 Had no intentions of doing a post for her today though have been wanting to do something the past month which had never worked out. Am writing this up last night and these days often will do a post and then schedule it to be posted hours later or perhaps the next day such as this one. Which has been working out so well as there has been an increase in posts this year and also to me they're better than ever. However an increase in posts is not what we've been seeing from Risa and I'm kind of worried will these posts be ceasing soon and if so that would honestly take the life out of me. Risa may not be my current number one woman but she's so darn close and may have her ranked #1C, if there wasn't such a decrease in  her activities over the past year she would still be my top woman ever!!!!



 Don't know how it happens but on occasion really get the itch to do a post for someone and that happened about an hour ago with Risa. But really didn't have many new things but that's been the case for a long time now, perhaps over a year and how I've missed doing posts for her as no woman has had more than her since 2019. That year she finished second on the yearly faves list and has never been #1 for a year and it'll never happen. But more importantly Risa did finish number one on my second 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list done thirty months ago and that's the more prestigious honor! 



 Sometimes you just have to do posts for yourself and seems that's become the case for Risa's posts over the last three years. Back in 2019 her posts drew more views than any other woman but her popularity soon nosedived and her posts these days just draw a fraction of what they once did. Which has never stopped me from doing posts for Risa but will admit I have become a bit discouraged about her lack of activities. Risa was in a suspenseful, thrilling drama titled "Black Familia" at the end of 2023, that was one of my top shows for that year and she had such a large role in it. But since then Risa has done zero acting and why(?), on a more important note she also left the Non-no magazine seven weeks ago! Often those departures are called graduations and after being a model with Non-no for close to eight years Risa left them in January and now does zero. Saying zero is sadly no exaggeration as she's doing no modeling, acting, appearing at events or anything else so I have no clue what's up with her. I truly hope the word retirement hasn't crept into her mind as she is still popular though not at the level she was once at, age shouldn't be a factor as she'll just be turning 27 in July.



 Her ex-Nogi mate above is so much less busy these days too but a week ago was able to do a post for her. When you think about it very few Keya graduates have remained in the spotlight and I seldom do posts these days for ex-members save for my two favorites above. So while there are only a handful of newish Risa things this will be a large post, have to realize that new readers constantly check this blog out and may have never heard of someone such as Risa. So while many older things may have been posted before they could be brand new to many visitors but also bet many long time readers have forgotten some very ancient things! Such as older Keya cards and think most of these are new for here, it's almost Spring so have some prehistoric cards for the occasion. Those are the first dozen with the others being ones for Keya's second to fourth singles, those songs came out eight years ago and hasn't time just flown right by?





















 Know I'm a bit late for Valentine's but didn't do a post last month for her, realize I do gush quite a bit about two other massive faves but deep down if there was one woman who makes my blood boil hotter than any other it would be Risa 😍!!!!












 Last weekend was the huge Spring 'Tokyo Girls Collection' fashion show, Risa attended most of those shows from late 2016 to last May. But that was the last time she appeared at an event and that's kind of disappointing to me. In less than two months the Spring 'Girls Award' show will take place but odds are high Risa won't be there for she's not a model for any site or fashion line these days. While there's about eight TGC shows a year there's only two for GA but to me the models look much better at those shows, such as this batch from May 2017 which may have been her first appearance at a 'Girls Award' show.















 On to a set of new pics and did mention that after almost eight years Risa has 'graduated' from the Non-no magazine. Their March issue which came out on January 20th featured her final spread with them and they did make her the cover girl for about he tenth time.










 Those are some fine looking pics above and these days Risa looks so much more classy so why isn't she doing more modeling work? Who knows and at the Non-no site they have some 'clean versions' of the above spread's pics.














 Did bring up earlier how it's nice having encore viewings of older photos as most of you, me also, have forgotten spreads or event pics from over five years ago. So have been adding some older things into posts and will have a pair of Stone Age(!) mag spreads from Risa today, this first one definitely is as it's from volume 14 of BLT Graph that came out in December 2016!










 Slightly newer spread that's from the April 22, 2019 issue of WPB. It featured promo pics for Risa's first photobook, her other was for her May 2022 graduation from Keya.










 We've hit the end and while not enough newish photos I still enjoy posts for her immensely. For the finale will have some overly perfect pics of Risa and have often said she's the most attractive woman in the world to me even though others may have better figures or a prettier face, but from head to toe no one can top her 😍!!!! Of course there's no new videos and will there ever be(?) so after the pics have Risa's final one ever for Non-no and wish it was much longer....
