Asakawa Nana Special Photobook in Young Gangan 2016 no. 14

As promised, here is the special photobook of the lovely Asakawa Nana. You know, I really like her smile. I know this is probably not what you were expecting, but Naapon’s smile was the thing that first caught my eye with her …

Tsugunaga Momoko – the Last Photobook previews

You should be aware by now that Tsugunaga Momoko, the longtime Hello! Project presence, Berryz Koubou member, and Country Girls playing manager, graduates from H!P and the public eye on June 30, 2017. Post-graduation plans for the idol include a career in education (just think about Momochi with kindergartners …). But, before she makes her way to the Idol Hall of Fame, she graces us with one last photobook: “Momochi”.

And, here are the previews (presumably from FLASH March 7, 2017 and UTB April 2017, both linked below)

Cheeky Parade “CPGB – Cheeky Parade Gallery Bomb”

Sharing with you : photos of Cheeky Parades visual book “CPGB – Cheeky Parade Gallery Bomb” which documents their trip to New York in 2014. These aren’t professional scans. Me + Cheeky Parade + iPhone = preview post. I don’t know how much you’ll mind- I don’t see any scans of this book anywhere.

Hopefully these photos will entice you to attend Cheeky Parade’s visit to Los Angeles on October 16-18. I see three dates: October 16 at UTB Hall in Hollywood, and October 17-18 at Japan Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center. More information.

Sasaki Rikako “Rikako” [Photobook]

You know, I’ve been a fan of Sasaki Rikako since a bit before her days as a Hello! Project trainee. Her story as a refugee of the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and floods is staggering. The story becomes more insane when you find out Rikako became an idol (in the local group SCK Girls) because her parents wanted singing and dancing to cheer her up from the lose of her family’s house and fishery.

Well, none of her rise to fame wouldn’t be possible if she wasn’t so darn cute.

Rejoice! Fukumura Mizuki completed one of the last rite’s of passage into adulthood by successfully completing high school. High school is a tough road for everybody, and it must be especially so for someone with a busy idol schedule like Fuku-chan. We can all celebrate Fuku-leader’s high school diploma with a nice set of

Michishige Sayumi Last Photobook preview

OK, this is probably irresponsible of me, but I cam across some Sayumi pictures that were too hot to handle. I can only assume that these are preview pictures from her upcoming final (Morning Musume) photobook.
