Yukarin to release photo album
According to 声優ニュース.com, Tamura Yukari had annouced on her radio show that she will be releasing a photo album titled “Sorairo” on October 10th. Considering that Yukarin is one of the top idol seiyuu, which means being a big sales drivers for seiyuu magazines, especially hm3 which is famous for its gorgous seiyuu photo shots, it’s kind of surprising that it took them that long to come up with a photo album dedicated solely to Yukarin, as many other popular idol seiyuu such as Nana-chan, Hocchan, Enomoto Atsuko had released their photo albums already. What would be interesting though is the direction of the photo album. Yukarin’s trademark dress code - sweet lolita - is quite popular amongst the female otakus, and certainly a lot of Yukarin’s female fans does taken a similiar liking in their fashion choice. If they want to broaden the appeal of the photo album outside of the male fanbase, having a bit of a fashion angle to the photo album would certainly be a very big draw in my opinion.
No pre-orders are up yet at the usual outlets, but be sure to keep a look out for it all you Yukarin fans.
