Erika Denya: Bit of an overdue post....





 May as well start off with a Babyraids tune as I'll bet most J-Pop fans have forgotten about them or perhaps have never heard their songs. Can't say I was a big fan of the group but every song I've heard from them has been good. They broke up on September 24, 2018 and were a popular group though their final few singles didn't sell as well. The single at the top is from 2016 and is titled "Senkou Believer" which hit #11 on the charts.



 Overdue is partially right as this is Erika's first post in ten months. But then again she wasn't all that busy most of the year save for a pair of mag spreads. This is also a somewhat belated happy birthday as Erika turned 24 on November 2nd. Like the vast majority of Idols whose group disbanded she hasn't continued on with a singing career but has been in a few recent plays plus makes so many appearances on variety shows and was in her first drama, "Runway 24".


 Most of this post will be for Erika's first official photobook though she did have a mini one back in 2014. Pics from the book are simply out of this world, above is an outtake one along with this top Instagram pic followed by a few other recent ones.





 Noticed Erika isn't much of a blogger or Instagram poster and that seems to be the case with many whose agency is Lespro. Title of Erika's photobook is "Sol" which came out on October 2nd, top pic is the cover along with a few other dazzling pics.






 This is Erika's seventh post and while all have been popular every one has drawn less views than the previous post which is odd. There was an event held for the PB on October 5th at the HMV store in Shibuya, pics for the book were taken in Spain.












 The PB hit the top ten for sales in it's first week out but then dropped off the charts. On to four mag spreads which all have outtake pics from the "Sol" photobook. Three of them are from WPB and Erika has appeared in so many of their issues, this set is from the July 15th edition and seemed a bit early to be promoting the PB.














 Second Erika WPB spread is from their July 29th issue.








 Erika has also done a huge WPB-Net pictorial back in 2018, wish she would do another as that set of pics were jaw-dropping. Erika once again is the cover girl for WPB and their October 14th edition.











 Final spread for today which has more PB outtake pics is from the October 15th issue of SPA!. After the pics is a short promo video for Erika's first WPB spread.
