I generally don’t like the bleached-blonde look on Asian women, but it works for Sayaka Sasaki.

…and since she’s turning 34 soon, I don’t even have to feel guilty about ogling!

It only took six years or so, but there’s now a Bluray release of the Otoko-tachi no Yamato movie; I rather liked it, so it’ll be in my next order from Amazon Japan.

Hopefully the soft-subs I found for the DVD still line up with the new release. I don’t see anything about changes to the film.

This photo shoot of 20-year-old Yuzu Matsumoto stands out because it doesn’t rely on any of the common glamour-photography tropes, or any of the common fetishes. She’s just a fully-dressed, extremely pretty young woman, in a little “daily life” sketch.

(most of the other shoots in this series from Weekly Georgia fall into the “ideal girlfriend” category, of course)

I presume the back of her skirt has a giant “A” on it…

Hey, at least it’s not a tattoo.

It reads 冷奴, hiyayakko, which means “cold tofu”.
