I hope you found this video interesting! It took over a month of work, so I'm very happy it's finally done 😅 The editing is a little weird in the sections covering the Aikatsu movie because copyright really didn't like Mizuki's monologues...

I always thought Mizuki was a popular character, but your video convinced me that she was more than just popular: she was genuinely a great character, if not, one of the best in Aikatsu! She stands out uniquely from other top idols across the franchise and I appreciate that! I'm glad you managed to finally finish the video, I enjoyed it! I hope you get some rest after the time you've taken with this one.

I totally agree, she has so much consistency that I didn't even notice until I started working on this!
@Puyyongie7 ай бұрын
I like how mizuki is some of the most realistic characters, being and idol is stressful and its no wonder she got burned out for keeping her title for years. Though she certainly one of the strongest idol throughout all Aikatsu season, being in the number one spot when shes already questioning her career and not being as active and yet she has made a strong foundation that it took Ichigo a while to take the spot away

Something I love about Mizuki is how her writing feels very aware of her age. It's a very easy mindset for a talented teenager to fall into. I relate to Mizuki a lot and have a deep respect for her work ethic. It inspired me to watch her growth. Mizuki's character feels like a cautionary tale that's written with a lot of care. I'm glad you covered her right after Ichigo since I can now see them as foils. I also have a lot of love for Risuko's vocal performance. Her mature tone and amazing breath control show a lot of technical skill.

Her story was really suprising to me, especially since the layers of her character came together so cleanly. It's really cool that her motivations make so much sense even though she's intentionally written to be mysterious.

You definitely brought to light some aspects of Mizuki's character that I hadn't noticed before. I've always been a very literal person, only able to read things at face value, not always what's underneath. Your analogy helped me truly realize why I am so in love with Mizuki's character. She seems so mysterious and professional to the public, but even she is struggling with her own emotions deep down. This analogy also helped me understand what makes great storytelling for the characters. You have to consider the perspectives of everyone, not just the main, in order to have all their combined interactions make sense as it leads on into the climax and the finale. Absolutely wonderful video. I love Mizuki more than ever. Thank you for all this insight.❤❤❤

I like Mizuki. I always thought of her as this anime's world version of Taylor Swift or something. When I first tried to get one of my friends into Aikatsu, I remember her saying that Mizuki seemed like a Mary Sue to her, but I pointed out some of Mizuki's flaws and development throughout the series. Anyway, great video. Glad to see someone doing a deep dive into this character. I hope you'll do one for Aoi and Yurika in the future.

Wow! This is such an in-depth dive into Mizuki's idol journey, and I’m absolutely loving it. I've always admired how Mizuki views Ichigo both as a rival and a companion, with whom she grows together. It's also fascinating how Mikuru seems destined to be her partner in a duo, allowing Mizuki to rely on and grow with her. However, I’m quite tired of hearing people dismiss Mizuki’s inner struggles as the top idol and the loneliness that comes with staying at the top. Some even criticize her decision to step away from the idol industry as "out of character," claiming she should always be portrayed as strong-minded, passionate, and perfect.😢 In my opinion, Mizuki’s inner struggles only add layers of complexity to her character, making her even more admirable. Your videos have reassured me of this perspective, and I’m so grateful that you take the time to uncover these nuances with your audience. I'm always binging on your content and will remain a loyal viewer! I truly enjoy your deep dives into the Aikatsu brand and its characters. Thanks again for the wonderful contents (sorry for the broken english ,as english is not my first language)😢

I needed somebody to look up to, to pull me up, but didn't have anybody in real life. So I reached out to Mizuki-sama, and your video truly truly helped me rediscover and love her once again. I truly feel so much happier watching your video about my top idol. Thank you so so much for taking the effort to make this video and put together soooo much footage from the show!

