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...Risa Watanabe... Kyoko Saito... Yui Kobayashi....Miyuki Watanabe.... Nene Shida.... if you're a fan at all of any of them then you've come to the right place(!) but many others are featured here besides them.

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!

Mina Oba: "Honto no imi de Otona ni naru toiukoto" photobook tidbits....



 Now that Mina's first photobook is about to be released I can die a happy man. For years I've been clamoring for a book and there was truly no Idol I wanted to see have a book more than her. But Mina turned 27 back in April so thought her time had passed for having one and to my surprise that wasn't the case, talk about an early Christmas!
 Perhaps one day will have a post for my 'Top Twenty Hottest Idols of All Time', what a difficult list that would be. Think it'd be easy enough to compile the names but figuring out their order would send me to drinking(more). Mina wouldn't take the top spot but would be oh so close, think fourth or so seems like a good spot and perhaps with this PB she could move up at least one position.


 SKE's 25th single comes out in two days, am trying to have a post for the occasion but there hasn't been as much promoting as you would think. So far there's just one new group mag spread but will have something this week for the single. As a few have read recently have ranted a bit about how Nogi has gotten way too young and I'm really turned off by that. What I wonder is how can SKE retain their members while other groups can't.
 As mentioned Mina is 27 but they also have ten other members who are 24 or older, that's a huge reason why I've been a fan of them for so long. The ttile of the new single is "Frustration" and hope you viewers don't feel that way looking at Mina's ultra perfect pics! Do have a recent SKE concert that was streamed and may post a few more pics of it, they do put on a fun performance and more so than any other '48' group.






 Sigh, as usual Mina keeps proving she's not the greatest of bloggers as she never posts enough pics and with the new PB coming out would have expected many more recent ones. But as you can see she did autograph quite a few photobooks, honestly have no clue what the sales estimates are, Mina is popular but not overly so. But to me SKE has the best books though there aren't enough of them but sadly those fabulous books haven't translated into high sales.








 The one new spread for today is from WPB #31. Mina appears in Young Gangan more than any other magazine so am really hoping she'll have a set for them in the next few weeks. The PB is coming out on August 2nd so there should be a post for the event that will be held along with any other new mag spreads or outtake pics from the photobook.







 Have quite a batch of Mina outtake pics from the PB, some are promo ones while a few are from a special site set up for the book. Have the link for the site just above the pics which is an okay one but could be better though it is kind of new. After the pics check out a Young Gangan video from 2018 which hadn't been posted and Mina's videos are truly second to none though there's not enough of them. Come to think of it a DVD from the making of the PB would be a nice surprise.
