Haruka Kodama: Yet another in the long line of.... π―πππ πππ ππππππππ πππ πππ ππ posts....
Second time she's had a post with a similar title though the other was much more extreme as it had been four years between posts! This stretch hasn't been as severe as there were two posts in 2023 though both were for her second photobook that came out at the end of 2022, the second post for the book was because there was a different version released. So this is Haruka's first regular post in 22 months and she truly is a mega star here for me and especially you viewers! Every post has always been immensely popular so know all of you have wanted many more of these but it just hasn't been possible though there should be at least one more upcoming post.
In the post for October birthdays did bring up a subject which was of some women who I adore to no end but will never appear on a list or if they do their position wouldn't be as high as they deserve. Which is because of a lack of posts and Haruka sadly is in that group of woman, not far from being #1 either though someone else would edge her out. Haruka's first post was done over eight years ago so obviously I have liked her for quite a long time. But after 2017 the posts for her came to a halt, one reason was because she took a long hiatus from HKT. Then when she returned she wasn't her 'old self' and never did all that many activities, she left he group in June 2019 and it was a bit of a quiet send off.
Gulp, photos such as the above have once again left me speechless, gulp. π Then after leaving HKT over five years ago Haruka was just so-so busy for a while as she was in a couple of stage plays and opened her own YT channel. But it wasn't until 2022 that she made a full time return with a photobook, many magazine appearances, some lingerie modeling pics, etc. So I thought it was the beginning of a busy period for Haruka but after doing much in seven months she semi disappeared once again. Have a brand new mag spread for today which is her first one in almost two years plus she will be in a few more coming out soon but is she just teasing us again(?) and I do wonder how do woman like her survive only working here and there such as she has over the last seven years?
Sure most Haruka fans know that she did have a bit of work done on her upper figure to enhance it and you could say it worked as she did become much more popular. So that makes me wonder why have some work done on your body and then disappear for almost two years? All of the photos above are from the past 2 1/2 years, the batch below are from 2015-17 when she was with HKT and while the above ones are truly sweltering I thought she looked terrific before any surgery....
This is a good sized post though could have made it larger, did hold back on some things so another post could be done within the month. Below are some recent pics from Haruka's IG page, ssome are from September 19th when she hit the age of 28(!) and you don't think of Idols such as her turning thirty. The first pic is from a SPA! magazine photo shoot, she will be in their next issue.
It's getting close to Halloween so have some very old HKT cards below for the eerie day and hopefully can have some other treats for it in her next post.
Until recently Haruka hadn't had a regular magazine spread in two years and she did make a comment about that saying it wasn't her intention of that happening but time just flew right by and I can understand what she meant. There was one magazine spread last year which is this set from the August issue of UTB, however the pics were outtake ones from a photo shoot that took place almost a year before. In July 2023 a different version of her scorching "Stay 25" photobook was released and this set was promoting it so this is the first time these pics have been seen here.
Did do posts for both versions of the books and of course those posts are close to unbeatable, whewwww!!!! Will end off with Haruka's first regular spread in almost two years and she's the cover girl for the October 15th issue of Flash. It's promoting an upcoming digital book and that would only be her second one to date. Did mention that Haruka has her own YT channel, she uploaded a video of the photo shoot of it which is after the pics.
