Yuika Motokariya: Yet another very belated happy birthday post....

 

 Twenty days to be exact as Yuika turned 35 on September 8th. Then again it truly is a case of better late than never as I didn't think any kind of post could be done this month and doing posts for her is quite an ordeal. Yuika isn't the most difficult fave to post about but she's very close to that, seems like she has a post every four months but how I wish there could be so many more which will sadly never happen. 'That's a shame' many of you viewers are saying too as she's one of the most popular woman ever here and she's also the oldest woman I post about on a semi regular basis.

 Haven't started it yet but tomorrow will be having a wrap up post for the 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list. Will have some final thoughts and random stats, it's a bit of a 'off the top of my head' post. Even though it's so hard to do posts for her Yuika did finish in the 15th position and would have made the top five if she had another 10-15 posts. As of two days ago her post has drawn the most views of anyone on the list but it was neck and neck with #13, we'll see if she can hold on to that slim lead.

 Not a large post but just being able to do any these days for Yuika is somewhat of a bonus. Tried to find some older birthday pics for today but guess what, I was able to find the grand total of.... zero of them! Did look hard and that is one surprising thing, she is a busy woman but also one who is a bit private. Have some random pics from her IG page, random meaning a few are new while others are quite old.

 On September 8th which was her 35th birthday Yuika released her sixth photobook "Me". There's two versions of the book and their combined sales were a little over 3,000 copies sold in it's first week. These are the three covers for it plus a few promo pics for the book that have recently come out.

 Here's a new spread from the September 9th issue of Friday. It features one pic from all of Yuika's photobooks with the top one being from her new one.

 Had this set from the August 16th issue of Flash in her last post. It has outtakes pics from the new book and that bottom pic is one of my top ones of the year.... whewwww!!!!

 Yuika may now be 35 in age but in my eyes she's far more attractive than just a small handful of women I post about, she is getting better looking with age! Three days ago which was the 25th she held an event for the new photobook at the 1st Bookstore in Shinjuku. The photo shoot took place on the Amami Islands which is a bit southwest of Kyushu, will this be her final photobook? Have plenty of pics here from the event and the book was also celebrating Yuika's 25th anniversary of being in the entertainment field. No video of the event so after the pics will once again have a promo video for the book, she's never had a gravure video and this is as close as she's come.
