Rena Takeda: The belated yet astonishing 'Happy 22nd Birthday' post....



 Three days late isn't bad as I didn't think there was even going to be a post. But managed to scrap together enough recent happenings to please her many fans. And many fans is what Rena has here as according to you viewers she's the third most popular woman I post about, she's probably held that position since her first post. Keep thinking that there hasn't been enough Rena posts this year but checked and this is already her ninth one though two were for 2018 pictorials.
 Has been a bit of a quiet stretch since May but Rena was in four(!) dramas at the beginning of the year, perhaps she felt a break as needed and very few have been as busy as she has since 2016. What is a bit disappointing is that I think she closed down her Line blog. Was at it just a few minutes ago and she hasn't done any entries since April. That was always a good place to get some pics and learn about her current activities, wonder why it's no longer active?


 Birthday #22 took place on July 27th but on the 15th there was a special party held at the Tokyo Hall which I think was open to all of her fan club members.










 Actually that bottom pic is from last year. It's easier to do 'pairs posts' for Idols such as the members of Nogi because the gals do so many things together. It's almost impossible to do one for actresses or gravure models as they're always around a different group of people. However did some searching for a few of Rena's friends and did find a few and these top pics certainly rate an A+. She used to be a model for Non-no but it was only for a year, these are pics from 2017 and sure you know who she's teamed up with. Don't know who the third gal is but she looks mighty fine too but doubt if she'll have any posts.




 Rena is pals with my top two current faves but couldn't find a pic of her with the other person who is battling for this year's top spot.





 Of course that's Marie above and the pair did star in the two seasons of the 'Maji' drama. The other gal battling for the top spot is Risa who actually has been my #1 for about five or so months now. The pair both have their birthday on July 27th and know they celebrated together....



 Hmmmm, wish I could comment about the above conversation but some things are better left unsaid. But to my surprise have learned about who her best buddy is which will shock some others too. It's Hinako who is such a huge fave of mine, hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings too much but in all honesty may like her mate better....






 There was a 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show that took place on the 27th but Rena wasn't in attendance, would have been the perfect venue for a birthday bash. Yesterday though she was at a special 'TGC Teen Summer' show that was held at the Shinkiba Studio Coast Hall and have a feeling she's immensely popular with the teen gals.











 The biggest slowdown this year has been with mag spreads, obviously it's her decision as so many mags must be clamoring for Rena to appear in their issues. Have a pair of them for today and she's the cover girl for this first set which is from the August 1st edition of Young Jump.











 Second spread is another terrific set of pics and is from the August 9th Friday. No recent videos but do have a must watch one from April that was for an earlier 2019 WPB photo shoot.
