Sure most if not all of you thought you would never see Nanami lead off another post and can't blame you for thinking that way. But almost every time you visit this blog about halfway down on the right hand side is one photo of her with the heading 'Has anyone even been missed more....' and those words are sadly so true. For if things had turned out differently she was in line to be my #1 woman of all time, more on that and Nanami a bit further down. Yesterday did a repost for Nanase's first photobook that came out on February 2015, it was also the first solo book for a member. Have been slowly working on a project to clean up some photobook posts done between 2012-16, am getting close to finishing it. In yesterday's post said there was one more member to go and was going to do that post today but let me put that on hold for another two weeks.
Hard to explain why but the photo right above with Nanami 😍 clad in white could be my favorite one of hers, all pics don't need to be gravure ones to be stupendous! So am putting that final member book on hold for a while as I decided to do a repost of Nogi's first ever group photobook which was released in October 2013. However that wasn't their first group book, it was their first regular photobook but a year before they had released this YS-Web #521 book, that's a web site which I don't think is active these days but in their prime had so many of my favorites featured in one of their books. So decided to clean this book up first as it is a bit historical and it was another one where I had two posts when one would have been enough. Between these posts they only received 2,200 views and that is such a low number for Nogi. So bet many fans had never knew this existed and that makes sense as it's thirteen years old! For today combined the two posts and put the photos in a better order, there were two batches of pics released back in 2012, in September 24 pics came out and in October seventy more but merged the two together and wonder if there's any other of these I could get to?
Another of one of my all time favorite non-gravure pics is right above and of course that's Erika! It's been so hard doing posts for most of the first generation members these days save for one, Erika will be hitting the age of 29 in exactly two months so that gives me time to perhaps work on a long overdue post for Erika. Will have three sections from this book, the third will have two subsections as they're solo photos of eight members. The first two sets are of the gals as a group but you will notice only half of Nogi are in the two sets. At the time the group consisted of sixteen first generation members but this pictorial only included half of them and couldn't give you one reason why. You can see who the eight are in the top pics though a bit further down in this batch are pictures of the other eight, they didn't have their own pictorial as I checked many times back then and again today. More details about things after this first set which contains 22 photos.
Running out of time and this took a little longer than expected so will have the other seven members from this pictorial below. There was also a few smaller sets at a year later but they don't need to be reposted but then again bet most, like me, have forgotten all about them. In a row the other seven members who were in the YS-Web book were team captain Reika, she's followed by Sayuri M. and Erika. The final four are Minami, Rina, Nanase who has the post below this one and Mai who also has a few other scorching photos after her set. Have promised to revive Mai for a few posts which I haven't done, let me make another attempt at some but it's unknown if there are enough things from the past year or so for some posts. I have the four videos that came from the photo shoot on my computer but they've been deleted from YT so no videos for this post but there are over 110 photos,
