Erika Toda: Talk about a true 'Blast from the past' post....

 

 Two posts down was briefly musing how there's been a big decrease in Idol posts the past month and I hope it stays that way. Will always do solo posts for some NMB/Nogi/Keya members who I like plus Hina of course but will mainly have group posts for them. Much prefer doing posts for women like Erika but so much depends on what they do, seems most of the actresses who are huge faves of mine really slow down once they turn thirty so that makes posting abut them close to impossible. But have to give a thanks to everyone as the past two months have seen more views than ever and perhaps you were also getting tired of the vast majority of Idol posts.

 Still working on my cloning project, think it's going quite well and those dozen can really tire me out!!!! This is Erika's 325th post but it's somehow only her second one of the year and that previous one was done way back in January. Believe me when I say posts would have been done had there been anything to include in them but there weren't. But can understand that long gap of inactivity as at the end of March Erika wrapped up filming the "Scarlet' asadora and what long shows they are. The filming for those 156 episode series goes on for six months and during that time whoever has the lead role in one rarely have time to do anything else and she did have the lead in it. So after it's run know she went on a long break but think she's about to return to her usual busy ways.

 Erika does have some fans here but not nearly as many as she once did, her posts just receive a

so-so amount of views. However everyone should be so indebted to her for if it wasn't for her never would have started this blog.... still waiting to hear some thanks from her! Have a little over forty new pics for today plus a few oldies to end off with, almost all the new ones are from June on as Erika had done so little for so long but did explain why. Had mentioned about possibly having a theme day for October 31st but won't as I completely forgot about it though she didn't....

 No events this year for Erika which does make sense as she's had no new dramas or films but I'm expecting or at least hoping 2021 will be a busy year for her. She did have a slowish stretch from 2014-16 but since then has been as busy as actresses a decade younger than she is. That age is 32 now as she hit that on August 17th and there's only five or so faves over thirty who I post about on a regular basis. This first set of new pics goes all the way back to March, she was the cover girl for Classy yet only had a two page spread?!

 Bit of a bigger set from the June edition of Biteki. Erika may not be that popular here but she remains so in Japan as she's the cover girl once again and will be in the other spreads coming up.

 These are brand new pics from the Bazaar site and a short interview she did last week, think she'll also be appearing in their new issue.

 I have been such a huge Erika fan for over a decade but will admit from the years 2013-16 she didn't look as good, to me she lost too much weight and why would she need to do that? But the past three years she's looking better than ever and have had a few comments agreeing with me. She's still single at 32 and don't think she's had any steady mate for a while, she could if she stopped losing my phone number! Some pics from the Voce site which are cleaner versions than the set following them.

 Some of those were actually from 2019 but when I was at the site decided to grab all of her good ones, in other words all of the pics. Today's third mag spread is from Voce and their October issue, as mentioned Erika graced the cover in all of today's four spreads. At the bottom of the post is a short interview video and she looks so superb in it.

 Four for four as far as covers go as she also had the honor for the December issue of Maquia.

 Those recent spreads are what make me think 2021 could be another busy year for her. My fave Erika pics are from a July 2009 event she did to promote her 'Cecil McBee' photbook, it was about a month before she turned 21. Have posted these before but can never get tired viewing them plus I bet many have never seen them before. Did a pair of posts for the terrific PB and here's the link to the first one which will lead into the next: CB photobook
