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!
As I was saying a few days ago the posts for Nogi graduates has really slowed down the last year or so, even for Mai 😍 who had seven last year but that was her lowest total since 2020. So while this should be a large post there aren't too, too many new pics though do have a recent mag spread which has been the top one from anyone these last few months. Will try to do another post tomorrow but undecided what it will be and then may need to take a few days off to hopefully settle my housing crisis. If I can get that done then what a load it would be off my mind and can go back to concentrating more on this blog.
There aren't many more superlatives I can throw at Mai 😍 which haven't been used before, as I've said numerous times if I could choose one woman out of everyone here to be my girlfriend she would easily walk away with that honor! However Mai still isn't my number one woman of all time yet, in the 2022 list for my top twenty of all time she finished in the 12th position. That list was completed about 2 1/2 years ago and if I did one today Mai would be in the fifth spot so that's a huge increase, also moving way up is the woman in the post below this one.
Whew, that above is one of the top photos ever and I really should do some sort of Nogi list as it's been eons since one was done. Have a couple in mind such as breathtaking pics like that above one, perhaps a list for my favorite photobooks and of course one would be for my top members so let me work on that but there wouldn't be any for a little while. Mai would take the #1 spot for being my top member, as fabulous as her second photobook was don't think it would make the top five for Nogi has had too many sweltering books over the years to count! So while not a huge amount of new pics this will still be a large post as there are some oldies that have never been posted before. Plus do have some pics that have been posted before but bet haven't been seen my many viewers as Mai's posts have only been so-so popular over the years and no current or graduated Nogi member has had more since 2020.
As I've been saying for at least five years no woman has ever beaten Mai out for having the best legs 😍 and no one ever will, whew!!!! January 22nd is the official date for birthday #33 and am writing this up a day early. Below are some older birthday pics though the first she posted at her IG page two days ago and one other fave Nogi member also has a birthday on the 22nd....
Speaking of IG photos Mai doesn't post many these days and instead has them at her fan club page which makes sense and think she may be having a party in a few days for the club's members.
Two of those above pics are from the photo shoot for a new mag spread that will be near the end. For ex-Idols often have older monthly group cards for the current month so of course below are Mai's for January which have the fewest of any month though 31 is still quite a few.
It being so late in January odds are high there won't be a Mai post for February though will still work hard on having one as I can never get tired of doing these for her! So in case there is no post have another batch of cards which are for Valentine's Day and if I could have one wish....
Sure many have noticed there have been quite a few posts over the last 3-4 months featuring some of my older all time faves. Many are still busy these days but when you're 40+ in age you seldom see them at events, doing regular modeling and of course none do any gravure work these days. Besides Mai there's four others here who are thirty and older who still get posts on a consistent basis but I wonder how long will it be going on for? I think Mai and the four others look better than ever these days and as I've said many times with me getting older I prefer slightly older women and in a few years you may see twenty or more 30+ in age who get posts. Did say earlier in the post it would be large though may hold off on some things so her next post could be done sooner. So will skip any of Mai's semi older modeling pics and have a trio of fabulous magazine spreads, two are older and one is brand new. First will have the pair of oldies with this first one being from the January 2016 issue of EX-Taishu, Mai turned 24 that month but was 23 in age for the photo shoot.
Bit of a newer spread as this is from the June 2022 edition of Tokyo Calendar, it was Mai's first spread after graduating from Nogi that February.
In Mai's last post done about a month ago had some pics from a mini event to promote her 2025 calendar but at the time wondered why there was no magazine spread to promote it. That's because the spread just came out last week and Mai is the cover girl for the January 30th issue of Big Comic Spirits. It's the third time she's been the cover girl of the magazine to promote her yearly calendar and though not a true gravure mag spread it could Mai's her top one ever, is she so ultra alluring or what?! 😍 Hmmm, guess that could be considered a rhetorical question....
Will end of with some overly pics of Mai 😍 perfection and though not my #1 woman of all time would say she's been my second favorite over the last four years.... what legs she has!!!! Mai still hosts two radio shows and attends the odd event here and there but would like to see an increase in her activities, there's been no acting for ten months but she's had the lead role in four stage plays. After the pics is a video for the above BCS spread, it's not a gravure one but darn close and it just may be her top video of all time!!!!
