Haruka Fukuhara: A lot of this and that's....




 Hope this tend continues for a lot longer which is actresses and dramas having the majority of the posts. The past two months have done only two posts outside of the ones for '46' groups and really am getting tired of most '48' gals whose only claim to fame is dressing very skimpy. Plus am fed up with how much younger Hello Project groups are these days which is such a shame as I've always thought their songs were the best for so long.
 Do have many levels for my faves.... small, medium, huge.... but would say that there would only be about a dozen who I would classify as being Upper Echelon faves. That total was eleven until a few weeks ago but Haruka has now moved into that very small yet exclusive group. I really cannot get enough of her these past eight or so months and my only wish is that she was 2-3 years older. But that could be a blessing as too many of my faves tend to slow down on their activities when they turn 25 save for Korean actresses. What it also means being in that group is that I don't always have to wait for a few huge mag spreads or skimpy photobook pics to have a post as they do so many different activities. That's kind of the case for today but have some terrific Haruka things, for now wouldn't call her overly popular here yet but her posts tend to draw more views than most actresses.



 Haruka will be at the next 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show that will be held in four weeks, should be a post for that and the above pics are from a show last April. The video at the very top is a new CM for Jill Stuart contact lenses which also has a behind the scenes segment. Usually don't have two videos in a post but that CM video was quite good and have an event one at the bottom.





 Good news for fans who enjoy Haruka's singing as her second single is coming out on March 11th, it's titled "Transparent Clear". Her first one came out last August and did well enough hitting #26 on the charts, she'll also have a mini concert on April 5th to promote it.



 Haruka is also currently in a drama called "Loose Scan" aka Yuru's Camp. It's hard to find and will never be subbed but it is a tie in with the final happening in this post which I didn't realize at first. Looks to be a fun show which takes place around Japan as her character Rin travels around the country, it airs Thursdays on TV-Tokyo.









 Sure many recognize her co-star Yuuno Ohara in the show who was also in the '3-Nen A Kumi' drama with Haruka and is such a popular gravure model. The pair share today's only mag spread which is a way too small one from the February 11th issue of Flash.




 She also did an interview for the outdoor drama with the Real Sound site and the series truly does take place all around Japan, it's kind of a doc.-drama show.









 Hadn't planned on watching Haruka's 2016 series "Good Morning Call" drama, no real reason as I think she's such a superb actress but was getting tired of high school shows. But most viewers thought it was a decent drama so have decided to give the show a whirl and so far am liking it. Unsure how I'll be posting about it as it's a long show at 17 episodes and that's too many recaps to write up but will think of something to do for the series.
 In the show her character is named after her fave blogger.... Nao! Nao is a high school senior whose parents decided to move to the country to escape the hustle and bustle of Tokyo. But Nao refused to go with her parents who then rented out an apartment so she could finish her schooling in the city. The problem is the landlord also rented out the apartment to a male classmate of Nao's whom she really wasn't fond of.
 But the rent became so high that the only solution for the pair were to live in the apartment together, what parents would let two teens live together? Not many but if I was a male living with Nao I'd be in seventh heaven all day long! Some screenshots from the first show and as I mentioned will try to figure out how to squeeze seventeen episodes into a manageable amount of posts.























 More interview pics with Haruka from the 'Driver Box' site which was for the current drama and also the '2020 Japan Camper Car Show' and I wondered why.






 But then realized that Haruka's appearance at the show was because of her "Loose Scan" drama and the fact her character in the show camped all around Japan. The event started on January 31st and the pics here are from that day, the special show lasts until tomorrow. She won the 8th annual award for being the person who has contributed the most to outdoor camping in Japan and who would have thought Haruka would ever win an award like that?! Plenty of pics here from the show and the camper she's at is what her prize was for winning this year's camper award. After the pics have an enjoyable video from the event and this turned out to be such a good post, it's much more fun posting about non-Idols who keep their clothes on and are quite interesting.
