Story/ Introduction: This is the second photobook titled "Sun-Chu!" with Saori Yamamoto. I saw this in a Japanese online store and I ordered it after thinking it over. I came across it when I was browsing something else. The cover really caught my eye. |

| The
Look/Body: Saori Yamamoto is quite unusual for a J-idol. She's not exactly the hottest looking girl out there but she has a cuteness that can't be denied. She has a baby face with large catlike eyes. She's quite adorable. Of course, her most recognizable asset are those incredible I-cup breasts. They are simply amazing. Saori's body is quite curvaceous and a bit rounder than most idols of her type. She's not fat but she's a bit flabby compared to other models. Everything about her is different than the standard J-idols that I'm used to seeing in photobooks. |

| The
Fame: I don't know much about her fame. Judging from her site, Saori has done quite a bit. She's done videos, magazines and she's even got her own music album! You can check her official site for more information but I don't have enough information on her to know how popular she is. |

Content: The photographer has some nice shots of Saori but there's nothing truly unique or daring about most of them. Most of them seem fairly standard for these photobooks. Some of it seems plain. There are the usual up-close shots of her head as well as some traditional "lying down" shots. A lot of the poses feel like they were taken from many previous photobooks and anime pinups. Some people might like that. I thought they were okay. I wish the photographer took advantage of Saori's boobs and made more use of them. That's what most people want to see when they buy this book anyways. I was slightly disappointed by that. There isn't any nudity of any kind which is also disappointing. I would've loved to see her in all her naked glory. When I saw some shots of her being posed with a toddler, I knew I wouldn't see any nude shots. Bummer. The majority of the book showcases Saori in various outfits. They range from schoolgirl uniforms to bikinis to some unusual outfits like an angel costume (seen in the cover). There are also some shots of her in school gym clothes and a couple of shots of her taking a bubble bath which I think are really cute shots of her. The angel costume I mentioned is quite creative even though I've seen other versions of it before. Basically, Saori has feathers pasted onto her privates to hide her naughty bits. It looks really cool on her since she has those huge breasts. Very sexy. The location shoots involve a wide variety of destinations. There are some shots in a school (classroom and gym), swimming pool, bathtub, a regular street and a natural outdoor setting. There are also some indoor shots involving a bed and some set pieces. The photobook's layout is good. All the images are in full color glossy paper. There are a couple of pages in the middle where they interview Saori and include personal photos of her. At the end of the book, there's a DVD included that's titled "Memorial DVD" which I haven't viewed yet. I'm sure it's behind-the-scenes stuff and it's a nice bonus. There is also an offer for autographed clothes from Saori which I thought was interesting. |

| Overall:
A- Saori Yamamoto is a silly girl and this book shows it. There are lots of nice sexy photos of her in here. Like I said, it's a waste that she didn't go nude here. If you like busty curvy J-idols, then this photobook is for you. Here's hoping she'll show more skin in the next photobook. ;) |
