Kisumi Amau: Her blistering new 'Young Jump' digital photobook and slightly more....
Have moaned a few times how there's been so fewer digital books this year compared to 2022. But looking back on those posts did notice the vast majority came out in the first and last three months of the year, same for 2021 also. Very few came out in the Summer so wonder if these books tend to be easier for magazine to release them in the colder seasons? Say that because this is the second post in a row for a book and have five more that have come out in the last week! That's perfect timing for me as these kinds of posts are a bit easier for me to do versus regular posts. Need the extra time to write up some drama recaps plus want to get a head start on doing post for this year's faves list so you may be seeing a few more of these this week along with one ultra, ultra sweltering regular photobook.
Kisumi has eight posts so far for the 'Nao Year' which ends on November 30th. That's her highest total ever for a year and more than some of my much bigger faves had this year. I do like Kisumi quite a bit and have for over three years but can't see her making this year's faves list. Sixteen will be on the list, just six posts are needed to qualify and 27 hit that mark in 2023. That means eleven won't make the cut but that doesn't mean I don't like them but it's sadly the way things turned out. For instance Kisumi's mag spreads and books have all been hotter than hot but there hasn't been much else in her posts. Kisumi is an actress and cosplayer but hasn't done either of those in 2023, she's also a member of the J-Pop group #2i2 who are decent but will never be all that popular. Popular is what she has become here as her posts these days draw so many more views than they once did.
That's #2i2 right above, they're very similar to BababaBambi and often appear together at concerts, one day may do a group post. You may see many more of these posts in the next week, ones that have a high amount of pics but not many sections to them but as mentioned that helps me as I need the time to write up many other posts. First off for Kisumi are these recent photos from her IG page, not too many new ones and wish she would dress a bit more regularly on occasion.
One newish magazine spread for today and she was the cover girl for the November 2nd issue of Young Jump which is promoting the new book. Kisumi also has two more recent spreads but will wait a few weeks before posting them.
The Young Jump magazine released this digital book on October 19th. It's Kisumi's second book for them this year and back in February posted her other one. This book has 49 pics and after them check out a video from the photo shoot, she doesn't have that many gravure videos though did release her first ever DVD back in August for her 27th birthday.
