Yui Ichikawa: Her phenomenal.... "Pin-Up" photobook scans!!!!

 


 When I first started this blog in 2011 for the first 1 1/2 years often linked the pictures in a post to my Photobucket page and not sure why. But as all who had an account there know after a while they began to charge users and by 2015 or so the photos in a post had their logo on it which meant the photos were mainly unviewable. Slowly have been going back and been doing some of the posts over, usually for the more popular women or posts. This is one of those posts and do have most of them done but have said I have been in a nostalgic period the last few months so in a way am quite happy that this and one other post of hers needed to be done again.

 Have said how Yumiko may have been my #1 woman up until 2012 or somewhere around there but upon further reflection no one topped Yui! It's easy to forget about some old favorites and have at times done that with Yui, not sure why as I do still have such a massive picture folder of hers. Back in the 2000s so many actresses also did gravure photo shoots and in my eyes no one was more desirable or hotter than Yui!!!! She's also a decent actress and have seen her with regular roles in eleven dramas and nine movies. That's a high total and not many other actresses can top that amount of things I've seen someone in though Yui's acting as slowed down the last few years and have only seen her do a few guest appearances. So even though Yui's activities have slowed down quite a bit back in 2018 when I did my first ever 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list she still finished in the twelfth position!



 Like so many of my older faves Yui did get married though not until the age of thirty, she now has two boys which is why she doesn't act full time. Have said it so often which is that doesn't time zoom right by? In fifteen months Yui will be hitting the age of forty(!) and and what a long career she's had, think next year she will be celebrating her 25th anniversary in show biz. So after this have at least one more Yui photobook coming up and have already deleted that older post, explained why above. Yui is popular with you viewers and what a shame we'll probably never see any more gravure photos from her but bet she had more than any other actress. She could be the best example of someone who transitioned so well from a gravure model to an actress. "Pin-Up" was Yui's fifth photobook, she's had an even dozen along with a few on-line pictorials. This set contains 77 beyond mesmerizing photos and will be back in about a week with her sixth book.
