Some people just don't get the point. We're totally fine with juniors looking up to Sakura, many of them love her so that's completely cool. The problem is:
1. No two idols under the same company have ever shared the exact same stage name.
2. She set her IG handle as "cherry_kura". "Cherry" was Sakura's nickname back when she did pro-wrestling drama, that was a long time ago so fine. But "Kura"? Both "Kura" and "Kkura" are Korean nicknames, nobody in Japan calls that. Even Sakura back then would say they should call her "Kkura" instead of "Kura", because many people confused the names although they sound the same and both mean LE SSERAFIM's Sakura. She just prefers "Kkura" with two K's. So has this new girl even debuted in Korea yet? Does she live there? If not, why on earth use her senior’s nickname for her IG, a name only her senior uses and specifically in Korea?
3. Her fans are straight-up using the nickname "SAKI". "SAKI" is heavily tied to Miyawaki Sakura at Coachella and the song 1800. There's even an upcoming song with the name "SAKI", so everyone should get that it's a super special name that's already a whole brand for another idol/group.
4. When you share both the stage name and the nicknames, what’s even left of her personal brand value?At HYBE, there were three male idols with the same name who had to change their stage names. In the past, plenty of fandoms had to change their names because they overlapped with another artist's. So why is it that when it comes to Miyawaki Sakura, someone else can just use everything like it's no big deal?
5. When you search or get content recommendations meant for Miyawaki Sakura fans, the other person's info pops up instead.
6. Then she goes on to say her hobby is knitting because of Sakura and she learned it from her grandma. BUT she literally admitted herself that she sucks at it and hasn't actually made anything yet. If that’s the case, is it even really her hobby? If knitting or crocheting is her hobby she loves enough to mention in the news out of all the things like singing or dancing, she should’ve at least accomplished by now.
7. Her PR articles constantly bring up LE SSERAFIM Sakura, saying she used Sakura's expressions and attitude to learn. This makes me seriously worried she’s just going to copy her own idol without bringing any unique identity of her own.
As a fan of Miyawaki Sakura, I'm honestly so worried and mad. So please don't say things like "Oh, there are tons of Sakuras in Japan" or "What's wrong with her looking up to her idol?". It’s the combination of everything above. There are way too many sketchy things going on and it directly hurts Miyawaki Sakura's brand value.
