Transcript of 10 idols instagram accounts to follow now

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!

Ai Shinozaki @shinopp._.ai

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?

Shu Yabushita – NMB48 @__yabushita_shu__

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).

Shiori Mori – PASSPO☆ @mori_shiori

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 Kobata – BAND-MAID @kobatomiku

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.

Manatsu Hayashi – Babyraids JAPAN

@baby_manatsu

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.

Saki Kamiya – POP @sakisaki_dayo

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.

Ringo Koisio – Bandjanaimon! @sioringogo

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.

Kanra – BELLRING Girls Heart @wanwan_engawa

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 – Chubbiness @chu_marino

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!
