Saeko Kondo: Her highly anticipated seventh solo post!

 


 First solo post in nine months though you've seen plenty of pics in group posts. Last year up until June rarely a week went by without a post for BababaBambi but then all of a sudden those posts seemed to cease. There were very few in the second half of the year until November, 2024 has started off the same way but have a strong feeling these posts won't be drying up so quickly. Did have a BababaBambi group post a week ago with the news of them getting three new members soon, have more news about them further on down and hopefully can have another post for them in about two weeks.



 Saeko is someone who I've really come to adore quite a bit over the last two years, at 148 cm she's another 'shortie' who packs so much into a tiny frame. She's one of three BababaBambi members who will be hitting the age of 27 this year, that will be on July 1st. Seeing how the group has only been around since July 2020 don't think any of the trio will leaving this year, hopefully not for another 2-3 years and lets see if I'm finally correct with that kind of prediction. Saeko was in the FES ✰ TIVE J-Pop group, they formed in 2013 though she didn't join until 2018 and left 2 1/2 years later to join her current group. Have heard of FES ✰ TIVE but not their songs, have checked out their singles and they do seem to be semi popular as ten of their sixteen singles have made the top ten so think it's time to check out their tunes.



 Just learned some terrific news today which is that BababaBambi will be releasing their first group photobook on April 3rd. The BLT magazine is publishing it, there will be outtake pics from prior spreads, new ones from a hot springs trip the group took for the book, many pics from their recent Budokan concert and a few other things. Below is the cover for the book along with some promo photos for it, it would be nice if there was an event for the book.





 Speaking of Budokan have many solo pics below of Saeko from the concert that weren't in that last group post. The show took place on March 14th so that book had to be assembled quickly as it will be coming out in eleven days. Haven't viewed this concert yet and I really would like to, it wasn't streamed so odds are that if there's no DVD no fan who wasn't there will be able to view it.























 Saeko does post many photos at her IG page though not many are gravure ones. That's fine by me as I like the way she often dresses and it does appear Saeko does love to cosplay but she never mentions ever having done it.

















 Here's a real old set of pics that had never been posted, they're from the May 18, 2018 issue of Tokyo Idol Net and it was at the time Saeko joined her old group. This was a large set as this is only half the spread and will have the other half in her next post.















 Maly Moon is a site where you can purchase the group uniforms and also many cosplaying outfits. Instead of having regular Saeko site pics have some from the photo shoots which to me are so much better.












 In 2022 and the first half of 2023 Saeko did have a fair amount of solo mag spreads plus two digital books. None since then though she has been in five group spreads, hopefully she and her mates will be having some sets to promote that photobook. Here's Saeko's last solo spread to date which hadn't been posted before and is from volume 69 of GTV that came out at the end of November.










 Will end off with an encore viewing of this spread that was from a special Strike! issue that came out on February 7th. It did feature the other members but all were with a gal from a different J-Pop group, these are mainly Saeko's solo pics and she's with Yuru Yura(!) from the YoYoYo group. There is a video of the photo shoot and that's after the pics.
