Suzuki Airi thread - 4th album "28/29" [2024.03.20]

[AyuHikaru]

She was so popular when she was in H!P so it's possible.

I'd love to go to the thing, I love Airi so much.

Now that she's not an idol it's time for her to release a whole Suusan line. You know, as her side hustle.

I fully expect there to be some special guests (musical or otherwise) at her Budoukan show to help out. But 8000 seats? For a one-off, first live in Tokyo of an established veteran idol? This doesn't seem anywhere near impossible.

The general consensus nowadays is that if Up Up Girls can have a live at Budokan anyone can.

Many people who aren't mainly Airi fans, but also generally Cute fans will probably attend as well.
Airi is ridiculously popular though, not just among the typical wota but among a lot of younger girls as well.There will be a lot of people at that show and I don't think she will have any problems filling 10,000 seats.

This maybe means another H!P act will be in Budoukan the day before/after as well. Nice (8

Hey, if Buono! Airi fans can fill up Budokan, Solo Airi can fill up Budokan too.

Suzuki Airi announcing that she will begin her solo activities and her very important announcement as Boinsie said.

Can I just say that this is insane. Upfront must have so much faith in her. It’s amazing. I’m so happy for her. I hope her solo career becomes a huge success.

I think you guys are right. If you combine C-Ute and Buono fans she can definitely fill up the seats. Unlike Berryz, C-ute disbanded when they were still peaking. (Stagnating a bit but still peaking) There are a lot of potential fans that will support Airi.

I just ...we haven’t had a successful soloist in a long time. Not for upfront nor H!P. Not in like - the past decade... (even solo projects from OG have only had moderate success - Lovendor, PinkCres- whatever Sayu is doing) I am sure she is up for the challenge and she sure has the talent, but I am very curious at how much she will really sell as a solo artist. If she is even anywhere near the groups sales that would be an incredible feat.

I think Airi is there as well filming something. Any of you New Yorkers know which pizza restaurant she is in? More pics in her Instagram.

Looks like it's a place in Shibuya called Pizza Slice, which is meant to mimic a NY pizzaria.

Found by Google image searching "Slice of your life" (text from the wall in one of the pics on her IG), which it turns out is their motto.



I do think she's filmed something for DISTANCE there, though.

Full radio rip of Airi's song "DISTANCE".


I like this one a lot.

I am so ready for her album fkljsdjf

I hope this is the PV she has been shooting.
*Not confirmed, but she has been shooting and the set and stuff she has been posting pics from only seems like it would be a PV so I'm totally expecting it.
