Usa Hiiragi: Her overly tantalizing 'Young Champion' digital book though....

 

 .... very little else. However the book does contain 83 photos that are guaranteed to increase your cold water bill though it won't end up as high as mine! Wanted to have a simple post for today, though a lot of pics there aren't many sections so should be able to zip through this. With the main reason I need some time to work on a post and will finally be having Nagi Inoue's photobook this weekend! It's the top one of the year and perhaps of all time as that's how close to perfect it is! The book is very large, though editing and doing whatever to photos isn't too difficult it's time consuming because of the amount of pages so tomorrow want to finish up the work on the book. Also wanted to finish the next pair of recaps for "Dynaman" and sure few very could care less about that! I do though and so don't a few other Sentai fans, if you don't see a post tomorrow it's because I'm putting the final touches on those trio of posts and the photobook is one all Nogi fans will love to no end.... actually should say all males to no end and I still can't believe how dazzling the photos are!

 Also dazzling is Usa and I have to say she is one terrific looking woman! Which is one reason I began to post about her before she hit the age of 22 and glad I did, it would have been tough getting around not having pics of her as for a while there were so many posts for BababaBambi. Who I still like quite a bit and just had a post three days ago for another member, there will be one other member's post before the month ends. On May 27th Usa hit the age of 22 so she's no longer a minor here and I think she's the most popular member of the group here. So am a bit surprised the amount of views for Usa's first regular photobook haven't been much higher, did that post back in June. But maybe it's a post that has some staying power, think it's got 650 views to date but a year from now it may be over 2,000 and that happening is very common. Besides here Usa is also the most popular BababaBambi member in Japan and in another surprise the amount of magazines she appears in has dropped to almost zero! I don't have any new ones for today but she does have a mag spread coming out any day and do have some pics below from the photo shoot. BababaBambi has been around for over five years now, my fave member left a year ago and I was worried about them breaking up at the end of 2025. In some good news that won't be happening for a while as they have concerts all lined up into next year but they're not as busy as they once were, it's been well over a year since the five had a magazine spread together.

 Besides the book just have two other things, below are some pics from Usa's IG page. The bottom five are of the current BababaBambi lineup and four of the photos are from an August 11th show in Shibuya. The five sizzling pics above that are from a recent BLT Monster photo shoot and that's a special BLT edition that comes out sporadically. But how about the way Usa looks(?!), not many current J-Pop Idols can top her sultriness and the only one I can think of is from Morning Musume. Though popular it's not nearly at the level of gals from Nogi, Hina or Keya so you wonder what level of popularity would she be at if she was in one of those groups or perhaps AKB?

 There being no new mag spreads for today though as mentioned a new one will be coming out soon so will go back in time for what could be her top ever spread! Usa's only regular photobook to date was released on October 4, 2023 and this spread from the October 17th issue of Young Jump was promoting it, four of the pics are from the photo shoot. Not positive but think this is Usa's only time having a solo mag cover but as a group have had about four of them.

 On to the digital book which the Young Champion magazine released on May 1st. It has the title of "Koko Dake" and I'm often late posting digital books as I try to save many for rainy days but luckily there hasn't been as many the past few months. I can't understand why there's been such a decrease in Usa's books and mag spreads as she seems to have a large fan base, if she ever wanted to become a FT gravure model she'd be #1 with most fans for that group of woman which may include me! What there's also been a shortage of are Usa gravure videos but have one after the pics which I don't think has been posted before, it's from a February 2024 WPB magazine photo shoot.
