'Top Twenty Faves' countdown for 2019.... #2, the impeccable Risa Watanabe



 This was definitely one difficult selection and if I could have had a tie would have, perhaps this position could actually be 1B. When it's extremely close for a position almost always go with the older person and in this case the age difference is slightly over a decade. Figure an older fave may not have as many chances in the future to be high on a list but then again the person who will be #1 is very much a deserving fave. Expect that post on Tuesday at the latest, haven't started it yet but it could eb the best of all!
 Though in a way Risa is still my #1 for the year, I do have such fun doing her posts and finally she's become such a huge fan of you viewers. In the post two down from this one she had three of the top four viewed posts for the past six months and am curious how she'll do when I do a post for the entire year. Not much more I can say about Risa in this post that I haven't been saying all year and she's had well over twenty posts in 2019 with most of them having seventy or so pics. Today's is also going to be a massive one and the majority of things will be brand new. Entering this year did do a quickie list in my mind who would be in this year's top ten, most did make it but this was the only position I was correct on and should I predict a number one ranking next year?



 Least Risa wasn't too, too upset as not being number one this year as this morning's breakfast was burnt as usual but about her conversation with one of her best buddies....


 We don't see enough pics of those two these days. Well, have so many things not sure where to start. How about this minor appearance she made on the special TV holiday program 'The Gift' on December 9th where she stopped at a UGG store to get a present for that someone dear. Wasn't me but breakfast was good enough, like that final screenshot and are they really making her pay?












 'Keyakitte' for a long time was a decent show but went downhill a year ago and had only watched an occasional episode. But the last two or so months it's rebounded and have viewed about the last ten. Risa on these shows is usually way too quiet but she was featured in a segment on episode #208 that aired on November 24th. On the show the second generation members were given different challenges to prevent their Senpais from falling into a huge carton of styrofoam, as you can see they couldn't drink the tea in time. The segment before they needed to guess all of the member's birthdays, they were wrong with two and guess who one was?















 There's a pair of 'Tokyo Girls Collection' shows coming up in January and February but didn't see her listed as being an attendee, hopefully that'll be changed. Risa's appearance at a March 2018 TGC show is what made her such a massive fave of mine, to date these are my top pics of her which even includes her alluring gavure pics. Top batch of pics are from that 2018 show while there's a few others from this year's April show which are almost as good.


















 Keya may have the worst Idol bloggers as these days very few do entries, Risa is among the bad ones as her post three weeks ago was her first one in two months. Two months is a gap of time she hasn't had this year here, don't think I've gone longer than five weeks between posts for her. And every post since day one has included many pics from the Non-no site and the amount she has there has been increasing, these are new since the beginning of the month.














 Risa was the cover girl for their January edition though the spread isn't large enough.






 Have posted some recent Risa X-Mas cards but the ones for today are all new for here, top four pics are from the Non-no site and guess they're for Christmas....














 Really zipped through this post rather quickly considering how many things they were, am holding back about ten pics so there won't be a gap for her next post. Hopefully that'll be soon as for the first time in over a year 'W-Watanabe' will be gracing a cover and it's for the February issue of Entame. Speaking of covers Risa has yet again another one and bet she had that honor at least ten times this year. This is one of her best sets of the year and it could be her biggest one to date to, this perfect spread is from the December issue of BLT Graph.


















 Keya has gone ten months without releasing a single and their next one may not be until March. Figured it would hurt so many members but actually it seems to have helped many of them as they've been able to do many solo projects such as five photobooks this year. Plus it seems many members have increased their modeling work and have done a few other activities. There's no doubt Risa's popularity has gone sky high this year and she was helped by doing many outside activities, she's appeared in more mags than any other Keya member this year. Sure most of you have seen many of these pics but why not end off with a set of some of her most perfect ones, actually have too many to post them all! Shame there's no video for the photobook but no Keya member has one either. So after the pics is the video for her appearance on 'The Gift' show which only lasts for two minutes and hopefully it stays up for a while.
