Rika Izumi: The epic 'Happy 30th Birthday' post!!!!



 Been quite a few huge posts lately and prefer doing those versus 2-3 smaller ones. This one for today is definitely an epic post, really any one about Rika could be considered a must view. There's about ten of my bigger faves who celebrate a b-day between October 3rd and the 17th but think this will be the only one that will have a post for it, two in that time period made my top twenty of all time.
 Rika didn't make the list but if there ever is another one odds are good she would crack the top ten. Last year she was third on my yearly list, was thinking she may not make it this year but kind of leaning towards her having another appearance. She kind of has to as to me no woman is hotter or as alluring as Rika is, she truly has become better looking with each passing year and do have some very old pics to back that claim up.
 Rika has been in the entertainment field for about 15 years and as a model for eight of them. But she did only gravure types of pics and spreads for about a year, she looks tremendous however she's dressed but guiltily do love her skimpyish pics. The post for Rika's 2017 photobook "Rika" has been ultra popular here, it's been the most viewed post for the past month and she's had that honor for a few weeks now.



 Those two pics above are from the PB which could be my fave one for last year and it barely beat out one by a Keya member. Have a huge variety of things today, some very old pics while some are new, they go from pics of promo events, mag spreads, pics from fashion sites and more. Attending promo events are the activity I enjoy the most from Rika, last year she had to be at a dozen of them. Different story this year though as I've counted only two of them to date.
 Her last one was on August 31st and it was for a special screening of her current drama "Bungaku Shojo". Have skimmed through the first show and would watch the entire series but like so many Japanese dramas these days it's not going to be subbed. Almost all Korean dramas get subbed, wonder what the story with Japanese shows is? Rika's acting career is slowly getting busier, she's had no lead roles but in this drama she has her biggest one to date.















 The lead actress in the series is someone I do like a lot, had forgotten slightly about her but expect a post very soon for her.





 Only about eighty days left in the year but if you're short a calendar to count the days may I recommend having Rika on your desktop....






 Rika isn't someone who does a lot of posting of pics on her Instagram site but least the ones she does have are super duper.





 Now compare those pics and the other ones to some of Rika from 2011! These are from the 'Laisse Passe' clothing site and didn't she look so much different back then? She was much more conservative back then and at the time Rika was 22.

















 Even more oldie Rika pics with these being from the 2012 'Lodispotto' Autumn collection.











 Rika is a model for so many clothing lines and fashion sites, too many to have all of the pics today but do have many. New ones here for the 'Apuweiser' Autumn collection.









 Rika has her own columns at the Maquia and Voce magazine sites but there's usually one one or two pics in her posts.









 However the With Online site has so many more pics of Rika there, top one rates an A++++!









 On to a bunch of mag spreads, Rika had many gravure sets from late 2016 to mid 2017 but really only one since then. Then again Rika seems to be a bit of a classy lady and blows 99.99999% of the women in the world away no matter how she's clad. Speaking of Classy, it's the name of a Japanese mag and these are pics from their November issue.





 Last Rika post missed these pics from the August edition of Maquia.






 This could be the best Rika spread of all of them today which is from the September issue of Oggi. Rika is a model for so many mags but we never see her at any of the huge fashion shows.








 Two more spreads and both these are from November issues. Both have five pics each which are from Voce and With.











 Not much more to tell you about Rika's unbeatable looks so let's end off with some jaw-dropping pics, if you haven't seen the post for her PB highly recommend viewing it. Rika has been a spokesperson for the employment agency Indeed for quite a few years and she must have forty or so CM's for the company. There's a new one that came out for Halloween which is after these perfect pics, the video also contains a long behind the scenes segment.
