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...Yui Kobayashi... Miku Tanaka... Nagi Inoue....Maria Makino.... 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!
Not too large of a post but have had one for every day this month and wanted to keep that streak alive though there won't be a post Friday as I take the final day of a month off. As the title says this makes it 99 posts for Nashiko, her first one was done almost exactly eight years ago so she's averaged over a dozen posts in that period of time. She and the woman in the post below this one are in a battle with who has had the most posts since this date in 2018, I'd say it's close to being a tie but Nashiko will soon pull ahead. Hitting a hundred posts doesn't happen often, it did this past March and before that was in June 2025, then you would have to go back four years for the previous woman to hit a hundred. After Nashiko hits that semi-milestone think only three others will be doing so, one has an outside chance of doing it this year. That's Minami who graduated from Nogi a few months back, she's at 96 posts and she should have another within the week. At 93 posts is Haruka F and she will hit triple digits but it may take over a year for that to happen as her posts have been decreasing but it will happen. The other one I'm confident about is Miku Tanaka who is sitting at 66 posts but all have come since October 2022 so if she continues at that pace the Summer of 2028 is when she should reach a hundred posts. Then that could be it for triple digit women and perhaps I did overlook a woman or two, in a way hope I did.
From 2021 to mid 2024 Nashiko's posts did come in bunches, say five in three months and then zero for the next two. But she's on a long streak right now as this makes it ten consecutive months with a post and if I can do one for August then September will make it a whole year of monthly Nashiko posts! Had been planning to post her sizzling second regular photobook on August 1st but would much rather wait another month for that, I always wait at least three months before posting photobooks and often a bit longer than that. I want Nashiko's hundredth post to be a goodie and be like this one with a lot of variety so will be working on that for August and think(hope) that will work out nicely. When Nashiko released her photobook in April she had been in a semi-slowish period or a mini vacation but seems to be back FT now and in just a little over three months will be celebrating her 31st birthday.... but still is hotter than most models and Idols a decade younger!
Let's get to things and first up are these photos from Nashiko's IG page, a good amount for a month but not as many as usual. The first few are for the next issue of Dolce and Nashiko will be their cover girl, she also has a digital book coming out with them.
On occasion Nashiko has also done regular modeling but hadn't done so for a while. That changed a few months back as she's become a model for the Klamane clothing line, had some pictures from their site in her last post and have Nashiko's latest modeling photos below.
"Musubi" is the title of Nashiko's second official photobook but she's had about fifty digital ones. The book was released on April 22nd and expect the post for it to be on September 1st, do have a few savory photos to whet your appetite.... for the PB Nashiko traveled to Catalonia, Spain for the photo shoot.
Only have one new magazine spread for today so will have an encore version of an earlier one this year which is from the February 27th issue of Young Animal. I really adore Nashiko more with reddish hair and she does too as she kept that style for a while but not long enough as Nashiko's back to her original color which is also quite oki-doki.
Will end off with this brand new spread from the July 27th edition of Young Magazine. It's not a large spread as the bottom four were pictures from the photo shoot but once again Nashiko was the cover girl for a magazine and it's rare when she isn't. Nashiko has her own YT channel and uploads so many scorching videos from her photo shoots. There's one for this mag after the pictures and while long at twenty minutes is of course a must watch!
