Saori trivia: she lived in Belgium for 7 years! Both her catchphrase and her SSK poster for this year mention Belgian chocolate:


Text: "Saorin - smile as sweet as Belgian chocolate ❤ Please support me!"

She's also really lively on both SR and MCs, and I could listen to her talk about Belgium and her daily life for hours.

 

i might be wrong but i think she's the first "saori" in akb48, name is popular in japan eventho its quite old. i just find its amusing, dont mind me.

 

Saorin's currently my favourite among the D3. She's level-headed, solid performer and cute on top of that. Her SRs are interesting, too - she's able to keep the balance between talking and answering to comments, and her topics are varied and interesting.

During today's SR:

• she introduced the brand of tea she was having during the broadcast (she'd had a fever just recently, but luckily only the cough remained)
• she talked about how she'd had to remember a new position for a stage in a short time (I think it was just one day?) and caught a cold -> had a fever for a short time
• she revealed her interest in all things sparkling, be it accessories, make-up or other small items
• she reminisced about the wildlife & bicycle rentals in Belgium

There usually aren't that many commenters (yet) on her SRs, so the odds for getting one's comment read by Saorin are quite good.

Saorin's upcoming schedule:
Thursday 2018/10/18: "Shuugyouchuu" stage
Saturday 2018/10/20: "Shuugyouchuu" stage
Sunday 2018/10/21: "Shuugyouchuu" stage & HS event @ Makuhari Messe

 

She’s very cute~ small too Saorin seems interesting, ill definitely be watching her!

Saorin's streaming right now! She's a bit under a hay fever, but otherwise she's as lively as ever.

Edit: She started the karaoke corner! Labrador Retriever on now.

 

She announced her graduation. :'(

 

Saorin :'(

The date for her last activity hasn't been decided yet. She said that she began to think about her future after getting into university, and decided to challenge herself with new things.

 

always sad to see a kks go

KKS "Pajama Drive" stage on 2019/06/28 (Fri) will be Saorin's last appearance at the theater. She won't participate in the HS events in August, so probably she'll withdraw completely at the end of June.

 

Some good news, Saori has signed for the agency Cent Force. This is the same agency that Shibata Aya signed for, they mainly deal with tv presenters and newsreaders.
