Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available.

Last March had a similar post for Kanami for I thought the posts would soon be coming fast and furious, was way off with that thought for this is her first post since then! Kanami has been a gravure model and actress for almost seven years yet I never introduced her until early 2024, know I gave some reasons why it took me so long but can't remember what they were. That first year had eight posts but this is only her third since, I fully expected Kanami to be one woman I could always depend on for posts but that sadly didn't work out. The reason for so many posts in 2024 was because I had to play catch up with all of her 2020-24 books and magazine spreads, most were truly sizzling!
This July Kanami will be hitting the age of 29 so I could have begun posting about her in 2019 yet just because I can post about someone doesn't mean I do. As a matter of fact even though there are a lot of posts for gravure models I may only post about 1% of them or perhaps even less! It kind of figures(!) that when I began to post about Kanami her gravure modeling really slowed down, there hasn't been all that much over the last year. But a new digital book just came out plus she has a pair of upcoming mag spreads so am hoping the title of the post is for once correct. Kanami's acting career has been busier so sure that's a reason for the slowdown in modeling, she has a stage play opening on March 21st and was also in a web drama last year. But was just looking at her Ja.wiki page and 2025 was overall just a slow year for activities but there are two more books to hunt down.
The posts this year have been bigger than ever but for can finally make one medium sized as I'll just have four sections to this post. First off are some recent photos from Kanami's IG page, the bottom two are from a photo shoot for a new digital book but I like the way she looks dressed down in the other pics.
Back in 2024 Kanami released her first ever set of trading cards, have a few more below that hadn't been posted. Kanami is so-so popular with you readers, her posts up until now have averaged about 800 views per post but thought that average would have been higher.... once again I was way off with a prediction!
The newish digital book was published by the WPB magazine but there was no spread to promote it so have her final spread to date(?) for the magazine which is from their July 29, 2024 issue. That's become common this past year or so where there's no accompanying magazine spread for a book.
We've hit the end and have the WPB digital book which the magazine released on December 15th and it has 52 photos, after the book is a short video from the photo shoot. Kanami also had two other 2025 books but hadn't been noticing her in any magazines so it had become a case of out of sight, out of mind....
