Risa Watanabe: Her quintessential 33rd solo post....
Have mentioned a few times recently about possibly setting a new record for fastest million views. Well that did happen and it's all because of you viewers so thanks for visiting this place often and will have a post for the record in about five hours. In that post will have a few other things such as the first preliminary list for this year's top twenty faves though think just fourteen will be listed for now.
Risa finished second last year though to me she was my fave for last year. She started out slow this year for posts but now has had five in the last 2 1/2 months so she just needs one more to qualify. A post like this one has really helped out her cause, not positive what the rankings will be yet but think Risa may have slipped in to the top five and can't count her out for this year's top spot quite yet.
Have about 65 new pics you've never seen before, as usual none are of the gravure variety but Risa only had a short spurt in doing them for her first photobook that came out about a year ago. That's okay though as there's some mighty fine pics for today and if she never has any more new gravure pics I can live with that. Have been watching more 'Keyakitte' shows lately, Risa has appeared on all of them but never is in the spotlight or has a solo feature but the shows have really improved and lately most of the shows have focused on the second generation members.
Still no word when Keya's ninth single will be coming out. Know it won't be for a while because of the crisis in Japan, even HKT just postponed their next single. It may not happen until the Autumn which means it'll be twenty months between singles and hope their old time fans haven't deserted the group because of that. Have plenty of super duper new pics for Risa's huge fan base to enjoy, will start off with some cards for their 'Keyakise' mobile game.
Hopefully can have a post for her 'rival' within the next week who just may be slightly higher than Risa on the current faves list.
Of course there's been no events in Japan for a while and that's really affected my posts. There's supposed to be a 'Girls Award' show next week, was just at their site and it appears it's still going to be held but it would have to take place in an empty arena. Didn't see any Keya, Hina or Nogi members scheduled there's a lot of models who weren't listed. So don't know if Risa was going to be in appearance which would be a shame as she looks so fabulous at those shows. Have some pics from the 2018 May 'Girls Award' show here, did do a post for it back then but many of these hadn't been in that post and she looks so incredible as always....
Can't have a Risa post with no pics from the Non-no site, seems as though there's more than ever.
Risa used to appear in so many mags but that hasn't been the case so far this year, bet no new music from Keya may be a big reason. But she's the cover girl for this splendid set that's from the April 29th issue of Weekly Shonen, bottom four are bonus pics. There hasn't been a new Risa video on YT for over a month so after the pics have an older one from Non-no, we need to see that pair reunited.
