Marupi: Who better to begin off April with?!
Used a similar title for the last post which ended off March, that title was on the money but even more so for today's honoree! Really can't say I favor the looks of one type of woman over any others though guess in a way it's women who look like Marupi 😍 are ones who get my blood boiling to the Nth degree! How I wish she was busier as she's the kind of woman who would consistently be in my top five on the yearly faves list, perhaps even battle for the top spot! Marupi did make the list back in 2023 but last year was a slowish one for her as she only had three posts, didn't realize until now that this is her first one in nine months and how I hope it's the start of many....
This being her first post in such a long time will make this part one of her comeback posts, will do another in about two weeks. Do have a pair of 2024 magazine spreads that haven't been posted plus sure I can dig up a few other things for a stupendous post! Coming into this post already had planned out what was going to be in it which is about eighty new pics or perhaps even more. So look forward to that next post though Marupi's fan base here is just so-so in size but the way I adore her 😍 could be for the equivalent of a thousand people! She may not look it in the photos but last November Marupi did hit the age of 25, to me she is one of the most fun and interesting woman I've ever posted about! While it's true the way she's (un)clad in her gravure videos make you want to watch them you can tell by the way she talks how funny and intelligent she is. Have said a few times that gravure models seem to be the smartest group I post about, she did graduate from college exactly three years ago and for a while worked in an office so she's only been around for 2 1/2 years in the entertainment field.
After June of last year Marupi seemed to take an extended holiday, there was only one magazine she appeared in and while there were a few digital books they were from older photo shoots. But in September she dud appear in her first stage play and have a feeling these posts will be start being a bit more frequent. Below are some recent photos from her IG page, very few from photo shoots with the first pi being my fave of the bunch though the bottom one is also terrific!
Not that dramas are popular here but the amount of views recaps receive have been growing. Have three more episodes to go in the 1987/88 series "Shoujo Commando Izumi" and was thinking of making the 1985 show "Sukeban Deka 1" my next watch. Which will probably happen but may recap a second one at the same time though let me think a bit more about that. It's just a matter of WHEN for I will be getting to the "No.1 Sentai Gozyuger" series soon and did just skim through the first episode. Obviously brought that up for Marupi will be in the show and while she's had a few minor roles before this will be her first somewhat major role. The series began on February 16th, on January 25 there was a press conference for the show and also threw in a few promo pics of her character.
Below are a few screenshots from the first episode which was so action packed! In the series Marupi plays the role of Bouquet(the loving) and she's a part of the mysterious No One World. These series have fifty episodes so of course you only can learn so much from viewing just one show but I was very impressed with what I viewed. Six episodes have aired so far which means there's 44 more(!) so think I will let a few more air, say to about episode fifteen, and then begin to watch/recap it. Will give an ETA in her next post or in the recaps for the "Sukeban Deka 1" series.
Will end off with a pair of mag spreads, one new set and this first one is an encore viewing of what was in her last post. Marupi was the cover girl for the June 10th issue of WPB, it's such a fabulous spread so hated to see it become forgotten and bet many have never seen these photos before....
Will end off with another set from WPB which is from their March 10th edition. Once again Marupi was on the cover though with another gal but luckily the spread was just of her photos and in all honesty not many of the women I currently post about can top her alluring looks or at least to me!!!! Following the pics is a short video from the photo shoot, this spread is promoting a new Marupi digital book but this set is so large it could be considered a mini book!
Got one of the cutest faces I've seen on a gravure idol
