Character evaluation
Led by AKB48, an unprecedented "business model" in the world, Qiu Yuankang is able to keep the "48 series" combination alive forever with endless new patterns, and at the same time, maintain the Japanese's unique prudence and control the balance of words. (Sohu Entertainment review)
Akira has a very high influence in Japan, has outstanding achievements in various fields, is the idol industry's character. Especially in creating beautiful girl combination and subverting the mode of entertainment circle, he is a master. This "fat old man" with countless identities is full of incredible emotions all over his body. Like AKB, Akira is a symbol of an era in Japan. (Sina entertainment review)
