Sakura Miyawaki: 2015 magazine scan #5 and AKB/HKT48 cards
Had the above pic in her last post but it was so good thought it deserved an encore view in case you missed it. Don't know how many of you know who Kanna Hashimoto is, among other things she's a member of the Idol group Rev from DVL. Have heard it mentioned a few times about her which is that she's referred to as a 'once in a millennium idol' and other high praise like that. Granted she's got a bright future and actually Rev from DVL are an entertaining group but in my personal opinion don't think Kanna has anything on Sakura whose future may be even brighter.
I just think Sakura could be the next major Idol, she's already so popular and that popularity seems to be growing every day. In the last AKB elections she finished #7 in the voting and could see her rising another position or two next time around. Since so many Idols have left their group's the last few years.... Atsuko, Yuko, Mariko, Rena, etc. and a few from some H!P groups.... there hasn't been anyone to claim the crown for being the most popular Idol. Quite a few are immensely popular but seems groups these days are bigger than individuals.
Just my thoughts, when I read things about who the next major Idol could be and Sakura's name isn't on the list it makes me wonder why. Had a mag spread post two weeks ago so just one new one today, it is a slow day which is good because it gives me a chance to post many of her 2015 cards. This terrific spread is from the new issue of Young Champion which is #23.
Hope you like Sakura cards because there's a huge, huge amount of them today. Working backwards these are AKB theater cards for October, September and August.
AKB/HKT Net shop cards for September and August.
Last set of cards are more net shop ones from July and June.
