Riho Takeda: A little bit of this and that....
Fifth post for Riho and the first that mainly has recent photos and news. Those first four mostly had magazine spreads and digital books from 2022, at the age of 28 Riho decided doing a lot of gravure modeling would give her career a boost and guess it worked as she has been a busy actress. She was before 2022 but getting more exposure(in more ways than one!) has meant larger roles and after 2 1/2 years without any gravure pics Riho has returned to that kind of modeling and just released her second photobook, think she has another digital book coming out too. Of course I'm like most men and you readers as I enjoy gaping at gravure photos but there's a lot of women I do posts for that very rarely if ever have those kinds of photos. The women who will be in the third and eighth positions on this year's faves list haven't had any scantly clad pictures for at least two years and in a way I prefer doing those kinds of posts though also ones such as this post. Voice actresses often don't dress too skimpy yet bet I've done thirty posts for them this year and I like doing posts for them over any kind of women these days.
Am not sure how much longer we'll be seeing Riho continue with gravure modeling but why not for a while longer? Riho's 31 in age and truly does look better than ever, sure many of you readers have noticed some recent posts of gravure models 28+ in age and aren't they also looking better than they ever have?! To me they do and it doesn't matter if Riho doesn't have any more digital books after her next one as long as she has things to post about. She does a lot of regular modeling but has rarely appeared in magazines doing non-gravure photo shoots. So will just wait and see what happens in the future, am really hoping these posts can continue on a regular basis. You viewers are hoping so too as Riho's first four posts have all been very popular, all four hit the section for 'Most viewed posts of the last thirty days' and would think this one would too.
WOWOWOWOWOW!!!! That pic right above is from Riho's second photobook and don't tell me she doesn't look better than ever! Or better than almost all women a decade younger, the amount of women who I do posts for that are younger than 25 is dwindling rapidly while the the group that are 28+ in age has steadily been rising. Have a little bit of many things for today with this first batch being recent photos from Riho's IG page and she doesn't post all that many though I think her laid back and mature look is hard to top!
Don't know if you can tall in the photos but Riho is a tallish woman as her height is 167 cm or a little over 65 inches. Realize that's not ultra tall though compared to J-Pop Idols that height would make her the center on their basketball teams! On November 26th Riho released her second photobook "Sosho" aka Sketch in English, book #1 came out in October 2022. For the photo shoot Riho remained in the Tokyo area and the publisher couldn't pay for a trip to Guam or Hawaii?!!!! The first pic below is the cover of the book and the others are some outtake/promo photos.
The book came out in November 26th and on that day Riho held an event for it at the Kodansha bookstore in Tokyo. Riho's main career is being an actress and she's appeared in so many dramas the last two years so guess doing all of that gravure modeling in 2022 has paid off. What we need to see more of is her at events for I haven't noticed Riho appearing at many over the years though then again I may not have looked hard enough....
Riho was a model for the Non-no magazine from April 2014 until December 2019, to me their modeling pics are usually so superb and so many of my other faves have been a model for them. Below are some older pics from 2018/19 at their site, at the time Riho was 24/25 in age and will have plenty of more of these in future posts.
Have three magazine spreads but am going to hold back one so there can be a head start to Riho's next post. This mini spread is from the October 17th issue of Friday, that bottom pic you saw above and that's turning into one photo I can't get enough of! The spread I'm holding on to is from the current issue of Friday and she's their cover girl.
And the final set for today are these sweltering pics from the July 21st issue of WPB, they did label it as a mini book but it only had fourteen photos. Neither of Riho's two spreads had a video from the photo shoot so will go back to March 2022 for a Young Jump video that's after the pics. It was one of Riho's first ever gravure videos and she really doesn't have all that many of them.
