Rena Takeda; Talk about a humongous gap....



 .... between posts which sadly has set a personal record for her. This is Rena's first post since May 6th and only her third one of the year for current happenings. Those first two weren't exactly huge ones and neither is this though there may be over forty new pics but that's not really that many considering how long ago her last post was. Of course long gaps like that happen often with many of my faves but from July 2017 to May of this year Rena had seventy posts in a 34 month period which is slightly more than two a month, what's she been doing this year????

 Well, Rena has been in quite a few dramas and will mention two in this post. In all she's had four posts for 2020 before this one but two were older pictorials, she still is popular as those four have an average of 620 views which would place her fifth on the popularity list. But at one time Rena was the #1 most popular gal here but has slowed down on her gravure spreads to the dismay of many, she did mention last Autumn how she would stop doing those kinds of pics and has kept her promise. Not doing gravure pics isn't a bad thing as Rena still looks mighty fine to me but know her fans prefer pics like these at the top, back on July 27th she celebrated her 23rd birthday.



 Rena has been in four full time dramas this year though I haven't viewed any to date. But that will be changing soon as the reason for not watching any is because they weren't subbed but the work has just started for two of them. Wouldn't call Rena an excellent actress but she she does a decent job in her roles and I enjoy watching her on screen. One series just started as far as subs go is "Isekai Izakaya 'Nobu'" which aired from May 15th until July 17th. It appears to be one of those late night dramas that are a bit odd and quirky which are the shows I enjoy the most. This series could be a lighthearted version of 'Midnight Diner' which has had four seasons, once the subs for 3-4 episodes get done will be beginning on the series.



 What I've really liked about the shows Rena has been in is that the vast majority are late night dramas which to me are better than most prime time series. The episodes tend to be shorter such as 25 minutes for the above show and also often have fewer episodes. Her latest series ended on August 6th which was titled "Sixteen Syndrome" and the first show was just subbed this week. While the above drama I'll definitely watch am up in the air about this show which is set at a high school, thought she had outgrown those kinds of roles. It aired on FOD and some promo pics for it.








 Did mention that Rena turned 23 on July 27th, also with a b-day then is this massive Nao fave.



 Few recent modeling pics from 'The Shop' site though not much difference in them.











 Have a pair of four page spreads and has she ever so slowed down on appearing in mags. First set is from the July edition of BLT Graph, second four pics are from the July issue of Non-no. Rena is a model for them but never has all that many pics at their site.








 Will be ending off with a really terrific set of pics from the August 19th issue of Weekly Shonen. Rena is the cover girl and she doesn't need to be dressed skimpy to look oki doki! Following the pics have a new video that came out yesterday for 'Pick Up Idol', it's a short clip of her out shopping and she does look better than ever in the video.
