Kazusa Okuyama: A little bit of this and that....
Did say a second time that I would be taking a day off to view and write up recaps for the 'Secretary' drama. But have been zooming through it and should finish the mini project two days early hence had a bit of spare time for this post. Actually could have taken a few days off as there hasn't been too much going on for my faves but then again that sometimes means I need to work harder.
Kazusa is a huge fave of so many here as her posts have been among the most popular ones for this past year, hard to believe then that this is only her 13th one. On that mini faves list done a few days ago placed Kazusa in the 19th position for my 2019 faves, she has slipped a bit compared to last year but still has time to make her move. Just a tad disappointed that Kazusa has done very little acting since the 'Lupinranger' series ended six months ago. At the time she was hotter than hot as far as popularity goes, it's one time a mini break wasn't advisable.
Kazusa released her first photobook back in March, two days after she turned 25 and it did well sales wise as it was in Oricon's top ten list for at least three weeks. After that is when she took a break but actually there has been some happenings the past three months but as usual overlooked a fave of mine. Kazusa is just a so-so blog and Instagram poster as she just has these five pics since June, as you can see she's now a radio host for the J-Wave show.
Kazusa is also doing a bit of work for TV-Tokyo though for the moment she's not on any of their regular programs or newscasts. But they did have her appear on their special 'Nana Marina' show and the resort house is located in Kamakura. It was a short series of programs which began on July 9th but has already ended. Here's the link to an interview for the show which is where these pics are from....... https://www.tv-tokyo.co.jp/plus/lifestyle/entry/2019/019769.html
Kazusa has always seemed like an athletic gal to me and she does show the form of an ace pitcher. On May 29th she threw out the first pitch at the Rakuten Golden Eagles game at the Sports Park field. She hails from Aomori and there's really no close pro team to her hometown.
Did mention a photobook at the top, think most of these may have been posted before but these are some promo/outtake pics from the PB.
On to a trio of mag spreads and two of them are older sets, didn't overlook them but Kazusa's last post was three months ago. First set is from the May 15th issue of Friday.
Kazusa appears so often in the WPB magazine, this set is from edition #22 and she's also done a few mini pictorials for them.
These three pics are from the next spread's photo shoot....
.... which is from the July 29th issue of Young Magazine and Kazusa is their cover girl. After the pics is a must watch video of the photo shoot.
