The Fifteenth And Sixteenth Book Worth of Photos: First And Best Place On Earth

(Click here to skip to the Q&A for Lynn's Photobook)
If the best place on Earth takes the form of an island off the shores of South Japan called Okinawa, I wonder why I haven't visited there yet. *giggles* I should consider dying there now. *laughs*

Okay this might be too elaborate for a photobook review- TWO PHOTOBOOK REVIEWS haha but seriously who doesn't want some bikini and summer heat? *laughs* Oh did I spoil too much on what we are looking at this time around? So many months in the waiting since March even though one of them was already released in February, it took two months to arrive just because I wanted to save some money on international shipping, and we finally got to it! I gotta say though, I got REALLY impatient and started with these on a Friday night instead of the weekend, but I want to say now after looking at them, that I can't even sleep now. It is THAT GOOD haha we better get to it




THE BOOKS
OKINAWA IN A NUTSHELL
Lynn 1st Photobook
"Rin"
[Buy at Gamers]
Sano Hinako Photobook
"BE WITH ME"
[Buy at Amazon Japan]
Oh and suffice it to say we are NOT going to pit these two against each other unlike the last time with Valentine's Day last year. Because apart from the theme being photos taken in Okinawa - the southern Japan island of love and peace mostly love for bikini-clad women hehe - it is also super unfair to pit a voice actress against a gravure model. *silence* So yeah, we'll just put them in a theme and then say they BOTH win. *laughs* I lost, I lost so much blood-

Now that the introduction's over and my patience is at its limit LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOO

(Sorry to my phone camera in advance you are going to burn out more often than I do haha *dabs*)

Such a great bundle, and you bet my thumb is at the right place haha
*dabs*

写真集 Lynn 1st Photobook "Rin"
I can't figure out whether this cover is better or Ede-chan's to be honest
(Yup, thumb on point)

Aw, why you slap the "first and last book" thing on here you barely started-

Gotta start recognizing the "Okinawa" word there you gonna see that again

So essentially this is a location-based photobook similar to the other one we will be reviewing, but considering this is voice actress Lynn-san's first time at this and she went to such an extent even showing us her slender body dressed in as little clothing as possible to the level of bikini in the sandy beaches of Okinawa... I can NOT ask for more of it. Really, if you wanted a mixed race girlfriend, boy do I have a recommendation for you. *giggles* Rin-san let's see what you have to offer *wink*

She's a beauty, ain't she?

With a little spice of cute, I'll give you that

Yeah, you see that front? You saw that?? *giggles*
Oh the hat suits her haha

Oh and just a warning, that you as a man might be quite distracted to not her face in a little bit, just so you know. Been there, done that. *laughs*

Me when I knew that Lynn-san is releasing a photobook haha

I wish time could stop at this moment like, forever.

Idealism might be hard to achieve, but in photobooks Okinawa, it all seems possible
(lol)

Okay, showing belly button now, we're getting warmer
(Haha I know, the tension, dude)

Beautiful torso is not what I would use to describe anyone but for her it's rather accurate

Never wanted to be the wall this bad- She can be my boyfriend I don't care
(You heard of cool girlfriends before?)

Like seriously, how much?
To pay for the drink?
Heck, to pay for another straw?
*giggles*

Not exactly a pro at billiards but if you want to play with balls I-
(I'm sorry for the dirty jokes)

Side profile because if you think she has chest don't think too much lmao

Still, she might still be the hottest voice actress to show this much in a photobook
(Personal opinion, by the way)

YES!!!
(Haha I've never been so excited reviewing a photobook in my life)

Doesn't even have rack and can already fill my tension meter up-

Someone had to splash water at her to make this, think about it
(Haha)

Like, I'm not even looking at her face at this point
*giggles*

Moments where I just blatantly stare at her rack
(You too, we know)

She is so, so perfectly wet I can't even
(lol)

And who even cares about her eating burgers lmao
*dabs*

Oh, black and white effect? I thought I saw a red dress in the previews

Oh ok this is more like it hehe

Girls when I ask to date them lol

Why are walls getting laid more often than me? Why is that?
(Haha *sob*)

This is called their "look at my bare legs" shot

Not too obvious but she has a beautiful back too

Oh and if you didn't know of her with horses (that's just in general too, most women like them) you may not know her obsession of betting on horse races (and winning them too)

So much so she is recently in a horse-racing magazine with an interview. Yep, that's how far off the voice actress perpendicular she went haha no one even comes close to her in this aspect by the way

Might as well just reincarnate as a horse haha

She just cute, isn't she?
(I feel like I said this before but)

And this is the second time you came lol bed scene!!

