Kyoko Fukada: Few new dazzling mag spreads....



 Not a massive post but one I'm sure so many will enjoy as Kyoko has such a large fan base here. There's been quite a few popular Idols who I've posted about in the last year or so and the posts for their photobooks have received a huge amount of views. But Kyoko can laugh at those numbers as no gal tops how many views her photobooks have received, think of the top ten posts for views she has six of them.
 Kyoko has released ten(!) books since February 2011 and that's even with taking last year off. Her newest one came out on May 13th and today's four spreads have plenty of fabulous outtake pics from them. "Brand New Me" is the title of the PB but to me there was zero wrong with the old Kyoko! Few weeks ago mentioned how a person was the oldest gal woman I post about on a somewhat consistent basis but was wrong with that declaration. Kyoko is the oldest person I post about and she's now very close to fifty posts. She's currently 37 in age but on November 2nd will be turning a year older, as they say for fine wine....


 In it's first week out "Brand New Me" topped the charts selling 16,243 copies. That's a respectable total but of course the figure would have been 10,000 more sold if not for the crisis going on and so many consumers staying home. That's been the story for so many recent photobooks and perhaps once things become a bit more normal those photobooks will have a new lease on life. Pics for it were taken in Hawaii, seems all of Kyoko's books have been shot there or somewhere in the Pacific save for one.





 This slowdown on activities didn't affect Kyoko's promoting of the book as she's rarely done interviews for her older ones plus can't ever recall her appearing at an event. She's also someone who never uses current social media and those negatives promoting her books never seem to affect them as all usually hit #1 on the charts. So this is definitely a one dimensional post as the only thing are mag spreads but once you view the stupendous pics sure that'll be oki doki for you. This first set is from issue #16 of WPB.








 Next two sets are also from WPB and Kyoko is the cover girl for both issues, this spread is from their May 18th edition.













 This WPB set is from their June 2nd issue and like all of the other sets features outtake pics from the PB. They and most other weekly magazines are only publishing an issue every other week as it appears photo shoots are not allowed and they must not have a had a large inventory so they need to space things out.









 Kyoko is once again the cover girl for today's final spread that's from the May 7th issue of Young Jump. No upcoming dramas for her but bet I've watched ten of her series, while so many viewers don't think much of her as an actress I've always enjoyed Kyoko. Thought her last series "Daughter of Lupin" was her best drama in years. Following the pics is a short promo video for the PB.
