Yuki Kashiwagi: A lead-in for her soon to be posted.... ultra sweltering "Experience" photobook....
Almost took today off but that would have been two in a row and hate to do that though at times it's unavoidable. There occasions when I could do posts but don't for I feel the time would be better spent on doing some 'pre-post' work and have never used that term before. It does take time to watch dramas and take screenshots, it also takes time to edit, crop, rename, etc. pics from a photobook. So the last two days have done that to a pair of books and have also begun working on two drama recaps. So there are times I am working on posts and you won't see the finished product for a few days. That happens often with many of the women I post about too, don't I moan quite a bit on where so and so has disappeared to? Many times they're off doing photo shoots for magazines, books or modeling site plus perhaps doing filming for a movie or drama. Sure many of you have viewed special features on your DVD's where they have behind the scenes segments, that'd be impossible for me to do so you could see what it takes to create a post though then again viewing it may make most of you nod off....
For today have a pair of 'quick-to-to-posts' though both are terrific, have never used that term before either. Both posts have a lot of photos but will try to not blabber on for too long, for me it's easier said than done! After almost four years without a post for Yuki this now makes it five in seven weeks, that gap was entirely my fault with some of the reason being 'out of sight, out of mind'. But least it's helped me out as far as doing posts go as there's many things since 2021 that haven't been posted. Been noticing Yuki is trying to set records for variety show appearances, it truly does seem she's appeared on one a day this month! In those previous four posts gave some info on her current activities and will be doing more of that in future posts. This is a lead in post for Yuki's third regular photobook "Experience" that was released on July 15, 2021 which was her 30th birthday. So have some mag spreads you've never seen that featured outtake pics from it, also some photos from the book and will end off with pics not from the book but ones all huge fans will savor!
WOWOWOW(!!), when I begin on my third 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list in exactly a year Yuki will have a spot on it, for the list done in 2018 she finished.... 21st, oooohhhhh!! Back in the Summer of 2021 there was still a lot of restrictions as far as being able to hold events. So Yuki couldn't hold one for her fans but instead did one of those virtual life events via YT, some pics of it below.
Will skip having outtake pics from the book as the magazine spreads will have them. So below are actual photos from the book and it was like the last book I posted where I had to crop the pages a bit as the photo only took up 85% of a page. Today is the 19th, how about doing the post on the 28th for the book(?) though there's an outside chance it could happen a day before.
On to the quartet of magazine spreads that promoted the photobook, will have much more info about the book such as sales, where the pics were taken and more in the book's post. Two of the spreads didn't feature Yuki as the cover girl so will start off with those, this first set is from the August 23rd issue of WPB and of course these are all from the year 2021.
Up second is this spread from the September 3rd edition of Friday. That bottom pic is so tremendous and deserves to be in some sort of Hall of Fame(!), then again Yuki does have so many more terrific photos that merit an honor.... how could one only choose their favorite hundred of her?!
For the last two spreads Yuki has the cover, this set is from the August 10th issue of Flash. As perfect as the above pic is the bottom one in this spread could top it!
Last up for magazine spreads to promote the photobook is this one from the August 5 issue of Young Jump. As many Yuki fans know have been doing a series for all of her spreads from the magazine, will take a mini break from it because of the upcoming photobook post but will start on it again in about a month.
Right after the pics is a video from the above spread and photobook, it's one you don't want to miss! Here's something I would love to see Yuki do again and will end off the post with these overly sweltering pics from Ravijour. They're a lingerie site, back in 2018 she appeared in their Autumn and Winter catalogs, gulp..... am too in awe to describe these beyond perfect photos.... gulp again....
