Nicole Fujita: Few recent happenings....
This is just her third post and really thought there were many more. Guess I'll have to work on increasing that number but Nicole's first two posts weren't popular in the least, perhaps the lowest viewed posts of the past year? There's something about her which is just so magnetic, she may not appear so in pics but she is quite a funny young woman and bet she'd do well in a comedy drama or film. Bit of a belated birthday too as she turned 22 on February 20th.
Nicole is scheduled to appear at this weekend's massive 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show. But was reading about the event and how the virus in Japan has played havoc with events and concerts. The show will be taking place at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Shibuya but there will be no audience at the show! Instead it will be streamed and bet that'll be an odd situation for the 175+ models, actresses and Idols who are supposed to take a stroll on the catwalk. Hope I can still have some posts from the show as I usually have five or more from them.
Have mentioned a few times recently that the amount of photobooks that have come out in the past few months is staggering. May have to blame Nogi for that as sure many noticed how many copies their books were selling and wanted to join the action but there's only so many books that can be big sellers. Nicole is someone who just released a PB and it does make sense as she has been a model for five years or so.
Most of this post then will be devoted for the photobook which is titled "Suki ni naru yo?" and was released on February 22nd. Don't know the sales figures for the PB yet as they don't come out until tomorrow but the competition is quite tough. Not sure how much promoting was done for the book but Nicole did do one interview for it with the Crank site.
Few promo pics for the photobook which may also be in some mag spreads but these are clean versions. Nicole is a thin gal but looks pretty darn good to me, if you didn't know her mother is from New Zealand while her father is Japanese.
For being such a popular model Nicole hasn't appeared in as many magazines as you would think. She does have a few spreads to promote the PB which has outtake pics from it but thought there would be more of them, this first set is from the January 10th issue of Friday. Hmmm, noticed this set had been posted but seeing as how that post got such a low amount of views let's have these dazzling pics again.
Another Friday set and Nicole was the cover girl for their February 28th issue.
Way, way too small of a spread from the March 2nd edition of WPB.
On February 22nd, which is the date the book came out, there was an event for it at the Tsutaya bookstore in Shibuya. Some of the articles I read said the book may be a huge seller as the advance orders were quite high, not positive but think the photo shoot took place in Hawaii. Plenty of fine looking Nicole pics from the event and I actually prefer the way she looks in these pics versus some of the above ones, there's a video of the event at the bottom.
