Actress Shaku Yumiko recently announced her first photo book in 10 years and impressed everyone with the first teaser shots. However, on July 16th she stunned even more fans with some unaltered private swimsuit pictures from a relaxing moment at the beach in between the photo shooting.

She posted the pictures on her blog under the title 'Umi no Hi SP', giving her fans a more than pleasant surprise for Marine Day (a public holiday) on Monday. The pictures once again prove that Shaku has a glamorous and well-toned slender body with not a gram too much. In the first picture she is getting ready to have fun at the beach by taking off her RadyxShaku Yumiko jersey. The remaining pictures then show her on the beach wearing her favorite bikini from Emilio Pucci.

Shaku wrote that she bought the bikini a few years ago and that she never had the confidence to wear it until now, since she put so much effort into her body for the photo book. However, buying a bikini before getting yourself in shape can result in it not perfectly fitting anymore, which she humorously showed in the third picture. She frolicked, "If you haven't noticed, its size has become too big for me." The fourth and fifth picture show her being in very high spirits. She wrote, "I can't tell you how much I love the sea."

'I am Shaku Yumiko Photo Book' will go on sale on August 30th.
