Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available.

Saeko Kondo: A new sizzling digital book plus a few other goodies....

 


 This is Saeko's sixth overall solo post, her fifth since December 1st so she just needs one more to qualify for the yearly faves list. That doesn't begin until the end of November but time flies by so quickly and before you know it Winter will be here. So will do a post at the end of July or beginning of August to look at where we stand for this year's list. Such as how many have qualified and what their early positions are. The last few years J-Pop Idols have dominated the list, would expect four Hina members to hit the six post mark that's needed and that many should be no surprise. But it may be a shock that four members from BababaBambi will also qualify for the list and perhaps I should rename it for 2023 'The Yearly Fave Idols' list.



 Know I often say that so and so is a massive fave of mine and can''t even imagine how times I've said that. In the case of Saeko I truly mean it for she has become such a huge fave of mine, perhaps my second fave member of the group. She'll be turning 26 on July 1st but this won't be an early birthday post, with any luck can do one for her next month or perhaps have a group post. For some woman it's difficult to tell if they're short or tall unless they're standing next to someone. That's not the case for Saeko who looks short in most of her solo pics but maybe that makes her look even more adorable, her height is 149 cm but there is one member shorter than she is.



 Whew, back from that cold shower and hope the next one can wait until this post is done!!!! Saeko's first five posts have been so-so popular and would recommend checking them out, think three of those posts also have a digital book. First off are these recent photos from her IG page, she doesn't post too many gravure pics but then again she hasn't had any mag spreads for two months. 












 Then again no BababaBambi member has had a mag spread for well over a month so we could be seeing many of them soon. On May 24th there were two graduations and hope they stay at five members for a while as that's a perfect size for a J-Pop group as all get more chances to shine on stage. My all time group is C-ute and they had five members for their final eight years, Juice=Juice also had that amount of members for many years. If you want to wear a group uniform(!!!!) you can visit the Malymoon site which sells their uniforms. Went there today(not to order any!) and they just updated the group section with these new uniforms which are the first four pics and the last one.












 Seeing as how there's no new mag spreads let's have an encore viewing of a super duper Saeko set that's exactly a year old and from the July 5, 2022 issue of Manga Action.










 Now on to Saeko's new digital photobook which was released four days ago. It's the second one this week from the Brody magazine for a member, my only complaint is that there's only forty pics and the title to it is 'Selfish Gaze'. Will skip having a video as Saeko hasn't had one for months plus the group hasn't updated their YT channel for a while.
