Neru Nagahama: The onset of her triumphant return posts....
Kept a promise as a week ago in a Keya group post vowed to have a post for her by the end of the month. Was successful with that and there's no way I'm going to stop with just this one!!!! Can't give a good reason on why the posts for Neru stopped as this is her first one in well over a year. She is a very busy woman though not all of her activities are things you can have in a post. So have been working on this for a few days and think I've accumulated enough things for two more posts and possibly more as there has been so many missed activities from the past year. Neru's photobook had some sweltering pics but the very top one above is my all time favorite of her and of course from her book came the mandatory brushing your teeth pics....
Shame we'll probably never see another book from her as that's one of my top ones of all time. It came out in December 2017 and what a success that book was! It's sold over 220,000 copies(!) which I think makes it the sixth biggest selling book from a '46' member out of eighty books. There's some darn good pics of Neru today but you won't be seeing any gravure ones and don't think fans mind as her posts have always been so popular. Will try to make this a medium sized post to save things for her next posts but have a feeling that won't work out....
Neru left Keya in July 2019 though she hadn't been doing many group things prior to her graduation. She then took about a year off and most fans thought we may never see her again. Luckily that didn't happen as she made one impressive comeback which I was glad to see as she is one likable woman. Let's get to things and won't get into everything today as there will be at least two more upcoming posts, first off are these recent IG pics.
Since April 2021 Neru has been the host of her own radio show called "Legato" and that's been such a popular show, some pics from the set.
Neru is currently in the Asadora "Mai Agare!" that began ten days ago. Those morning series are good but at 120 episodes, at one time they were 156, they're just way too long to view. An episode is only fifteen minutes in length which means very few of the cast get much screen time which sadly is the case for her but it's still an honor being on one of those heavily watched shows. Here's the link to an interview she did for the series with Hominis where she also discussed being one of the hosts for this year's 'Tokyo Idol Fes': Hominis site
Like most Keya members there's not all that many pics for Halloween.
With Neru leaving Keya well over three year ago it means there's not a huge amount of pics with my all time fave....
.... plus would have liked to have seen the story of their relationship in the 'Tokuyama' drama expanded, gulp....
Mentioned this year's 'Tokyo Idol Fes' and will have pics of that in her next post. On September 23rd Neru was station master for the day at the JR Nagasaki Station which is her hometown. It was the grand opening of their new station and she took a ride on the first train.
Over the last two years seems Neru has been a model for at least five companies but never seems to stay with them all that long, these are from the Maquia site.
This has been a big enough post so will stop now and will be ending with this superb new mag spread from the October 26th issue of Weekly Shonen, bottom five pics are from the photo shoot. Besides attending that station opening Neru has also done other promo work for JR, after the pics have a CM that came out in July.
