Oshi no Ko

Funny you'd post this, because I was about to post how I actually can see Arima becoming the killer's target now. An uprising, ultra-cute idol-actress without any romantic preoccupiances. Arima is basically the next Ai-chan, aka the "real father"'s favorite treat.

The only threat for Akane would be if she gets to close to the sun and the killer notices her info-digging..

There are a thousand such girls in Japan. Arima is just one of them. She's blissfully ignorant of everything. Akane knows/suspects more than Aqua has guessed, plus Akane can even summon the star eyes. The killer no doubt has some preference with his targets, but he's not above killing "random" people if it suits his needs. I don't believe Arima what he's looking for. Maybe it's cruel to say it, but Arima is a washed out face in the entertainment industry. Ai was a phenomenon that rose from nothingness straight into stardom. Akane is a hard worker type, so it's possible that's not what the killer is looking for, either. Who knows. But she's in much bigger danger simply due to seeing too much, even if she wasn't the killer's type.

Arima is the lead-singer of the new B Komachi, the group that Ai-chan lead in the past.

Isn't that a negative thing? If you are a fan of a disbanded band, it's next to meaningless to have new people establish a new band carrying the same name. Sometimes just the lead singer changing makes you feel like it's not worth it anymore. It seems to me for the killer who arranged Ai's death, the original B Komachi's star's, it would be utterly pointless to do the same for a second time with a mere copy group. But of course I can't really understand the thoughts of a serial killer. Although the author of this series might not either.

Probably something like "I already closed the book on B Komachi. How dare someone else think they can just write a new chapter."

He knows it's his own daughter writing the new chapter, though. He might find it too morbidly funny to want to do anything about it, after having destroyed the original B Komachi himself. Seeing how Aqua and Ruby are still alive, it's possible the killer doesn't want them dead anymore.
