Sayaka Tomaru: Another in the 'Blast from the Past' series....
Have done many of these 'Blast from the Past' posts over the last few months which is both good and bad. Of course the bad part has meant that a fave of both mine and you viewers has disappeared for a long stretch of time. The good part being they've made a return to action, some only for one post but don't think that will be the case this time and know her huge fan base is hoping that's true.
That's because Sayaka is one of the most popular women I've ever posted about and does she have such a massive fan base here! Been a while since I've figured out who the most popular women have been here from the last four or so years but she'd be right up there! Sayaka had a decent amount of posts up to 2021 but they've really petered out the last two years. In 2022 she only had one post for a new activity, that was for a digital book though think the photos were from a prior year. So 2022 was not a busy year for Sayaka up until October, she was in a drama that started then plus had her first magazine spread in about a year(!) which is unheard of for her.
So piecing things together it appears Sayaka took at least a year off, the second half of 2021 wasn't a busy period for her either. But she's had four magazine spreads in the last two months so seems she's back to her old self and she's one of the older gravure models I post about as she'll be turning 27 in September. Sayaka has a Line blog where she posts many pics from her photo shoots, someone else I post about does that too and wish more would do that. This batch is from the last few months and many of the pics are better than the ones that appear in the magazine.
Have five magazine spreads for today with four being from the last two months. This first set is from the October 28th issue of Friday which was Sayaka's first spread in almost a year.
That above spread featured outtake pics from a special Friday digital book which also had four other models. There were just sixteen photos and many were also in the magazine spread.
Up next is this set from the December 27th issue of Flash, as you can see Sayaka looks as good as ever and am hoping we'll see a few digital books from her this year. A regular photobook would be nice too, her last one came out in January 2020 and the post for that has been her most viewed one ever.
Will be ending off with a trio of Sayaka spreads that have all come out in the last week, first up is this set from the February 24th edition of Friday.
Another set from Flash and this is from their February 28th issue, lot of recent spreads for Sayaka but none of them are big enough!
Over the years Sayaka has been the cover girl of too many magazines to count. She makes a return to the cover for this final spread from the March 7th issue of Manga Action and why wasn't it much larger? After the pics is a short video from the photo shoot.
