Nicole Fujita: "Will You Like It?" photobook scans....
"Will You Like It" is a fairly good title and think all of her fans will give a resounding answer of YES!!!! This has certainly been the year of photobooks and can't recall ever seeing so many released, mainly for the first four months as there has been a slowdown due to the health crisis but they're starting to pick up again. And just about every one has been such a superb PB, if I had to make a list of my top five or ten for 2020 it'd be extremely difficult which is actually a good thing.
Was talking about my 'semi-faves' the other day and how I tend to forget about them at times. Nicole is someone who you could include in that group as I do like her quite a bit though she too slips from my memory. Did a pair of posts for her earlier this year but none for close to six months but could have done at least one. That second post was quite popular as it was in the top ten for views for close to a month. Nicole will be appearing at the September 5th "Tokyo Girls Collection' show so will have a post for her after that with pics from the show, some mag spreads and modeling pics.
This PB sold very well, it was released on February 22nd which was two days after her 22nd birthday. Can't recall the exact sales figures but know it sold over 20,000 copies in each of it's first two weeks and was in the top five for sales for over a month, it's had four reprints. This is Nicole's first gravure photobook but she did have a pair of 'style books' from prior years.
The photo shoot took place on the island of Bali but could have taken place anywhere. That's because I've never seen such a large PB whose pics are 90+% that are either swimsuit or lingerie ones. Not complaining in the least but she does have a bit of 'style' to her so figured there would be more pics in that vein or traveling around the island. Let's get to the pics and have been noticing photobooks are getting larger as the years go on, this PB has 134 and there's little doubt Nicole's huge fan base here will savor these immensely.
