NMB48's aspiring comedienne Akari Ishizuka kicked off a series of Dragon Quest 2 Let's Play videos recently. And with over 9,500 subscribers in a relatively short amount of time, it seems her fans are enjoying following her on her journey. Now, twelve videos in, she's adding another series: a playthrough of Super Mario Odyssey.









The new game has been making its way across popular YouTube channels frantically in the last couple of days, so it's hardly surprising that Ishizuka would join in. As ever -- and as expected -- she's vocally and enthusiastically into the gameplay. And given the thumbnail has "Part 1" on it, it looks like she'll be returning to this game more and more in future.

Her Dragon Quest 2 videos regularly amass anywhere from 13,000-17,000 views, and her first Super Mario Odyssey video is nearly to 8,000 in less than half a day.
