Rika Izumi: Happy fifth anniversary!!!!

 

 Couple weeks early but her first post ever was back in July 2017, wish it was our fifth anniversary! Was thinking of having the first of two intro posts for the second 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list and the countdown should begin around August 5th. But decided do hold off on that for a few days, what I really need to do is start writing things down instead of keeping 'what's what' in my head. But one thing that may be happening soon is a slowdown on posts for those twenty who will make the list. It's not always possible but try to have those position posts have as many new things as possible so those who will be in the spots from twenty to eleven may not have another post this month.

 The plan is to have the first ten positions in August, then the top ten in September which mean a post about every three days. Rika is assured of a top ten spot so may do a post for her in August, am holding back twenty or so pics for that. But I don't think Rika is going to make the top five, she has slid down a bit the last two years but it's actually more of a case of others passing her. Not a major complaint as all of her modeling pics are so superb but wish Rika would vamp it up now again and give us a few new gravure spreads, her figure still tops 99% of those a decade younger.

 Rika is currently in a drama titled "Me no Kabe", have skimmed through the first two shows but haven't watched them fully because of lack of subs. The show is being subbed but they're just at a private site, sure I'll eventually get them but haven't looked hard enough either. It's only a five episode series so it's okay if it finishes before viewing it as that means I can watch all five in a row. On to some new things and Rika has never been known to post many pics at her IG page, but in June she posted all these which may be a record for her!

 No events for this post but there was one in Rika's last post that was for that new drama. As usual have a mix of new modeling pics and mag spreads, as mentioned all the pics are overly superb but wish she would tantalize us on occasion. First up are these pics for the Apuweiser Summer collection, she's been with that clothing line for at least five years. 

 Held this spread back which is from the June issue of Bijin Hyakka.

 Why not go back in time for a super duper spread, this set is from the January 16, 2018 issue of Young Jump and perhaps many had never seen it. Rika didn't do a whole lot of gravure modeling but she had a fair amount of spreads from late 2016 until early 2018, right after this is when it seemed she started to become much more conservative which really isn't a negative.

 Am holding back her August spread for Oggi along with some other modeling pics as I hate having a month without a post for her! Speaking of Oggi Rika has been a model for them since May 2019, this batch are her June pics from the magazine's site.

 What I've ben doing these past few months is ending off with pics from the Stola site, these are for  their Summer collection. To me they're Rika's top modeling pics and she has so many with them am holding back over ten of them for her next post. Following the pics is a video for the July issue of Bijin Hyakka, that spread will also be in Rika's next post which is promising to be huge!
