If only paper could talk ….Ichikawa Yui’s latest shashinshuu release simply titled “Yui”, would be a tale of two books so to speak as while “they’re” housed within the same two hard cover walls, “Yui” is presented is presented through the lens of two different photographers as Yui~chan the gravure model vs. Yui~chan the sensual girl~next~door in every sense including overall production style, locations, lighting, wardrobes and of course hair & makeup styling are given a most lavish treatment throughout in two vastly different lights. ^^
And you most likely remember most vividly, Yui~chan’s previous photographic effort in “Origine” posted here a few years ago, which made quite the splash back then and so it was pretty inevitable that we’d see a follow up in that very vein of sensuality and sexiness from one of our favorite J~idols gone successful actress!
Originally released on March 10th of last year, “Yui” is approximately B5 sized, comes dressed in a outer dust jacket w/ obi and as aforementioned is a hard cover edition.
~Ichikawa Yui’s shashinshuu “Yui” can be ordered @ Cdjapan~

Quite a unique approach to a pictorial as likewise to its actual paper thickness and type going from its thicker~glossy first half to a second half which features a non-glossy but still high quality paper….the photography inside also goes through an abrupt change mid-book as the mood of photography, lighting, wardrobes and overall style changes from the bright vivid lights of a sleek sexiness which open the book ….to a distinctly warm girl next door atmosphere to close it out. Consider it the bright glossy lights vs. a much more “down to earth” candid style of photography …HOWEVER, be assured that Yui~chan’s alluring sex appeal and natural model~esque awesomeness remains most steady throughout both tales of this photo book!
So which side are you on?
Gravure sexy model?
..or a candid girl next door gone sensual?
So, if only paper could indeed talk….

Quite possibly the most sexy use contrast colors photography?

モーニングBerryz48...the morning after..... "Always wear protection before reading…(^q^)." 
Yui chan is very enticing in these nice blend of photos. I can’t believe she went full nude too! I’m impressed. She has a lot of confidence, it would seem, in her looks, and I think that really comes out in these photos especially.
Thank you for putting this in my brain now on permanent rotation for the next few weeks, for, um, you know, to remember how beautiful she looks. Yep. That’s why :).

You got that right. I was even turned on by that photo of her eating soup.

Sometimes you have to wonder how such people with this kind of magnificent physical beauty even exist in the world. I would SO not want to be her husband or boyfriend because it would be really difficult to wake up next to somebody that hot and feel good about yourself, unless of course, you are equally as hot, which I am most certainly not.
Okay, I’ll stop this comment from going any further before I start writing more rhyming couplets lol.

AWw however being HOT means so much more than what is skin deep. Like a guy’s charm, humor, confidence and caring side elevates him in so many ways much more than looks do. I think a lot of girls think this way after they’ve grown up and stop chasing after looks alone, albeit as Ms.Marilyn Monroe once said famously ….”You wouldn’t simply marry a girl because she’s beautiful, but it sure helps doesn’t it..:” or something to that regard. =) So consider it an added enticement of sorts as looks will have to eventually play the back seat to what really matters in a person, and now I will shut up ^^.

Did you see that issue of SOUP from not too long ago where Paruru was covergirl? OMG I was so sad that it was already sold out =(. Paruru & soup, my world would have been complete =P.

U~n Yui~chan sure went with racy for this PB, her previous “Origine” was sexy as well but not quite on this level of loss of clothing =P.

I totally agree that hot can be defined on many, many levels. And I’ve certainly met a bunch of girls in my life who lacked in the looks department but were extremely hot because of how funny they were, or how they handled things that came their way, or what they could do with their bodies that maybe a hot girl couldn’t or wouldn’t do. Simply because a hot girl might tend to be, um, more on the lazier side, when it comes to bedroom activities. But I agree with Marilyn that having somebody who is perfect sure could help…if you could handle that sort of situation. Me personally, not sure if I could or not. I’ve only ever been with perhaps one girl my whole life who was perfect looking, and that was both the most passionate and yet the most difficult relationship of my entire existence, easily.
Yui chan surprised me with her boldness…again, perfection personified going all out…it’s just so much for my eyes to deal with that it’s almost impossible to comprehend. This blog post by you really blew my mind. Amaaaaaazing stuff is to be found here.
And sadly, no, didn’t see the Paruru issue. I wish I did. It sounds awesome, and of course, it’s with a much beloved AKB member of yours! If you get this issue, post it okay? I can’t wait to see it.

“Couldn’t or wouldn’t do….” hey you’re beginning to concern me a little (・д・`*)！！Seriously though you have a very mature way of seeing things which is always good in a guy. HEY we’re not all lazy!! xD Just kidding I’m more like lukewarm (。ーωー。)♪ 。But one of my closest friends is hot, as in I’ve been friend~ed as a means to getting closer to her…. sneaky men! I’d say it’s much more coincidental for you in meeting girls with various aspects about them working or not with you including their looks. I’m sure the right girl is out there just waiting for you to meet her =).
Yui~chan’s pictorials have been rather few and far between so you just know if she’s releasing or appearing in something, it’s going to be memorable in some sense. I really like her as an actress in dramas, she’s appeared in quite a few that have been aired here locally in the past.
I missed out on that SOUP issue =( …. and here I call myself a Paruru~♥ fan (*>ω<) 。

Oh man, I’ve been in your position! I had a friend who was a super hot dude and so many girls would talk to me to get close to him. I guess I didn’t mind because it was fun to have so much female attention back then (This was many years ago), but then kind of sucks when said hot friend is making out with girls and you’ve suddenly become the third wheel in all its lumpy glory. Not so much fun then :(.
But the thing is, with you, I’m wondering if you had guys do the same thing to your friends to get close to you? You don’t consider yourself all kinds of hot, but we both know you are, so I just wonder if you were aware of anything like that happening to you? It’s an interesting thing to wonder, for me at least. I’m still convinced you had guys lined up wanting to date you. I don’t see how they couldn’t have been lol.
Yui chan needs to come out with another pictorial like today. She’s too sexy. I loved this one especially.
Oh, for me, I don’t believe so much in the right girl, since I am not sure I ever want to date anyone ever again or do anything like that. I more am interested in finding somebody someday who might just compliment me in my likes and dislikes and I can have a lot of fun with, and who I can trust. But a relationship element for me isn’t necessary anymore. It’s hard to have faith in them after everything I’ve been thru and still am going thru. But it’s no worries… I have AKB and my music and my writing my little one…so I really feel happy these days. I can’t complain, honestly 🙂