Really, between this and Asakura Momo on her 2nd photobook... THIS.
*giggles*

Imagine seeing this in the morning. I will believe I must have done something real bad haha

God, if I had to take a shot in every single shot of this page alone I'll drink 4 glasses of vodka haha

And... this is going to be the first of many times my phone camera gave up! *laughs* Seriously though, the hard limit on phones heating up while taking too many photos need to GO AWAY lol I'm just taking photos of a book, Google phone, you gotta relax *laughs*

Even as a bookmark this is such a good bromide photo haha *dabs*

...And we're back!! Haha we almost there guys

Like, I want you to tell me a shot in this review so far that you DIDN'T like.
There is none *giggles*

The sunset's not important at this point haha

Beautiful smile, what else?

Again, not looking at face, or water, or sunset-

Probably her joy when they finished taking photos for the book and she doesn't have to go on a diet again lol

This is not a lot of Q&A so let's get to know her (better)
"My name is Lynn! Everyone calls me by Rin-chan, Rin-san most of the time~

Q: Impressions and memories from each school level
A: 
Elementary school - Moved school locations 3 times

High school - Sang and danced with a dress in a drama in school festival
[Now that I think about it growing up as a mixed race in Japan probably got into a lot of bullying- She was a student council chairperson though?? RESPECT dude]

*Can be kelp too, I don't know sushi that well to say this
**She only wrote "forest" and ironically I know she plays "The Forest of Animals" which you might be familiar with its English title "Animal Crossing"; Normally abbreviated as "DoubuMori"
***There can only be one of such a title tbh, and thanks to Kohara Konomi I knew of this classic from 2014

Her time schedules on days of work and days off.
She notes that the ON schedule is mostly what was in 2021 (wow), and I like how she sleeps more on OFF schedule and watch horse-racing (lol) and plays video games.
That one hour of bath though haha I like

See, that hour-long bath is if she had a sauna at her home lmao for now it might be just a bathtub

Hey dad who is more rad than my dad haha

As not really a fan I still lost to her mom and... people in her talent agency?
Ooo that is a hint right there hehe

You, who bought this first and last "1st photobook".
Thank you so much!!
Location and outfits and makeup and expressions, I (did) it with the best of my tastes.
(I) created such a treasure.
Walking this far and meeting all the people along the way and linked together,
that was what made "Rin" today.
(I) thank (you) from my heart.
And so from here on, facing forward, with a smile.

Lynn

Thank YOU for the photobook, really. Especially when you say it's your first and last it only makes this review all the more precious and worth it since you are not printing new ones every other year like everyone else lol looking at you Uesaka Sumire

How often can I switch women to be on my bed every night?
Haha asking for a friend

This back cover is a decent summary of her body *wink*

All in all, a really good photobook without much interviews and stuff, straight to the point whether it's with regards to content and/or showing as much of her body to us as possible *giggles*, I gotta say I've never wanted to recommend a photobook this bad to anyone. Turning 30, by the way. *giggles* I'm SO GLAD I avoided all the damn spoilers online because this is also available on release date in digital by the way at the same price, and goddamn this is worth all the content on it. Again, coming from such a beauty as Lynn-san herself, really makes you wonder how she took this long to agree to do a commemorative photobook, but what am I to say? "To go to sleep with gratefulness", remember? Hehe thanks Lynn-san everyone who bought this photobook needed it to be honest

And now you WIPE ALL OF THAT WHOLESOME CONTENT AWAY because

NEXT

UP!!!

*laughs*


写真集 Sano Hinako Photobook "BE WITH ME"
G cup, by the way.
It's B84 and on the lower end but still.

Oh I'm with you alright haha to celebrate Sano Hinako and her 10th year since her debut as a gravure model and drama actress (by the way, I knew her through that first) (haha) we are truly blessed with a supersized photobook of epic proportions which will make you wonder why I even bought Baba Fumika's photobook where she went to Australia because THIS is the definition of a photobook from a gravure model. Just shots to please, and images to jack- Okay I shouldn't say that haha, but this book will make you think. Really, this industry veteran will show you how it's done haha

So yeah here's your Okinawa word reference, second line by the way.
And yeah she has a million followers on Instagram I know it's not much but with her standards though?
I would just show you a short video and you'll love her

WOAH WOAH
(Haha thought it'll be a great way to read the book without the inlet covers but)

BOOBA!!
(Haha)

Sano Hinako, by the way.
I'm just showing you her rather adorable face filled with spots before we move on *laughs*

Yeah, she has that different angle face that'll turn her into another person

Nice cleavage, by the way
(Haha)

She's got them legs too, hard to show in this but

Summer is all about them summer outfits, right?
Nice belly too hehe

Just, so much perfections and high standards in these gravure shots I can't even

So, so much skin...

