Sheena Ringo gave a kind of metaphorical characterization of each Perfume member, comparing their personalities to sports and roles.
Sheena Ringo ...
acknowledges a~chan’s “clumsy/cute” image that others mentioned, but she corrects it by saying a~chan is actually very reliable and responsible. It’s like pointing out that her public persona of being scatterbrained hides her true strength. a~chan = dependable heart (hidden strength beneath clumsy charm)
associates Kashiyuka with endurance, teamwork, and persistence (hence baseball, which is long and strategic). She sees her as someone who faces challenges seriously, with support from family, and works hard until the job is finished. Kashiyuka = diligent worker (serious, cooperative, persevering)
characterizes Nocchi as cool, active, and socially adaptable. Basketball is fast, energetic, and stylish — a perfect fit for someone who can mingle smoothly and keep up with trendy or “masculine” topics. Nocchi = cool all-rounder (stylish, social, adaptable)
