Usa Hiiragi: A trio of dazzling magazine spreads and slightly more....

 


 As mentioned quite a few times over the last 2-3 years BababaBambi had become my favorite J-Pop group, they were never going to become stars but they put on such energetic concerts plus the members were so likable. That era has come to an end as their final concert will be on March 28th and they were around for six years so bet that may have been a longer career than most people expected, think two members can have an okay solo career but not sure about the other three. Hopefully can do at least one final group post for BabaBambi after the final show, they are scheduled to appear together in some upcoming magazines so perhaps that post can be done at the beginning of April and they are so close to reaching a hundred posts.



 Usa is a member who I think could have a decent solo career as she seems to be the most popular gal in BababaBambi. She's certainly popular here with you readers, this makes it a dozen solo posts for Usa and the previous eleven have an average of 1,250 posts per post which is quite impressive. These solo posts have come over the last three years, at the end of April Usa will be hitting the age of 23 and for those three years she's been the youngest woman I've done posts for. So perhaps I should have a new rule where Usa will always be the youngest so if someone is born after April 27, 2003 they'll never have a post! What a short group they are, Usa is 156 cm in height yet she's currently their second tallest member and for now don't know what's going to be in her future after the group's final show.



 This isn't too large of a post but do have fifty new photos for her and most are so terrific, a recent goal of mine was to have some smaller posts and for the most part that's been working out well. First off are these newish pictures from Usa's IG page, the sizzling first two are for a new digital book. The last few feature the other members of BababaBambi, one is the poster for their final ever show while the last is for a greatest hits CD coming out soon.


















 Maly Moon is a site that sells cosplaying outfits and uniforms of some under the radar J-Pop groups such as BababaBambi. The batch below have been posted before but bet most have forgotten all about them, a few include Mio 😍 who I miss so much and vow to have a post for her very soon. To say I've been ga-ga over her for over six years would be such an understatement and to the surprise of many Mio will easily make my 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list.











 Have even more Maly Moon uniform pics and the ones from this set are all brand new for here. The first pair will be Usa's final ones for the site, most of the others are outtakes from photo shoots.











 Now on to the trio of magazine spreads and all are brand new for here. Which makes sense as two have just come out which includes this set from the March 6th issue of Friday. It's promoting a new Usa digital book, she does have another that just came out so the posts for her should continue on for a while and hope that's the case for some other members.









 Have had this next spread for a few months but never had a chance to post it. This set is from the October 27th issue of WPB and doesn't Usa look much more grown up and also a bit vampy? She sure does so wish the spread was a bit larger, think one reason for Usa's popularity has been her slight innocence but would like to see more of her seductive side.









 Will end off with another March 6th spread and this set is from Young Gangan. It's also promoting another Usa digital book but for now don't know when it'll be released. After the pics is a short video for the above spread, it's not long enough but could be her top gravure video to date.
