Hajimemashite minna san....welcome to my site on my fave Japanese Pop Culture likes such as dramas, movies, magazine scans, promo events etc. Mainly concentrate on my faves...Risa Watanabe... Miku Tanaka... Yui Kobayashi....Miyuki Watanabe.... Nene Shida.... if you're a fan at all of any of them then you've come to the right place(!) but many others are featured here besides them. Do mainly quick reviews on things I've watched, try to make the reviews brief, quick to read through with not too many spoilers, just whether they're good or bad and why I thought so plus whether you may find them enjoyable. Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available. Hope you find something that interests you, don't hesitate to comment, arigato gozaimasu!

Aika Kobayashi: Her winsome first photobook "Aika" scans....

 


 What makes this post semi special and historical is that we have a first and it may never be duplicated.... call Guinness!!!! Of course there's many women who share the same first name and also last name but there's no pair who share both names, that's what isn't special about this post. There's also some who share the same birthday but only two were born in the same day and year. What we haven't had until today is are a pair of women who have the same last name and birthday though in different years. Would think by now all observant viewers know that the Kobayashi I'm referring to is Yui 😍 and she's in a virtual tie for being my all time woman! What are the odds two Kobayashis would share the same birthday but they do, that date is OCTOBER 23RD!!!! Yui was born in 1999 so will be hitting the age of 26 in a little over two months, meanwhile Aika will be celebrating her 32 birthday. Did notice there aren't many other similar things but will try to find a few for her next post. EDIT: Makes me wonder if anyone else on this planet had noticed those similar things or if I'm an oddity....

 By next post mean for Aika and she's not a newbie here but this is her first solo post. She's a member of the voice acting troupe Aqours which consists of nine women. This is the third post this month for a member and will have even more coming up, did mention Aika's name and had photos of her in previous group posts. She's been a singer since 2011 when she was seventeen in age, in 2015 she joined Aqours as a voice actress. Aika hails from Kanagawa prefecture, with a height of about 157 cm Aika isn't too tall but is for a voice actress. As many have noticed I'm preferring these kinds of posts for older voice actresses versus youngish(20-23) gravure models, think I have another five books to post. This is a terrific book and so haven't the other recent ones been but the upcoming books will be more popular with you viewers as they have gravure photos and this one doesn't.



 "Aika" is the simple title of this book which was released on December 11, 2018, a year later a web version came out but don't know if it's entirely different. If so will post that version and photobook #2 came out in April 2022, this book is superb but that second book is so much better! For this book Aika was 25 in age though the photo shoot probably took place before her October 23rd birthday. Aika traveled to Taiwan for the photo shoot and while there are no gravure pics doesn't she look so fabulous(?!), especially in the shorts she's wearing in the first pic. Will have more Aika bio info in her next post and won't be stopping there with Aqour posts as it'd be nice to have a few group ones but they don't do as many activities together as they once did, least appearing in concerts. Aika is kind of a popular singer as two of her singles have made the top ten and also three albums have reached the top 25 for sales. Like her Aqours mates Aika does too many activities to list, will keep this series for voice actress books going for a few more weeks and it's up in the air right now whose book will be next.
