Welcome to this Baka's blog on his fave Japanese Pop Culture interests.
Welcome to my humble site....
Hajimemashite minna san....welcome to my site on my fave Japanese Pop Culture likes such as dramas, movies, magazine scans, promo events etc. Mainly concentrate on my faves...Yui Kobayashi... Miku Tanaka... Nagi Inoue....Maria Makino.... Nene Shida....if you're a fan at all of any of them then you've come to the rightplace(!) but many others are featured here besides them. Do mainly quick reviews on things I've watched, try to make the reviews brief, quick to read through with not too many spoilers, just whether they're good or bad and why I thought so plus whether you may find them enjoyable. Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available. Hope you find something that interests you, don't hesitate to comment, arigato gozaimasu!
I've switched the dates for this book three times but with this post it's the final time! Was going to have this on August 1st but had a few other superb posts to begin off the month so moved it to September 1st. Try to begin off a month with a terrific photobook which isn't written in stone and it's getting harder to do so these days. But as you can see have have gone right in the middle of those two dates as today is August 15th, two weeks either way didn't matter. My rule is to wait at least three months before posting a regular photobook such as this one which was released n April 22nd. That was close to four months ago so could have done this post a few weeks back and think this may be the final 2026 photobook in my cache. One other reason for doing this today was to keep the streak alive of having a post a day for this month and have a fabulous one almost set to go for tomorrow but can't finish it until then.
This stupendous book contains 118 photos which are below, the above four were outtake/promo pics for the book and were too terrific not to include! The title "Musubi" means Unfinished and really can't tell you what Nashiko mean that, her career? Which is showing no signs of slowing down even though her 31st birthday will be in less than three months. She was a bit quiet for a spell after this book was released in April but has two digital books coming out very soon. Nashiko has about 35 of those books but only two of these regular photobooks, her first came out in November 2020 and that book had a similar title. For this book Nashiko traveled to Catalonia, Spain and bet her looks stunned most of the locals! This was a decent seller as it was in the top ten for sales its first three weeks out selling close to 6,000 copies. Think the first printing was of 10,000 copies and that sold out so this book would have to be considered a success and the books for gravure models will sell much less than ones for J-Pop Idols. At 101 posts Nashiko is the first gravure model to hit a hundred posts here and her nearest rival is sixteen posts behind. So having so many posts means I am running out of things to discuss about Nashiko but she does much more than just gravure modeling. Such as having the best YT Vlog of anyone I do posts for and after the pics is a video Nashiko uploaded to her channel for her Spain trip. That's after the sizzling photos and though long recommend viewing it as of course Nashiko looks amazing and I also enjoy her quirky sense of humor.
