Rika Izumi: Few recent happenings plus some terrific news....
This has been an extremely busy stretch lately for posts as I've had just as many in the last two weeks as I do in three weeks. But was wondering if things will be slowing down and it almost appears they have for some things. Those things are mainly events and concerts as so many have been cancelled in Japan due to the flu epidemic. Think as time goes on those cancellations will be affecting the posts as I usually have so many event pics though none for today.
Mag spreads and modeling pics shouldn't be decreasing as most of the photo shoots took place well over a month ago. Just thought you'd want a heads up if there's not as many posts in the upcoming weeks. Bit of a strange Rika post as there are fifty new pics but none from events plus there doesn't seem to be any sparkling batch of pics but that could be changing soon.
Rika's last post and also her first of the year was done on February 9th. Three days after that it was announced her second photobook would be released on April 7th! That really took me by surprise as I thought Rika had semi retired from doing gravure spreads or pics, her first PB from 2017 may be the best of all time. So that of course means there should be many jaw-dropping mag spreads coming out soon for the book, bet she saw how high sales have been lately for photobooks and had to get in on the action. Title of the PB is "Maderia" and the photo shoot took place in Portugal, few promo pics have been released.
On that April 7th date Rika will also be releasing two other photobooks but those will be fashion and makeup books. As mentioned this is a solid post but not much variety as the only new things recently have been a pair of mag spreads plus some modeling pics. Seeing as how Spring is right around the corner sure we'll be seeing many Rika modeling pics as she represents so many clothing lines. This first batch here are for the Apuweiser Spring collection.
First five pics here are from Stola. The other five are from the With Online site and can't recall Rika ever having pics with them, let's hope it continues.
Two mini Rika spreads here from the February(6) and March(3) issues of Maquia.
Have noticed that Rika jumps around often for sotes of companies she models for. But Oggi is one place she's been at for a long time and these are brand new from their site.
For the second month in a row Rika is the cover girl for Oggi and this set is from their March edition. Following the pics is a short promo video for Rika's second photobook.
