Did anyone notice that after promoting Hinata Koizumi to Star, the top-level studio within the SOD group, SOD quietly suspended operations of its sub-brand Kimipore?
Those familiar with this studio won't be surprised. SOD is always adept at creating buzz and knows when to withdraw and cut losses. Suspending one sub-brand isn't a big deal; they can always create another one later. But I must admit I misjudged them, because I originally thought Kimipore could last longer. It turns out "Seishun Jidai" (Youthful Days) survived!
And they even have new faces!
That's Murata Azu, hailed as a "super rookie." Just by looking at the cover, you can tell she's a girl who loves baseball. From elementary school until now, she's swung a bat 3,000 times a day to practice her feel. You can probably tell I'm trying to get the wrong idea; actually, this newcomer is an athlete who loves baseball so much that she can't eat or sleep without it.
Because she loves baseball so much, it's normal for her to get aroused by anything resembling a bat. Clearly, "Seishun Jidai" (Youth Era) is taking a familiar athlete-themed approach, showcasing Azu Murata's youthful energy. Whether it's genuine or not doesn't matter; the important thing is to grab the audience's attention…

I don't think she has a chance to rise to the top-tier studio STAR as a long-term exclusive actress like Toda Makoto and Narimiya Rika (成宫莉香). However, looking at Murata Azu (村田亚津) in her school uniform and baseball uniform, and then at the scenes in the classroom and sports equipment room, this newcomer's screen debut really has the feel of the famous work "Bleeding Uniform," which really evokes my nostalgic feelings~
