Ayano Sumida: Her third sweltering comeback post....

 


 It's no 'milestone' but the next post will be #9,000 and when I began this blog back in 2011 really had no plans for how long it would go on for nor was there a goal to hit a certain number of posts. The much more bigger milestone would be for #10,000 and at my current pace that would happen in February or March of 2027. At one time was doing 60-70 posts a month or about 650-750 for a year. But posts up until 2019 were much smaller than the ones done these days as I will average about 45 a month for this and hopefully 2026 so that's 540 posts a year. But the posts these days are much more massive than the ones done years ago so while the amount of posts for a year has decreased by 200 there's actually many more photos and news in those 540 posts than the 700 and hope that made sense....



 When I talk about the size of posts before 2020 an average one may have contained fifty photos plus a video and some news. The size of those posts certainly weren't tiny but these days seems like an average posts has eighty photos, very often there's more than a hundred pics! This post doesn't seem so large yet it just may approach a hundred and though I spout out those numbers rarely count how many pics are in a post. It may seem as though I post about a lot of gravure models but in all honesty think the total is rather low and bet much less than 1% of the models!!!! There's just a small fraction that have attracted my attention and have lucked out with most that I chose to post about. Such as Ayano and of course it's easy to see the features that are so magnetic about her.



 But she is more than just a dazzling woman as Ayano is extremely fun and intelligent woman plus has done much more than gravure modeling. She really didn't begin modeling until 2021 when she was 22 in age, in February she celebrated her 26th birthday, as before modeling she was in a lesser known J-Pop group called Wild Bunny. So in the title it says 'third comeback' post as she didn't have one from last August until this March, did two for Ayano last month. Plan on having her fourth comeback post in May and she was so busy for such a long stretch so it's understandable why she needed a break. If you're new to Ayano recommend checking out her older posts, those first two 'comeback posts' have only drawn a so-so amount of views but from 2022 until 2024 she was one of the most popular women here.



 First off are these recent photos from Ayano's IG page and while she never posts a lot of them to me they all get a grade of an A++++. I really like the way she looks dressed as a normal woman as sometimes gaping at gravure pics can get a bit tiresome. That top pic isn't new from her IG page but is the cover of Ayano's second regular photobook that came out on the day of her 26th birthday.









 In those first two 'comeback posts' had many cards from Ayano's second collection of them which were released last July 27th. These are becoming more common for gravure models and wish many more would start having these sets, below are also from that second collection which is quite large.















 Will have a pair of magazine spreads and don't want to make this post too large as I want to have another next month though two would be ideal. This first set is a newish one from the April 1st issue of SPA!, Ayano is the cover girl and that's an honor she doesn't have often enough.











 Wasn't going to do this but why not(?) and the other spread for today will be from the same magazine. This super duper set is from volume 17 of SPA Girl! which came out at the end of 2023, the magazine doesn't have too many digital books but Ayano has had one for them and to me it seems she appears in this mag more than anyone other.

















 That first comeback post featured a Brody digital book that came out in April 2024, also had a magazine spread that featured outtake pics. A part two of the book came out a month later or May 27, 2024 to be exact and will end off with that book which contains 43 pics. What I've been noticing is that there's been a shortage of videos for photo shoots the past six months and wonder why that is? Don't have any new ones for today's spreads or book so instead after the pics is one from 2022. It's from a Young Jump photo shoot and is Ayano's most popular video with.... 5.3 MILLION VIEWS!!!!
