Aqours: The extremely overly belated.... Shuka Saito post #4....
Seeing as how it's been 53 weeks since an Aqours post you could say this was belated. The nine person group is always so busy but that doesn't mean those activities translate over to posts. Would recommend checking out the older group posts but if you don't know the name of Aqours they're mainly a group of voice actresses who are most known for the 'Long Live Sunshine' anime series though have done so many others too. But they also are a J-Pop group and no one puts on a more entertaining show than they do. Have to confess I kind of forgot about them for a while and have done solo posts for two other members so let me see if I missed all that much from 2021. Sure I did and kind of hoping that's the case so there can be a group post coming up soon or at least one for a member.
Don't think 2021 was as busy of a year for group activities but it was a fairly good year for Shuka and there's a chance she may have another post next month. At a 151 cm she is a short woman, think the second shortest one I've posted about but her kawaiiness is so infectious. Shuka turned 25 last August and celebrated by releasing her first regular album, more on that coming up.
Mentioned that Aqours are a group mainly of voice actresses, they also do many solo roles and between the nine gals they've probably appeared in 2,000 animes!!!! Last February Shuka released her second single "Sekai no Hate" which did fairly well as it reached #8 on the charts, here's the video to the song: "Sekai no Hate" PV
Shuka had two mini albums but on August 18th which was two days after her 25th birthday her first full length album "Patchwork" was released, it reached #13 on the charts. Some pics from a MyNavi interview for the album followed by it's covers.
You'd think someone like Shuka would post so many Instagram pics but that's far from the case. These are from the last two months and at least the top pic rates an A++++.
Shuka has a mini tour coming up in April and also did a pair of concerts last August for the album, like I said she and Aqours put on such entertaining and energetic shows.
Been so long since her last post never had the chance to post this superb spread which is from the December 2020 issue of BLT Graph.
Another semi oldish mag spread that's from the March 2021 issue of Seiyuu Grand Prix which is a voice actress magazine.
"Barefoot" was the title of Shuka's first photobook that came out on August 16, 2018 which was her 22nd birthday. On February 14th photobook #2 will be coming out and am hoping for a few more mag spreads to promote it along with an event so we can have another post for her. These are some advance pics for the book and she hosted 'Showroom' on January 21st to promote it: Showroom video
Last up for Shuka is this new spread from Young Jump #8 which has outtake pics from the photobook, after the pics is a video of the photo shoot from her YT channel.
