Yui Ichikawa: Her prehistoric "Yuirus" photobook plus slightly more....

 

 It'd be impossible to ever do some sort of list for my all time favorite photos as there's too many thousands of them but in my mind do have a batch that would make the top 25 or even fifty. Such as that top pic and that's been such a fave of mine for close to fifteen years, can say the same about Yui! So this isn't one of those 'cleanup posts' as I have never posted this book before nor any of the other two mini batches of pics. Thought why not go all out and try to have as many Yui things as possible here as she still has a huge amount of fans but won't be having any pics that came out before this book which was August 2002. Do have a rule about a woman needing to be 22 in age before they get introduced, it had been 21 and before that twenty. Yui may have been a bit youngish in these pics but thought to myself does it really matter anymore as she is approaching 39 in age? The answer to that was NO and most of her gravure modeling was when she was between 16 and 22 in age. **** As said in the three previous posts have written many of these up as I may need to go on a hiatus to clear up my housing situation, But do have two more of these done though not too confident with things clearing up somewhat soon....

 But of course Yui's most revealing photos were from her final two photobooks that came out in 2011 and 2015, pics above are from the second book. So think this gets me all caught up with her older things and while I may go back to combine the posts for some older books this is is as far as ones that have never been posted. On February 10th Yui will be celebrating her 39th birthday(!) and I have been a fan of hers longer than any other Japanese woman. So on that date will have some sort of post as there was a terrific mag spread that came out five months ago but have never had a chance to post it. So will have that plus there has to be many other Yui things that have never been posted here such as event pics and cards, know there's also magazine spreads from two decades ago we've never seen but it's so difficult to get those these days.

 Just mentioned cards and here's a batch of them from 2003 or about six months after this book came out. Below are ten cards the Bomb magazine released in February 2003 and have dozens more of them, they are a bit small but Yui looks so darn alluring in most of them....

 Will have more of those Bomb cards coming up and not sure what they were from as she had no photobook or pictorial for the mag. Do have one older Yui magazine spread for today and as mentioned these are so hard to obtain these days though you can still get most photobooks, this set is from the May 2003 issue of BLT.

 Yui has appeared in the Young Jump magazine more than any other one and they also released most of the her older photobooks. Such as this one which was her fourth and was released in August 2002 with the title "Yuirus" and while not her steamiest it is a fine collection of pics which total 68. After them is a shortish Yui video from 2004, she does have many gravure videos on YT though over the years the amount there has shrunk.
