It's unfortunate that I didn't manage to blog about all 3 of Koharu's PB before her 17th birthday. (Yes I know that was a long time ago but I forgot that I had this entry saved as a draft till now ^^;) Nevertheless, I wished her a very happy sweet seventeen that day :P I wonder if she had a big prawn fest to celebrate seeing how she loves her tempuras xD
So here comes the top 10 pics list of her first PB. After which I would have completed all 4 of hers ^^
This PB is simply titled Kusumi Koharu久住小春 released on 24 march 2006. That seems a long time ago doesn't it.
The Cover
10th
From this pic alone, I'm sure noone would have realized she was still a kiddo then. The miracle does have a soomewhat mature face.
9th
Kawaii~ I love how big and black her eyes are. The look of pure innocence ^^
8th
Here her hair and eyes look a little brown. Probably because of the lighting. She seems a little melancholic *sniff*
7th
1, 2 stretch! Reach for your toes! Full of youthful energy. I love her smile :D
6th
Up till now I still think that Koha has one of the flattest tummys in MM. How does she do it?
5th
Again with the cute smile. She has this knack of being so innocent in pictures. Who would have known she was such a crackhead at heart? XD
4th
Black and white photos never fails to draw me. The outfit was woah cuz well, she was a kid ^^;
3rd
I think the feel of this pic explains why I like it. You don't get it? Neither do I. I just like it :P
2nd
After going through this list, I finally realize why I like Koharu. She gives off this vibe that she's always happy and that grin of her just makes me smile every time I see it :)
1st
This collage of pics is the best imo because they resemble candid shots where the whole arrangement makes it look like it was thrown together haphazardly. Yet it's still beautiful. An organized mess really (^_^)
Okay, let's see if I can finish blogging about all three of Koharu's PB within the hour. I'm really fighting against time here *whips out weapons :P* POP was released on 20 September 2007. Before you go @@ at the title of the PB, don't. Cuz I already did when I first heard about it XD I still don't know what's the rational behind it and I don't think I wanna know :D
There is an hour long DVD sold separately for this PB. It's her second one btw.
The Cover
The book was shot in sunny Guam if I recall correctly.
10th
I was laughing when I saw this. Since I included a back shot in the Koharu Nikki post, why not here too eh?
9th
Her eyes scare me somewhat but I couldn't resist the cute neko ears ('',)
8th
Salior uniform? Check. Cute smile? Check.
7th
It's the smile. She looks like she's really enjoying herself. As a fan, I really hope that the girls can be truly happy.
6th
Koharu looks like a little kid here. Not that she isn't one cuz she is. This is another one of those pics where I fall in love with her smile. She looks like she doesn't have a care in the world. And that is how things should be.
5th
Awww, thank you for offering to share your ice cream with me ^^
4th
The way she is slightly puffing up her cheek is so cute although the lighting is a little eerie :P
3rd
More adorable neko ears!!! For some reason I can see Koharu as a girl who has lived in a country other than Japan. She gives off the vibe of being able to understand Spanish? Weird huh?
2nd
The yellow color is really striking and seeing Koha beaming so widely makes me feel just as happy as she is. Ahhh, the wonders of youth.
1st
Hanabi...lalala... *insert Sayumi solo PV from the Best Shot 16 DVD xD* Japanese girls wearing the Yukata is always a lovely sight. And in this case, she looks absolutely beautiful <3
Happy birthday to Koharu!!! Even though it's still 3 days early but what the heck, better early than late right? :P
Koharu Nikki「小春日記。」released on 25 July 2008 is the miracle's third PB. Eh, there seems to be quite a number of 3s in this post? (Being totally off topic here XD ) Moving on, it's been almost a year since Kusumi Kusumi Kusumi's (Sorry for the lameness but I suddenly thought of her part in the 'Joshi Kashimashi Monogatari' single) last PB so I'm guessing she should be getting another one in the next few months? It's such a tragedy that Risa has just 1 more PB than her fellow MM Tanjo Kinentai member when she has been in the group longer :( My poor Gaki-san *cries*
Oops, I'm getting distracted by the bean when this entry is supposed to be about Koharu. So here comes my top 10 Koharu pics from this PB. Enjoy ^^
The Cover
I would pay good money to buy a diary exactly like the one she's holding. No other reason except that it looks nice and has her name :)
10th
Someone mentioned her image looks Korean and I have to agree. I don't think I've seen Japanese girls with this hairstyle? Despite having so much hair, Koharu's awfully cute in this :D
9th
Just like a princess, so innocent and sweet. I must treasure this shot since it's not too often where you see a demure Koharu :P
8th
I find it hard to believe she's really only 16 when this PB was taken. Look at that face! *jaw drops*
7th
You can't really see that her hair is tied up in this photo. If you want to know how Koharu looks with a cute kiddy image, buy her PB. LOL.
