Erika Denya: Her slightly ancient but truly scintillating.... "Sol" photobook scans and a tad more....

 


 Many women I post about celebrate their birthday on the same date but up until two years ago thought only Nana Yamada and Mina Oba were also born in the same year, their DOB is April 3, 1992. But then discovered that Saki Nakajima from C-ute and Arisa Komiya from the voice acting troupe Aqours also shared the same DOB which is February 5, 1994. Now add a third pairing who is Sae Okazaki and of all things has the post below this one! She was born on November 2, 1995 and naturally bring that up for so wasn't today's honoree Erika and I didn't plan this out at all. All the pairings feature terrific women and Saki had been my time #1 woman for many years but as far as duos go my favorites would be the first pair. For those who don't know much about Erika recommend checking out her previous seven posts which were done in 2018-20 and she was becoming a favorite of mine but sadly it wasn't my decision that her posts ceased. Erika had been a member of the Babyraids J-Pop group and I did like their songs but was never a huge fan of them which was perhaps because they broke up close to eight years ago.



 Erika had some sizzling digital books from 2017 to 2019 yet until last year that was the only stretch she did gravure photo shoots. Last Summer she did appear in a pair of magazines plus had a digital book which I do have but hadn't posted it yet and not sure why. That book and spreads had been Erika's first set of gravure pics in six years or since the release oft his book, think she did that to jumpstart her career and noticed that doesn't help too often. Since Babyraids disbanded in September 2018 Erika has mainly done acting as far as activities go, she is one intelligent woman that often appears on variety game shows and has said how if things were different she may have become some sort of college professor! Well, Erika does have a figure to be a Math whiz(?) and will discuss thing in her next post as I will finally have last year's book and will be doing that post in August. Think one reason I hadn't posted the book or spreads is that I thought it would have been a one and done comeback post for Erika but with this book that's no longer the case.



 Will have two other things besides the photobook and first up are these pictures from an event held for it on October 5, 2019. The photobook was released on October 2nd and was Erika's second book, her first came out in 2014. However that book had no gravure photos and Erika never had any of those until 2017 or a bit before her 22nd birthday but as you've noticed in these pics up until then the wait was worth it!!!!









 To promote the book she had a trio of magazine spreads to promote it, will have one for today that's from the October 14, 2019 issue of WPB. Erika was the cover girl and the magazine published today's photobook, they also released last year's digital book.










 On to the scorching "Sol" photobook, that means Sun in Italian and Spanish. Erika did travel to Barcelona for the photo shoot and this is one fabulous book so what a shame that Erika didn't do any more gravure modeling for the next six years. Erika is very popular with you readers, her previous seven posts have an average of 1,895 views and hope this eclipses two thousand as it does deserve to do so! There's 101 pics in the book, the first six of the post and there's 95 below. After the pics is a short promo video for the book and as mentioned will have another post for Erika in August.
