17 - Maimi Yajima's Photobook

[Shoujo Q]

From the bowels of the Release Thread comes Maimi's Photobook Preview!





Yajima Maimi came out with her 3rd Photobook, "17" which also came with a DVD. Now depending on who you believe it came out on the 18th, comes out on the 20th OR the 24th. Either way it's coming out. But is you want more of a Maimi fix, there will be a DVD released later this month on the 29th called 17's.







Here are some previews (Taken shamelessly from H!O), talks amongst yourselves. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... iggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lmfao:' />

So far it looks kind of boring in comparison to her others, but then again there's only a handful of previews (I saw a few more at jphip, but it was basically just different shots in the same bikinis). I really like the black and white shots, and the hammock shot would be really cute if it was at a slightly different angle. It makes it look like she's wearing a thong and the net is digging into her (nearly flat) butt.



I really like the covershot. A lot of people at jphip were complaining that she looks angry, but I don't really see it. She looks more sad to me. Either way, it's a nice "mature" shot.

Do want, very much. I needs me some more Mammy. I loved her previous 2 books and she's just gotten better looking with time, so I'll definitely be getting the DVD somehow or another, but scans for books have gotten pretty hard to find lately.

She would look better if she ate a sandwich (or two). Don't get me wrong. I think she's beautiful, but I think she'll get even prettier as she ages and fills out a bit more. BTW, I've always wondered this, but do you think UFA/HP uses "genetics" in the sense that they look at the girls' moms as an indicator of potential looks?! I say this because there are a few HPK and HPE that I wouldn't have given a snowball's chance in hell of looking as good as they look now when they got older, Maimi being one of them.

I would say yes if all the girls grew up pretty <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' /> I think it's a rolling of Tsunku's instinct dice. Sometimes he's picked some girls that are really cute when they first join, but they grow up and look really awkward. Other times the girls have turned out like Maimi. It's really a guessing game, especially looking at kids (both male and female) during that puberty stage or just before it. I guess Tsunku figures if he's wrong, there's always makeup, lighting, and angles <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... /laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':lol:' />

Psh. Tsuku has "hired" plenty of uggos before, remember Kei? <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... wheely.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />



Photobook is cute, if typical. I like the hammock shot though.

None of which work for Shimizu Saki.
