Yumiko Shaku: Her 'Happy 46th(!) Birthday' post part two.... magazine scans and slightly more.....

 


 Part two of this mini birthday celebration and haven't been able to do many posts such as these this year. As mentioned in the above post Yumiko will be the oldest woman I ever post about but almost everything you see for her will be over ten years old though do have some newish things for today. Also did say in that post how all of the other women I currently post about will also hopefully be hitting the age of 46 sooner than you think and how many will be as busy as she is at that age? If you look back a decade at who I was posting about so many are now in the range of being 32-38 in age and some I still post about though can't think of where I wanted to go with those thoughts....



 The first four posts for Yumiko were all for photobooks and pictorials, would think the ones after this will also be of them. But this post has more of a variety as there are some semi-older magazine spreads along with a few other things, tried not to make this too huge. Yumiko is still a very busy actress and after I saw her in a few episodes of the "Black Familia" drama knew I finally had to break down and do a few posts for her. She has a pair of movies coming out, the second one that will be released on July 26th is titled "Kaminofude: The Island of Monsters". Yumiko did have major roles in two older Godzilla films and her early movies are all worth checking out as she often had the lead role in them.



 Let's get to things and of course every photo for today will be brand new for here. Will begin off with these pics from Yumiko's IG page, these are from last November/December, she was 45 at the time and how many that age look as terrific as she does?















 For the longest time Yumiko did attend too many events to count, could devote many posts to them and did she look so fabulous at most of them! Could have picked any event for this post and couldn't have gone wrong with any of them. This overly sweltering set is from May 12, 2008 when she was promoting two new Toyota minivans though bet most eyes weren't on those!!!!












 On to Yumiko's magazine spreads and first off is one that just came last week for the June 18th issue of Flash, these days you won't see her do any more gravure spreads.




 How about another Flash spread and this one goes back a dozen years to their February 14, 2012 edition. Yumiko did appear in many mags up until 2015, she was 37 back then but still looked better than most women a decade younger.




 Those above two were on the small side but the other three for today are rather large. Plus Yumiko was the cover girl for all of them and this set is from the February 12, 2013 issue of Big Comic Spirits.









 Will be ending off with a pair of spreads from the WPB magazine. This first one to me is the best of today's spreads and is form their February 18, 2013 edition.












 It's kind of odd how these four older spreads all came out in February, final set for today is from the February 9, 2015 issue of WPB. This was Yumiko's last ever gravure spread and it was promoting her final digital book that came out at the end of December. This may be the only post for her mag spreads as it's so hard to get any prior to 2010. Will skip having a video as there's too many terrific ones of Yumiko on YT and couldn't decide on which to have but there is one in that above post.
