Misato Ugaki: Hopefully the return of such a fave....
Really mean that in the title as Misato is the woman I've missed posting about more than anyone else this year. This is her first post since March after having eleven in about a five month stretch. Last year she was third(!) on my faves list and was really hoping she'd make a run at #1 this year but obviously that didn't work out. In my opinion this health crisis has affected Misato's activities more than any other person I post about. She appears at so many events, bet at least twenty in 2019 and always looked so darn fabulous at them. But with that long ban for events that meant we've seen so little of Misato over the past eight months, this post doesn't have a large amount of pics from that stretch but sometimes doing one post leads to many more.
Seems every Idol who I've wanted to see have a photobook has had one and that's probably the case for most actresses too. So that may put Misato at the top of my list for being the person I want to see have a PB and surprised it hasn't happened yet. She does have a book coming out in ten days but it's going to be a fashion/cosmetics one but maybe she'll hold an event for it. Misato was a long time newscaster for TBS but left at the end of March 2019, since then she's been doing free lance work. But she had also been the emcee at so many events but of course wasn't able to do that line of work for most of this year. She's also one of our fave cosplayers but doesn't do nearly as much these days.
Hmmmm, that lockdown may have given her more time to do her number one activity....
This will not be too large of a post as I don't want to have another long gap between posts but that there was really no way around that. Misato did so much modeling last year but lately that's dwindled to almost nothing or perhaps I haven't checked hard enough. Will for her next post(s) which I'll try to have within the month and these are recent pics for Tocco Closet.
Have returned though you wouldn't know I left for a long spell. Did the three posts after this one, while they'll probably get many more views this is my fave of the bunch and Misato was quite popular here when she had that huge amount of posts last year. Hope you haven't forgotten about her and will really make an a valiant attempt to have at least two more posts for her by the end of the year. So mentioned there's been a decent amount of mag spreads but just about all of them are so small and can't understand why so did leave the ones with only two page out. The first four pics are from the April issue of Maquia while the others are from the May edition of Steady, she was their cover girl yet only had three pages?
Oooops, almost forgot this small batch of pics from the Vivi site which are from a makeup column she has for the mag.
Will hold two spread back just so there won't be another gap with Misato posts. Know it's been eons since her last one but she is someone who I check up on almost every day as she really is such a massive fave of mine but sadly all of that checking for new activities rarely panned out. Three pics each here from the June and October issues of Biteki.
Will make those the final pair of spreads and am holding back a pair. Someone else hasn't had a post for such a long time which I hope changes this week....
Of course I mean the woman on the right. Misato hasn't done much acting to date and hope that changes soon. But she can now add Voice Actress to her lengthy resume as she's did the character of the Flower Fairy in the anime movie "The Legend of Hei: The Future I Choose" which was released yesterday. Have some interview pics for the movie and these are from the Style Nikkei site.
More interview pics for the movie which are from 'The TV.jp' site, there's many more pics for the movie which I may have in future posts.
Will end off with some pics from the movie's premiere but wish there were so many more. The event took place yesterday at the Baltic 9 Cinema in Shinjuku, often look at the weekly box office figures and can't believe how popular anime films are. Hopefully this will break the ice as far as Misato attending events go and as mentioned she often looks so sparkling at them. It's been so long since Misato's last post there's quite a few CM's that you've never seen before. The one following the pics came out in April and is for Musee, there's also a short behind the scenes segment.
