Yuka Kageyama: Her sophisticated "Shiranai Koto Darake" photobook scans

 


 The most scantly clad photos aren't always the best ones as I really like that second pic. Do have a personal rule where I wait at least three months before posting any photobooks from a '46' group member, often that wait turns into five or more months. Am one day early for that three month rule as this book was released on May 9th which was one day after Yuka's 22nd birthday. As all Hina fans know she did graduate from the group last month, her farewell concert was held on July 19th. It wasn't much of a concert as I think only six songs were performed but it still was an entertaining sendoff. Yuka is such a fanatic about puzzles, games, and quizzes so much of that farewell show was dedicated to doing those kinds of activities with her Hina mates and she is someone who would do something different like that. Was going to have a grad post for Yuka but besides that concert not much else had been going on but let ne continue to work on that and will have a regular post for her next month.



 The only reason it seems Yuka graduated is because she has some hearing issues which must have been a problem at concerts or when the group performed on TV shows. She didn't appear on their current single "Am I Ready" but did have a solo grad song. Yuka is just retiring from singing as she is one terrific variety show host and bet she'll be appearing on too many shows to count whether it's as a host or guest. Besides that next solo post will try to keep you updated with her activities in Hina group posts. This book was a decent seller as it's sold ~62,000 copies to date, photobooks these days rarely sell over 100,000 copies. Yuka traveled to Okinawa, Nagano and Tokyo for the photo shoots and I think this is one super duper book which has really grown on me the past few months. It's got a nice balance of regular and gravure photos, to me Yuka looks terrific in all of the pics! On to the book which all fans will enjoy and it has 119 pages, the next Hina book will be posted at the beginning of October.
