Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available. Hope you find something that interests you, don't hesitate to comment, arigato gozaimasu!

Kumi Sasaki: Her wondrous and peachy.... "Mekuru Hibi" photobook scans

 


 I don't do any kind of a 'State of the Union' address here but do blabber enough in too many posts. Saying that for this is ending up to being a decent month even though I was sick for a while and went five days without posting. Am working on a few more posts to have before the year ends and January will begin off with with what could be my top book for 2025! So while the amount of posts decreased once again think they'll stabilize for a while, averaged 35 posts a month for this year and to me that's a decent figure as I'm sure many of you readers have noticed how they're bigger and better than ever!

 Here's an under the radar favorite of mine and bet you didn't think she'd ever be mentioned here again! So many times I promised to do a solo post for Kumi and it never happened, I honestly can't say why that was but she may have had one for 'Uni's on Air' promo game pics. However she did set a record for no member of Hina, Keya or Nogi has had as many photos as Kumi had in group posts without having a regular solo post! Didn't count up the pictures but she has well over 500 of them in group posts and it wouldn't surprise me if the total is actually closer to a thousand! Sadly this could be the final time I discuss Kumi here and that's happened so often in the past with other J-Pop Idols, that's just the way of the J-Poppin' World....

 
 
 That above pic was an outtake from the book and was too terrific not to include.... how about that first photo of the post.... WOWOWOWOW!!!! If you've forgotten who Kumi is she's Hina's oldest ever member and will be hitting the age of thirty on January 22nd, that's also the date of two Nogi birthdays. Hina is only on their second captain, Kumi held that position until her April 6th graduation. It's kind of funny that Kumi had been their tallest member until the four third generation members joined, they're an okay bunch but I've never cared for 4G. The point being her height is 168.5 and the new captain Mikuni is Hina's tallest ever member as she's 170 cm, think a Nogi member beats her out by one cm. On to Kumi's first and last book, I always thought she had such a unique and classy look about her and did anyone else also think she looked so darn good? Kumi was a long time model for the Ray magazine and also used to appear at most of those large fashion shows. Some of the photo shoot took place in Tokyo but most of the outdoor scenes took place in Malaysia. At the event for the book Kumi said her dream was to travel to Holland so wonder why the book wasn't set there, she deserved to go there as she was with Hina for almost nine years. This book contains 126 pictures, not as many gravure ones as other Idol books but this gets a grade of an A++ from me. One other minor goal is to have Kumi's first ever regular post around her January 22nd birthday, can have her final Hina cards, any recent modeling or IG photos plus some photos from this book's event and whatever else I can think of.
