I miss Idols like this. With pure originality despite the type, she fits the status of a cool-type idol but isn't defined by the overall concept of the whole 'cool-type who is cooler than you,' thing going on. Nowadays, cool types are either gothic or extremely cool; which would have been fine if they wielded it correctly. They are forced now, and I miss the way the franchise used to develop and create characters. I understand there is a new generation to look out to, with concept changes for the views to increase. That's just wanting to get to the mainstream, which isn't wrong, they are being correct by doing this so I can't complain but in my preference the older generations suited well.

Aoi was an uncontrollably amazing character who developed, loved, and supported other characters who needed it. She might have not entirely been what you might expect a cool-type idol to be, but on stage, she suited it very well. I'm happy I was able to experience it during while it lasted, and maybe, just maybe one day the franchise will head back to the beginning and revert the changes. (Not the series entirely, but the concepts).
