Mizuki Yamashita: Her highly awaited and ultra sweltering "Heroine" photobook scans

 


 Think it's a requirement that every Idol photobook have at least one picture of them brushing their teeth, to give off some 'innocent vibe'? Twice have mentioned about doing a post for the top pics of those with a toothbrush, know what my #1 photo would be and let me work on that. It's August 1st so there's only five months to go in the year. What I was wondering is if that's enough time for this post to be number one for the year as far as how many views it receives? It is possible as Mizuki is so immensely popular here and if anyone could have a post get over 3,500 views which would probably be the total needed it would be her! It does help that this is one fabulous book and it's nice timing as Mizuki turned 25 in age a week ago. She's been gone from Nogi for about three months, she did take a mini break but has returned and is in a new drama. Not much else has been going on with her but will do future posts for any mag spreads, plus any pics for modeling or attending events and whatever.



 Those above two were just promo pics and not in the photobook, they're so darn good included them. This is Mizuki's second book and was released on April 23rd, always wait three months before posting an Idol book so had waited an extra nine days. Mizuki's first book came out in January 2020 and that has been one of the most popular posts ever here. What a massive seller it was as sales were right around 200,000 copies sold! This second book has also has been very popular and while it may be the top selling book for 2024 sales will only be 125,000 or so copies sold. There's no good reason for that as Mizuki looks so terrific and guess it's just a case of books not selling nearly as well as they did prior to 2021 so perhaps 125-150,000 copies sold will be the new standard for massive sellers.

 What also didn't help is that it was a graduation book as she left Nogi 2 1/2 weeks later, grad books don't sell nearly as well. For the photo shoot Mizuki traveled to Hollywood and LA, you can see her on the Walk of Fame and she deserves a star for this photobook! She truly does as Mizuki looks so alluring in even her non-gravure pics, sure many others also remember how she looked at the age of seventeen and while an attractive teenager her looks these days are off the charts, some of these pics are truly sweltering. On to the photos and with those two outtake ones there's a total of 134, are there many like me who wish at least once there was a video of the photo shoot for a Nogi book? Bet many think that way too and why hasn't been any as a DVD of a photo shoot would be a massive seller.
