Yuki Kashiwagi: A quartet of dazzling magazine spreads and slightly more....

 

 Even though I did take close to a five day break still figured September would have as many posts as usual. Doesn't appear that my prediction was an accurate one, guess these days an average for a month would be 37-40 posts. Am at 22 for this month or one a day so there doesn't seem as there's much of a chance of coming close to that average. But as I've said many times prior because posts are so much larger these days one post is the equivalent of two or sometimes three done a decade ago! Knowing there's no way I can post about as many women as I once did do try to make these posts semi-epics though today's was an impromptu one so it may not be as large as most others but will still have over sixty photos.

 Did take that way too long hiatus with doing posts for Yuki, have talked about it in those 'comeback' posts and not going to rehash myself today. So if you want to find out why I went 4 1/2 years without any posts for her check out the ones done since early July which have all the reasons plus a lot of info on current activities. This makes it eight posts for Yuki since that first week in July, her previous post for the "Experience" photobook has been very popular but the other six have only received a so-so amount of views. Wonder if many fans out there had forgotten about Yuki as she had really cut back on her activities since 2020 but that was the case for most Idols from 2020-22. Age could be a factor do as July 15th was the date for birthday #34 but I think Yuki really looks tremendous these days, so many women I currently do posts for are right around that age.

 Yuki has too many sweltering photos to count but close to being my number one from her is right above, was trying to think of something witty to say but am kind of speechless! A woman needs six posts to qualify for the yearly fave's list, she's made the cut three times from 2016-18. So while this is Yuki's eighth post of the year am only going to count four of them as far as being eligible as far as the list goes. Like today there's been quite a few older pics from prior years so hard to count something from 2021 for this year. So need two more posts by November 30th which should be easy enough to do and if that happens Yuki would be a shoo-in for the top ten as one of the best decisions I have made all year was to begin posting about her again. There's many others I would love to see also make a comeback here but that won't happen and in a way you could consider Yuki to be a very unique ex-Idol.

 Though a big post didn't work too hard on it, well that means not today but of course had to work on getting everything that makes up this post. Already had the magazine spreads, been trying to have many in these posts as none had been posted from early 2021 until this past July. Think I can do two more of these posts and actually perhaps even more, what I'm very curious about is whether Yuki will continue to do gravure modeling? She did have some new pics for a Young Jump photobook that came out early this year but no pics since then, when you think about it how many other J-Pop Idols have had as many gravure spreads as Yuki and if you ask me the answer would be NONE!!!! Plus almost all are sweltering to the Nth degree so sure there are many reading this who hope her modeling days aren't over. Let's get to some new pics and one thing she doesn't do well is upload new photos to her IG page, maybe they go to her fan club? Few of the pics below are new modeling pics for Winkuu who are a contact lens site, the bottom is from her latest YT video.

 On September 6th the Autumn 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show was held at the Saitama Super Arena. Yuki was there but not as a model but was one of the emcees. After the show she sat down with the MyNavi site for an interview and have the link to it, below are photos from the interview. Most interviews are only so-so at best but like the one in the post below this the interview was informative and also long at two pages: MyNavi interview

 One of my favorite current actresses is Haru though haven't seen her in many recent dramas but she is such a likable woman. She's about the same age as Yuki and if you know Haru don't the pair look like sisters?! I've always thought so though wouldn't call then twins, in a future post will have some comparison pics. Have another event here which took place on August 25 and was for a screening of the "Shuffle Friday" movie and she was a special guest. Know zero about the American film and don't want to know anything(!) but Yuki did look out of this world, of course there's much to be said about gravure photos but aren't ones such as these almost as sultry though in a different way?

 Now on to the quartet of magazine spreads, three will ones I had missed from the period of 2021-24 and have four more of them after today. This first one was posted before but bet it was way back in 2014 as this set is from the July 22, 2014 issue of Young Champion. French Kiss was an offshoot group of three AKB members, there were a lot of these side groups but this was the most popular and the one that lasted the longest, they also had a one shot mini reunion show in March 2024. Of course Yuki was one of the trio, Asuka is the oldest as two weeks ago she hit the age of 36. But who I really adored was Aki and did I have a mega crush on her a decade ago! In ten days she'll be celebrating her 34th birthday and is semi-retired, how I miss a few women such as her who I did posts for in the first five years of this blog and it's hard to recall those days.....

 First up for the three solo Yuki spreads is this set from the November 12, 2022 issue of Flash. One thing I've noticed is that her spreads are nearly as large as most other Idols and wonder why, sure they take just as many pics at Yuki's photo shoots as other models.

 Second solo spread is another from Flash and their September 20, 2022 edition so think the above was a continuation of this spread. Yuki was the cover girl and an interesting project would be of counting how many times she's been the cover girl from 2009 until now.... a hundred?

 Last up for this post is this spread from the February 7, 2022 issue of WPB. It's the largest of today's spreads and that fourth pic to me is too amazing to describe! While Yuki doesn't do a good job at uploading photos to her IG page she does keep her YT Vlog updated. After the pics is her newest one and is of her recent trip to Korea, Yuki went there to visit a contact lens factory!
