Hiyori Hamagishi: Her crème de la crème "Moshimo" photobook scans!!!!

 

 If I do too much gushing about this photobook it can't be helped as it's the best one I've seen in a few years and just may already be in my top ten of all time! Have done two previous lists of my all time favorite books, one list had ten and the other sixteen. However that second one was done over three years ago so isn't it time for an updated list? Sounds like a terrific plan to me and one list that has never been done though I have talked about it often is having one for my top '46' books. That would consist of the books from Hina, Keya and Nogi, bet I've posted eighty books from the members so you know that would be a hard list to rank and wouldn't include any solo books.

 As far as books from when an Idol was with their group my #1 of all time is of Nogi's current captain Minami and her flawless 2020 book, as a matter of fact that's also my top photobook of all time. It may sound shocking to many though not if you've read her posts or viewed the book but my second all time Idol book is Nana Yamada's second and we need new superlatives for that collection of pics! And what also may sound a bit shocking is that this book is almost as magnificent, knew this book would be but not at the level it's at and it just may be my top book since 2020! Hiyori's previous six posts were never all that popular but if you read them you know how highly I thought of her and how I yearned to see her have a book. So my wish was answered, knew Hiyori was so ultra attractive but never realized how alluring she could be and what a shame this was a graduation book. Had it come out in 2023 then perhaps Hiyori would have become more popular with Hina's fans though sure she was still well liked, there may not be many if any but will do posts in the future for her if she remains in show biz.

 Hiyori's graduation concert took place on December 5th in Fukuoka and she came from the area, she also had the honor of having the first post of 2025!!!! Hiyori did keep busy while with Hina but after the dozen or so fourth generation members came aboard she and many of her mates weren't nearly as busy which is why there were four graduations near the end of 2024 and also four more are coming up. That's eight members to leave in such a short amount of time and I am so tired of this high turnover in J-Pop groups which is why I'm not the fan I used to be. With Hiyori's stunning looks(to me!) she did model for two magazines, appeared at most of those huge fashion shows and also had an important role in the "Borderless" drama plus did a stage play outside of Hina. 

 So I don't know what the future holds for her yet but it's only been less than three months since her departure from Hina and how I hope she gets some decent breaks in the future. That's because I really, really like Hiyori 😍 which I did say often in her six solo posts and she must have had a few hundred pics in group posts. At a tad over 167 cm in height she's Hina's second tallest member ever and is still young as her 23rd birthday won't be taking place until September. Let's finally get to the stupendous book which has 137 pages and is truly beyond perfect, to me even the non-gravure pics are steamy to the Nth degree! The photo shoot took place on the island of Saipan, first time I can recall someone going there for a photobook. The book was released on December 3rd, two days later her grad concert took place, and sales are a little over 25,000 copies sold which isn't too high but then again it's not too bad considering she wasn't one of Hina's stars. However Hiyori may have been had this stunning set of photos come out a year or so before, she looks so utterly perfect in this collection of pics and this is the kind of book which may grow on me even more so it may end up being my #1 of all time!!!!
