Nanaka Suwa: Her angelic first photobook.... "𝑡𝒂𝒏𝒂𝒄𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒕" scans....

 


 An odd thought came into my head about two minutes ago, seems these oddities have been increasing! Voice acting groups/troupes spend so much time together, not just doing the voices for many TV animes but also have musical careers. Meaning the voice actress groups sing the theme songs to their shows plus release albums and singles which are often very popular and they perform at many concerts which I have found to be so much more enjoyable than the shows for J-Pop groups. So in a way voice actresses are very similar to J-Poppers but there is one major difference and never noticed it until now. I tend to follow the bigger voice acting groups such as Aqours and Liella! who each have about ten members, there's also many other smaller groups. Took a while to get to my point and that's being how come you never see any voice actresses graduate from their groups?

 Sure it's happened but I can't recall any for the two groups mentioned or a few others I know about, so what makes these musical groups different than popular J-Pop groups such as Nogi or AKB? The turnover rates for groups these days is sickening, the members come and go at such a fast rate I know so few who are in groups these days! The gals in voice acting troupes tend to be a few years older, do they stay because they're more mature and can work better with others? Are the salaries better for actresses compared to Idols and on that point would say yes, also to actresses being more mature and work better as a team. Have no clue why I suddenly thought of that and probably because this is a post for a voice actress, I really like that genre of women. If you have any thoughts about what I just blabbered on about you could leave your own opinion, be nice to hear from more of you. These posts for voice actress photobooks are winding down and it's not as if there was a massive amount I had, perhaps a dozen. Would like to do more regular posts for members or even group posts but that hasn't been possible lately and will have one more Nanaka book coming up soon.



 Went in the wrong order for Nanaka's photobooks, posted her second one first and did make a comment about that in the post. Should have held back on publishing that post and do this book first but in the end run does it matter? Nanako's second photobook came out in 2020, this one was released on November 2, 2018 and book #3 came out in 2022. The three books are a trilogy which Nanaka dubbed "Suwa Wonderland" and if you look at this book and then the other one that has been posted you can see how similar they are yet entirely different. The first two books, possibly the third also, were published by Seiyuu Grand Prix which is a popular voice actress magazine. The books featured outtake pics from Nanaka's many spreads, when photo shoots took place some were for a magazine spread and the others were for the photobooks. Of course there's no gravure pics in the books and I think that's a plus as Nanaka looks so darn terrific as it's nice looking at pics such as the ones she's clad as a Dutch woman. In one of the Sentai series I recapped the team of heroes went to a park near Nagasaki whose theme was of the Netherlands. I immediately thought that when I saw her with tulips and in the background windmills, in a way those pics were more interesting than an Idol dressed skimpy at a beach. This book contains 95 photos and the pics get a grade of A++++ from me, Nanaka is one attractive woman who is about to celebrate her 31st birthday. That will be on November 2nd so that may be a good time for her third book and will also try to have some different things in that post, with any luck maybe a separate post can be done for Nanaka's birthday and will be working on that. This book was released in her 24th birthday but she was 23 in age for the photo shoots.
