Sayuri Date: Her soon to be universally acclaimed fourth intro post!!!!
While she'll never be a massive favorite of mine will admit Sayuri has really grown on me these past seven weeks. It's nice to have 'fresh blood' here on occasion though for the most part won't be introducing many more newbies. Can't say Sayuri was known here but had mentioned her in two posts for another Liella! member so of course you know she's a part of that group. Which is a voice actress troupe, she was one of their original five members when formed in early 2021 and there's now eleven members. Save for a few posts voice actresses aren't hugely popular yet those posts do draw a good amount of views, while not stars here none are unpopular either. Figured Sayuri's posts wouldn't be getting a massive amount of views and they haven't.... yet! For it does take a while for a newbie to become popular here, Sayuri's three previous posts have drawn about 1,200 views and that's a decent number so if you are becoming a fan she may have five more posts this year!
Those two pics above are from a March 2024 digital book which I'll have in a post very soon, will end off this post with another book. As many faithful readers have noticed September wasn't a good month as far as the quantity of posts go. October has started out well and my plan will be to make posts just a bit smaller in the hopes I can turn two posts into three. So for today have four sections, some new pics and some older but all are considered to be new for here. Bet there's over 85 photos you've never seen which is a lot but there's only four sections. I always thought someone else from Liella! was their most popular member but perhaps I was wrong as it could be Sayuri! She seems to have more digital books than the rest of the members combined and her second regular book is coming out in five weeks. So this and Sayuri's next few posts will be a mix of new pictures/news and also will keep playing catchup with her older activities or at least from the past three years. Not sure why but my favorite genre of women has become voice actresses and that began a while ago, they're not easy to do posts for but think Sayuri will be the biggest exception to the rule.
Just thought to myself no full time voice actress has made the yearly faves list with the major reason none has had six posts in a year. But Sayuri should have seven or perhaps even eight when the 'Nao Year' ends on November 30th so she just may be the first to make the esteemed list! Sayuri does seem like such a likable young woman who just turned 23 in age two days ago but has been in show biz for five years. Will begin off with some recent pics from her IG page, usually she posts many but not the past two weeks. The first four pics and the last two are new promo ones for Sayuri's second PB that will be coming out on November 6th, much more info in future posts. There's also five photos from September 30th when Sayuri celebrated her 23rd birthday, she had two parties that day with her fan club members so she is very popular and so aren't many other voice actresses.
It is so refreshing doing posts that don't feature gravure models or those kinds of photos, the post below this is also in that vein and while I enjoy these kind they're not nearly as popular with you viewers. Don't have a huge amount of cards but the first six pics below are some Liella! ones from 2023 for their fan club, after them are seven cards for Sayuri's 20th birthday which took place exactly three years ago.
It's hard not to be distracted by these photos while typing, Sayuri has one addictive smile and maybe with time she will become a massive fave as her close mate from Liella!Nagisa is. Will end off with a digital book but there was no accompanying magazine spread to promote it which does happen often. That's okay as there's a few other spreads of Sayuri's to post and the one for today is from the June 4, 2024 issue of Friday. Was going to have a different spread for Sayuri and would have been from the September 2024 edition of Young Dragon Age. But the huge spread consists of 35 pages so let me wait until I've run out of books before posting that as in a way it is a mini book.
On the the grand finale which is of a WPB digital book that was released on September 29, 2023 and was the day before birthday #21. Another Liella! book came out on the same day, it was for Ruri and Sayuri took the photos for that book, in turn she took the photos for this mini book which has 44 pics. There is a video after the pics from the photo shoot but there is a WARNING 👺.... Be prepared for an overdose of kawaiiness with the pairing of Sayuri and Ruri.... WOWOW!!!!
I really like Sayuri. Her voice is a standout in many Liella! songs.
