Risa Watanabe: Just because I.... 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒂 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒓 number.... too many to count!!!!

 

 Quite often in the last year or so have begun off a post with that heading or one very close to it but this is the first time in quite a long while. On occasion would have some woman pop into my head for really no reason though perhaps it was some sort of premonition and the Gods were saying I had to do a post for the woman that day! And many times would luck out as there would be many new pics and news so that post ended up being quite a terrific one. That won't be the case for today, while all of the photos are certainly beyond perfect there's very few new things or news for her dwindling fan base....

 Earlier in the day just had the urge to do a post for Risa 😍 and glad I had that as there may not have been another post for today. This is her first since late July when she celebrated her 26th birthday so over two months is a bit of  along time for no posts. That's because no woman had more posts than Risa did for the prior six years which is one reason she was my #1 woman of all time 😍 on the list done two years ago, she held that honor for about 3 1/2 years. These days I would rank her IB as a Keya mate has overtaken her for being my all time Queen though 1B is slightly better than being number two and can the top spot be attained again?

 Of course being #1 could easily happen for Risa 😍 who I adore more than anyone else but she needs to start becoming busy again. There isn't that much time to go in 2024 yet to date the only things she's dine is appear at three fashion shows and do some modeling for Non-no. I can't think of one other thing she has done for the year and was thinking that Risa would continue on with her acting as it was a year ago her "Black Familia" drama was airing and what a superb series that was. However there has been no roles this year and actually 2023 wasn't all that busy either so am wondering if slowing down with activities is her choice as she does remain popular.... but not here!

 But it's not just her as it seems so many J-Pop Idols who left their groups from 2018-22 have become so quiet. I notice things such as that for I was able to do so many posts for my favorites and there never seemed to be a shortage of posts up until this year for ex-Idols which is something that can no longer be said. Wonder why that is, perhaps it's because many are now thirty or older, a few have gotten married, some have retired or do other activities that fly under the radar but the biggest reason for so many of my or your faves disappearing is that the market is so oversaturated with ex-Idols.

 Don't have a lot of new things for today so needed to chatter on for a while above to stretch things out. Risa does have a fan club and will be having an anniversary event on November 10th. Because of that club she rarely posts photos at her IG page these days so have zero for this post. Halloween isn't a fave holiday for her either as this is it for pics for the quasi-holiday but there's no doubt she certainly is a treat for many of us!

 It being Autumn have some older Keya cards for the season. Since the name change to Sakura they don't have a regular card series and only have ones for their singles plus the occasional graduation. The top ones are the final Keya cards before they changed their name which took place four years ago.

 One thing I have never posted yet is Risa's graduation photobook that was released in May 2022. Reason for not having done the post is that I don't have the book but think I may be able to obtain it soon. Even though photobooks don't sell nearly as well as they did five years ago they do often sell out quickly for not as many are published so actually if you wait a while before ordering you can easily get shut out from getting it.

 While some of the older photos for today are new for here as mentioned a few times there's been very few recent pics for 2024. The only consistent thing has been modeling pics for Non-no and Risa has been a model for them since 2017. Do have a good amount of terrific new pics from their site but why hasn't she been working with other sites and magazines?

 On October 19th the Autumn 'Girls Award' show will be held and that's the largest fashion show of the year. However noticed that Risa isn't scheduled to attend and that's very rare for her not to be at a huge show but she wasn't at the last TGC one either. Many current members from Keya and Hina will be at the upcoming show so perhaps can finally do a post for a few gals. This ultra extraordinary set of pics is from the 2018 Spring 'Girls Award' show that was held on May 19h, some have been posted before but also a few of the pics are new for here.

 Of course have no new magazine spreads for today so have to feature an encore viewing of an older set and this one is from the March 18, 2019 issue of Young Magazine. Granted I wish new spreads could be in posts for everyone but it's not a negative having these older sets as I bet many have never seen this one before or if you have probably forgot all about it.

 I have so many mag spreads of her and you can't believe how many of them Risa had from 2018-21, too many to count and she was often the cover girl. So it could be worth checking out her older posts as there's so many fabulous things you may never see again. Plus those posts could use some views as she has lost so much of her fan base here over the last three years. Will end off with some assorted perfect pics of Risa, sure many of you have seen them but some could be new to a few viewers. While some women may be more bodacious and prettier have been saying for almost five years how in my eyes she's the most attractive woman of all time!!!! 😍 Of course there's no new videos but after the pics have for the third time a video from Mecha that came out exactly five years ago. When you watch it you'll see why I have viewed it too many times to count(!) and her close mate will be having her 25th birthday post near the end of the month..... there's a few other Keya members featured and the video was before the name change.
