Manami Higa: Just because I.... 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒂 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒓...

 

 For a long time was using that intro section on the 'My Current Watches' series to talk about various things, the most common was about some huge favorites of mine who had disappeared or hadn't had a post for seemingly eons. Lat November led off one of those posts with Manami 😍 and did that bring back such pleasant memories for up until 2016 she was in the mix as far as being my #1 of all time! So after that post worked on a regular one for Manami and that turned out well, also had a post three months ago where I reposted her tremendous older photobook "Clear". It's not easy at all to do posts for someone such as Manami these days but if I can do one every four months that's a pace I could live with. She 's had many more posts than it shows but had to delete about 25 of them because the pictures were unviewable and that was thanks to the demons at Photobucket.... hope they've gone out of business!

 Whew, there is a reason Manami 😍 was in my top five for so long and was very close to being number one! As far as that group of women who were huge favorites of mine when I began this blog fifteen years Manami is the oldest and on June 14th was the first to hit the age of forty! But she still looks so fabulous and will end off the post with some terrific new event photos. Manami has the lead role in a new drama that began a week ago and it's a show that does pique my interest so if it gets subbed will be checking it out. Manami could easily be dubbed a modern day "Drama Queen" for I don't think any actress has appeared in more than she has the last twenty years. I haven't seen her in a show since 2022 but will be holding out hope her new series will be subbed, I've seen her in fourteen drams, four TV movies and five regular movies. Out of them my favorite was the 2009 drama "Majo Saiban" aka Witch Trials, have viewed it five times but not in many years and guess it's time for view number six!

 Did say Manami 😍 is the first of my huge favorites to hit the age of forty but if I'm still around five to ten years from now that'll be the norm! For there's at least a dozen women who get a decent amount of posts these days that all are 30+ in age plus there's almost a dozen more within three years of hitting thirty. I think women look better the older they get but not an ancient age, more of a case of someone looking better at 32 than they did at 22. Manami doesn't look that different than she did ten or so years ago and she's still single though at a recent event she did say marriage isn't out of the question though she hasn't been dating for years. For today have a mix of some older things along with some terrific recent photos, a problem is that when a woman gets to be above the age of 35 she seldom appears in magazines or does a lot of modeling which makes it difficult to do these kinds of posts.

 Manami is much more popular than you would think here, most of her older posts have well over a thousand views and glad to see she's well liked here. This will be a smallish post or least compared to most I do for there is a possibility of doing another of these next month so am holding back a few things. Manami will be the cover girl for a magazine coming out next week so that'll be a nice start to the post and sure I can dig some other things up such as photos from her IG page for won't have any of them for today. Will begin off with a pair of older magazine spreads that have probably been forgotten about because they were posted so long ago. This first set is from the November 2017 edition of Tokyo Walker Plus and don't even know if they're still publishing these days. If you compare these older pics to how Manami looks there days you will notice she hasn't changed all that much and to me still looks like a few trillion yen!!!!

 The other mag spread is a way too small one with just four pages and is from the March 2020 issue of Tokyo Calendar. Manami hails from Okinawa and moved to Tokyo in 2004 after finishing high school, she's one of the tallest women I post about as her height is 169 cm or close to 66 inches.

 Back in February Manami did an interview with the Storyweb site and also had some fabulous modeling pics for it. Shame there weren't more of these photos which are truly dazzling and she's never been a FT model for any site or clothing line which is kind of surprising considering her beauty. All of the pics are superb with my favorite being the bottom one.

 Manami has three regular photobooks and all are sizzling, kind of surprised she didn't release a fourth book for her fortieth birthday as she still looks so darn alluring! But Manami did release her first ever essay book for her birthday, it was also a slightly belated look back at twenty years in show biz. The book has essays on family, values, work, romance and other topics, there were also some stupendous photos in the book which are below though none were gravure pics.

 On June 14th, her 40th birthday, Manami held an event for that essay book which is titled "See You Again". Of course I'm biased but didn't Manami 😍 look so darn perfect at the event and in all honesty how many women a decade or younger can top her looks????!!!! This ends off this somewhat mini post and after these ultra tremendous photos is a video from the event.
