Nao Kanzaki: 'Top Twenty Faves' countdown for 2019.... #19, Hiroe Igeta
Think most of these 'Top Twenty Faves' posts will be normal sized which usually means fifty or so pics. Some though will be quite massive and as mentioned above think the post for #17 may be the biggest and best one, be sure to check that one out which should be on Sunday or Monday. Some though will be rather small and once again as I mentioned in the above post #16 is proving difficult as there's been hardly any new pics the past month, hopefully some things will arise soon.
This is kind of a medium sized post as there aren't many new pics for current happenings. But there is a huge amount of new pics for here as there were many Hiroe happenings from earlier this year I never got around to having in her posts, this is her seventh one since September. This may be the biggest surprise of anyone making the list as I did say it was long shot for her to make it. But I have become such a huge Hiroe fan these past four or so months since her first into post in July, will make an early prediction saying if she stays busy next year a top ten spot is awaiting her.
The main reason it took so long to begin posting about Hiroe is that she went to Waseda University and graduated this Spring. She had been active during college but mainly as a model but did film a movie shortly before she graduated. Not positive but think five of the top twenty are college graduates, she's also the tallest gal to make the list as her height is 170 cm.
Few recent Instagram pics but can't say she's the greatest of posters.
As a few of you may know from reading the recaps Hiroe is currently starring in the "Kamen Rider Zero-One" show, will have two more recaps coming up tomorrow. Her character's name is Yua Yaiba who can also transform into a Kamen Rider, I think she looks so fabulous in the show. What I truly enjoy about Hiroe is how she doesn't have the figure of a gravure model nor the face of a traditional model, more of a down to earth look which has really captivated me.
Hiroe has been an exclusive model for the More site since December but haven't seen her in any of their mags. Have posted many pics in all of her posts and these are her first ones for the site which should make the collection complete.
The movie(s) Hiroe filmed while in college was 'Shigatsu no Kimi, Supika" which came out on April 5th. Posted her pics from the premiere but these are from a special screening on March 28th.
The other film she did shortly before graduating college was "The Legend of Kronos Jounter" which also came out in April. The first screening it had took place at the fourth 'Akihabara Film Festival' which is the main otaku section of Tokyo and the event took place on January 12th.
Another film Hiroe starred in this year was "Aesop's Game", had pics from it's premiere in an earlier post. The film came out on August 16th and these pics are from an interview for it with the Crank site, you can see how she towers over her co-star.
Finishing 19th is quite impressive considering how I didn't hear about her until April but her good mate will have a position much higher, perhaps eighth?
Only two pages from the November issue of Vivi, why'd they bother?
Slightly bigger Hiroe spread from the December edition of ar.
Will end off with this spread from the June 6th issue of Young Jump, it was in her first intro post and was also Hiroe's first gravure spread. Realize she's not a bodacious model as too many are but she looks pretty darn good to me. No Hiroe gravure videos on YT which is fine with me so after the pics have an new CM for 'JR Kyushu' which is actually quite enjoyable.
