Photobooks

Sugaya Risako
Risako's 4th photobook 'Risou' was released on 27 November.





It still amazes me how mature Risako can look!
But then in the sunflower pictures she is able to go back and look like a little kid!


Nakajima Saki
Nacky's first photobook 'Nacky' was released on 9 December.






Although I didn't like the front cover, there are some really nice pictures in her photobook (from what I've seen.) Especially love that picture of her in the long white dress on the grass with sprinklers going off in the background.


Ishikawa Rika
The cover of Ishikawa Rika's tenth photobook has been released!
It is titled '24 Twenty Four'

Boobies!!

Release date: 24 December

Yaguchi Mari


I'm not really a Yaguchi fan, but I think this cover is kinda cute!
It is the cover for Yaguchi Mari to Straw Hat’s single 'Kaze o Sagashite' which was used as an opening/ending theme for popular anime One Piece.

'Yaguchi Mari to Straw Hat' is the name of the Hexagon family unit, which features Yaguchi as the main singer.

Release date: 13 January

Damn! I hope that's it!!...
Yeah, I know ManoVegetable has heaps of stuff coming out, but I'm sick of seeing her vegetable face. So no posts for her! LOL!

Btw... the new Morning Musume group artist picture is totally freaking me out... It looks SO ODD...
I can't stop staring at Sayumi in the middle and it's blowing my mind! Sayumi can't be centre! It's just so messed up!! I didn't think Koharu leaving would make much difference, but it totally does! That picture doesn't look right at all!

Okay, so now I'll list some of the upcoming posts I have to do.
• Kusumi Koharu's graduation memorial picspam post
• Berryz Koubou's concert image collection (featuring Miya's new hair)
• Still working on a Buono! history post... Now I have to add the new Bravo☆Bravo pics to it!
• Christmas picspam!

LOLOL, so much picspam to look forward to!
