Iori Sagara: Her astonishing "SPA!" digital book plus more treats....

 


 This makes it three posts already in March for Iori and rarely have so many in such a short period of time for someone. Had planned on doing a different post for today but that fell through and did want to keep that streak of having at least a post a day which has been going on for at least seven weeks. I don't mind at all having another post for Iori as lately I can't get enough of her, she's always looked super duper but her level of alluringness is at an all time high! She's easily had more posts than any other prior or active Nogi member the last 2 1/2 years and aren't the posts slowing down quickly for them? Too quickly if you ask me, have only been able to do have posts on a semi-consistent basis the last year for one other member and she too has become a gravure model, why haven't more members?



 Been discussing the 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list more recently and before you know it the countdown will commence. There are 16-17 definites for the list and been trying to figure who may fill the remaining slots? There were close to ten women vying for that small amount of openings and with each post featuring her it's becoming much more certain Iori will make the list, she even as a shot at making the top ten! Iori's had that that honor the past three years on the fave's list and should make the list once again this year. Plus only two women at the most have had more posts than Iori over the last thirty months and her gravure photos could be the best of anyone over that stretch of time so it appears one less position will be available for those other 8-10 women....



 Have a mix of some newer and older photos for today, Iori will be the cover girl for two upcoming magazines and a week ago her first digital book for 2026 was released. Plus she has her first stage play in a while opening soon so these posts should hopefully be continuing on for a while. Have posted all of her older Nogi cards for March so have some for the group's 2018 and 2017 birthday/anniversary concerts which are held at the end of February and these could all be new for here.
















 This Saturday the huge Spring 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will be held, at one time so many of my favorites would be in attendance but not so these days. But a pair of current Nogi members will be at this weekend's show so am keeping my fingers crossed both can have a post by the end of the month. Iori has appeared at a few of those shows but not for many years, the below are from the January 12, 2019 TGC show held in Shizuoka. Didn't she look absolutely amazing(yes!) yet it was another 4 1/2 years before her first ever set of gravure photos!







 Speaking of Firsts may have two others here, was going through my ancient Nogi magazine spreads and as far as I can tell this was Iori's first solo spread. It was from the December 16, 2016 issue of Young Gangan and another Nogi mate had been the cover girl.









 The other first is this set from the October 2, 2023 issue of WPB, it was the first time she had graced a magazine cover by herself. It was promoting a digital book and by that tome she had been doing gravure modeling for almost four months and at the time who knew that Iori may have become my top gravure model since then?















 On the book which the SPA! magazine released on October 5th and contains 47 ultra sweltering photos! There was no mag spread for the book and this was a period when Iori had disappeared for a while so the pics were probably from an old photo shoot, the tenth one down is my favorite of the bunch! Couldn't find a video for this book so after the pics is one for the above WPB mag spread and there's been a shortage of Iori videos the past year as she no longer uploads any to her YT channel.
