Yume Shinjo: Her astonishing "Yumeiro" photobook scans....

 

 Two days ago did a post for Nashiko's utterly perfect photobook "Mukan" which I said could be one of the best ever and wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be the most viewed post for the next year. Both those thoughts were right on the money but in my opinion this book is almost as terrific, not quite as perfect but really darn close. So also wouldn't be surprised if this photobook didn't garner more views than Nashiko's as Yume is a superstar here and for good reason.

 In 2020 she was my #1 newbie of the year and finished twelfth on the faves list. Yume's posts for 2020 had the sixth highest amount of views by average, they've really increased so she may be up to fifth by now. But in a disappointment she didn't make this year's faves list, Yume did have six posts but only one after June 11th as she sort of disappeared. Do have one new mag spread and a few other tidbits but not all that much considering there's only been one post in six months. Was looking at these pics a bit closer, hard not to(!), and she reminds me so much of Mio Imada which is a high compliment.

 Yume had three prior digital books but this is her first regular regular photobook which was released on February 25th. Need to note that this is the digital version from the WPB magazine site, they published the PB and the only difference is the pics are a bit smaller which doesn't mean much of anything. The book was a decent seller at ~25,000 copies sold, sales have really gone down this year but as far as books that were released in 2021 go this may be #1 on my list. The photo shoots took place on the island of Okinawa and Gunma where Yume hails from. Let's get to pics which total 86 and amazing wasn't an apt enough description....
