Welcome to this Baka's blog on his fave Japanese Pop Culture interests.
Welcome to my humble site....
Hajimemashite minna san....welcome to my site on my fave Japanese Pop Culture likes such as dramas, movies, magazine scans, promo events etc. Mainly concentrate on my faves...Yui Kobayashi... Miku Tanaka... Nagi Inoue....Maria Makino.... Nene Shida....if you're a fan at all of any of them then you've come to the rightplace(!) but many others are featured here besides them. Do mainly quick reviews on things I've watched, try to make the reviews brief, quick to read through with not too many spoilers, just whether they're good or bad and why I thought so plus whether you may find them enjoyable. Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available. Hope you find something that interests you, don't hesitate to comment, arigato gozaimasu!
Two posts in a row for a massive favorite celebrating birthday #27 and until a few minutes didn't realize their birthdays were only six days apart. The belated part in the title is that Yuzuha hit the age of 27 exactly a week ago but had done a post a few days before the 17th so wanted to wait a bit longer. Plus this is her sixth post since September 1st which is quite a pace, a few others have done so in the past but don't think their posts were nearly as huge.... or sweltering! But today's may be a bit smaller as there's only been thirty new photos since Yuzuha's last post but will have a digital book plus may add in a few other things so once again looks like I won't be able to have a medium sized post. Know that there's fewer posts done the last two years compared to the period of 2018-23 but when you add up how many photos are in posts these days are there actually more combined things these days in posts over years when there may have been 200 more posts(?), hope that made a bit of sense....
This now makes it nineteen posts for Yuzuha this year, I expect her to have two more in November so she'll end the 'Nao Year' off with 21 of them. Perhaps I could do one or even two more but who knows if Yuzuha will still be busy a few months from now so will be holding back some things over the next two months to make sure these posts stretch well into 2027. So Yuzuha 😍 will be number one this year as far as posts go and she'll also be my #1 Queen of the year! She just hasn't edged out the other women but Yuzuha has zoomed so far in front of everyone else and I'm glad it's happening for she's been such a massive favorite of mine since her first post that was done in February 2023. Coming into this year had only done fourteen posts for Yuzuha 😍 but finding that four leaf clover made my wish come true..... well, as far as posts go and need to find another for that steamy wish in my imagination to happen....
Let's jump right into things, want to wrap this up quickly as I'd like to have one more of those 'My Current Watches" posts done by the end of the month and have barely worked on the third one for October. First off are these recent photos from Yuzuha's IG page, as you can see many are for promoting her first regular photobook. Three other pictures are from the "King's Brunch" variety show, Yuzuha has been a reporter for them since April 2022 and she also recently had her first leading role in a streaming drama.
Went back a few years and these were the only birthday photos I could find which is odd for Yuzuha is someone who post many photos at her IG page. A few months back Yuzuha opened a fan club and think in another week or so she'll be having a birthday bash for the members.
Yuzuha's first official photobook "On the way to being Myself" was released on October 15th, that was two days before her 27th birthday. To celebrate the two occasions there was an event on the 17th at the Tower store in Shibuya, this was the first time I've seen Yuzuha at an event and think another will be held in the first week of November.
There hasn't been a huge amount of advance pictures to promote the book and that's a wise decision as often too many are released and because of that why buy the book? Below are some promo pics for the book and most have been posted but four are new, the first two are the covers and that bottom photo has left me a bit speechless.... happens often with Yuzuha photos.....
Will make this a semi-medium sized post and end off here with one of six digital books I have of Yuzuha that need to be posted, have already had ten of them for 2026. This year has been Yuzuha's busiest for gravure modeling and hope that doesn't slow down now that her photobook has been released. Of the six Yuzuha books three are from this year plus will be getting another very soon, the other three books came out prior to this year. This final sizzling set is one of those older books that has 53 dazzling photos which was released last December 22nd by the WPB magazine, there was no magazine spread to promote it and that's become too common these days. After the pics is a short video from the photo shoot, the title of this book is "Much More" and how much more can Yuzuha give us..... well, a few things have popped into my tiny brain....
