Risa Watanabe: Happy 24th Birthday.... (yay!))....

 

 I would bet that top pic has led off a post more than any other one and there's an excellent reason for that which you would know if you've read her older posts. So this is the second of back to back posts for my top two women of all time and as mentioned in that first post it's never happened before. That's hard to believe as the pair have had more posts than anyone else since January 2018 but as far as I know they've never been in a photo together. This is Risa's first regular post since June 8th, that one was wrapping her final Keya activities. So not much has happened since then and had a feeling that would be the case but her graduation was only two months ago so after being in Keya for close to seven years think she deserved a bit of a break.

 So because of that gap in activities was worried there wouldn't be a post for today due to the lack of new pics but things worked out and when someone is such a massive fave of mine posts usually do pan out well. So in less than two months my #1 woman of all time will be revealed and as of now it would be Risa, she's been at the top for about five months now. She's never been number one on a yearly list but did finish second back in 2019 and have often said that though she's never been #1 for a year in a way Risa has been my top woman since 2018 and she's finally risen to the top!

 Bottom pic above is from her May 22nd grad concert, do have it but won't post any screenshots from it today. After leaving Keya Risa opened her own IG site but seldom posts pics, as a matter of fact she was one of the worst at doing posts on the group's 'Diary' blog.

 Risa better change her ways about posting pics and news for to celebrate her 24th birthday she opened her own site today! I had no idea that was going to happen and it being new of course there's not much there yet save for these pics and here's the link to it: Risa's website

 If Risa does hold on to her #1 position on my all time faves list that post will be done around September 20th. So unless she's busy in August there may not have a post for her until then and hope that doesn't happen. One good thing is that she'll continue to appear at those large fashion shows and the next one for the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' will be held on September 3rd. These overly sweltering pics are from the March 30, 2019 TGC show where she and her mates were promoting a new AEON Keya credit card.

 She is standing next to one of her closest Keya mates and I need to find out where this 'Uni's on Air' pic came from as I've never seem this set before and think it's somewhat newish....

 Those two are my all time top duo and it's a shame there will probably never be another 'Pairs Post' for them but do have this small batch of pics which had never been posted before save for the first.

 Another thing we'll never see any more of are Risa cards but do have some oldies here for her previous birthdays.

 But there are some newer Keya cards that had never been posted which came out in May, have some here and also there's more which will be in her next post.

 Risa will continue to be a model for the Non-no magazine and here's her spread from their September issue, hope she appears in more than their mags in the future.

 Will end off with these beyond perfect pics from the Non-no site that have all come out since mid-June. Risa has been a model for them since 2017 and I'd really like to see her do much more modeling as it's hard(impossible) to top her looks. With Risa no longer a Keya member she won't be doing any more videos for the AEON credit card and personally have always enjoyed them. Especially the one after the pics which is a mini movie that is subbed in English and also stars two other Keya members. I highly recommend viewing it and have watched it too many times to count!
