260201 SUNAZUKA AKIRA 砂塚あきら 1/7 BY ALTER
after a 3 month delay, an amiami package finally shows up at my door. this figure was actually my first ever pre-order that i haven't cancelled nor regretted. i ordered Sunazuka Akira Layered My Edgy ver. in hopes she would match with my other im@s figure, Miyamoto Frederica Fre de la Mode ver.. with the great quality ALTER usually delivers, ordering her was a no-brainer.

Sunazuka Akira is a seasoned idol-streamer from Niigata, Japan. she is quite stoic and independent. her favourite games are FPS and in turn is notably good at them. she finds it difficult to concentrate when an audience is present. her daily demeanour is aloof, though akiras perosnality comes alive on stage. this figure in particular is based off of an official illustration (see above)
all of the ALTER idolm@ster cinderella girls figures share a similar theme in their boxes.


the crunchy synths in I Hate Silence channel the 2000s energy of KPOP B!TCH. a youtube commenter claims the beat drop towards the end of the song reminds them of 100 gecs. i could care less about 100 gecs so i cant claim that's true. anyhow, the swag from the music video literally oozes out and over into your brain. though the production pre-chorus is a bit questionable, deeps vocals save the track from sounding like it's being deep fried.

SOLO is about deep's pioneering steps in her soloist career, working alone and without a label.

I work it out all by myself
No, I don't need nobody else
I'm in control, I cast the spell

this song exudes confidence in oneself, assurance, and cuntiness. that means independent of others judgement, knowing what you want and being your own fan, as there is nothing more valuable than self love and self confidence. on a technical level, SOLO takes late-2000s Britney and rolls with it, which works perfectly.
