Damn they are not messing around!
How hopeless is it to wish this PB *doesn't* have swimsuits LOL
-
^ gosh, I hope not... :lol: a FULL swimming costume maybe, but please no "sexy" bikini beach shoots... D:
hmm, might of been nice to see a 9th gen photobook before the solo ones... D: I almost feel a bit sorry for the other girls- they're making it so clear that she's the new front girl and leaving the others in the back.. ; n ;
-
^ So you mean like with Reina?
Anyway, even if there's swimsuits, it can't be as "sexy" as Risako's 1st pb, right?
For one thing, if anything she looks younger than her age.
Risako has always been the opposite.
I can't see them doing anything much more risque than

without making her pb one that only appeals to lolicons.

LOL two days after I leave Japan. THat's ok, I wouldn't buy it anyway, but it would've been freaky to see it at a store. :lol:

The Wani blurb mentions it has the first time she's been to the Sky Tree (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Sky_Tree), which you can plainly see in the UTB preview.
In addition, the placeholder image for the PB cover has the same dress as the bicycle pic.
I'm pretty certain that means those pics are from the same photo shoots as the PB itself.
The same kind of pattern was seen with Mano-chan's newest PB.
And yes, while it does mention swimsuit shots in Okinawa, I doubt they'll be suggestive.

At first I was wondering "Hey what's up with her skirt flying up there?" and "Is that a backpack behind her? And if so, what the hell?".
But now those questions are just gone...
...because I've seen this.

Hmm I dont like it
XD
I dont think it fully captures her cuteness, I dont like the outfits and the fanservice lol
-
I think she looks perfectly adorable. :wub: Though I am getting a Risako fans, please don't kill me lol early Risako PBs vibe. Which imo, is kinda scary >_>
-
-
She's cute, and the normal clothed photos are perfect- they all make me think of early MM members photobooks (like Yossie's and Rika's for example) but I do feel a bit funny about the bikini photos, since she is so young still- couldn't they of kept to full swimsuits and photos of her swimming around or something rather than these skimpy bikini shots, even though they are still cute and adorable. XD;
I guess it feels weird because there's these cute little shots of her looking like a child, and then these more grown up photos where you can kind of imagine an older Riho being in those photos instead...

Creepy Rihowota's blog is creepy.
:P
Well, liking most of the preview pics so far, but a shot like this? Really?
http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip22643.jpg
:wth
We all know that (especially considering her age) a lot of us would not necessarily be comfortable if the PB was just oodles of swimsuit/bikini pics (though I gotta say, I find the red one (http://picroda.jphip.com/hp/jphip22638.jpg) isn't that bad, or at least, it's a bit more tasteful and not just blatant skin exposure). At the same time, we ALL knew that...well...it's a PB, and that there were/are bound to be swimsuit/bikini pics in it. Now, having said that, I gotta ask, who's fuckin' bright idea was it to have/include a pic like that? Nevermind the fact that it was probably physically awkward for Yasshii when they asked her to try and climb into those things to begin with, but really, WTF? Are they trying to go for an ero/perv/loli-type image because she doesn't have a figure yet? NEWSFLASH people, she's only 13! She's not SUPPOSED to have a figure yet!
-
^ I know right, I HATE that shot! :( Stuff like this makes me really disappointed in H!P management. It's like Risako's 1st PB all over again. Most of the time I'm proud to be a H!P fan, but I'd have a hard time justifying this to anyone.
It's a shame because it's also awkward for me to like Riho after this, like it was awkward to like Risako, because it would be like supporting the loli image that she's given & as a result, supporting the management's stupid decision that I disagree with. I'm quite fond of Risako now that she's older, but back in the day every time I saw her she reminded me of the reasons why people thought H!P was creepy and uncool, so I couldn't really judge her for who she truly was, but for what she represented. And now Riho is in danger of taking the role I was hoping would be dead in H!P. It's not just this PB, it's also her golden single outfit - like they're really trying to reveal her skin as much as possible, and I JUST DON'T GET IT. Are they really that desperate? Do they really NEED to do that? Is she not cute enough with her clothes on? Whose idea was this? I don't get it! HER BODY IS A CHILD'S BODY. SHE'S A 13-Y-O GIRL WHO LOOKS 11. It's so much more upsetting because you KNOW what kind of audience this is targeted to; the one that likes 11-y-o looking bodies. It makes me uncomfortable that her body is being sold this way. This PB is not just your average cute Alo Hello bikini shot, the pic linked by JFC shows it if no other does.
Anyway sorry about the rant, LOL.

Since people like Sayu like this PB, maybe we're making a bigger deal about this than the Japanese are.
But then again Sayu is a known creeper...
STILL, girls buy these things too!
Even with shots like that!
-
^ Of course Sayu likes it. It's her job to like it. :lol:

Wooohaaa! That's one cute fail. :lol:
Considering she was going downhill at the time, I'd say it's an epic save as well.
