Risa Watanabe: Hopefully a few recall who she is....

 


 Sure a few do recall who she is but have noticed such a vast drop in views for her posts the last year or since she left Keya. This is the first post for Risa in exactly two months, was missing her which was one reason I had her photobook as the featured post for the day. But then said to myself while not a huge post as far as recent pics go they're all so superb so why not have this plus is there anyone else who I would rather do a post for? Well, perhaps a few others these days but as most know Risa is my #1 woman of all time and only one other has topped the amount of posts she's had since 2018.



 Nineteen days from now will mark her first anniversary of graduating from Keya, Risa has stayed busy enough in that year. But of course not at the level she was at when she was with Keya but more than most J-Pop Idols have after they've left their groups. Will begin off with these recent IG pics and she's never been a person who posts many of them. One reason could be is because Risa does have her own fan site and may post many more photos there.








 In a few days will be posting the first two recaps for the "Borderless" drama, it was a ten episode show that aired in 2021. Know I'm late with them but just found the subs for the series last month and the seven main stars of the drama are from the three '46' groups. There's four storylines in this series and each will be the focus of two episodes, then I think in last two shows those stories will somehow connect with each other. Risa plays the character of Haru who is the older sister of Kei, many years ago Kei lost her sight and in the second episode we learned why. We just saw bits and pieces of this story in the first two episodes but would think(hope) that will be the main story in upcoming shows. Won't go into too much detail as those recaps will be posted in a few days, here's a few screenshots and at the end of the second episode there was a mini behind the scenes segment of Risa and her Hina mate.












 She is in a current drama though her role is small and to be honest the show isn't all that good though may have more screenshots from it in the future. Tomorrow the Spring 'Girls Award' show will be held, have gone to their site a few times to check who would be appearing but Risa's name sadly was never added. That's a shame as those shows always have some terrific pics from them but do have something semi historical. These are fabulous pics from the May 14, 2022 'Girls Award' show and it was her last activity before graduating from Keya.














 Least her close Keya mate will be there and expect another post for her by the weekend.








 April marked Risa's sixth anniversary as a model for Non-no, no new mag spreads from them but do have these superb recent pics from their site.












 One thing I've noticed is that you don't see all that many magazine spreads from most Idols after the leave their groups. No new ones for today so about an encore viewing of one that was in her last post, that didn't get many views so many of you may not have seen this tremendous spread. It's from the March 15th issue of Weekly Shonen and Risa was their cover girl, she was also the cover girl for the magazine last May which was her final spread as a Keya member.


















 Will end off with the top new pics of this post and her best ones of the year! Have always said Risa should do more modeling than just being with Non-no and it's finally happened as she's now a model for Aoki. This is the first batch off pics from their site and aren't they so unbeatable?!!!! No recent videos so will skip having any for this post.
