Hiroe Igeta: Her extremely overdue first intro post....
And she'll make a toast to this first ever post! Did say I was going to hold off on introductions for a while but will make this one exception. That's because as the title says this is an extremely overdue one as back in April said I would be doing some posts for Hiroe, as is my norm with my tiny brain within a few days forgot all about her.
But not forever though as something jogged my memory and it's a good thing as she seems like a gal many of you will enjoy. Hiroe is another young actress though not too young as she turned 22 back in February. She's been a busy person this year so think there may be another 2-3 posts for her 2019 happenings, not sure if I'll be going back before this year with her activities. Back in 2013 Hiroe won an award at 'Miss Teen Japan' from Samantha Thavasa but put her career on hold for a while. What she did was to attend college and received a degree from Waseda University, two of the other recent newbies also went to school there.
That April post was for a movie premiere, Hiroe didn't have the lead role but the second biggest female part in the film. The star has become on of my bigger faves this year and really hope she doesn't need an introduction....
Title of the film was "Shigatsu no Kimi, Supika" which had it's premiere on April 5th and seems someone couldn't leave Hiroe alone....
Didn't plan it but seems so many of the newbies lately have been tall woman. Hiroe fits in that group as her height is 170 cm, bet she's been the fourth new gal recently with a height in that range and actresses do tend to be much taller than Idols. Can't say she's the most impressive person when it comes to updating her blog or Instagram account but seems to be busier lately when it comes to that, the top pic features one of Nao's all time Idols and guess she's overdue for a post too.
Hiroe is also a model and that makes sense with her charming looks. She is an exclusive one for More and have new pics from their site, don't know if she's also a model with other mags but will check that out for her next post.
As you may have deduced those bottom two pics aren't from the More site and are instead two promo ones for the upcoming "Kamen Rider: Masked Rider Zero One" which begins in September. In the show Hiroe will be playing the character of Valkyrie, that's the name of Kamen Rider character while in the show during her non-hero activities she'll be known as Yua. Have seen four of those series and all were good but it is difficult watching fifty episodes. On July 17th there was a press conference to introduce the cast.
There's not a huge amount of Hiroe mag spreads so need to space them out, fine set here though a bit too small from Young Jump #25.
Final spread is much bigger though and Hiroe does look so superb in this batch from WPB #30. Seems like pics in this vein are usually to promote a photobook but that's not the case, to date she hasn't released one. No recent videos but after the pics have a short promo one that came out in February for Alphapia which makes women's office suits.
