Inoue Sayuri (Sayunyan) / 1st Gen

She is already establish herself as stage actress with tons of gigs. And these jobs will take alot of her time. Her schedule already packed. Reading, vocal training, practicing, and rehearshal for one and another stage or musical play.

Plus her knee is in bad condition.

 

When/Where did you hear about a bad knee?

Maybe Blog?
I wish I could read in Japanese so I could follow her blog entries...

 

It’s well known to Nogi fans that Inoue has issues with her knees. All the way back to 4th Bday Live you can see her wrap the knees. Also it can be seen in the BTS Video.

 

I still have not watched all their Lives yet...
Never heard of it. Did she ever talk about it like how she manages to still stay in shape?
Like stages and lives... that must be a lot of hard work!

Edit: What does BTS Video mean?

 

BTS = Behind The Scenes

On 4th Bday Live BTS you see her crawling or on a gurney to get around.

 

Try watching it. One of the best, shows you how hard these girls work and the pain they need to endure behind the scene.

Spoiler: Sayunyan

You can just feel the pain

Actually it's not just Sayu...

Spoiler: Other members

Spoiler: Kitano all wrapped up

Spoiler: Ikoma's left leg

That's Manatsu fixing her sock

Spoiler: Wakatsuki right knee support

I remember a worst picture of her legs wrapped like a mummy

Spoiler: Asuka limping?

Here Asuka is favoring her right leg

Spoiler: Nanamin's foot

There's also scene they carry her on a trolley backstage

 

Wakatsuki's injuries were serious enough that she missed a few concerts, if I recall.

Nanamin's is the worst. I can not watch 4th Bday Live and not see it as the tipping point in pushing her towards graduation especially with the scene they put her in the van to go to the hospital. Perhaps when she informed her parents about that hospital visit is when she get the note from them that made her decide on graduation. Also, they really downplay Nanamin on the 4th Bday BluRay almost as if she isn't there.

 

It really hurts to see this side of such lovely Idols but how could I turn a blind eye when they had to endure them!?...

PS: Now that you mention it... at some Concerts and songs I keep searching for Wakasama until it ends with no result...

 

Sadly it's all part of the job. It's not all smiles. They deliver the best performance they can. But backstage, lot of things we rarely see. In that BTS, both Maiyan and Manatsu got their head bumped.
Just yesterday there's a post about Kitano being injured after falling during Nagoya concert. Sucks, but incidents like this happen.

 

Noo not Kitano...
Just when she started to break out of her shell...
Rather I just read all her blogs regarding her hiatus some time ago.

Could you link me to where I could watch/download 4th Birthday BTS?
I checked all sources I know but everything is down...
I happen to find this but I can't download and watch it comfortably: https://www.bilibili.com/video/av30989820/

Any help would be appreciated.

 

Sayunyan appearance on theater "SLANG".

 

I try to find an image of the complete 5 photos set Inoue Sayuri "parisienne" made in Paris in 2014.

I only have one of them and I will go to tokyo next week. I hope to find the others but I don't want to make a mistake and buy the wrong photos.

Impossible to find it on internet

Maybe someone haves this and can put it on this forum

 

You might find my comment a bit sadistic but in a way, I'm glad I could see these sort of disturbing imagery you know. It validates my support for the girls, that we all have to break our back to make end's meet, that at least my penchant for the members is pure even though the idol industry itself is full of manipulation and fakeness. There are individuals who "get it easier" than other I believe, in our society in a broad sense and in the industry in particular. But the girls are, if anything, as much a victim as us.

Yeah, I know I'm that annoying guy who always get political lol couldn't help it

 

You mean this set?

 

Yes.

Thank you very much for your help

Sayu-Nyan is one of my favorite member

I hope I will find the 4 photos that i have not yet in Tokyo next week.

 

No problem. Have fun in Tokyo. You know where to look for idol stuff?

 

In Akihabara I know some shops (Trio, Liberty and Dela nan)
And Nakano broadway next to the Nakano station.

And maybe "sports card mint" in Shinjuku and Shibuya for the trading cards, I never went in those 2 shops.

I don't know some other shops, I only went once in Tokyo (last year)

 

In the early days, she reminds me a lot of Mayuyu. One of a kind beauties. So Anime-like, doll-like, CG-like.