This whole video is amazing, and thanks to you i finally understand Mizuki's acts during the Tristar's audition and the short period with Ran in the group, i always rewacht that episodes and Mizuki's actitude towards Ran always concerns me. I always thought that she always had some issues with her idol career but you video makes me understand her better! Great Job. 1:26:53 It's the first time i see the full list actually, it really makes me sad that she in the past don't have the time to make this things that for ours are simple like "go to buy new courtains" or "go to the a sweet buffet", it makes me wonder how Mizuki's life could be if she decides to retired. I'm a Fan of Aikatsu since 2013 (When i was 12 years old) and is amazing how i still have this connection with the charaters and Mizuki is one of them.

Mizuki has a interesting lore behind her and I am wondering why did Aikatsu decide to change her brand from Love Queen to LoveMoon Rise Ik it's probably is like a new updated version of Love Queen but I feel like when I compare to the 2 brands felt like they try to be little less mature design for Mizuki when they released Love Moonrise like they kept it mature but not the same level as Love Queen or even Spicy Agaha(who in my opinion the most mature design/brand that Aikatsu released) I am not sure if the reason was it is a kids show the Aikatsu team think they want to tone that mature style a bit so they won't get parents complaining about how Mizuki's brand is too mature for young children to watch(I am not sure)
@idolkiwi2 ай бұрын
I noticed that too! I think the story reason was to show that Mizuki was entering a 'new era' but the clothes themselves are really toned down. Maybe it's because other brands were taking over her initial concept?

As always even for your KZbin channel one year anniversary. Of you being Aikatsu professional, super-great edit with your skill and you had a great job especially you make this video, Kiwi!! 😁 👍 🤗 💚 ✨ It's Mizuki Deep Dive time, because for how much i so interested with her. Back at that time i was with Ichigo as after 10 years spend with her then at that time after new year celebrate, i'm kinda think which other Aikatsu idol as someone i know were interested. But when i see the fans love that beautiful idol, turns out it was Mizuki Kanzaki (Mizuki~) that i interested. But folks even Kiwi guessed it, i already did watch Aikatsu Ichigo Gen since 2 years ago like 2022 in November 19 after my birthday to April 2023. The episode 16 to 17 (Both are my favorite Aikatsu episode i love), 27 (Which was like a Elimination match of idol to me) to 28, 49 to 50 and 99 (Mikuru pairs Mizuki as WM were like so lovely to me, and my favorite unit i love) to 100 of Aikatsu were like a Ichigo and Mizuki compete to compete idol each other. As i talk about episode 17 of Aikatsu a moment where Ichigo and Mizuki performs Signalize when i see Ichigo try to fall, i was thinking she try to fall while she being unconscious. But it was just before Ichigo could still handle the performs. After somewhat like special appeal and stuff then song with performs over, Ichigo try to pass out, but Mizuki helps her then rise a hands up together i was like "Ahh... 😄". And that is where i love Mizuki and Ichigo performs so much. Now on to the episode 75 of Aikatsu that I already see as we see her idol perfomance. Mizuki having that beautiful coords Mysterious Virgo, her so beautiful idol perfomance, her Constellation Fever Virgo which i love, and the way of her style is like can't get enough to see much while the song as well! It wasn't just audience's clap, but i was so joy happy after her performs. And that's where for myself where i love Mizuki's idol performance, the song of my favorite Aikatsu song of all time Precious, her Constellation Fever so much. Well, even after i did love my favorite of all time so much like Ichigo, in terms of my opinion of queen idol like Mizuki, her right idol training she technically a beautiful beautiful idol because of her beautiful skill alongwith Ichigo's cute skill. The thing i just want is having a beautiful night with Mizuki in a one moon for me with my Ichigo plushie and Mizuki sit together, and i also really want hugs Mizuki a warmly as Mizuki also hugs me too. 🌙 🤗 💜 ✨

I never liked Mizuki when she was a main character. It always bugged me how she never apologized for blindsiding Kaede and Yurika by leaving Tristar. Yeah, she said she "felt bad" later but thats no apology. Ichigo, he kohai who always view her in a great light was going towards this amazing step and wanted her there, and Mizuki was going to miss it on purpose. So when she was out of the picture in Akari gen (kinda) (also best gen for me) I didnt dislike her as much