6th
*Sings* Life is one time!! What? She IS holding onto Mikans isn't she? XD Damn, I shouldn't have included this pic. Now you readers can see her tied up hair without buying the PB. *smacks self*
5th
Totemo kawaii!! I'm not sure if I used that phrase right but you get what I mean right? How many people can look so incredibly cute from the back? <3
4th
Woah...*whistles* Nuff said.
3rd
I never understood what's so Moe or whatever about spectacles so I definitely didn't pick this one for her glasses. It's more of her expression. If a librarian who looked like Koha were to ask me to keep it down, I'll never open my mouth again :D
2nd
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!Koharu isn't 16!!! She can't be!!! *bangs head on table* PS: I wasn't looking at you know where. Honest!!
1st
A small trivia regarding this pic - Goto Maki wore a similar outfit in one of her own PBs. Y--yyeah, that's all I can say about this photo before I start spluttering nonsensical things.
I think OnDiet ever told me there are 2 meanings to Sou Sou 蒼蒼. One is the color blue and the other is...uh...I can't remember ^^; I'm not sure if the meaning behind Sayumi's 4th solo PB released on 14 December 2007 is blue. Anyhoo, on to my final entry for Sayu's birthday series.
The Cover
10th
The clothes here strike me as something a girl living in the countryside would wear. It's simple. In Kame's compliation PB, she too wore a similar outfit. I'm completely unbiased, but I think Eri pulled it off better :P
9th
It seems coincidental. But almost every one of the pictures I've chosen has Sayumi tilting her head upwards or down at some angle :D
8th
The sky must be pretty for you to be watching it. However, I'm certain it can't beat you in terms of beauty Sayumi-chan<3The dress makes her look as pure and innocent as an angel ^^
7th
How long has it been since I last picked a bikini pic?
6th
Converse sneakers hoshii!! Sayumi in the sweater and sneakers hoshii x 10000000000 XDDD She might look fabulous with jet black hair but with brownish tresses, she is just as alluring.
5th
This shot looks particularly beautiful as a cellphone wallpaper. Trust me, I've tried it :)
4th
Someone, please tell me how to describe the expression she has on her face. I just know one thing, it makes my heart go doki doki seeing her like this *in love*
3rd
Did UFA include this pic on purpose? It's the way her butt sticks out isn't it? I like the effect created by the sunlight on MM's most model worthy member.
2nd
Ohhhhh shoot, even when she's mostly covered, she manages to make you feel something.
1st
That's it!! I'll gladly toil as Sayumi's slave with no pay, no off days and zero rights if I can get to see her in real life.
Random person: Hello, as a slave you wouldn't have any of the above anyway.
With this being Sayu's first PB, one would expect it to be not very well shot. Unexpectantly, I had a rather hard time narrowing down to just 10 choices. There were so many cute/ adorable/smile inducing pictures. Hora, the girl who has been going on about how kawaii she is since the start of her career had been right all along :D Released on 30 October 2004 when she was just 15 years old, 「道重さゆみ」is a keeper for any fan of the Usachan Peace FC ('',) The only thing that I'm unhappy about is not having a DVD come with it*sulks* One can never have enough of Michishige Sayumi in 3D form.
The Cover
10th
I just like this picture. There is no special reason ^^
9th
The smile that is bright enough to light up a million rooms <3
8th
How does anyone look so cute blowing a balloon? Actually I'm not very sure if that was a balloon or just a giant yellow ball. When Sayumin is in the picture, my eyes can't seem to see anything else XP
7th
Hair-ties and Sayumi are inseparable. Doesn't she make you feel like rushing out to the nearest store and buying the entire hair-tie collection available? XD
6th
When she has her cute little face peeking out from behind the cards like that, it's enough to make anyone willingly lose the poker game against her :P
5th
A rare shot of her being mature and womanly. This has been a trend in her later PBs but in this particular book, such photos aren't the main theme.
4th
There she goes again, showing off how amazingly adorable she can be :)
3rd
This picture is a winner. If you recall, I've said before how much I like seeing Sayumi in red and black. Her outfit is a classic one, makes her look so pure and sweet. The Red Wing boots are a nice touch. I've always wanted one of those shoes but they are hecka pricey @@
2nd
Shhhhh, the ichiban kawaii girl in the whole seikai is telling you to keep quiet :P
1st
Awwwwwwwwwwwwww....*melts into a puddle of mush* Damn lucky usagi XDDDD
