Welcome to this Baka's blog on his fave Japanese Pop Culture interests.
Welcome to my humble site....
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 rightplace(!) 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!
Wanted to wait another day or two before doing this post but as usual there wasn't much else to post about but also thought why not do a post on the birthday instead of one slightly after? Birthday posts aren't any different than regular ones but do try to make them a tad larger, that probably won't be the case for today as Nashiko's last post was done just thirteen days ago but there should be over a hundred photos for today. The 'Nao Year' ends on November 30th so odds are very high this will be Nashiko's last post until December and that will be the case for a few other women too. Right after December 1st will start the countdown for this year's faves list, discussed that in the post just below this one. For those that will be making the top ten such as Nashiko try to save any current things for that list post such as new magazine spreads, books, modeling pics, etc. to make that a super duper post.
In that post below this one did mention how Nashiko set a record this year as it's the eighth time she's qualified for the yearly list, six posts in a year are needed. Of the previous seven times she made the cut in four years and the biggest reason she didn't make it the other three years is that Nashiko's posts were very sporadic, three in one month and zero the next two. This year she's been much more consistent so will easily be in my top ten, after the number one spot and possibly the second position I have no clue who will end up where and still have 3 1/2 weeks to think about this year's rankings. Of course I've moaned about how there's been such a decrease in posts the last two years which will sadly be worse in the future. However the amount of posts for my bigger favorites haven't decreased at all, Nashiko has thirteen posts to date this year and three others have more. There's ten women who have a combined total of 132 posts or about a third of the posts done for 2025!!!! Didn't realize that percentage was so high until now, unsure if that % is a good or bad thing?
Have said it many times before about what an unbeatable pace she's on which will never be duplicated here. Nashiko's first post was done on August 30, 2018 so October 30th made it 86 months since that introduction. We're now in the 87th month since Nashiko π began to brighten our days or at least mine, this is now here 87th post so sure most can figure out that monthly average!!!! What are the odds such a pace could continue on for so long, I never tried to do that and it just naturally has happened. There will be a post next month which will bring her total to 88 posts, at one a month it means in December 2026 Nashiko will hit the milestone of a hundred posts and that's only been reached once in the last four years. But it will happen twice next year and there's a chance one other will reach triple digits in 2027 but after that unless I'm here another five years that could be it for those reaching a hundred posts.
She has no worries about that, don't think there's any possibility of me ever saying 'I Don't' to Nashiko!!!! Who for five years was my #1 gravure model but did slip to second place back in early 2023 but the gap has closed this year, she still has more posts than any other model. Thought someone was going to top Nashiko for that honor but now have a strong feeling no one will surpass her, even though she's now thirty in age Nashiko's showing no signs of slowing down. I like almost everything about Nashiko whose main job when I started posting about her was being a Cosplayer and what a popular one she was or should say to an extent she still is. But of course it's gravure modeling which really sent her popularity to such a high level and it'll be nice to see a woman in her thirties doing gravure modeling. There's been a few that have done so over the years but not many, Nashiko still looks as terrific as ever so why not keep modeling until the age of 35 or so?!!!!
I had no plans on what was going to be said in this post, the above just rolled out of my mouth and to me ad-libbing seems to work better than following a script. All of the pics for today will be of Nashiko in her twenties, there will still be some of those in the future and can't wait to see how her gravure photos look two years from now. I bet about the same which means they'll be ultra dazzling! Will begin off with some older birthday pics and four had never been posted before, Nashiko is close friends with the pair in the bottom pic and I like both immensely too but it's been so difficult(impossible!) to do posts for either this year.
Nashiko has always done a superb job at posting pics at her IG page, this batch is from the last thirteen days. Some are brand new so they're the first ones since hitting the age of thirty, you will see many modeling pics from a Christmas photo shoot. The top two are for an upcoming spread for the Parade magazine which is a newish one and Nashiko will be the cover girl for their second issue.
No new magazine spreads for today but Nashiko has at least two coming out this month and will end off with a digital book that had never been seen until this post. So will have a pair of older spreads as I like to have encore viewings of fabulous ones as they often are forgotten about. Nashiko is usually the cover girl when she appears in magazines and bet no other model topped the amount of covers she was on for 2025, this set is from the April 15th issue of Manga Action.
The other spread for today is from the October 28, 2024 edition of Young Magazine and it's a tie-in for the digital book.
Five weeks later, December 8th to be exact, the Young Magazine released this mini book that contains 44 pictures from the above spread's photo shoot. Nashiko's latest digital book came out two weeks ago so will be having that in the near future, she only had one of those books in 2023 but about a dozen these last two years. By a wide margin Nashiko has the best YT channel of anyone I post about, after the pics is a video she uploaded to it from the this book's photo shoot and while there check out her many other sizzling videos!!!!
