Yuki Yoda: Who better to begin a month off with?!?!?!?!

 


 I know she has many other photos that are more revealing and steamier but that top photo of Yuki has been my favorite of hers for about four years, hard to explain why but then again when you gape at it perhaps no explanation is needed! The year began off with a post for such a fabulous photobook, my second fave book of 2025 but there's been no books since. However I do have seven photobooks coming up from five women, a pair have alternate versions of their regular books. As many know I have that rule about waiting at least three months before posting regular photobooks, all were released between November 10th and January 7th. So the first book will be posted on March 1st, then every other week will have another tremendous book and that will go on until the mid-May.



 Of course all Nogi fans know that Yuki has three sizzling books, will end off the post with links to two of them. But in a way I kind of prefer the way Yuki looks in the first picture of the post and the one right above but in all honesty every photo of her is a winner! Had gone about two years without a Yuki post and described why in her five 2025 posts, am glad the posts started back up for her. But this is her first since July and some of that is my fault, I try to keep track of many women so at times it's easy to overlook a few and that's what happened with Yuki. However she wasn't overly busy the last few months of 2025 but could have had a post for her. Now that she's back in my mind won't forget about Yuki and just hope she'll be busy enough for a post every month or two, think she will.



 We may never see photos like the above ones again from Yuki but she had plenty of sweltering pics in her three books, how we would love to see her begin a successful gravure model career like two other Nogi graduates have! Yuki has been doing plenty of regular modeling but rarely appears in magazines, he acting career is going well too and when she left Nogi you knew Yuki would be one of their more successful graduates. In three months she'll celebrating birthday #26 and of course that's not old but it didn't seem long ago when I did a post for her 20th birthday! Yuki has been one of the most popular women I've done posts for over the last six years, if you are a fan then this could be one of your top posts for 2026! Have close to seventy new photos for today plus a few oldies so the total should be about a hundred pics, at one time that was a rarity but it's become the norm this past year.



 Let's get to the many new pics and first off is this batch from Yuki's IG page, she doesn't post as many as she did while with Nogi. "Reboot" is the current drama Yuki is in, it has many big names so she doesn't have the lead female role but the woman in pic #1 does and you better know her for she's who the blog is named after!!!! The second pic features some gals all '46' fans should know and the bottom pic is from a Yanase site feature, many more pics and such in her next post from that site.















 Yuki is a model for two, possibly three sites/magazines so those terrific photos help fill a post out. Below are some new pics from the Bis site, all came out in January and how about her partner in that first pic?! She's overdue for a post, sadly Hina had a graduation a few days ago for a massive fave of mine and think Miku's departure will be coming soon....












 Yuki has had the lead role in the three "Ryosangata Riko" dramas, they aired from 2022-24. I viewed and recapped the first season which I really enjoyed, have the other two seasons but have only skimmed through them. But vow to watch them this year and my list of dramas to watch has become too massive which has become a problem....




 That bottom pic was from Nogi's "Zambi" drama and that was a superb show which I do recommend. Added in that screenshot for what ever happened to Miona, that's her saying that line and don't we all agree?! It's been almost five years since Miona left Nogi and what a disappointing solo career she's had, how I'd love to do a slew of posts for her but even one has become impossible. February 23rd will mark the first anniversary of Yuki's graduation from Nogi, her farewell concerts took place in her hometown of Fukuoka. Three months later these graduation cards were released and you don't see these often from Nogi, all are brand new for here and there's also grad cards featuring other members.















 It's almost Valentine's Day and how about some yummy Yuki cards for the semi-holiday?! I'd love to have her bake some sweets for me and who cares if she burnt everything(!), seeing as how I went so long without any Yuki posts almost all had never been posted before.


















 One big reason I tend to forget about some women is when they go very long without appearing in magazines or have any. sort of books. That was the case for Yuki to an extent but did vow I won't forget her again and she does have a new spread that made me remember her. This new set is from the January 29th issue of Weekly Shonen, Yuki's last spread in July also featured her as the cover girl.












 Let's go back exactly a year for this other spread which had been posted before but sure most have forgotten about. Yuki is usually the cover girl for the magazines she appears in, this set is from the February 18, 2025 issue of Flash which had outtake pics from her third and last(?) photobook.








 Will end off with the links to Yuki's second and third photobooks, sure many have seen those posts but sure there are a few who haven't and now you can make your life complete!!!! Will have Yuki's third photobook first, "Yoda" is the simple title for the book and it was released last February 12th. After three months sales were close to 120,000 copies sold, a high amount but her previous book sold over 200,000 copies! The photo shoot took place in Australia and that's become the most popular site for Idol books, here's the link to the book: "Yoda"











 As sizzling as that above book is I think Yuki's second book was so much better and it's what made me finally notice her so much more. The title is "Mukuchi na Jikan" and was released in March 2020, the photo shoot took place in SW Sicily. Books sold so much better prior to 2022, this book sold 220,000 copies by the end of 2020 and perhaps that total has risen to 250K? After the pics is a new video from the Bis magazine featuring Yuki and her two '46' mates plus here's the link to her second photobook.
