Risa Watanabe: Her illuminating 57th post....

 

 Sure most other fans wouldn't agree but to me that top pic is her most iconic one. Risa's first photobook came out on April 10, 2019, up until about March 25th there were some superb promo pics for the book but none were gravure ones so thought it'd be a very conservative book. But then that top pic was released and my eyes haven't stopped spinning since then(!), she does have better pics but that one has such a find memory to me. Risa's second book will be coming out on May 17th, it's a memorial one for her graduation. Know that book won't be as alluring as her first one which is my top '46' book to date. But that second pic above just came out a few days ago so perhaps there will be a few swimsuit pics but having many gravure pics wasn't the theme for this book.

 Just one more week to go until Risa's graduation concert which will be streamed live. Of course I'm a bit broken hearted as she could be my #1 Idol of all time but sadly have grown so used to these graduations and just way too many of my top Idols have left their groups these last few years. But Risa is going out in style, this is her sixth post since March 21st so she's been veryb active. Plus she has that book coming out and there's many other things happening too. So am going to try to make her posts medium sized ones for the next month to have as many as possible, after mid June there will be some posts but not nearly as many and just five more are needed for a hundred!

 Risa's posts are already terrific but to me the pics for today are her best in such a long time. Such as this set from the Natalie site which is an article/interview for the book coming out in two days, she did design much of the book and came up with the theme, here's the link: Natalie interview

 Few more promo pics for the photobook came out this week and as you can see she's getting riding lessons from Keya's captain.... bet she's the next member to graduate.

 There's going to be a special lottery held on May 30th, if you bought the book you'll be entered for a chance to win some autographed Risa pics!!!!

 Some fabulous new promo cards for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, hopefully the first four weren't posted before but the other four are brand new and will they be Risa's final ones for the game?

 

 Risa will continue to be a model for the Non-no magazine, am holding back her June spread and site pics for her next post. After going ten months with no spreads save for NN she's been the cover girl twice in the last two weeks. This set is from the May 25th issue of Weekly Shonen Champion and the bottom two are bonus pics.

 Last but certainly not least are these stupendous pics from yesterday's 'Girls Award' show, her last regular event as a Keya member. I think these are Risa's best pics in such a long time and doesn't she seem so much more mature and classy? She took her stroll on the 'Dazzlin' stage and that's a handbag company. Here it is over a day later and there's still no videos from the show, sure there will be so will have one in her next post. For the second time in the past month Risa was a co-host for 'Showroom' and I've noticed she's been opening up so much more lately as for so long she was such a quiet person. That 'Showroom' aired last night and after the pics is a video of it.
