Rui Takanashi: Her stupefying Friday magazine digital book though....

 

 .... not too much else. However there are close to eighty new photos for today along with an older mag spread or two so all in all it will be a large post though not as much variety as the one below this. A personal record was set for Rui as this makes it the first time she's ever had two posts in one month, the other was done twenty days ago. It's also her tenth solo one which does pale in comparison to most others but seven have come in the last thirteen months so that's not a bad pace and wish her other BababaBambi mates could have a pace similar to that.

 As many long time visitors know I really like the members from BababaBambi though my #1 gal did leave about a year ago. The group and solo posts have slowed down here for them but they are a busy group and have concerts lined up until November, they also released a digital single on May 14th. Think they hit their peak in March 2024 when they headlined a Budokan concert, an average show for them often takes place in venues that hold a thousand fans, give or take a few hundred. This October Rui will be hitting the age of 28 and how much longer will she be with the group(?), another member hits that age in two weeks. Rui does have a college degree that's a combo of Linear Algebra and Polymer Science, not sure what the second subject is about but I am impressed with that degree. 

 I've always been surprised how popular Rui's previous nine solo posts have been but why shouldn't they be as she is kawaii to the Nth degree and also has a few other admirable assets! Only have a few other things besides the book and this first batch of recent photos is from her IG page. None of Rui doing any cosplaying which is her favorite activity, you'll also see a few pics of Rui with her four BababaBambi mates and even though she's just 151 cm in height there's two members shorter!

 No brand new magazine spreads so how about an ultra terrific one from a year ago?! Sounds like a solid idea and it's nice to have encore viewings of older things such as this spread, sometimes a problem can be such fabulous sets such as this one tend to be forgotten as time goes on plus I bet many may not have seen this spread. Which is from the May 20, 2024 issue of WPB, Rui may not have as many spreads as other Idols but hers are usually quite large and are more dazzling than most gals!

 Do have one other Rui spread today which is a mini one from the March 7th issue of Friday and was promoting the digital book.

 On to the book which the Friday magazine released on February 20th. Don't plan it that way but tend do get most of these books a month or two after they've been released and there's been a huge shortage of these lately for most gravure models and Idols. But not for Rui who has had four books since last Autumn and this set contains 59 photos. Rui doesn't have many gravure videos as there were none for this book or above spreads, there also isn't a PV for BababaBambi's last single. But they've reactivated their YT page and after the scorching photos is a video for their fifth anniversary that took place close to three months ago. The venue the show took place in is the normal size for their concerts, unlike '46/48' groups smaller ones like BababaBambi usually sing live and I much prefer seeing shows where the members don't lip sync.
