Risa Yukihira: Her triumphant return????

 


 If you're reading this on October 21st you will notice the 'Featured Post of the Day' is for her first and only regular photobook to date. It's kind of odd how something happens more than it should. Such as when I haven't done a post for someone in eons and once I have one of their posts in that section things seem to change overnight! Hard to believe but this is Risa's first post in exactly three months and it appears she did take a mini break for most of that time. Guess you can't blame her as she was on one overly busy stretch with two posts in June and three in July.



 So by the end of July Risa had eighteen posts and thought she had an excellent shot at breaking the record of 26 posts for a year. That's not going to happen now as she's just up to nineteen but that puts her back in the lead for most posts this year though her lead is just one. Have noticed that Risa didn't do all that much from mid July until recently, few things here and there but not really all that much. However she had been so busy since the Spring of 2022 and not many gravure models, if any, had as many magazine spreads and digital books as she did. So perhaps she needed to recharge her batteries and am hoping this is the start of another busy stretch. 



 Risa has done a few other things besides gravure modeling such as semi regularly appearing on two variety shows and is an avid golfer too. Hmmmm, perhaps she took much of the Summer off to visit the links and also has a YT channel with her golfing videos. Back in May she did throw out the first pitch at a Baseball game, on July 30th Risa had the honor once again of doing that which was at the Softbank Lotte Hawks game.








 Risa usually does post many photos at her IG page but this is it since mid August so you can tell she was on a semi break. None of the pics are from photo shoots and that makes me wonder something.














 Have four recent magazine spreads and what I was wondering if is that some of them just collected old pics from photo shoots? Hard to say but some look similar to Risa's older spreads but know at least two contain new pics. First off is the set from volume eleven of Grand Jump that came out at the beginning of September, now to me these definitely look like outtake pics from an earlier mag spread.







 Though there are four mag spreads for today none are as huge as they usually are, a mini set here from the September 26th issue of Flash.






 The final Risa two sets both contain new photos and this first one is from the October 13th issue of Friday. Bottom four pics are from the photo shoot and, how may flight attendants look like Risa?!









 Final thing for today is this brand new spread for the November 3rd edition of Friday, it's promoting a new digital book which would be her first one in five months. Last year Risa finished in the tenth position on the yearly faves list, even with this three month gap between posts can see her being right around that spot for 2023. There's no videos for any of these spreads so instead of having one at the bottom of the post will have a link to her YT channel. She does upload many videos and figure you can browse through and pick out the ones that interest you: Risa's YT channel
