Ayano Sumida: Her roasting "WPB" digital book plus some other treats....

 


 Another in the recent line of posts I call Simple though they're really not that way but compared to most other posts I should be able to zip through this though seeing as how I can't keep my big mouth shut for too long..........! Simple post but have close to a hundred Ayano pictures for today that have never been seen here before and was going to take the rest of the day off after that previous post. But have been on such a nice roll lately with posts and that's happened so infrequently the past year so why stop now! Of curse we're in the shortest month of the year but February may end up being one of the top ones of the year, after this will be working on a birthday post which I hope to have complete for tomorrow.



 Speaking of birthdays a minute or two before beginning this post just recalled that in twelve days Ayano will be hitting the age of 27 and should I hold off on this? But said to myself sure there's more things from 2025 that I've missed that can be included in at least one more post so shortly after her February 26th b-day will try to have a belated post for the occasion. Ayano went the final four months of last year without a post and that was mainly my fault, at times I forget or overlook a favorite of mine which is what happened and it won't be the last time either. Not much to add in about her recent activities as Ayano hasn't been doing that much except for gravure modeling, she used to be in a J-Pop group called Wild Bunny, did host a radio show and has done some acting but not much of anything lately. But she seems to be one of the more popular gravure models, it's not a well paying profession but if you are one of the more popular models it can be a lucrative career.



 In the beginning what Simple really meant is that there will be only four sections to this post but think the new photos add up to be exactly a hundred! First off are these brand new pics from Ayano's IG page and she posts so many sweltering pics, the top ones in red are from a Bomb magazine photo shoot. All the pics are terrific but my faves are the bottom two.















 A year ago Ayano released her second regular photobook on her 26th birthday, there won't be a book for this year. But perhaps there will be another set of trading cards as the previous three years Ayano has released a huge set of them, the ones below are from volume three of her cards that came out last July. Wish more gravure models would release these sets, sure the cost isn't too high as the pictures are often outtakes from photobooks.















 Am almost done with posting Ayano's magazine spreads missed from last year, in an oddity seems she had more digital books than spreads. This broiling set is from the Summer edition of Sabra, they used to have monthly issues but now just have an edition for the four seasons and their old issues used to include such a terrific DVD with about ten models.









 Now on to the WPB digital book that was released last May 26th and contains 64 photos, I had five posts last year for Ayano up until August and don't know why this book wasn't in a post. There's a few other books that were released after August, think the total is four and will try to have two of those. The book had the title of "Demonic Goddess", can understand the Goddess part for Ayano but being a Demon? After the pics is a short promo video for this book, last August she released her fourth gravure DVD and all are well over an hour in length.
