No you didn’t miss anything. I went back the whole Ch4 and several relevant characters’ events as soon as I caught it, but I found nothing about Akira or a certain third person revealing that name to Rika.
Considering the fact the same happened to Osako as well (she referred to him as Sensei in In Regard to Peony, but used the name Akira by the end of foursome, and no one batted an eye), I am guessing that his name has become a common but untold knowledge amongst the dive bar friend group off screen, presumably during his coma. Rika/Osako simply learned it from Imani/Wakana, as I can’t imagine the former two just knew it the whole time somehow or decided to do thorough searches on their own after he was bedridden.

Sakurazaka46 aren't contributing to any anime ost's, are they?. While listening to it i wouldn't be surprised if they do.
I'm not really versed in east asian music, like the x.pop things outside of ost's, like "Myth and Roid", " Yōko Kanno" etc.
Romcom's/Comedies often provide some nice to watch material.
I do like to watch Rom-,Comedies.
People like i, know and like "Bloody Roots!"

I'm leaning this way too, that they just naturally found out through talking with the rest of their group. That being said, people learning his real name has always been a bit of an important moment in their interactions with him, so this feels a bit cheap..
It's a shame he's no longer here nor on good terms with any of the community because it would be nice to know if it was a minor mistake or intended. That being said, it would require Sel to acknowledge the fact he can make mistakes and I feel like his head has gotten a bit too big for that with his discord of sycophants. Shame.

I would like to treat Sel with good faith here and try to strongman his position but no.I believe that Sel is just cocky and he has started to make mistakes(Take for example this or back in the dorm wars where Nodoka wanted to flex on Io using with the Ethanol question and plenty other ones that im too stupid to catch since i havent replayed the game yet).
In short i stand by my opinion that discord is a mistake and in this case Sels ego has grown a bit too much due to his discord members being worm-like bootlickers.

If true what a huge let down. When Akira and Wakana had dinner back in Ch3, I at the time thought it was a great opportunity for him to tell her and was really bummed it didn't happen. And now for it to just be causally known, lame. I bet Sel would say its obvious Wakana found it out during her research. I wonder why she still calls him Arakawa?
I totally missed it being mentioned after the foursome, and the first time I played 42.
Also, didn't the bar unlock after the foursome?

I had nothing against him doing the care packages, that said, DRM aside.
It was an ok decision to honor his patrons in a business way of thinking.
But him crawling on his knees and begging for moony, for the bonus anims, which are kinda bland, if not stock, feels like he tanked at the stock market or something worse and needs the money.

I enjoyed the care packages. My favorite parts were the love journal that we have waited I think over a year for a new part, and the character info sheets. + the beach Maya screen I still use as my main one. I like the outfits as well.
Yeah the new bonus aminations have really frustrated me since he hasn't delivered the two care packages he promised this year that I already paid for and he cut in story stuff for them. Bah, I need to let this go. Not ready to yet I guess.

Though, i took a look into them for the event commentaries.
And i gotta say, that his claim that they would not hold any story relevant info, that was not true.
Because they did, maybe not directly, but indirectly.
Left a "funny taste in my mouth"
Broken announcements aside.
Packages were not my thing to begin with.

I thought about pinning you because, ppgirls, Bingoogus , yeah
Really, only you can accurately answer that for yourself. As a guide though, are you the sort of person that would watch the special features on a DVD or Blu-Ray of a film or TV show? If you are then you may, (I emphasize may) find them worth it. If not then you are probably not missing anything.

I am glad I got them. I liked most of the extra stuff. I forgot about the commentaries, they were interesting.

As i implied, they do hold some story relevant info.
Not as in x is y or something, but by the commentaries, you are at least able to exclude some things.
Thats what i got from looking into about three of them.
They do hold something like a: from Uta: Into Sensei love tier list or something that people got wild about?
Besides, for others, did they have wizardry stuff in them?
All i remember is the fallout that led to Sel's excommunication here.

Don't bother installing them and risk dealing with the DRM, 95% of what little value they hold can be viewed out of the game by just exploring the unzipped folder/s.

I think Imani may have heard Niki use his name when they were first introduced or when she was getting her back blown out for 5 hours straight. As for Rika I have no clue how she knows Sensei's name. Rika wasn't around when Otoha blurted it out to Nodoka. So i guess this can be chalked up to be a continuity error.

Nah, he just got used to living on $10k a month income in 2020-2021, but unfortunately, that same $10k in 2024 buys a hell of a lot less of just about everything.

I agree. I don't mind this particular development that much but this surely is diluting the initial impact we had when the name was first revealed, but I guess that impact slowly died down anyway when he started dishing his name out.
And it feels even more sloppy when that Rika event starts with:
meanwhile some chaotic hot MILF also knows your name unannounced, just btw.
I bet Wakana always knows but I can't say for certain. But no matter when she knew, Wakana sticks to Arakawa possibly because of 1) work ethics, 2) no real reason to be on the first-name basis with him, and 3) the continuation of his initial "bad joke" of asking her to also call him Sensei back in Ch2. Besides, I think Wakana still referring to him as just Arakawa is...kinda cute in her own way.

On the wakana thing.Can it be that Wakan has done the mental gymnastics that Sekai called him Akira or anything connected with it so she calls him Arakawa to avoid accidentaly stepping on a mine? Shes smart enough to know and kind enough to do so imoI agree.
