Waka Inoue: Her epic third photobook.... "Wakashibori"

 

 Have been enjoying doing these posts for my older faves and in a bit of a surprise most of the posts have drawn a solid amount of views. Especially the ones for Yumiko but think I can do only one more post for her, have been doing a few for Chisato lately and will do another post next week. In the past have had these kinds of posts but not as many as there has been this year, just want to do posts for those women who were among my first ever faves but it is getting more difficult to do. But what has helped is that so many of my fave actresses also had many gravure photobooks and pictorials, that doesn't happen as often these days. Am wondering should I give this series some sort of name, any suggestions would be appreciated and would like to use the word Classic in the title.

 Bet many know who Waka is and she's yet another woman who is over forty in age but when I first noticed many of these 'older women' most were still in their twenties or were that age in the dramas/movies I saw them in. Of course it's easy to see why Waka was so popular back in the 2000's and early 2010's but she has much more than a stunning figure. To me she is such a classy woman plus Waka is a very talented actress but doesn't do as much acting as she once did, she appeared in so many dramas. Waka hit the age of 44 in May and shortly after gave birth to her second child so we may not be hearing as much of her for a while. **** Which is why these kinds of posts are quite good for so many women I once liked immensely have been forgotten about over time and it's nice to keep their memory alive for a few posts, think all will be enjoying her future posts but as of now have no idea how many of these there will be.

 Do recommend checking out the older dramas where Waka had a large role, she really is an excellent actress and think at times when an actress is so attractive many think she isn't all that talented. That could be much more true these days but not in the older days of decades past when Idols didn't appear in so many dramas. Will have more bio info in Waka's future posts and may even recap a series of hers titled "Soko wo Nantoka" which also stars Yuika who actually had the lead role. Never did finish the drama and can't remember why, keep saying it'll be started again soon but it never seems to happen! "Wakashibori" is Waka's third of five photobooks, it was released in May 2004 for her 24th birthday. This book contains 74 pics and doesn't Waka look so seductive? She sure does to me and I also think books from twenty years ago were better even though they were smaller.
