Aika Kobayashi: Her spellbinding second photobook "Hikari" scans....

 


 Was going to wait another week before doing this post but the book was all set to go and I do need some extra time to write up two drama recaps. So am writing this up yesterday and will spend today doing more posts besides those recaps so this will be the only one for August 29th. Aika's first solo post was done about three weeks ago though she had been mentioned a few times in Aqours group posts, they're a very popular nine women voice acting group. And how I like the women that are in that profession, the posts have been much steadier for them the past few months and it should be continuing on for a while. What I'm doing for now are mainly posts for photobooks, then will have some regular kinds of posts for gals such as Aika and hopefully a few group ones for Aqours and also Liella. I thought Aika's first book was superb but this one is so much better and took my time editing, renaming, etc. the photos as I was noticing how attractive Aika is and you'll agree if you look closely at the pics. That first book had zero gravure pics but this one has a few though nothing too revealing but it's a book I'll still give a grade of A++++ to!

 In that first post did mention how I post about two with the last name of Kobayashi, it had only been one before Aika's first post. Of course the other one is Yui 😍 who is in a tight battle to be my number one woman of all time! She had an event yesterday for her debut album and am trying to begin off September with a post for her. The oddity I mentioned was that both also share something else besides their last name and it's their birthday!!!! What were the odds that both Kobayashis I post about share the same October 23rd birthday, bet they were very slim! Aika is the older as this year she will be hitting the age of 32 while Yui will be celebrating birthday #26. Hmmmm, perhaps if one or both are reading this they could hold a joint party and if so hope they don't forget who discovered that odd similarity!



 So many voice actresses that I do posts for are on the short side, can't say Aika is tall but at 157 cm her height is more than most members of Aqours. "Hikari" is the title of Aika's second photobook which was released on April 18, 2022 and at the time she was 29 in age. It's her last book to date and wonder why as I truly think she looks beyond adorable in this book plus slightly seductive. Aika is from the prefecture of Kanagawa, it's major city is Yokohama. For the book's photo shoot she traveled to nearby Tokyo and Chiba along with Yamagata where the pics of her frolicking in the snow were taken. About halfway down you will notice that Aika had her hair cut at a hot springs, you'll see the difference if you view all of the photos. Not much more to add in, this book contains 101 pics and if you're an Aqours fan then August has been your top month of 2025 as there's been six posts for members and will try to have that total also for September!
