Ruka Kitano: Her second historical post with many yummy yummies!!!!

 

 By second mean this is her second solo post but as mentioned in her first she did have many pics and such in five older SKE group posts. Was very unsure if Ruka would be very popular here or not, very few SKE posts have been extremely popular and that also goes for posts for graduated members. But that first post featuring her first ever photobook has close to 600 views so would say that means many here do like Ruka and why not as she really is an attractive woman. Many years ago I was expecting big things from her but for some unknown reason starting in 2020 the posts for SKE became so much more difficult to do which has remained that way since. Well, it's not that I haven't wanted to do posts but activities such as mag spreads, events and photobooks dwindled to almost zero for the members and I can't figure out why. But have noticed that many members who I had liked have been busy enough after graduating so least the spirit of SKE has somewhat lingered on here which is more than I can say about some others such as C-ute or Nogi....

 I really like those above two photos which are about five years old and had been posted at the SKE group blog. Most J-Pop groups did have blogs which I much prefer over Instagram but these days most members in groups just post pics at their IG page. Wouldn't say that Ruka is a FT gravure model but she has done so much of that line of work since leaving SKE last June and that kind of modeling has paid off for her and other ex-Idols. For I have been noticing over the last two years that doing gravure modeling has opened the doors for so many other activities which is such an immense help for their careers as the entertainment field these days is so bloated with semi popular Idols. So women such as Ruka have been able to parlay modeling into other things as she's been in a bunch of stage plays the past eight months and has another coming up plus has been appearing on many variety shows. What I can't understand is why Ruka doesn't have her own Ja.wiki page, if my laptop could type in Japanese I would have started one for her!!!!

 Will have to watch myself as far as posting photos go as she isn't shy at all about showing off her figure and the ex-SKE member in the next post is the same way! I have five digital books, about seven magazine spreads plus another is about to come out and all of those are recent. Also have some event and IG pics along with some older things so the posts for Ruka should continue on into June if I do one every other week. Also have some older SKE cards that have never been posted before, usually for graduated Idols have cards for the current month but in her case think I'll be going backwards by year and these are all from 2023.

 "Furete, Miru" photobook is the title of Ruka's first and only regular photobook to date and was released last September. I didn't keep track of the numbers but had noticed that book was in the top ten for sales at least eight weeks and perhaps ten! So while it was only selling 2-3,000 copies a week multiply that by many weeks and that means the book has sole 25-30,000 copies to date which is an excellent amount for an ex-Idol. Two versions of the book came out, the post that was done ten days ago was for the print edition. Sometimes towards the end of next month will have a post for the digital version which contains all new photos and as I said she leaves ZERO to the imagination! The book came out on September 15th, the day before an event was held for it which is what the below pics are from and after them is a video from it.

 

 Ruka had a fair amount of magazine spreads while with SKE but like most members hardly any after 2020. To me she looks so terrific these days but in a way I almost prefer the way she looked five years such as in those two blog pics near the top of the post. Back then she had a fuller figure but either way she looks more than okI-doki!!!! Here's an older spread that had been posted but sure all who may have seen it have forgotten about it and this set is from the March 2018 issue of Entame.

 Have a newer Ruka magazine spread that's from the December 9th edition of WPB and was promoting a new digital book.

 Will end off with that WPB book that was released on November 25th, the pics are super duper but it's kind of disappointing the set only contains 26 photos. There is a short video from the photo shoot after the pics and how I wish that was longer as Ruka truly may have never looked more alluring....
