Aoi Morikawa: A little(lot) of this and that....





 No doubt I'm in the vast minority but I think Aoi is one attractive and interesting gal. Granted she's no starlet or gravure model which is a nice change of pace for here, I really enjoy her unique and down to Earth looks plus she's such a smart and quirky woman. Haven't been many posts for Aoi to date as I confess to forgetting about her at times but can say that about so many of my faves but will have a couple of more posts coming up for her. She may look a bit young in the pics though she isn't that young as she's 23 and her b-day takes place on June 17th every year.
 Didn't realize it until a few moments ago but Aoi has been in seven(!) dramas this year which may be a record, she usually has the lead or co-lead in the shows plus she's been in a pair of films. One reason it's a bit difficult to post about Aoi is that she doesn't appear in many magazines, actually it's rare when she does but she does appear at more events then most actresses do and she's one of the best around. Everything I've seen her in has been an excellent show, if you see she's in the cast of any drama or film then would recommend viewing it.



 Though Aoi has appeared in so few print magazines she does have many 'spreads' for websites and she looks so terrific in the pics. One refreshing thing about her is that she'll never do a gravure spread and wish there were a few more actresses like her who don't do that though there are a few like her I do post about. Have a pair of those web 'spreads' which are a few years old but had never posted them before, this fine set is from December 2015 for the 'It Girls' site which is an interesting place.











 Second set of pics form a website is from November 2016 which are from BLTWeb.






 Do have one warning about Aoi.... never disappoint her on a date... ouch!!!!!!!


 On to some current events and Aoi's current drama is "Bungaku Shojo" which began on September 9th. Have the first two shows but sadly they're not subbed and don't think any group is going to sub it but keeping my fingers crossed it'll happen as it looks to be an okay show. These are some superb interview pics for the show from the Hustle Press site.






 More interview pics which are from the Trill website.





 Those above pics were taken after an event held for the "Bungaku Shojo" show that was held on August 29th. Aoi isn't too short of a gal as her height is 157 cm but she looks that way standing next to her co-star Yuu who you should all remember from the 'SPEC' drama.

















 Am going to restart the "Kakegurui" drama soon, had watched the first two episodes and shortly after that is when my laptop decided to end it's life. First two shows were so interesting and especially Aoi's character of Mary, the series was set at a very elite private high school where the main activity was gambling.






 On August 9th there was an event for the "Kakegurui" series which was for the release of the show on DVD, the drama aired at the beginning of the year. But the big news was the announcement of a second season, no official date has been set but it will be next Spring. There's also going to be a movie of the series, that's another reason I need to start on season one again very soon. Aoi at the event was dressed as her character Mary and her performance on the show was such a treat to watch. Plenty of pics here from the event and also have a video of it following them.
