Rui Takanashi: Her hypnotic Manga Action digital book plus many other savory treats....
There are certain photos I often begin off a post with for some women because they're so darn terrific and figure they would make more viewers check out the post. That top pic is one of those and is one of my all time faves from the group, I can never get tired of gaping at it! Usually when I'm surprised at how many views a post receives it's a case of me being a bit disappointed that those posts weren't more popular. However there has been a small minority of woman who are the opposite and have been pleasantly surprised at how many views those posts have gotten. Right near the top of that list is Rui who I have liked quite a bit for over four years. Didn't expect her solo posts to be all that popular but that hasn't been the case as her previous nine have an average of about a thousand views and that does bring a smile to my face so wish there could be more posts for Rui and her mates. The posts for BababaBambi have slowed down this year but the group is still a fave of mine and after not being too busy for a stretch the group has been more active the past two months.
Rui may not look it but she will be hitting the age of 28 this November, another member will be hitting that age next month. So wonder how long BababaBambi will keep their members as four of the five have been there at least four years, I much prefer J-Pop groups that only have 5-8 members. What a short group they are for even though her height is just 151 cm there's two shorter members, is it me thinking wrongly but doesn't it seem J-Pop Idols have gotten a bit shorter the past five years? At least when her days in BababaBambi come to an end Rui does have something to fall back on as she did graduate from Nara Women's University and think her major was in Mathematics. You can see Rui above doing a bit of cosplaying and that's how she was 'discovered' by the Familia agency, that happened in December 2019 at a Comic Fes and before long she was one of the original members of the group!
Another original BababbaBambi member was Mio 😍 who sadly is no longer there and to say I adore her to no end would be such an understatement!!!! In eight days she'll be hitting the age of 28 so will be working on a birthday post but it may not take place until a few days after her celebration.
Most of BababaBambi's singles have been digital ones, they do have a new single and if I can't find any new videos for her will have that song's PV. A month ago they began their Spring tour and the bottom pics are of the five current members. Group posts have been popular for them but haven't been able to do one of those for a while and they don't do nearly as many group mag spreads or books as they once did. The first few pics are of Rui doing her favorite activity of cosplaying and I really like how she looks dressed up that way but will confess her undressed ways get my blood boiling a bit hotter....
When I can't do posts on a consistent basis for some women try to make ones such as this post much larger than others, if you are a Rui fan this may be your top post for 2025!!! Besides the book have a quartet of magazine spreads, two are recent and hadn't been posted before. The one to begin off the spreads is this set from the December edition of Bubka, am late with this but just got these pics recently and it was promoting a digital book.
Rui's spreads are always top notch so what a shame most aren't larger. The above just had four pages and so doesn't this set from the March 7th issue of Friday.
Bit of a larger Friday spread which is from their May 30th issue, it's promoting a new digital book which would be Rui's first of the year.
Final magazine spread has been posted before but it's so fabulous and huge why not have it again?! Three times Rui had been the cover of a mag but all three were with other BababaBambi members, this set from the November 2024 edition of Young Dragon Age has been her only solo cover to date.
We've hit the end which means the Manga Action digital book and at forty photos it's a mini one. Towards the end of 2024 Rui had three books and this is the final one to be posted, it was released on October 1st so hope her and her BababaBambi mates have some upcoming books and/or spreads. Though the Bubka spread had only four pages there was a ten minute video from the photo shoot and that's after the pics. Now that I think about one of those late 2024 books was with the magazine and that's the reason for such a long video which could be Rui's top one ever!
