Manami Higa: Just because I.... 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒂 𝒑𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒉𝒆𝒓...

 

 Didn't think I would have time today for this post but all my plans worked out well and how often does that happen? Not often enough but did have everything set to go which made writing this much easier. Two days ago had a post for my recent movie watches and have decided to also use posts such as those for talking about some forgotten favorites who may never have anymore posts here though it won't be the case for all of them. For that last post I talked about Manami 😍 and after looking at her sensational photos knew she deserved to have a post and that was my number one priority as far as blogging goes! And it worked out well so may even have a second 'comeback' post next month. This is her first post in 3 1/2 years, some of that is my fault but it's also so much more difficult to do posts for women who are 35+ in age. Next June Manami will be hitting the age of forty and will be the first woman I've posted often about to hit that age but doesn't she still look a decade younger.... and also perhaps a bit better too?!!!!

 Up until 2015 Manami would have been in my top five on my 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list and in a way she was often my #1 during that period of time. When I did that list in the second half of 2018 Manami had slipped down to the 18th position but still made the list, she didn't make the cut for the second list done in the Summer of 2022. Manami has always been a very busy woman but not as much after turning back in June 2016. She still appears in so many dramas and not many actresses have been in as many as she has. But the problem is there haven't been enough other activities such as appearing in magazines or at events plus not too many modeling pics. Not having photos from those makes it so hard to do posts. But Manami did have a super duper photobook in 2022 and I've noticed in the past year she's begun to expand her activities a bit more, have a mag spread from a few months back that is close to being the top one of the year!

 Whew, that above is from Manami's third photobook which was released in February 2022 and she was 35 1/2 in age for the photo shoot but even at that age doesn't she look so tremendous? She sure does and for this post have some fabulous pics from the past year though wish there were more. Hmmm, there actually are so was thinking of making this a medium sized post with about sixty or so pics and then will work on another post for her which I'll have next month. Once again will blame myself for something and that's for overlooking Manami too often, especially when it comes to my lists. Have talked about if I had the choice(which is a dream!) of the woman who I would want most as a girlfriend being in the top spot is an ex-Nogi made followed by a regular and voice actress. But often fail to think of Manami 😍 and she would slide into the fourth spot on such a list, I've been ga-ga over her since 2008! In seven months Manami will be hitting the age of forty and she's never been married, it seems to be much more common these days for actresses or others in show biz to remain single well after they've turned thirty. Manami has 150 posts and not many actresses can top the amount that she has, that means there isn't much left to tell you about her career and such so if you want that info would recommend checking out her older posts.

 Hmmmm again, perhaps Manami 😍 is deserving of being #1 on the list for my potential girlfriend.... sure hope she's reading this!!!! Will have a little bit of this and that for this post, with all of the gravure models and J-Pop Idols I do posts for you wouldn't think Manami would be popular here but she is as her posts get a decent amount of views. Except for the bottom part the pics for today will all be from the past year and have never been seen here before. First up are a pair of sets of Manami modeling and she does a bit of that here and there though wish that would increase. The first four are from the Fashion Snap site, as you can see she's modeling some shoes and think she'll be at an event next week for the site. The other seven modeling pics are for Seiko watches, know that if I was with Manami 😍 wish the time would never end so who needs watches!!!!

 Here are some outstanding event pics which I had noticed when it occurred and was thinking it'd be the perfect time for her first 'comeback post', I quickly forgot all about them! On October 29, 2024 the 20th 'Clarino Beautiful Legs' awards ceremony was held and these photos were close to being the top ones from a 2024 event. This award show has been going on for twenty years and have had pics from it before for other women. There's four age categories, Manami won the award for best legs of a woman in their thirties and it should have been a higher award for besides that ex-Nogi member briefly mentioned not many top Manami's legs.... whewwww!!!! Before the pics is a video from the event, Manami's height is 169 cm or 66.5 inches, one of the other award winners looks taller than her in the bottom two pics but she had to wear high heels to barely eclipse Manami.

 

 

Here's one of the nicer surprises this year which is such a sizzling magazine spread from the June 4th issue of Anan. Manami was their cover girl and it was celebrating her 39th birthday which took place on June 14th, that's Flag Day here in America. In all honesty you have to admit Manami still blows away most women a decade or more younger than she is!

 Manami's third photobook " Honshin" aka True Feelings was released on February 24, 2022 and a month later was the last post she had until today. Let's have an encore viewing of this dazzling magazine spread that promoted the book and was from the March 7, 2022 issue of WPB, they're the publisher which released the book. If she released a book when she was 35 1/2 years in age am hoping Manami has one for birthday #40 for she still looks so darn enticing!!!!

 Will end off with some ultra superb pics from the photobook, there are many outtake pics in this batch and over half had never been posted before. At the time of this book's release there still had been a slight ban on events which is why there wasn't one for this book. The sales for this book were excellent and kind of surprised me, in week one it sold almost 7,000 copies and to me that was an impressive figure.... well, in a way it is but not as impressive as Manami's 😍 figure! There was no video from the book's photo shoot and she's never had a gravure video which is fine by me though will confess wouldn't mind seeing one. After the pics is one from 2022 and the travel magazine Tabiiro, Manami traveled to Hiroshima and gave us a brief tour of the city, she hails from Okinawa.
