 May have to give her the name 'Miss Consistency' as no fave tops the way she's been on these yearly lists. In four years Rika in a row has been third, fourth, sixth and now fifth on the list which is an average of 4.5, this year's #1 does have a 3.3 position average but that's just for three years. In Rika's last post which was in October did hint around this may be her last post. The main reason was that she's been seeing someone regularly for two years but there's been no rumors of an engagement, moving in together or whatever other scenario there could be. Rika is 32 in age so she's definitely around that period when one would get married but on the other hand her career has been doing so well she may want to put getting hitched off for a while. So will continue to have posts for her, perhaps not as many as the ten she had for 2020 but at least one every other month so she can qualify for next year's list. 

 First introduced Rika at the beginning of July 2017, since then only one actress/model has had more posts than her and no woman's posts have been as large. But this isn't going to be one of those massive posts, been kind of a quiet stretch so will hold back a few things for her next post. Rika is one those very, very few gals who I'd consider to have a chance at being #1 the next time an 'All Time Top Twenty Faves' list is done. That probably wouldn't take place until the Spring of 2022 and there's no way she wouldn't be in the top five though much can happen in a stretch of sixteen months.

 From her first post in 2017 until mid 2019 there weren't many more popular women here than Rika but that level of popularity has really fallen. There's little doubt because she doesn't do as many gravure pics but she never really did many outside of her photobooks, to me she doesn't need to do any more gravure pics to have a chance at being my #1 of all time. I think her regular modeling pics are all terrific and 99% of her ones over the years have been in that vein. Of course have many for you today with this first batch being from the With Online site, she's a new model for them.

 Small batch here of new pics for Snidel, modeling pics are the ones I'm holding back.

 She's been with Apuweiser for at least four years, many new pics for their Winter Collection.

 What may have(did) slide Rika down a spot on the list the past two years was her lack of event appearances. She was at one in October but that's been it the past ten months, can understand the reason for the lack of them for so long but things seem to be more normal these days. Bring that up because no woman looks better at events and I truly love her classy style at them. Back in 2017/18 she must have been at twenty of them and how I miss including pics like those. So will go back in time which I've done so often this year to June 9, 2017 where she attended a special 'Thermos Surprise' cafe opening.

 For the first time Rika will have the lead female role in a drama, it'll be starting in January. Title of the series is "Gekikaradou" which will be airing on TV Tokyo, it's a late night show which are my faves. Just found out about it today so will have more info in her next post and will be doing that right around when the drama begins. Just have two mag spreads for today, both are super duper sets though wish this one from the December Maquia was much larger.

 This spread makes up for the above one, it's a massive sixteen pic set from the December edition of Oggi and bet Rika has been their cover girl five times this year.

 Something that popped in my mind a few days ago was ranking my top photobooks from the past decade. There's been so many hundreds of steamy ones it'd be hard to whittle it down to a top ten or twenty. Bet out of them Rika's first PB from 2017 may have the inside track of being my #1 but there's many deserving ones that could claim the honor too. Will end off with some ultra, ultra alluring Rika pics and I would consider her to be my number two hottest woman ever, that'd be an impossible list to compile! Following the pics is an August video from Bijin Hyakka which I hadn't seen before, she was the cover girl for their September issue.
