Nene Shida: Her heavenly and beyond sizzling third photobook.... "Cantabile" scans

 


 That top pic is the book's cover but it's a 'clean version' and after all these years she continues to amaze me to no end!!!! Usually wait three months before posting an Idol photobook as they do sell much better than the ones for gravure models. So for them will often only wait two months but if possible do try to wait until three months has elapsed. This book came out on Valentine's Day or two months ago, had wanted to wait a bit longer. But on March 15th a second version of this book was released and that's a digital book. So I didn't want to wait too long before posting that book so thought will have this one now and in about a month the other version which contains entirely different photos. If a gravure model is an ex-J-Pop Idol sometimes those books sell well but not too often for long time(?) gravure models.

 You could say Nene is somewhat of a 'long time' model as she has been doing this kind of work for five years. But she also does a lot of acting, has been a reporter for two variety shows, does a bit of regular modeling plus three years ago did graduate from college so she is one busy woman. Nene's second photobook came out in September 2023, if you went by the charts it didn't sell a huge amount of copies and think at the time the sales were around 5,000 sold. Which means the charts don't count some sales as there were three reprints so it had to be a popular book, this book recently just had it's first reprinting. But in it's first two weeks out the book sold just 3,200 copies so maybe the book sales at certain sites aren't counted nor at events for Nene did have one of those. 



 Those two above weren't in the book and were just outtakes, how can that second photo not be in the book?! This makes it a dozen posts already for Nene since the 'Nao Year' began on December 1st, that's more than any women plus she's had more post than anyone since her first was done in December 2020. Nene is my all time favorite gravure model and the margin over everyone else keeps growing, she's always looked perfect in my eyes but somehow more so these days! Nene has finished in the second and third positions on the yearly faves, as of now would place her to be #1 for 2025 but there's still eight months to go until my Queen for the year is revealed. This is Nene's third regular book, she must have fifty digital ones and it's surprising no one has grown weary of Nene after all these posts, know I never could! The photo shoots took place in two locations, one was the Goto islands which is off the coast of Nagasaki. The second place was Taiwan and most of pics in the second version are from that location. This book contains 107 photos and I don't know how she does it but somehow Nene is looking even better these days and how?!?! After the sizzling pics is a short promo video for the book, there was also a DVD released and we truly do need more adjectives created to describe Nene's 😍 perfection....
