Sayuri Date: A little bit of this and that...

 

 The end of 2025 is fast approaching for all of us, seeing as how I take the final day of a month off there's just two more days I'll be posting. Should have a terrific post to end off the year and I do try to make those posts super duper ones for a huge favorite of mine. For now I have zero for tomorrow but can usually whip something up though two posts would be perfect. For at the beginning of November predicted I would hit 420 posts for 2025 which equals out to 35 a month. That seems like a reasonable goal to hit for 2026 also but need some cooperation from my fave women! This makes it 417 posts, the one on the 30th will bring the total to 418 so the question is can I create two for tomorrow? Hmmmm, I'm not a betting man and can't give you advice on which way to go but in the end run is missing out by one post that big of a deal?

 PS: All posts here are superb but there's some I enjoy doing over others. Such as this kind of post which has a little bit of many things plus it's nice to do posts for a woman such as Sayuri who never does gravure photo shoots and wish there were more women such as her.

 

 Sayuri had seven posts from early August up until mid-November and under most circumstances would have made the top ten on the fave's list. But 80% of those posts were of things from September 2022 until November 2024 so really couldn't include her on this year's list. But for the most part am caught up with most of Sayuri's older activities and one reason I began to post about her as I expect her to have quite a few posts in the future. So that means I also expect Sayuri to make the yearly fave's list often and though I could be wrong don't think a voice actress has ever made the list! I like that genre of women more than most others but the problem is it's so hard for them to have posts on a consistent basis so no voice actress has ever hit six posts for a year to qualify. Well, in a way Sayuri did this year. In an oddity voice actresses are so busy voicing characters, singing theme songs, hosting radio shows, etc. that they don't have a lot of time for activities I can post about such as appearing in many magazines, having digital books, being at events and other things. But Sayuri seems to be a bit different as she does all of those things and I think she's so ultra kawaii so am really hoping she'll become a huge fave of mine rather quickly and in a way Sayuri's done that already.

 Sayuri is so-so popular with you readers so far, her seven posts to date have an average of 512 views per post. However all of those posts are somewhat recent so bet if I check those a year from now those posts will be up to 700 views a post. If you want to learn more about Sayuri check out those previous posts as there's a ton of bio info in them. December is the slowest month of the year for things such as magazine spreads, events and other activities, guess everyone needs a bit of a breather and even Sayuri was a bit quiet this month. First off are these recent photos from her IG page with the top being a pic from Sayuri's next mini album that will be coming out on March 25th, many in the middle are from an early December concert as her voice acting group Liella! was celebrating their fifth anniversary and Sayuri was one of the five original members.

 

 There was one new photo above for Christmas and have a few for prior years below, kind of surprised she didn't have many more.

 From September 2022 until December last year Sayuri had a monthly column for the Febri web magazine and wonder why that stopped? In the columns she often traveled to an eatery or tourist spot plus would discuss voice acting and other tidbits about show biz. There's so many terrific photos at their site, have some below and you'll be seeing many more in future posts.

 In 2023/24 Sayuri had eight digital books and have posted all of them, however there were none this year and once again will say Why? But on November 6th she did release her second regular photobook which is titled "Silhouette" and below are some outstanding pics from a fan meeting session on November 8th for the book. Sayuri traveled to Hong Kong and Macau for the photo shoots and should have a post for the book sometime next year. As a matter of fact the most popular post for 2025 was for a voice actress book.

 Will end off with this magazine spread which is an older one but is her top one ever! Sayuri was the cover girl for the September 2023 issue of Young Dragon Age, usually they have gravure models but glad they made an exception. This is one of the largest spreads I've ever seen and could almost be considered a mini digital book, that month Sayuri hit the age of 21 and of course she's now two years older. Above did say that Sayuri was a member of the voice acting troupe Liella! and I still need to do their first group post but there's been many for other members. After the huge mag spread is a video from an August 13th concert and these days the group is up to eleven members. But in those shows the original five members often do some of their earlier tunes and thanks to Sayuri I've been listening to them quite a bit the last few months. The video features the song "Starlight" and unlike the '46' groups or others such as AKB they do sing their songs live. My favorite member is Nagisa and there aren't many women in the world I like more than her! She's dressed in blue and it's been way too long since her last post.
