Saki Aibu: YS-Web volume 169 scans(a repost) and slightly more....

 


 Here's a massive old time favorite of mine who I hadn't thought about too often these last few years, if I recall correctly she was also a big favorite with viewers but sure these days it's not the same ones who visited here a decade ago. This post and the next few for her will be similar to killing two birds with one stone and that's a term I've never once used here. One of those reasons is that some older posts had pictures linked to the Photobucket site and you know after 2015 unless you paid them the pics became unviewable. So have been fixing up some of those posts but doing them all over from scratch for if they were just edited you would never now about that. And of course the other reason is because I've been trying to do posts for a bunch of my first wave of favorite actresses and Saki was definitely one of them, sure many remember her well. Bodacious is not a word that you think of when you view Saki's photos but who cares because I have always thought she looks like a few trillion yen!!!!



 Like so many of my fave oldish actresses Saki has cut back on her acting the older she's gotten and as is the case for most others it's because she got married which didn't happen until 2016 when she was 31 in age. And of course after that came some children, two to be exact and while Saki has done some acting over the last seven years not nearly as much as she once did and hasn't had any roles in 2024. Did read she has been residing in Singapore for the last year and will have more bio info in her next post which will also be a repost of one done a decade ago! Saki never had many lead roles but her parts were always quite large, I've seen her in at least ten dramas and all have been quite good though none could be considered must watches with perhaps "Miss Pilot" from 2013 being my top one.


 Next June Saki will be hitting the age of forty, almost every old time fave actress of mine is right around that age or older. The pictorial mentioned in the title isn't all that large so have two mini magazine spreads which will bring the total amount of pics to over fifty. Saki used to appear in many mags but seldom had many gravure photos which is a plus though she has done some swimsuit pics, this first set is from the December 10, 2008 issue of Weekly Shonen and at the time she was 23 in age.








 Up next is this set from WPB #34 from 2010 which came out in September, Saki also appears to be fluent in English as for almost a year back in 2013 she lived in San Francisco and Boston.








 On to the YS-Web pictorial and this was a popular series for a long time though they no longer exist. These days series like these are called Digital Books but that term wasn't used back in ancient times and this site was one of the first to have web books. This set was released in May 2008, a month before Saki hit the age of 23 and is on the smallish side as it just has 34 photos. There was a larger YS-Web pictorial that came out in late 2010, that set has eighty pics and will be in her next post. Saki's photos for today are rather conservative and there's nothing wrong with that as in a way they could be considered to be quite refreshing....
