Ayano Sumida: Yet another in the series of.... 𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒏'𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒈𝒐𝒕𝒕𝒆𝒏 𝒘𝒉𝒐 𝒔𝒉𝒆 𝒊𝒔 posts.... volume one....

 


 Have had quite a few posts this year with a similar title which is a very good thing as it means many women who had disappeared for a stretch are now returning. This is Ayano's first post since last July and up until then 2024 she had been having a busy year as there were four other posts. That July post was for a digital book so this is her first regular one since late May and wouldn't say she went into hibernation after that but did slow down with her activities. The title says this is volume one of her 'comeback' posts as I do have eight magazine spreads never posted here before and had been amassing them without realizing how many there were. That's because they didn't come out on a consistent basis and two are a bit older but know many fans here are smiling about this post. For Ayano has been very popular here since her first post that was done in September 2022, she's had four posts that have received more than 3,000 views and quite a few others have topped a thousand which are feats not many others here can brag about....



 Ayano's first regular photobook came out on February 25, 2023 which was one day before her 24th birthday. In a shocker to me last week her second book came out yet I haven't been noticing any recent mag spreads to promote the book but an event was held for it a few days ago. So that next post will have many pics from the event, some outtake pics from the book and hopefully there will be a few new mag spreads for it. February 26th was the exact date of this new book's release which was also the day of Ayano's 26th birthday, she really didn't do much gravure modeling until 2022 or when she was 23 in age so is a bit of a later comer as far as being a gravure model goes. With any luck there may be two more upcoming posts for her and though she wasn't too busy the second half of 2024 there were a few digital books that were released so those too you'll hopefully be seeing in the future.



 Ayano had been in an Idol group named Wild Bunny and I know very little about them, they disbanded four years ago and was the main reason for her gravure career beginning so late. First off for today are these recent IG pics and she doesn't post all that many of them, the top one is the cover of photobook #2 which is titled "Phantom Love".












 Those bottom two are from a January 30th event to promote her third gravure DVD. Ayano has two trading card sets and have been noticing how popular they are with fans of gravure models, the cards below are from her second set that came out last July 27th.















 Have eight magazine spreads that have never been posted here, will have four of them for today and only one is good sized. This first one is an older Ayano set that I had missed from the September 2023 edition of Dolce, every spread is terrific but why aren't they bigger?








 Up second is another missed spread that's from the April 2024 issue of Brody. Ayano does host her own radio show but hasn't done much else besides modeling the last 2 1/2 years though except for a slight slowdown the second half of 2024 not many models have appeared in as many magazines.







 The smallest of Ayano's spreads is this set from the June 11th issue of SPA!, she isn't the cover girl too often but will have one issue where she was in that next post.






 Last up for today is the largest of Ayano's spreads and is from a special Sabra edition. They used to put out a monthly issue but a few yeas back started to just release editions for each of the four seasons, this set came out last October for Autumn and they had some breathtaking videos often in their monthly issues too which I do miss. But there is one for this photo shoot which is after the pics though wish it was longer.
