Rika Izumi: Hope a few recall who she is....

 

 It's been close to four months since the last post for Rika, that's never happened before and hope it doesn't again! Had forgotten all about it but should have done a post three weeks ago as that was the sixth anniversary of her first ever post here. It's going to be later than sooner but she will hit that 100 post mark which is so rare for an actress/model, only one other has hit that milestone in the last five years. It is getting much more difficult to do posts for my real long time faves which I guess makes sense. So many actresses I once posted about are well into their thirties, many are married and don't do as many activities. Rika will be turning 35 in exactly two months and she's the oldest woman I consistently post about but in my eyes she's more attractive than almost any other woman here. 😍 She's still single and time is running out for her if she wants to settle down and start a family.

 Not positive but think this will be a difficult weekend for posts. If that's the case may do that preliminary post for this year's faves list and doing those posts really help me. The only requirement to be eligible for the list is to have six posts such as this one. To date twenty have hit that mark and there's at least six others who just need one or two posts. Rika needs just one more and she has the longest streak ever for making the list as she's made it the last six years. Plus five of those years she finished in the top six so there's no doubt she's one of my all time favorite women but she's going to need a busy next three months to break back into the top ten, she was twelfth last year.

 Sigh, how I miss those kinds of photos and we may never see any in that vein ever again. Not a lot of new activities but do have over seventy new pics such as these from Rika's IG page, not many but she's never been someone who posts at her page too often.

 Tomorrow Rika's first regular drama of 2023 begins and the show is titled "Gifted", pics below are from an event for it two days. She has the lead female role in the series playing a police sergeant(!) and it looks to be a very interesting drama. Only have three episodes to go in the "Actress" series and am looking for one to view after that. This show looks to be quite promising so if it does get subbed this is a drama that I will recap.

 Don't think any actress does as much modeling as Rika does and to top it off those photos are usually beyond perfect! But this is a slow time of the year for modeling as it's too late for Summer collections and a tad too early for Autumn. That's okay for when those pics start coming out it could mean 3-4 posts for her the next few months. Don't have to worry about modeling pics from the Oggi site, she's been with them since 2019 and these are all since July 1st.

 Just one recent mag spread for today which is from the July issue of Oggi. Will have her newest spread in that next post and Rika doesn't appear in nearly as many magazines as she once did which is such a shame as she looks as good as ever!

 Wonder if age has something to do with the decrease in magazine spreads? Hope not but then again you don't see a whole lot of models who are close to 35 in age as busy as Rika is. There being only one spread for today let's have an encore viewing of such a terrific set of pics that's from the April 27, 2017 issue of Young Jump which was promoting her first photobook.

 Often end Rika's posts with new modeling pics from the Stola site as they're so unbeatable, will do that for today and this batch is for their late Summer collection. It's been so long since there was a new Rika video and at one time she did so many CMs. After the pics have a short one promoting her second photobook from three years ago, she's never had one regular gravure video which is such a pity!
