Natsuki Abe: Who better to end a month off with?!!!!

 

 Had gone five months without a Natsuki post but this makes it three in the last three weeks! Could have had a few posts for her in that long stretch of time but kept forgetting to do so, if you're among Natsuki's huge fan base here the next two months should be your best time of the year as there may be another five posts coming up! As far as gravure modeling goes Natsuki has not been busy doing that this year and there's been no new magazine spreads or digital books since March. But there were many older books from 2023/24 that I had missed and have been catching up with those this month. So there will be three more books coming up and have one to end this post plus have a super duper surprise coming up and there should be another post for her 27th birthday which takes place on October 6th.

 

 Thirteen to me is not an unlucky number and hopefully not for Natsuki either as she's now hit a Baker's dozen for posts! Added in her name to the list of labels that are on the right hand side and often wait until a woman has a dozen or more posts before adding that name in. But in a way Natsuki doesn't need her label listed as in that section for 'Most popular posts of the last thirty days' she always has a few posts there and has become the most popular woman here with you viewers. Natsuki has now qualified for the yearly faves list and there's been a few unexpected favorites of mine who have hit the five posts needed or have zoomed right past that number! At one time that list had more actresses than any other kind of women but since 2020 J-Pop Idols, current, or graduated, have monopolized the list. Also with a huge amount of positions on the list have been gravure models but the ones I post about tend to do many other activities than modeling though that hasn't been the case often enough with Natsuki.

 Talked about a 'huge surprise' above and not sure when I'll do the post for it, October 1st sounds like a good idea. That'll be for Natsuki's semi-unknown first photobook "I Am Natsuki" that was released in August 2022, have posted her second book "Pursuit" that came out in January 2025. Prior to that first book Natsuki had never done any gravure modeling and didn't do so again for another year!!!! That is shocking that there was such a gap and you would have thought magazines and publishers would have been beating a path to Natsuki's door to have her model for them! That's now ancient history and guess things did work out for Natsuki who in that year(mainly 2023) did do a lot of regular modeling such as for the Jewels site and a few other activities but nothing FT which has continued on until today. So will have that book soon, either in mid-September or have it the first post of October. As mentioned this is the final post for August as I always take off the final day of a month. To lead off September have a sizzling book for a current Nogi member and think the recent rumors about her are false, most fans appear to share that opinion.

 Have a little bit of many things for today and will end off with an oldish book though the photos are all new for here. Natsuki's last post was done just nine days ago so she hasn't had time to post many new pictures at her IG page, this is it for recent ones. But you will see in the first six that Natsuki is taking a vacation in London and she does speak English quite well. After graduating from college in 2019 Natsuki then went to London to study at an art school but left after a year due to the pandemic and it makes me wonder how different would her life have been if she could have remained there? Sure entirely different but then again the same could be said for hundreds of millions....

 For many models have been including many pictures from old gravure photo shoots as the pics are so terrific and most had never been posted. However Natsuki only had that one 2022 photobook and never did any more gravure modeling until the second half of 2023 so have posted most of those photos. But not many from her IG page and the pics look so fabulous thought why not include those in her posts? The batch below is mainly from 2022 but there's a few sprinkled in from 2023, that first one is my favorite and the bottom two are outtakes from that first photobook.

 Next month there will be two huge fashion shows in the 19th and 26th, Natsuki should be back from the UK then so hoping she'll make an appearance at one or both. In the past Natsuki has been at seven of those shows which have become much tamer over the years. However Natsuki certainly made us sit up and notice her at the March 2, 2025 Spring 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show.... whewwww....

 As I've said numerous times my favorite modeling pics have been the ones Natsuki did for the Jewels site, she was with them in 2023/24 but sadly is no longer there. My cache of photos that haven't been posted before is dwindling but most of the ones below are new for here and to me these are just as good as most model's gravure photos and often better.... especially those first four pictures!!!!

 No new magazine spreads for today but that's okay as I have this set from the September 3, 2024 issue of Flash so it's exactly two years old. This features outtake pics from today's book and it may be Natsuki's first time being the cover girl of a magazine.

 On to the finale which is this Flash digital book and also came out in September 2024, it's not a large one with just 52 photos but of course Natsuki is sweltering to the Nth degree! There was no video for this book so after the pictures have a video from August 2024 and for the WPB magazine, that video was also promoting a Natsuki book which has already been posted.
