Mariko Shinoda: Young Jump #4-5 for January 22, 2016 scans

 Had this spread been released a few days ago then Mariko would have easily found a spot in my top ten, she was probably no lower than #12 at the time I made the list and just missed. She's been another of my faves who has been a bit too quiet, guess I could have posted a few more things about her this year but none of them were really fabulous things. As a matter of fact this is Mariko's first jaw-dropping spread in exactly a year and that last one was also a Young Jump spread for January. Just this one spread but it's a huge one at 37 pics, not all of them are new as some are greatest hits ones from her appearances in the mag over the years.

Mariko Shinoda: Young Jump #4-5 scans

 Mariko is still quite busy though she's been out of AKB for almost and year and a half now, we just don't see her appear in nearly as many mags though. It's been a while since she's been in one but that's okay for if we have to wait a while for spreads like I can live with that as this could be her finest spread ever, really have to say this is one of the most fantastic spreads for anyone. Just this one spread but it's huge with a total of 26 pics plus there's also a 2015 calendar which is quite impressive, as noted above this is from Young Jump #4-5 for 2015, enjoy as Mariko is simply breathtaking in these pics.
