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... Kyoko Saito... 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!
Am so glad I was able to figure out how to use that feature that allows a blogger to set when a post will be published. At times am a bit busy and can't do posts for a day or two, so when I did get the time you would see 2-3 posts in a day. Now I can space those posts out to publish every twenty hours or so and while it may not mean many more posts there shouldn't be long gaps between them. That title is right on the money as to me no one deserves more posts yet can you believe this is only her second of the year? Not much I could have done about it and what's hard to understand is the thinking behind the decisions of the management for the three '46' groups. Someone such as Haruka is so popular and I think has the best selling photobook from the past three years but she seems to have been buried to a slight extent and why would that be? I have no clue and know you viewers miss her as she was the most popular woman here for 2023.
I too adore Haruka 😍 to no end and in a perfect world she would be in the running to be my #1 woman of all time(!) as that's how highly I think of her plus isn't she such an underrated beauty? Oh well, sadly can't change things and have talked a few times about a group of women who I like immensely but never do well on lists because they have so few posts. Haruka would be near the top of that list and least her last post was somewhat recent as it was done in September. This will be a large post but am holding back a few things as I would like to have a post next month for her, was thinking around Christmas and wouldn't mind seeing her as a stocking stuffer....
Haruka is slowly getting up there in age, her last post was for her 23rd birthday but did that post a month after the occasion. Let's get right to things and will begin off with some recent pics from her IG page, she also posts then at the Nogi group blog. She and a few others do post many photos but before 2020 was the hey day for members posting pics.
Since April 2021 Haruka has been a host for the 'School of Lock' radio show that airs on Tokyo-FM. Four J-Pop Idols have a show and Nogi has always had a member be a host and they will host one week a month though to me it seems she's been doing two weeks a month. Here's some pics from last month's shows and 3 1/2 years is one of the longer stretches for a member to be hosting the show so wonder how much longer Haruka will be doing it?
Those first few pics above were from Halloween and have even more from years gone by, many of these were posted a year ago but do have a few newish ones mixed in.
For a long time Haruka was a model for the More magazine, at their site she had some overly tremendous photos. But that gig ended in August 2023 and isn't it baffling that no other site or magazine has signed her up to be a model? To me it is and perhaps I'm biased for she just may be the most attractive current Idol 😍 or at least in my eyes! At one time Haruka used to appear in a decent amount of magazines but those have really slowed down this year, not just for her but most other Idols. Think this was in her last post but why not have it again as it is so terrific and she was the cover girl for the September 25th issue of Weekly Shonen.
Will end off with a rarity which are some event pics and because she's not a model for magazine or site you never see her at those large fashion shows. On October 25th Haruka and two mates were at an event for Dip Ai which is a part time job service app and site. Can't recall the name but for years Nogi worked with another job company and positive it began with a B. The event was also to promote a new CM that the trio appeared in along with another three celebs who were at the event. Plenty of superb pics below and it's okay Haruka wasn't dressed all that alluring but it was supposed to be the attire she would wear at her PT job. In another rarity there's a video of the event and that seldom happens for Nogi members, it's after the pics and in the video is the new CM. PS: As you can see below Minami was also at the event and she is overdue for a post so will be working on one....
