Haruna Kojima: 2017 Magazine scans #2 plus more....



 Haruna's post yesterday was immensely popular as it's already the second most viewed post of the week. Had I known she still had that many fans out there wouldn't have been such a long gap between posts, in the future will keep everyone updated with all of her activities. Actually thought Haruna's popularity would have been on the wane since her AKB graduation, seems to me the members aren't nearly as well liked as they were five years ago and include me in that group that are no longer huge fans.


 Haruna was the center for her last AKB single which was "Shoot Sign", just her second solo turn at being a center with her other one being "Heart Ereki" from 2013. Haruna has an AKB record which may never be broken as she was a Senbatsu member on 46 singles(!), she also holds the record for being the oldest member as she was 29 on the date of her graduation.
 That graduation date was last April 19th which was also Haruna's b-day. Guess there is one current member who could come close to beating those two records but she would have to stay a member for at least 2 1/2 years. Seeing as there was only two Haruna posts last year never did have any pics from the day of her departure which took place at the AKB Theater, these are from a mini ceremony after her last concert at the venue.

















 Haruna has been an exclusive model for Maquia since 2010 though she doesn't appear in every monthly mag. Searched for some pics of her with another model from the same mag but no luck with that but do have a few current pics form their site.






 Once again  have four mag spreads and think there's only two more to go for 2017. May as well stay with Maquia and this first set is from their May edition.







 Haruna, like most of their models, doesn't dress too skimpy in their spreads but face wise think she looks so much better as it's more of a makeup magazine/site. On to the second spread and once again Haruna graces a cover which is from the June 27th issue of SPA!.






 No cover for this spread but looking oki doki in volume #19 of WPB. As you can see it's kind of a 'trip down memory lane' pictorial.









 Final set is from the November 10th edition of Friday. Yesterday's post had Haruna's new CM for Uniglo, have it again after the pics but this version also includes a short behind the scenes segment.
