Nashiko Momotsuki: Her belated(π’π΄ πΆπ΄πΆπ’π) 'Happy 28th Birthday' post....
Very seldom birthday posts are done on the same day it happens, this one is ten days late. But at the time there was no way this post could have been done, even though there have been some new things in the last week this still is only a medium sized post. Which is normal for Nashiko, she's had more posts than any other gravure model the last five years though have noticed that besides her digital books most of the posts have 45-50 pics. Which isn't too small but there are quite a few women here whose posts usually get seventy or more pics.
The year 2023 was not Nashiko's best one here and it truly may have been her worst since I began posting about her way back in 2018. This is only her third post since June and have mentioned how the last three years her posts come in spurts, four in a two month stretch and then zero for the next two. Plus as mentioned her posts haven't been as large as other women so because so because of that the unthinkable took place. Which is that after three consecutive years making the faves list Nashiko dropped out and would have placed her about 18th out of the 28 women who qualified. Hated to see that happen but the ones above her had better years and were more deserving of making the list.
This is another smallish post for her as there's only a little over forty new pics, the ones below are from previous birthdays. Nashiko is 28 now in age which is a bit old for a gravure model so that could be a huge reason for her cutting back on doing that kind of work this year. She has been working much harder at her acting career and will be in a drama starting in January.
Only four older birthday pics above but the first four below are for this year's celebration. They're from her IG page and the pics after that are also from her page though not as many as usual plus only two are from any of her photo shoots. Which does make sense as Nashiko's only had one gravure spread the last four months and will end the post off with that.
The only other two things for today are a pair of new magazine spreads, this first set is from the October 11th issue of Weekly Shonen. When I first began to post about Nashiko five years ago she had just been starting her gravure career and back then she was mostly known for her cosplaying. Then once her gravure career began to take off we saw very few pics of her cosplaying but in the last year she's done a few spreads of her favorite activity. So you would think Halloween would be her fave day of the year but there no pics of dressing up this year for the day.
Final thing for today will be everyone's top pics for this post and Nashiko is the cover girl for the December 1st issue of Young Champion. Was just thinking it's been exactly a year since her last digital book so hope she hasn't retired from doing those. The bottom three pics are from the photo shoot and it was good timing for this post as she added a video to her YT channel for this spread three hours ago and that's after the pics.
