Asuka Kawazu: Young Magazine "Girls" digital book plus slightly more....

 


 Here's a difficult woman to do posts for so to my amazement was shocked that she had five posts in 2024! However that was after having only one is 2023 which is why I think those posts last year weren't as popular as the eight or so she had in 2022. Still have that rule about not introducing someone until they hit 22 in age and when was the last time there's been a newbie here? There's been zero so far for this year and Asuka's first post was done in the second half of February 2022 which was just after her 22nd birthday. She became an instant superstar here and those eight posts done back in 2022 must have an average of close to 5,000 views a post by now! WOW, that may make Asuka the most popular woman here for the last three years, it's not that her five 2024 posts didn't garner many views but not at the level of the ones done three years ago.



 The reason Asuka's posts have been and always will be sporadic is that she's mainly an actress who every now and again may spend a month doing some gravure photo shoots. She hasn't done any lately as her last magazine spread came out last November but do have a digital book from last year and also will have an encore viewing of some of her 2024 magazine spreads which many of you may have never seen. I did notice that Asuka may have taken a mini break from about October until March which was when her most newest drama began. She was at an event in November for her 2025 calendar but haven't heard much else from her for a while. I've seen Asuka in four dramas but none since her 2023 series "Akai Ringo" which was one of the oddest shows I've ever seen, much better was the 2020 series "Kamen Rider Saber" but I am biased because of being a fan of those shows.



 This will be a very simple post, many photos but only from the book and some semi-older magazine spreads. Asuka's activities have slowed down a bit as mentioned as she did take a brief break so wouldn't doubt if we may begin seeing some newer gravure spreads soon and how I hope so. Of all the women I do posts for she has the fewest photos of anyone at her IG page or fan club site so can't have any of those for today as there are none! But then again many may not complain as it means more of Asuka's dazzling gravure pics and I am surprised to a slight extent at her popularity as she is a bit thin and not as bodacious as many other models. But she does have that certain something about her and I think she looks perfect the way she is, let's go back about a year for this super duper spread that's from the March 22, 2024 issue of Friday.














 Here's a bonus set of photos that hadn't been posted before. The above spread was promoting a mini digital book at the Friday site and for some reason had been holding on to it, think because it was titled as volume one. So guess I had been waiting for more volumes to appear which didn't happen and that's okay as it now means 85 of the pics for today are new for here.




















 This very small set from the November 26th issue of Flash is Asuka's last magazine spread to date, you may have figured it out already but back in February she hit the age of 25.




 For the final spread need a bigger one than the set above so let's go back exactly five years to one of Asuka's first ever gravure spreads. It's from the May 4, 2020 issue of WPB and though she appears tall 163 cm is her height which is about 64 inches.









 For the finale have that Young Magazine digital book mentioned in the title. This pictorial came out last June 28th and there was no magazine spread accompanying it, sometimes when I don't do a post for someone for a while tend to forget I have things from them that hadn't been posted. While there's no video for this book that contains 67 photos after them is a short video for Asuka's first ever book and it's so terrific wish it was much longer.
