Ruka Kitano: Her scorching newish "Bomb" digital book plus some other warm treats for a cold and snowy day....

 


 Most photos in posts are terrific but there's those that are heads and tails above most others such as that first pic above, I've begun posts with that one before as that's one of my huge favorites from the past year. The new 'Nao Year' began five weeks ago and so far it's similar to 2025 as it seems a group of women, about ten, have been dominating the posts again. That's not a bad thing as it's meant at least a post a day recently though I am missing doing posts for more gals but December and January tend to be slow months and perhaps because of Winter which has been so brutal where I'm from. Speaking of that group of women last year the top eight for posts had a combined 120 of them or fifteen per women. That was 28% of last year's posts and that may be a record for so few dominating the amount of posts and today's honoree is one of those gals.

 

 Those two right above are from another Ruka book and will be having that very soon. In 2025 Ruka had fifteen posts and for the first time ever was eligible for the fave's list, she finished in the fifth position and is there any chance of her having another tremendous year? I think so and she may finish higher than fifth this year as Ruka's already had three posts with another coming up soon and I'll predict many more after that! Last Summer Ruka took a long break to film a drama and also did the photo shoot for her second photobook, I was glad we had a breather from her for a while. Ruka had more digital books than magazine spreads last year which is such a rarity. After a while the photos in the books all started to look so similar and blended in with each other, her posts were seeing a decrease in views so you readers may have thought like I did. But that 2-3 month break ended up working out so well as to me Ruka 😍 is looking better than ever plus she's been doing other things such as gravure modeling. I don't expect her to be battling it out to be my #1 Queen for the year but then again I wouldn't mind seeing that happen and it would be nice to see such an underdog top all of my long time favorites!

 

 In some very good news Ruka finally has her own Ja.wiki page and that was created within the last two weeks. I could never understand why she never had one as Ruka was with SKE for so long plus has been so busy since her June 2024 graduation. There wasn't much at the page I didn't know about but it's so nice to everything at one place to get info quickly. There are four sections to this post with over eighty new pics along with some oldies so almost a hundred and I give up in trying to make posts smaller. Ruka's second regular photobook was released on December 19th, not sure of the sales as Oricon hasn't updated their charts for over a week. What we need much more of in 2026 is Ruka attending events, she did so two days after the book came out. Doesn't she look so fabulous in this batch of pics(?), I think so and though Ruka's gravure pics are so sizzling I want to see her dressed like this more often in the future.

















 "The Birth of Venus" is the title of Ruka's second book and I think that's a neat title. The photo shoot took place on Goto island which is near Nagasaki, Ruka hails from Gifu which is north of Nagoya. There are two versions of the book, a regular one and a web version that is entirely different. I always wait at least three months before posting regular photobooks so was thinking that the regular version will be posted on April 1st, the web version on May 1st. Ruka's first photobook that came out in September 2024 was a good seller plus was so shocking as I couldn't believe how little she left to our imaginations. But none of us are complaining as Ruka is so darn hot yet adorable which is how I've thought of her for about six years. Below are some promo pics for the book, many were in a previous post but a few are new for here and once again Ruka left little to our imagination....










 
 This is the slowest time of the year for magazine spreads as many of them double up in their issues. But in another week or two things will be back to normal and know that Ruka will be the cover girl for two upcoming spreads. But seeing as how there's no new ones for today how about an ultra terrific spread from exactly a year ago and the January 23rd issue of Big Comic Spirits. Not 100% sure but think this may have been the first time Ruka had a solo magazine cover.














 We've hit the finale and have the Bomb magazine digital book that was released on December 24th and contains 65 photos. Ruka had another book come out four days later and that you will be seeing by the end of the month. One other thing we need more of in 2026 are gravure videos, there are none for this book but do have one after the pics. Which was from a Young Dragon Age photo shoot that took place many months ago, this could be Ruka's 😍 best video to date and I don't know how others feel about her but she looks better than 99% of the women I post about and being #1 for this year just may happen!
