Haruka Fukuhara: Yet again .... another in her series of.... ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ฑ๐ฆ ๐บ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฃ๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ธ๐ฉ๐ฐ ๐ด๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด posts....
November didn't have the most posts for a month yet had the longest streak of the year as there was at least one post for the first 23 days of the month! In an oddity it appears December will have the shortest streak of the year as after this first day odds are high there won't be one tomorrow! Guess I could have set this to be published tomorrow but think it'll end up being a fabulous post and why hold on to it? Just have a few tasks to do on Tuesday and by the time I get home from work and do whatever it'll be too late to start on anything so that should leave you time to check out the other 9,000 posts here!
Every now and again a massive favorite pops into my head and won't disappear until she has a post, really can't complain about that! So obviously the woman was Haruka ๐ and though I moan about missing doing posts for so and so there's no one I've missed doing posts for more than Haruka! However they've never been easy to do though was able to do thirty in this vein from 2019-22, her first post ever was done in 2018. For three consecutive years she made the top eight in my fave's list and that's not a feat which has been done too often. But once again Haruka didn't qualify for the fave's list as she only had three posts after having four last year and five in 2023.... hmmmm, have you noticed how they've decreased each year? But hopefully not for the 2026 'Nao Year' which begins today, I think there's an excellent chance of having a post three weeks from today and vow to do whatever it takes to double the three posts she had this year into at least six for 2026!
A few times have mused about that of all the women I've posted about over the years(many hundreds!) who would I want more than anyone else to be my girlfriend?! Of course odds are slim to none of that ever happening and since I thought about that #1 has always been Mai Shinuchi from Nogi. But if you've read those musings you would have recalled in second place it's always been Haruka and one of these days she could easily take over the top spot, the third position would be Nagisa from the Liella! voice acting troupe. So that's an honor for Haruka along with being in the top eight on the fave's list for three years. So I'm expecting her to appear on the third 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list when it begins eight months from now. Looking back on it she should have been on the 2022 list and have a feeling I will always overlook someone on that list or other kinds of lists too! Haruka should have been a woman who had a top five position sewn up but the lack of posts for the last three years are a factor so for now would think she would slide into the twelfth position. But there still is time to move up a few spots so having many more posts should be helpful and will be a goal of mine for the upcoming year.
Of course being older like Akari is an advantage as I can go back many years to find many activities that have never been posted here. Haruka is no longer that young of a woman as she'll be hitting the age of 28 next year so why can't I go back and find missed things for her also? The only reason is that I haven't worked hard enough but as I've said twice already vow to have many more posts for her starting today! This does make it 89 posts for Haruka, there's really no chance she'll hit a hundred next year but should be able to in 2027. For today have about fifty new photos, a magazine spread that has been seen here before though bet it's been forgotten about and also 15-20 older pics that are new for here. Haruka does have a film coming out on December 19th so am planning on having her next post a few days later. As the title says hope a few of you remember her and she's only been so-so popular here over the years but how she makes my heart beat that much faster.... whewwww....
Gulp, well if she insists will obey her command and don't wake me up until this dream is over, gulp again! The last two years haven't had much luck with Haruka's dramas, the two I wanted to view haven't been subbed and the two that were done weren't ones that interested me. But I have seen her in three films and eleven dramas, her latest series from the Summer was titled "A Brighter Tomorrow" and that's a show which I did want to view. Watched the first episode with subs and thought it was an okay beginning but the person doing the project seemed to abort it, one of my bigger faves from Nogi has a large role in the series. So just may watch the other subbed episodes so I can talk about it but how I hate watching half a drama and not knowing how things ended. This ended up being one of my longest intros and everything just came to me as I was typing, haven't done enough posts for Haruka lately so it felt kind of nice being able to talk about her for a while.
Will begin off with some recent photos from Haruka's IG page but she's never been one to post many, usually about one a week! So these go back to her August 28th birthday and on that date she hit the age of 27, even though she's still young you can see in the bottom two pics Haruka will be celebrating twenty years in show biz and has a party or two coming up this month for her fan club members.
Haruka does so much modeling yet never seems to stick with a fashion site or brand for more than a few months. Perhaps she doesn't have time because of her busy acting schedule but least in most of her posts have had some fabulous modeling photos but often it's a one and done deal with a site. Have two smaller sets of modeling pics which hadn't been posted before with this first batch being from Ginger and they came out in the Summer of 2023.
Also from the year 2023 is this set from the Classy site, they came during the Autumn and I think that first photo is just so super duper!
Had a pair of newish Haruka magazine spreads in her last post but there's been none since then so how about an oldie yet goldie?! This is a very ancient spread from the April 8, 2016 issue of Young Animal and what makes it somewhat special is that it was her first time as a cover girl.
As mentioned earlier have seen Haruka in eleven dramas and three movies but wish the total was higher but not everything she appears in has been subbed. Haruka's never been in a 'bad' show or movie but her lighthearted roles aren't nearly as good as her more serious roles such as in the "My Girlfriend is a Serial Killer" movie and the "CHEAT" drama. I wouldn't consider the two seasons of "Yuru Camp" to be too lighthearted and I enjoyed that show though season two kind of tapered off towards the end. Guess what I mean to say is Haruka's rom-com or romance dramas/films are really just so-so and haven't viewed all of them even though most have been subbed. On December 19th Haruka's next movie "Kaede" will be released and as usual she'll have the main female role in the film. It appears to be a partial romance story with a twist as her character Ako had been dating a man named Kei, unknown to Ako he had died in an accident. Stepping in to take his place was Kei's twin brother Ryo and that was unknown to Ako though you wonder how? Below are the posters and some promo pictures for the movie which comes out on December 19th, after them is a trailer for the film.
The next post for Haruka will be right after the main premiere for the film or in about three weeks. There were two recent events in Osaka to promote the "Kaede" film, below are ones from the second that took place on November 23rd. Haruka was with her co-star and the movie's director, the event took place at Namba Plaza and the trio turned on the plaza's holiday lights.
Will end off with another batch of event pics, Haruka looks so darn terrific at them and she doesn't need to dress skimpy to get my heart beating out of control. On November 28th she attended a new UGG pop up store opening which took place in Ginza, two other of my fave women also were in attendance. After the pics is a short video from the event and for her few but loyal followers here will be back in about three weeks for Haruka's second post of the month.
