Sure there's a few women who may be more deserving but to me that list would be very tiny! Very often this year have mused about some not-quite-massive favorites of mine who may never reach that high level because of lack of posts. And thought if I ever did do such a list of my faves who would be #1 and that would be for women with less than twenty posts. A few times have said so and so would be number one and that's because my decaying memory keeps forgetting things way too often, someone such as Yuria! Who I truly adore to no end and if in the future you can remind me of this post as Yuria 😍 would be my number one gal for those who are not heard from enough here. I did her first post about a decade ago and as I've often said where has the time gone for in less than three months Yuria will be hitting the age of 31 but she's someone who has truly blossomed with each passing year!
If somehow over the years Yuria could have had one more post per year for a total of ten more then I could have seen her squeeze into the third 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list which I'll begin in about five months. I do adore Yuria 😍 more than some others who will be on the list but thought it's not fair to push aside those who have been consistently busy over the years and have four times as many posts. So when I can do a post for Yuria jump at the chance, have about 45 photos that are new for here plus some older ones you may have never seen and they'll add up to be one terrific post! Earlier this year was able to do three posts for Yuria and for the first four months of 2026 she may have been my #1 Queen. But knew those good times wouldn't last as this is Yuria's first post in a little over six months but I can live with four in a year and hopefully can scrape together enough things for a February 11th post as that's when birthday #31 will be celebrated!
Yuria is kind of popular with you readers as most of her older posts have over a thousand views. The three posts for her done earlier this year have an average of 850 views/post so it's nice to see she still has some fans out there or perhaps those posts helped her garner a few new ones. Have a little bit of may things for today that are both new and old, all the posts here are fabulous but this could be my favorite one for November!!!! First off are these recent photos from Yuria's IG page and of course you should know who is with her in the first two pics, Yuria does come from the Nagoya area which is a main reason besides being a long time AKB member was also a semi-FT member of SKE.
Yuria graduated from AKB/SKE in September 2017 or about five months before her 22nd birthday. It's not that she made a mistake in leaving but think it may have been wiser to remain with one or both groups for a while longer as it did take a while for her solo career to get into gear but least she has had steady work compared to most other Idols. This next batch are some 2016 cards from AKB/SKE as that was Yuria's last FT year with the groups and think all of these may be new for here. There were plenty of older X-Mas cards which have also never been posted but think it's a bit too early for those.
In this episode Yuria played the role of Masae Noro who went to the Cheat team for help and they would try to solve cases of those who were swindled which the police couldn't or wouldn't try to solve. Masae claimed she was swindled out of 3 million yen by a scam fortune telling site and later on in the episode said another similar site did the same thing to her, could the talented team solve the case and get her money back?! What made this the best episode of the series was that Masae was actually the scammer and was doing so to the Cheat team, soon their bank accounts were cleaned out! For Masae had borrowed the cell phone charger of someone on the team and secretly switched it with a duplicate, that charger both hacked into the team's computer system and was also a bug so their conversations were recorded! That wasn't Masae's plan to do all of that but a young police detective named Anzai who hated the Cheat team and wanted to bring them down! So I do recommend this series highly and especially this episode, Yuria also made a mini appearance in the tenth and final episode.
Will end off with some overly alluring and sparkling pictures from Yuria's third photobook "Updating" which was released on March 25th and will this sadly be her final set of gravure photos? It's not overly exciting but least Yuria 😍 looks quite fabulous in it and that's the video after the pictures which is from the above event.
