Risa Watanabe: A little bit of this and that....
Have the ultimate hangover from hell so will make this a one post day, that is if I can finish it! Well, this post being for my #1 woman of all time of course it'll be completed. Risa has a nice streak going as the last five years has been in the seventh position or higher on the yearly faves list. Hope that can continue for 2023 but wouldn't be surprised if she does drop below seventh, Risa is still busy but not to the extent she was with Keya though then again they haven't been the busiest of groups the last three years. Their first single since she graduated comes out tomorrow but it's been ten months since their previous single. Will have a Keya post by the end of the week but they still haven't increased their activities and how do they expect to become more popular being so quiet?
"Zenryoku de, Aishita Ii Kana?" is the title of Risa's first drama since leaving the group. Just found out two days ago it will be subbed and once a few episodes are done will be starting on it. Unsure if I'll be recapping the series but if it's good then will do so, her role is only a medium sized one though it does star an old time fave of mine.
Did view the first show though without subs. It's not only Keya who needs more exposure for so doesn't Risa but she's staying busy enough. She opened her own IG page after she left the group but wish she would post more photos, this is it from the past month.
Some of those above pics were from Saturday's 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show that was held in Wakayama. Risa was there and while she look good it wasn't at the level of older shows, have never seen so few pics from a show for her and she took her stroll on the Jeanasis stage.
Plenty of Risa pics for Valentine's Day though all are older. Sadly we'll never see any more superb Keya cards and how about the trio in the bottom photo?!!!!
Risa has been busy with the Non-no magazine and she's been a model for them for almost six years. Have some fabulous new pics from their site though no mag spreads, really would like to see Risa increase her modeling work.
No other new magazine spreads either and she rarely appears in any these days. So will end off with Risa's final spread while a Keya member, she graced the cover of the May 25, 2022 issue of Weekly Shonen and had graduated three days earlier. After the pics have a short video from Saturday's TGC show, she's just on it until the 55 second mark. An idea just popped into my head which is that it'd be nice to see Risa open her own Vlog and has she ever thought about that?