Somehow looking at that frisbee is also making me nosebleed haha

Not tight demins to show her thighs or something but I'll take it

Yeah, the appeal in this outfit is side boob, by the way.
YES!
*laughs*

Despite the lack of chest I like this particular shot somehow

I took a photo and I'm like "doesn't even show booba" so I zoomed out lmao

When I see no booba and I see her face and I still think she looks great
*dabs*

And... I'm going to get banned lmao
(No seriously, I may have to censor this image now)

Just more shots to please your eyes
(Gotta say, she's got a nice rear-)

More of her chest shots because why not
(You're welcome)

This is so sexy cute girlfriend mode I can't even

Kinda wish I can put this as my wallpaper... for my secondary web browser haha I'll never put this as my main wallpaper

That face when I woke up proves that I DEFINITELY did her last night-
*dabs*

NICE ASS BABY
(lol sorry but I gotta)

And... she's wet.
*laughs*

Like, so, so wet...

... Ugh, so wet haha ah-

My girl when I suddenly walked into the bathroom?
Haha

Well, as you may have known, gravure differs from porno in Japan in that the models will NEVER be naked so even if it's in a bath they will be clothed.

Sorry for ruining the surprise but *laughs* yeah if nudity happens like that Itou Mayuki calendar I will NOT be doing this review lmao

I want to be the bottle so I can kiss her haha

Oh boat trip? Nice!
Also nice pendant or something haha

Me when I have to take a break from this photobook's goodness lol

Probably also around the time the phone camera gave up again- It gave up TWO TIMES in this book by the way that's how much awesomeness there is all slapped on this huge book.

Cheaper than Lynn-san's book by the way lmao

If you need a more sexy side of her which she usually exudes in my opinion, here you go

Sexiness with nice cleavage too

See, sometimes they get you with the cute Hinako hehe

More bed scenes? Is this even legal??
(lol)

Legit saw this and thought her cleavage was at the knee lmao
(You get it, right? Haha)

Hiding under the sheets I may just accidentally f**k you- #NotAPorno

And my dream is to see this when I wake up every morning haha
(And she is one year younger than me too WTF??)

Is there such a thing as China-themed underwear?
Because this is it

Close-ups here and there and everywhere in this book

MEGANE YES!!!
(Haha does it even matter anymore)
(To me, yes, why not)

Yeah you see how they got you with a chance at her underboob? Hehe I know right

They don't even bother showing face anymore lmao

Are you even a fan of basketball, me?
*laughs*

In case you have never seen gravure magazines before, it's pretty much like this haha

Never thought I'd want to put a sausage in between those-

Somehow they think the sand makes you even more excited to be with them lmao title drop

This is very very very borderline illegal I tell you
(Imagination is in the mind of the pervert, they say)

Very iconic in gravure though not as illegal as the side boob thing just now though that is... I should just blur that image just in case haha

It's like the sunset is non-existent lol I'm already burnt
(Haha)

She looks great with sunglasses though

Really, this is G cup?
I find it hard to believe bring in Fumika-chan here haha

And this is the number one reason why I want her to be my girlfriend.
Second was her acting in drama "Shinya no Damekoi Zukan" as super supportive partner

No really, you should go watch and see how dedicated that character was to her useless boyfriend I wish I was that dude in real life lmao

All in all... this is a long one but I'm more than just impressed. I'm not surprised though, considering I've seen her appearing in gravure shots online in many mediums over the years, this is only just adding to my love meter of her beautiful image, and why she deserved this decade long photobook. Then again I hardly know her from her mahjong skills displayed on YouTube to her drama acting I've only seen the one to be honest... I still think she's such a beauty, I feel like this was the best chance to pay her back. You're welcome, Hinako-san. If I can bring any girlfriend to even pretend to show off to my parents, you are definitely one of them.

If I had to choose between Lynn-san and you though I'll take you first hehe sshh don't tell her *wink*

Allure is hard to explain, but I can show you.
This.

Size of photobook is proportional to the size of your weiner lol *dabs*
I... I- You can tell that I'm speechless at this point, right? I know the above images have captions and all, but after seeing two books with so much skin and butt and chest... I mean, I got real tired for some reason after all this. *laughs* Yes, they are both beautiful women and honestly saying pitting them against each other might still be quite a showdown because Lynn-san is pretty (and) alluring and Sano Hinako... having her as my girlfriend will be a sin. *silence* I feel like that's a problem anyhow we better stop WE BETTER STOP NOW-




Okay okay this will be all. *laughs* I will of course spend the weekend filling in the Q&A stuff from Lynn-san because we don't need to know more of the other one in person anyways I don't even like to speak Chinese. *laughs* (Can you be racist towards yourself? Haha) Ah hey, to be honest with you though? Still will treasure Lynn's one and only bikini experience compared to this model who has shown much skin since a decade ago. Yeah, where were you a decade ago lol Baba Fumika wasn't even a model yet *dabs* Yeah yeah I need to calm down lol my heart is just pounding too much just staring at this post lmao I need to lie down it's gonna strike twelve soon

P.S. There is no space left lmao what am I to do...
15 books, by the way, plus we're still hanging that calendar book too
*dabs*

P.P.S.
