Tomi: Her soon to be legendary "Dolce" digital book and slightly more....

 


 Only three posts for Tomi in 2025 but they were in the second half of the year, this is her third in the past month so that makes it six posts in about eight months. Nice to see her return, did a fair amount of posts from 2019 to 2022 but very few the next few years and not entirely sure why that was. After today have two more recent digital books so Tomi may have a pair posts for May and that'll mean for the first time in four years she'll qualify for the fave's list. It often happens that it goes back and forth as far as being eligible goes, one year a woman may qualify and the next they don't which may go on for a few years. But it doesn't happen often when someone hasn't been eligible for a four year span and makes a triumphant return, that did happen with an ex-SKE member in 2022 but it's not too common.



 Don't think this will be too large of a post as there may be only three sections. But do have 78 new photos and also an encore viewing of a newish Tomi magazine spread which brings the total up to a hundred pics and whewwww(!), most are simply sizzling! Tomi was in the #2i2 J-Pop group and after five or so years together disbanded in December. They were a decent group who were so energetic in concert but were never going to be stars. To me Tomi didn't need the group and I had wondered in a few of her posts if the group may have been holding her back? Not totally positive but think they were to an extent and over the last four months Tomi's gravure modeling has really increased, besides the pair of digital books you'll be seeing next month she also has two new magazine spreads.



 As I often do for most posts will begin off with some newish photos from her IG page but there's not so many as Tomi's last post was just thirteen days ago. I really like that top pic and the third one down is of Tomi holding the next issue of WPB and she'll be their cover girl. Plus the WPB magazine is releasing her first ever gravure DVD, the photos for that are the two bottom ones and glad to see that for she has such a lack of gravure videos. There will be an event for it but don't know if it's for everyone or just her fan club which is kind of new.











 Oh well, let me add in one smallish thing and seeing as how I just mentioned Tomi's fan club here are some 2025 photos from the site which leave me speechless.... gulp....











 For the digital book Tomi was the cover girl for volume 19 of Dolce which came out in December. Tomi was also the cover girl for their first issue and this is such a huge spread it's almost the size of a mini book, the bottom five or so pics are from the photo shoot.
























 To end things off have the Dolce digital book that has the title of "Give me a big hug from behind" and she doesn't need to ask any of us twice to do that! There's 67 photos in this book that was released on December 16th, as you can see Tomi was celebrating Christmas and does she remember it's better to give than receive?! Couldn't find a video for this book so after have a promo one for the DVD mentioned above and how I wish it was longer! Speaking of long(er) I've been following Tomi for about seven years and it was right after she hit the age of twenty, this past February she celebrated her 27th birthday and so hard to believe how close she is to thirty!
