Ayano Shimizu: Magazine scans #3....



 As promised Friday in Ayano's terrific YSV pictorial am back with many new mag spreads. However not as many as I originally thought as there was just a post done for her on September 27th which I forgot all about. But do have four spreads and will have an encore viewing of one from that last post to fill this one up.
 Two posts in a row for ex-AKB members and as I said in her post Friday seems the only gals we hear about these days are members who became gravure models. Least the bright side of that is they all look fabulous and do stay relatively busy. Ayano was in her first full time drama this year which was "Runway 24" which looks to be an okay show but of course it wasn't subbed. She's also been in a few stage plays this year and had the lead role in her last one.


 Have mentioned on a few occasions that December seems to be a much slower month for activities my bigger faves do. Such as J-Pop groups not releasing singles nor do regular dramas start up and many mags take two weeks off from publishing. But the amount of posts done over the years has stayed almost the same to other months and am finding out the reason is that I may do many more posts for gravure models as perhaps this is their time of the year? Not too many recent activities for Ayano such as appearing at events or in dramas. She does have a Line blog which she does update often, some recent pics and pay attention to the bottom one.









 That bottom pic is a backstage one from her 'Oobakamono' play which ran for a week and opened at the end of October. That other gal is Minami Sengoku and what a mega fave she is of mine. She finished second(!) on my 'All Time Top Twenty Faves' list which I did a little over a year ago. She graduated from Up Up Girls in September 2017 and has mainly been doing plays since then with an occasional guest spot on a drama which means she's had virtually no posts in two years.
 But no idol can top her videos or mag spreads, I really miss posting about her. Good to see Ayano picks good company and hopefully is carrying on her tradition of supreme mag spreads. Will start off with the one I mentioned that was in her previous post done about ten weeks ago and this set is from the September 20th issue of Young Gangan.











 In that previous post Ayano was the cover girl for the September 10th edition of Weekly Ascii, she also had the honor for the following issue. This and the spread above were promoting her first gravure DVD that came out on August 23rd.






 Halfway through the spreads and this set is from the October Cyzo.






 At four pages a way too small Ayano spread that's from the November 19th issue of SPA!.






 Mentioned above that Ayano's first DVD came out in August, not a long wait for her second one as it's coming out on January 24th. This spread from the December 3rd issue of Flash has some pics from the photo shoot and sure there will be a few upcoming spreads promoting it.
