Yumiko Shaku: Her slightly coquettish 'YSVW' #26 pictorial scans

 


 Digital Books was a term you didn't see too often until five years ago, before that Pictorials was the word used but they mean the same thing. Where it's a set of photos not published as a book or magazine but you have to buy them at at a site, not sure why the term changed. These kinds of pictorials were very common up until about 2014 then they semi-disappeared for the next 4-5 years. That's when digital books began to appear much more frequently and though there's really no difference with the photos think I may prefer these older sets. And have had plenty of them for Yumiko over the last five or so months, nine to be exact plus one post with a variety of things. But these posts will soon be winding down for Yumiko as there isn't an endless supply of them and it was nice to see she does have many fans here.

 One other nice thing is that after so many years I finally got around to posting about Yumiko who truly is one of my all time favorite women. Was thinking of having another of those 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list in two years and now that Yumiko is back in my mind see no reason she wouldn't be on that list. If I was older and had started this blog about ten years earlier Yumiko would have been #1 on just about every kind of list up until 2012 and though she's now 46 in age still looks so darn terrific! So am thinking there will be one more photobook coming up but need some time to work in it and also have another pictorial book though it's not too large, hopefully at least two more posts. Plus I will be recapping Yumiko's older "Sky High" drama which she had the lead role in, she also was the star of the movie it was based on. On to the books and YSVW was a series that mainly featured actresses and think they're like many older series as they went defunct a decade or so ago. This set is 22 years old(!) as it was released in October 2002 when Yumiko was 24 in age, not as revealing as her previous books but she still looks beyond perfect to me. Photos for these sets were also smaller in size compared to the ones there days.
