. Since the new year, she’s
been posting updates every time she goes running,
showing her commitment to helping the group aiming
for higher goals as they move forward. Aside from that,
it’s business as usual: rock out, party, get put back
together with blood cleansing and chiropractics, repeat!
Miku Kobato goes above and beyond for her masters
and princesses with a steady flow of content varying
from live photos, personal videos, and even a few peeks
into her time away from the spotlight.
From the very beginning of her using Instagram,
Manatsu Hayashi has been doing her best to
communicate with fans overseas by posting in English
as much as possible, asking them to answer back to her
and even using widely known hashtags in her posts. Are
these the kind of super powers one gets after going
blonde? It’s unfortunate that many of the media
companies in Japan don’t seem to be as enthusiastic
about reaching to overseas audiences as Manatsu is.
POP’s “handsome member” Saki Kamiya takes full
advantage of her good looks by posting quite a few
pictures of herself in cosplay from Attack on Titan and
Osomatsu-san, just to name a few. There’s also the BiS
connection as she and some of the other members seem
to always be meeting up no matter how busy their
current projects may be.
There are definitely a lot of cute pictures on Siorin’s
(her nickname) account but, the real draw are her short
videos! Her anime-like voice and made up words will
have the minutes ticking by as they play over and over
again! For best results, follow her constant companion
Miyu Mochizuki too for more video footage! If you end
up following the whole group, that’s fine too! Ha〜wa!
Ano – Yurumerumo! @a_n_o2mass
As one of the most popular members of Yurumerumo!,
Ano is constantly the center of attention and her
Instagram backs it up handily! With a collection of
professional grade photos from performances and
fashion shoots mixed in with Ano’s own camerawork,
the minutes will turn into hours as you keep finding
new things to like. Ano might not be for everyone but,
those who love her are almost like disciples of a
religion.
As a member of one of the “strongest groups in Tokyo”,
Kanra is full of surprises. Whether she’s dancing with
her dog in the bathroom with retro TV effects, on a
stage, or with the others, any moment is open to being
documented and shared! Perhaps most impressive was
her burst of photos from Maid Day (May 10, can be
read as “mei-do” since “do” is Japanese for 10). Don’t
miss out when the next themed day comes along
because Kanra might surprise you!
Marino Saihara from Chubbiness doesn’t just cosplay
as characters from some of Japan’s most popular series
like Sailor Moon and Osomatsu-san, she goes all out
when it comes to showing her love for Marvel comics
as well with an amazing Squirrel Girl outfit! She even
does back and front handsprings! Don’t let your dreams
just be dreams!
