Juice=Juice: Akari Uemura 'H!P Digital Books' #198 scans and happy 22nd birthday!

 

 Hello Project groups and members had 344 posts before this one, as unbelievable as it may sound this is just the second H!P post of the year!!!! Won't drag my thoughts out but to me their groups have put out the best songs of any Idol group the last twenty years, to celebrate this post am cranking out some older Morning Musume tunes and no group has ever touched their 1998-2004 singles. Two weeks ago they finally released a single, was planning on having a post or two but put it on hold for now as a massive fave has a spread coming out in ten days and waiting for that.

 My interest in Idol group's music has certainly waned since C-ute disbanded in June 2017. Of course I still listen to a lot of groups but the songs really can't compare to older ones. But after C-ute ceased really thought Juice=Juice would take over their mantle for being my fave J-Pop group as far as singles went and from 2014-18 no group had better singles. Their songs are still decent but they were forced to add in four members these past two years, all of them were 16-18 in age which disappointed me as all of the other members were 20+ in age. So the only posts in the last two years have been for Tomoko who has nine solo ones and guess I need to have another one for her. Bit surprised Tomoko is still in JJ as she's 25 in age and that's a rarity for a H!P gal.

 As far as hot Hello Project members go it's hard to top Akari, there's only gal in MM who does. For so long was planning on having her fifth solo post but there were never enough things and eventually forgot about her. But now that JJ is back in  my mini brain will work on having another post after this for Akari and perhaps for the group or at least with the members twenty or older. Mentioned birthday in the heading, in three days Akari will be turning 22 but she's been such a hot gal for so long.

 The very top two pics aren't from this digital book but one of her older ones. Have had four others for this monthly PB and I would recommend clicking on the label at the bottom to check those out and you won't be disappointed. Can guarantee that as those four other posts have an average of over 1,400 views!! This set for today though is only so-so, all of the pics are quite superb but not as many gravure ones until the end.

 These are outtake pics from Akari's third photobook 'Akari III" that came out in January 2019, talk about holding on to pics for a long time. That was a fine book but haven't posted the pics from it yet, have also viewed the 'making of video' for the book which was also good. But will admit Akari's first two books were much better along with her earlier videos but I'm kind of glad I could do this post as it had been so long since a JJ post. They're not that popular here but know they do have some fans, promise to work on a post and this set has a hundred pics. Usually a member has two of these in a row so wouldn't be surprised if she is featured in volume #199 and bet that will have the more sultry pics.
