Tsubaki Factory’s Nishimura Itsuki Sparks Buzz by Instantly Answering ‘Who Cares’ to Fan Question

Written by

in

Tsubaki Factory idol Nishimura Itsuki became a hot topic on the thread after instantly answering the question “What zodiac sign would you like to be?” with “Actually I’m a Scorpio” and then “Who cares.” Her deadpan dismissal of a question from a fan of the Saint Seiya generation went over well, and “who cares” ended up being used like a catchphrase for the rest of the thread.

Thread participants found her cold response amusing, while some also compared it to how other group members typically handle similar questions.

・Fan Mail Q&A Corner
① Is there a zodiac sign you'd like to be? I admired Sagittarius after seeing a hero based on the zodiac signs.
Tanimoto: Actually, I'm a Scorpio

There's no need to seriously answer some nonsensical question like "which zodiac sign do you admire?" from an old geezer stuck in the Saint Seiya generation
10Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 20:55:44.45
Wait, Saint Seiya was based on the zodiac signs?
Had no idea, thanks Itsuki

>>10 Cancer and Pisces were the unpopular ones.
Taurus wasn't popular either, but it was still better off
11Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 20:55:52.91
That "who cares" bit was guaranteed to get a laugh
She's got a great character
13Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 20:56:37.57
Saint Seiya is less about the zodiac and more based on Greek mythology
14Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 20:57:07.66
King's right on this one
It's just way too trivial to care about
15Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 20:57:22.81
Old guy: "Because of Saint Seiya, man! Cancer got bullied, man!"
Itsuking: "Who cares"
17Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 20:58:05.00
Impressive they could even come up with such a pointless question lol
18Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 20:59:03.67
This could turn into a whole tournament of pointless questions at this rate
19Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:00:30.22
I want a whole Q&A segment where Nishimura Itsuki answers everything with "who cares"
20Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:00:30.90
Seriously, what's the point of asking about something you can't change at this point anyway
21Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:01:05.53
Fan: "What color medal would you like?"
Nishimura: "Bronze [dou] would do" (a pun — "dou" echoes her catchphrase "dou demo ii," meaning "who cares")
23Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:02:40.40
I've never seen anyone in real life who actually cares about zodiac signs
Meaning she saw right through it as a question nobody's genuinely interested in
24Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:03:31.13
From her senpai's point of view, she's probably unbearably cute
29Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:15:15.73
Is King not really the girly type?
30Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:15:36.37
Even the Morning Musume girls get some wild ones thrown at them, so answering seriously just kills the fun
The day someone answered "favorite shape of the moon" with zero pushback, I thought I'd been transported to another dimension
31Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:17:01.01
"What zodiac sign would I want to be? Hmm, I dunno…" — instead of that,
Who cares lol
Gives me chills lol
33Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:17:52.58
King: "Zodiac sign…? How dull… who cares…"
34Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:18:44.01
Feels like she'd call Tsubaki Factory's own activities "who cares" too lol
If she only got chatty when the topic was "Byo" (a nickname; referent unclear), I might actually fall for her
37Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:23:40.66
Bring this to her birthday event — a segment where she instantly fires off answers to 100 fan questions in a row
39Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:26:02.93
"Who cares" is probably the best possible answer to the zodiac question, even for an idol
40Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:26:40.57
Normal people genuinely
couldn't care less about any zodiac sign except their own lol
43Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:29:07.59
King seems like she wouldn't care about MBTI either
44Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:29:46.90
Aside from the zodiac one, these are questions she should really answer properly
Is she just not motivated, or not cut out for this?
45Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:30:58.49
There's always some stock answer ready for these things,
and "either way's fine" on the guys-with-beards question is, in a way, the ideal answer
46Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:31:12.38
>>1
So Nishimura's just cold across the board, huh
Is that specifically an act for Tsubaki (Factory)?
47Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:31:22.73
Since "who cares" about the zodiac got a laugh, she started deliberately going back to "who cares" after that too
Sharp kid, that one
106Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 01:28:49.74
>>47
She'd be ready to go on Young Town — or variety shows in general — right out of the gate
62Anonymous2026/08/21(金) 21:57:41.45


101Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 00:01:33.11
She probably really hates whichever show writer keeps picking such boring fan mail to read out
108Anonymous2026/08/22(土) 01:33:31.70
>>101
That psychology-quiz guy's questions are seriously boring
And yet he calls his own and other people's mail "trash" — unforgivable
