Obviously, I'm not a big fan of any idol whose name isn't Airi Suzuki, but I really appreciate what Chisato is trying to do here. It's very down to earth, and who doesn't want to see how his or her idol's home looks like?
In other idol-related news, Reina Tanaka, Eri Kamei and Sayumi Michishige from Morning Musume have been receiving a lot of flak from South Korean and Chinese media after purportedly being racist on Reina's blog.
