Sayaka Tomaru: Her scorching "Decade" photobook plus much more!
This is a bit of an odd post, do have close to a hundred new photos but in a way it's a smallish post or least it seems that way to me. Wanted to keep this streak alive of having at least one post a day for the month and will I make it? Usually take the final day of a month off so that means I need to have a post for the next six days and that's not as easy as it seems. Once again the weather has reminded us it's still the Winter season so I'm in kind of a blah state so hope I'm inspired to work on a few posts the next couple of days. After a long stretch with few posts for Sayaka this makes three in a month, her last post made that section for most popular posts of the past month so Sayaka still has some fans here.
Just thought of something which is that I've been doing posts for Sayaka since November 2017 so she was one of my first favorite gravure models. The thought was that her posts began almost 8 1/2 years ago, how many others were having posts back then and are still having them on a somewhat consistent basis? Very few is the answer, Akari from SKE was of course the first name that popped into my head, also still having many posts is Mai Shinuchi from Nogi. Perhaps you could throw the ex-Morning Musume member Mizuki into the group, if Risa from Keya hadn't retired her name would have made it a fivesome. So there's just four from 2017 who are still getting posts and there's something I had never noticed before which is that Sayaka and Mizuki were both born just a month apart in 1996 so of course that means both will be hitting the age of thirty this year. Last year may have been Sayaka's slowest since entering show biz back in 2014 but her activities have picked up a bit more steam the last three months, there's a good chance there will be two more posts in March.
I tend to overlook Sayaka more than any other favorite woman of mine which means her posts often have older things that had been missed. That'll be the case for today, the book and at least one of the magazine spreads have never been posted here before. In Sayaka's next post will have more info about her latest photobook that was released on January 28th, it was a 'Pairs Book' as it also features her younger sister Akari. Years ago the sisters also had a pair of digital books and some magazine spreads, will have some of those things in that next post. Along with some event pics and there was one held on February 1st to promote their new photobook.
It's kind of odd how in the post I did yesterday there was a terrific spread from a special Sunny Girl issue that came out last October 30th. In that special 'Sauna' edition Sayaka also had a spread and it may be her largest one yet as it had a whopping 21 pages! When you've posted about someone for over eight years of course you think they're quite attractive, have thought that way about Sayaka for that long stretch of time but when you look at these photos isn't she looking better than ever?!
Sayaka had the back cover for the above huge spread. Sayaka doesn't have the cover often enough but she did for this set from the December 31, 2024 issue of Flash. This spread was promoting her fourth regular photobook "10" and wasn't sure if it had been posted before.
The WPB magazine released today's photobook and it was to celebrate ten years of Sayaka being a gravure model. To promote the book this spread was in their July 8, 2024 edition.
On the the finale which is this sweltering WPB "Decade" book that came out on June 24, 2024. When Sayaka was eighteen in 2014 she did her first gravure photo shoot with the magazine but because of her being youngish never have posted that spread or her others from that era. This mini book contains 49 photos and after the pics is a short video to promote it, Sayaka was 27 in age for the photo shoot.
