Kyoko Saito: Her (𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵) acclaimed 44th post....
Not too large of a post as far as new pics go though there are a lot of sections. Figured if I didn't do a post this week for her then her next one wouldn't be until about December 15th and that would be too long of a gap between posts. Kyoko will probably be fourth on this year's faves list and the post for that spot would be done right around that date though she does have a chance of being third this year. In 2022 she was also fourth, the previous year sixth and in 2020 was in the seventeenth position. So while Kyoko has become one of my all time massive faves she's really become unpopular here as her posts have been drawing so fewer views than they once did. On the other hand the other solo posts for Hina members are getting more views than ever, go figure....
Don't know what happened but there as no post for her in April, the only month in the last year that there was none. But this is Kyoko's 14th post for 2023 and she beat her previous high was was eleven in 2022. As a matter of fact every year since 2018 she's had more posts than the previous year and doubt anyone else has accomplished that feat. No graduation rumors yet but sure they will be starting soon for some of Hina's first generation members, wouldn't bother me too much of Kyoko does leave in 2024 as she does so many activities outside of the group.
Let's get right to things for as I mentioned in the post below this one finally have so many of them to write up and hope there's enough time to get to them all. First off are these cards for Hina's last single "Am I Ready?" and don't think any had been in a post before. They did release their third album a week ago which of course was #1 on the charts though the sales were a bit lower than expected.
Kyoko does post many photos at her IG page and these are all from the last two weeks, some are from the set of her current drama.
"Nukarumi no Shokutaku" is the tutle of Kyoko's first drama outside of Hina and she has the lead role in it, more about it coming up. She's done so many interviews to promote the series and have the links to two of them for today. This first one is from the MyNavi site and there is a video for it which is after the pics: MyNavi site
Second interview for Kyoko's drama was with the TVer site and I thought this one was much better as she talked about her favorite movies and dramas: TVer site
Have one very mini spread for the drama which is from the November 24th issue of TV Life, only new spread for today.
To me Kyoko has been the best actress from any of the three '46' group and have thought that since seeing her in the 2017 series "Re:Mind". Some fantastic news is that the "Nukarumi no Shokutaku" drama is being subbed, four episodes have aired to date. Will wait until seven shows have been subbed and will begin recapping the entire ten episode series, by then should have the third season of "Abunai Deka" wrapped up. Kyoko has the lead role in this drama playing the character of Mia Nejiki who is about 25 in age and works at a small grocery store. Have only viewed the first episode which does appear to be a very dark story.
Mia seems to be a very introverted woman with no friends, she's somehow a mix of both a gloomy person and a happy one?! Mia lives at home with her mother who never has anything nice to say about her daughter and if she only knew what she was up to! Which is an affair with her much older manager at the store Nasukawa who is in a few screenshot below. She's really fallen for him and have a feeling she may be Mia's first ever lover but because of health problems at home with his wife Nasukawa wants to end their relationship. That's where the dark side of the story comes in and though most other viewers have mixed feelings about this drama I'm looking forward to viewing it. So the recaps should begin next month and here's some screenshots from the first episode.
There were no promo pics last month for the 'Uni's on Air' web game but things are back to normal as these are her pics for November.
So when Kyoko's next post takes place that'll be just before Christmas so hope to have quite a few pics for the holiday for her and many others too.
With there be no new mag spreads for today will end off with Kyoko's top one of the year which was from the June 18th issue of Weekly Shonen Champion. After the pics is another video interview which came out on September 22nd with the Cinema Today site. She was talking about her first dubbing role in an anime movie which was "Mutant Turtles- Mutant Panic!" and she played the role of April in the movie, it's not subbed but she looks so darn good!!!!
