Nashiko Momotsuki: A little bit of this and that....

 


 This is the first post for Nashiko in 3 1/2 months and the last few years that has become a bit common for her. Last year Nashiko went four months without a post which was sadly a record for her. She still has ten or so posts a year but how they come about has changed since 2021. She used to have about a post a month but the last three years seems there's been four posts in two months and then zero for the next two as they have become so sporadic which means her activities have also.



 Her lead has been dwindling but Nashiko still has more posts than any other gravure model here though she does many other kinds of activities. In early November she will be hitting the age of 29 and while she looks as good as ever how much longer will she continue gravure modeling? Hopefully for a while as I prefer doing posts for older woman and can't think of any current model that's thirty or older who has posts these days. This makes it six 2024 posts for Nashiko so for the fifth time she's qualified for the yearly faves list. She's made the list three times but not last year as that four month gap with no posts was too much for her or really anyone to overcome. Fourteen have qualified for the 2024 list and hope it gets to over twenty, next month will be having some sort of post about the fave's list.



 Did say her posts have been so sporadic the last three years but this is a good sign for when there's one post very often 2-3 follow it. First up are these new pics from her IG page, the first two are from the next issue of WPB as Nashiko will be their cover girl so that's why her next post shouldn't be too far in the future, the third and fourth pics are from an EX-Taishu photo shoot.















 Nashiko had a biggish role in the 2020 series "Mashin Sentai" where she played the role of Yodonna and that character proved to be popular. That's because there's been five spinoff mini TV specials of Yodonna and have recapped the first four. The fifth which was titled "The Final" aired on March 3rd but unlike the others not going to have a regular sized recap. Just don't have enough time but did view the special and took some screenshots which are below. The mini movie did feature a few others from the Familia agency which Nashiko's a part of and you may recognize a few faces. Yodonna had been an assistant to the Emperor Yodon in the TV series whose army had battled the superheroes Mashin.

 But at the end of the series Yodonna had been killed by the Emperor but could come back to life as a human. Though only if Yodonna could become more like Earthlings and the thing that was her biggest challenge was acquiring and understanding human emotions. So that had been the ongoing story and was too in this final special but if it's popular why stop? But the specials have been so much more than just Yodonna understanding human, she's such a vicious fighter and along the way has saved many lives. In this final show Yodonna was trying to understand what compassion meant and got hoodwinked into helping a trio hold up a bank! These women at first appeared to be so cruel but all had been used and taken advantage of many men in the past which is why they turned to crime. Yodonna can understand them as she too has been used by men in the World of the Dead where she came from and in this show did help the group of women get their revenge! Some screenshots below of the action and do recommend checking out the previous recaps as this was a decent set of specials and wonder why they didn't make this into a regular TV series?























 The only other things for today are a pair of new magazine spreads but both are superb and know of at least two spreads more coming out. It's very rare when Nashiko isn't the cover girl for the magazines she appears in, she has that honor for both of today's sets with this first one being from the July 15th issue of Young Magazine.









 Will end off with this larger spread which is from the August issue of Young King Bull and bet Nashiko has been their cover girl at least five times. This spread has a video on YT but will have one instead for the above spread as it's much longer and it's after the pics. Nashiko has her own YT channel but hasn't uploaded enough videos but she did for the Young Magazine photo shoot which took place on the island of Okinawa.
