Was going to have a birthday post for today and still might though the odds are now much lower due to this post. That other post could take a while plus the birthday isn't until tomorrow plus had more of an urge to do a post for Yuzuha! Who still isn't popular here or at least to the level I thought she would be at. Yuzuha's had six posts in the last nine months, only one has exceeded 650 views and to be honest when I first introduced Yuzuha thought she would be a superstar here! Well, not to you readers but she is to me as Yuzuha π has become my all time hottest/alluring/sexy/etc. woman of all time and that may have happened over a year ago but didn't mention it until November.
Starting in 2018 had a rule where a woman needed six posts in a year to be eligible for the fave's list but in 2025 changed it to five and may have to keep it that way as long as this blog is alive. Every year fewer women were qualifying and that one less post meant four more were eligible last year. One of those was Yuzuha who ended up in the ninth position, two years before she was in the eleventh spot. But those five posts had been between April and November so she did end off 2025 on a strong note, this is now Yuzuha's second post for the 2026 'Nao Year' and if she makes it to five again can see another top ten finish.... wow, did I become smitten with Yuzuha π in such a short amount of time.... think it was the first time I laid eyes on her!!!!
Have said before while it may seem as though I post about a lot of gravure models the total is very small and many had been J-Pop Idols who I had done posts for before changing careers. There has to be hundreds if not over a thousand active gravure models and I only post about a dozen of them, possibly a handful more. So what I'm trying to say is that only very few grab my attention and Yuzuha did that from the first second I saw her, will stop gushing now but I could go on all day with my thoughts! Yuzuha's first post was done exactly three years ago, February 2023, and that was for a Friday digital book which is my second favorite book of all time. This makes it post #16 so she's averaged 5.3 posts a year and how I wish it was double that! In six months the countdown for my third 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list will begin and I'm looking forward to that. On the last list there were a few massive favorites of mine who were like Yuzaha and didn't have a huge amount of posts, it certainly helps having many but that's not the only criteria I use for those making the list. So if Yuzuha can make it up to twenty posts by August she'll squeeze on to the list and it's hard to explain how perfect she looks to me....
It's easy to see how hot and alluring Yuzuha is but her posts do have a lot of variety plus she is a very smart woman who did attend college. Because of that Yuzuha got a late start to her career and didn't have her first gravure photos until late 2022 when she was 23 in age, last October she celebrated birthday #26. First off are these older Valentine's pics and it doesn't appear to be a huge holiday for her as these four photos are it!
Yuzuha posts many photos are her IG page, the ones below are from the last five weeks. Those top three are from a recent WPB photo shoot and so aren't the bottom ones which are for the March issue of Running Magazine Creel.
Also at her IG page were these pics from an Entame magazine photo shoot, these are outtakes from an Yuzuha digital book for them which came out five days ago. In three years Yuzuha has had about fifteen digital books or about five a year, that seems like quite a few but some other gravure models have over twice that amount! But Yuzuha does much more than modeling, she's currently in a stage play and is also appearing in a web drama plus since April 2022 has been a reporter for the "King's Brunch" show.
This book came out seven months ago but I just got it last week. There's a terrific magazine spread to promote it and Yuzuha was the cover girl for the June 17th issue of Flash, this book was her first one for the magazine.
On to the "Lumiere" digital book which contains 62 overly sweltering photos of Yuzuha, it was released on June 3rd of last year by the Flash magazine. There was no video for this book and that's common for this magazine, after the pics is a newish short one from WPB for another upcoming digital book. Did just say Yuzuha has about fifteen or more of these books but still hasn't had a regular photobook, to me 2026 seems like the perfect time for one!
