Haruka Kaki: Yet another in the long line of.... π―πππ πππ ππππππππ πππ πππ ππ posts....
Sure just about everyone recalls her but can you believe this is her first psot in exactly nine months?! This will be a large post as far as photos go but there really hasn't been all that many activities during the year and wonder why? The wondering part is because Haruka is a very popular Nogi member, probably the biggest of the 4G gals so why haven't we seen more of her and bet that's not her decision. Had just been musing about her age which is 23, what if Haruka was five years older and had been part of the first two generations? If that was the case bet there would have been no way she would have taken a backseat to let others grab the spotlight, you rarely saw that with the first generation members. Plus her 2022 photobook was such a massive seller and why haven't we seen a second one, know we all would love to see one! However was also just thinking it was a graduation book for the last five members to have a second one so perhaps we shouldn't be wishing for it....
Have lost track of the total but think Nogi has had around 65 photobooks to date, her 2022 book was so tremendous and if I ever have a list of my faves it'd rank around fifth!!!!! Speaking of faves Haruka is someone who would be battling to be my #1 woman of the year if she was busier, I truly like everything about her and so don't you viewers. For last year she was the most popular woman here and that was determined by how many views her posts received, that won't be happening in 2024 as this is Haruka's first of the year. And wonder if it may be her last but will try to not let that happen though will need some new things for a post.
Not a lot of sections to this post but most will be large and there could be 85 or so pics for today. Have been wanting to do a post for months and guess I could have squeezed one in though it wouldn't have been as terrific. On August 8th Haruka hit the age of 23 and she's now been with Nogi for around six years, at 166 cm think she's currently their second tallest member. Have a few older pics here of birthdays gone past....
Have even more birthday pics which are for this year, the first and bottom ones. This batch features some pics from Haruka's IG page but she posts so few solo photos, what you will see many of are ones from her 'Girls Locks' radio show, she hosts it one week a month and has since April 2021.
Haruka used to be a model for the More magazine but think that gig ended about a year ago. That's such a shame as her pics for them were always fabulous and why isn't she modeling for another magazine or site? These days Nogi cards are released sporadically, mainly for singles and here's twenty that have come out so far in 2024 which to me all get a grade of A+++++!!!!
Seeing as how it's been nine months since her last post I don't expect her next to be any time soon but would love to see it happen. It is seven weeks away but why not let her have the honor of having the first batch of Halloween pics for the year as odds are high there won't be a post around then.
Haruka's last post had this spread from the January 4th issue of Young Magazine and why not have an encore viewing of it? When she does appear in a magazine she's often the cover girl but hasn't really had as many spreads as you would think over the last 3-4 years.
Will end off with this set and can you believe the above was her last spread until this brand new one for the September 25th issue of Weekly Shonen?! Haruka is the cover girl once again and nine months with zero spreads is kind of mind boggling, another reason for the lack of posts. Some of the pics are from the photo shoot and following the spread is a longish video from earlier in the year, besides ones for the 'Girls Locks' show there's been so few solo ones. In the video Haruka tries her hand at playing the video game Exit 8, it is kind of long but was entertaining and what's a huge plus is that it's subbed in English.
Her video game episodes on YouTube have been a lot of fun to watch recently
