Suda Akari (Akarin) / 3rd Generation

I love Dasu. Unlike Yukirin, she seemed to be trying her best to promote SKE, not her self-interest. I hope she stays in the industry, as no one can copy her positive vibe. I also hope her graduation triggers Yukirin. I wish her best of luck!

TAKE YUKIRIN WITH YOU!

(The full video will be available from 8/19 as a paid download from Chunichi Shimbun.)

 

^The full video appears to be available for free (at least for now) although 'hidden' on Chunichi Shimbun's YT channel:

(I'll keep an eye on it in case it gets made private)

EDIT: It did get made private.

 

Dasu will be on the cover of the 'SKE48 ver.' of the October issue of BUBKA:

Amazon.jp, HMV.jp, and CDJapan have failed me with trying to get the Dasu cover. Any other alternatives out there?

 

My recommendation is to check CDJapan daily as they often have the alternative BUBKA cover editions available as 'proxy items' but they usually sell out quickly.

 

The last time I did proxy for a magazine from CDJ (incidentally, the last time Dasu had the alternate Bubka cover) it cost way more than I would have liked. I'll keep an eye out on the other retailers though.

 

Is BUBKA available digitally though?

 

Dasu's graduation song "Watashi no Arukikata".
The music video is really good, with her solo dance!
I love the scenes in the nature, she looks pretty.

Also, I wanted to post this video here.
Dasu cried a lot after recording the new single MV...
This is sad T_T

Also in that video, she says that her graduation day is pushed to november 1st (exactly 13 years after she passed the SKE48 audition)

The graduation ceremony will be held during 2 days:

• 10/25: Seifuku no me
• 11/01: SKE Festival

Trivia about Watashi Arukikata:
It was choregraphed by Akari herself and dancer / choregrapher Tsujimoto Tomohiko

It seems that she’s postponed graduation so she can have one last HS event with fans:

According to the article it’ll be an actual physical handshake event but anti-Covid measures will be taken such as fans having to wear vinyl gloves. However there’ll also be a ‘talk’ event without handshaking.
