Ruka Matsuda: Few recent happenings....
Here's a semi newbie who I like quite a bit and know many others do too, she's been in quite a few films but really just one drama. As I've mentioned a few times before was first introduced to Ruka in the "Kakegurui" drama, the first season of it. Season two finished up at the end of May but as I've also mentioned so far it hasn't been subbed. But the first season wasn't done until it finished it's run so am expecting the same thing to happen again. Plus as one viewer noted it'll be airing on Netflix which will be subbing the show so it'll be a bit of a wait.
Few gravure pics to start off with but Ruka isn't too known for those kinds of pics, reason there's been some recent ones in that vein is because she just released her first photobook. Ruka was also a Kamen Rider gal and was in the 2016 version of the long running series. Haven't seen that one yet but all of those series are worth checking out. But "Kakegurui" is the drama that definitely needs to be checked out and all ten of season one's episodes have been recapped along with many events for the show and film. Ruka plays the daughter of an extremely wealthy father in the show, her character's name is Itsuki who of course lost to Yumeko in a round of betting.
That top pic is a poster for the film that came out on May 3rd. Ruka was at the premiere but hasn't been at two events that have taken place since then but she has been a bit busy. For that film and another movie titled "Toshimaen: Haunted Park" Ruka did a round of interviews which were also for her first PB, these are from the Walker Plus site.
Even more interview pics which are from the Town Work site.
Ruka will be turning 24 in October, even though this is her fifth post didn't realize she hailed from Okinawa as don't a few other of my faves. Title of her first photobook has the simple title of "Ruka" and it came out in May. It did fairly well sales wise as it was on Oricon's top ten list for at least two weeks, the cover and some promo pics from the book.
"Toshimaen: Haunted Park" had it's premiere on May 10th and have some pics here from the event. Besides her there's a few other of my faves who are in the film and as you can tell by the title it's a horror one.
Was just thinking that the competition to appear in mags must be tremendous. There's so many actresses, models and Idols these days vying for a spot in them, often wish my bigger faves appeared in more but it's easy to understand why that doesn't happen. But Ruka does have a pair of them for today with this first set being from the May 3rd edition of Tokyo Walker Plus.
No recent videos that are worth posting so will end off with this set of Ruka pics from the June 4th issue Flash, that top pic is out of this world!
