Rena Takeda: Few recent happenings and her last gravure spread?
That top pic is a clean version of a one that's in the spread that's at the bottom of this post. Last week Rena made a surprising announcement in that she won't be doing any more gravure spreads after this latest one. She has really slowed down on them this year but to retire from doing any more at the young age of 22? Wonder if she's just referring to doing those spreads for the WPB magazine as most of her gravure sets appear in that mag. Rena has been concentrating more on her acting career and does look superb in regular spreads but gravure pics are what's made her so popular.
We'll see what happens, can understand Rena getting tired of dressing so scantily but perhaps she does needs a breather from them for a while. Will always post about her regardless of what kinds of pics she has but know most viewers much prefer pics like these at the top and she certainly is one of the most popular women I post about. Not many different things to post about today but bet there's about 65 pics which all fans should enjoy. Rena used to have a Line Blog but stopped posting on it a few months back which is a shame as she always had some good info on her activities. But she's been posting many more pics on her Instagram page and many of them are out of this world.
Least the bottom three were out of this world and are outtake pics from today's mag spread. Rena is also a model for Non-no but hasn't had any recent pics at their site, she's also a model for another company but can't recall their name. As mentioned Rena is concentrating so much more on her acting career which is a main reason for ceasing her gravure spreads.
Coming up soon once the subs are done will be recaps for the "Video Girl" Mai 2019" drama and she had a fairly big role in it. On October 9th Rena was at a press conference for her next drama "Delicious Lunch", she's growing up as for the first time she'll be playing a teacher in a series. She did look quite good at the event and the drama is set in the 1980's which is the reason for the older style of clothes. The show had it's first episode tonight on Tokyo MX, it appears to be a fun series so will check it out if and when it's subbed.
Rena appeared at another event on October 5th down in Iwaki city that's in Fukushima prefecture. She was appointed as a special ambassador/manager for their tourism department, she'll be doing some CM's for them and Iwaki city is her hometown.
Plenty of fabulous outtake pics from her possible final gravure spread....
.... which is from the October 21st issue of WPB. Hope it's not Rena's final gravure spread but if it is that's the way things are, have a feeling she'll change her mind next year. However we will see one more huge pictorial as these are pics from her upcoming WPB-Net pictorial but don't know the release date for it yet. The title of the spread is 'The Last', at first didn't know what it meant until Rena made her announcement last week, after the pics is a short promo video for it.
