Welcome to this Baka's blog on his fave Japanese Pop Culture interests.
Welcome to my humble site....
Hajimemashite minna san....welcome to my site on my fave Japanese Pop Culture likes such as dramas, movies, magazine scans, promo events etc. Mainly concentrate on my faves...Risa Watanabe... Miku Tanaka... Yui Kobayashi....Ruka Kitano.... Nene Shida....if you're a fan at all of any of them then you've come to the rightplace(!) but many others are featured here besides them. Do mainly quick reviews on things I've watched, try to make the reviews brief, quick to read through with not too many spoilers, just whether they're good or bad and why I thought so plus whether you may find them enjoyable. Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available. Hope you find something that interests you, don't hesitate to comment, arigato gozaimasu!
The weather is still horrid where I live but least there was a reward for living through the storm(s). Which is of having today off because almost every place in the city is closed and that's such a rarity.... hmmmm, perhaps more than just a rarity as I can't recall that ever happening before but you won't hear me complaining about having a day off! So once again my taking a breather from blogging has been put on hold, it's still incredibly bad outside so decided to work on something for today and as the title says Who better to warm us up on such a frigid day? Not many and this makes it back to back posts for the two women who were the biggest surprises of 2025 and maybe ever here! Both gals I've really liked for a while but hadn't been able to do many posts for them while they were with their groups. But in the last sixteen months not many if any have had better or more steamy gravure photos than the pair, in the case of Ruka has any model had more revealing pics?!!!!
Right after I wrote up that last sentence something popped into my tiny brain and there's enough empty space there! That's of six current or ex-SKE member making the yearly faves list, Ruka was in the fifth position last year and just may move up a spot or two in 2026. That total of six members is only eclipsed by Nogi who have had had ten current or graduated gals make the list. Of course it's been easier to do posts for Nogi over the past thirteen years but I've often said how SKE's singles were better and that their members were actually hotter. Nogi has had many desirable women over the years but I kind of prefer the members of SKE over any group and I also liked how they've kept their members longer. I still enjoy the singles SKE puts out but don't know the members as well these days and guess I really need to change that but I rarely see any appear in magazines or at events.
There's not much more to add in about Ruka as she's had the second most posts of anyone since last March. She had fifteen from then until the end of November, the 'Nao Year' begins on December 1st and this is her fourth since then. That means there's a three way tie of women with four posts, who will hit five first to be eligible for this year's faves list? Besides doing so much gravure modeling in 2025 Ruka also did a lot of acting, she had the lead role in a Summer web drama and was in six stage plays with her last being in December. One thing Ruka is not good at is posting photos at her IG page, she's had zero since the beginning of the year. So will have these older SKE cards and all should be brand new for here, the top are the only ones she had for Valentine's Day and the rest are for New Year's.
Ruka never had enough things for a solo post while with SKE but she was featured in at least five group posts and have said how I've liked her so much for about eight years. Ruka does look better these days but there's that something about her older pics from SKE which make her a bit more steamier, either Ruka 😍 is more than oki doki with me!!!! Here's what could have been Ruka's top spread while with SKE and it's from the October 2019 edition of EX-Taishu.
Here's a newer EX-Taishu spread from last July, of course Ruka looked so terrific but as I said there's that something about her older pics and mag spreads which I prefer a tad more and it's kind of hard to put into words.... that doesn't happen often with me!
On December 19th Ruka's second photobook "The Birth of Venus" was released, there's two versions of the book and will post both of them. The photos in the books are completely different, below are a few from the regular version. I always wait at least three months before doing a post for a regular book so will have the regular version on April 1st, the other version a month later.
Will end off with Ruka's latest digital book to date which was released on December 28th and naturally it's a must view for any Ruka fan. This pictorial has the title of "Heat Wave" and was released by the Good Press site, it's a series they have featuring models but it's the first time someone I post about has been their featured model. Know I gushed about the 'old' Ruka above but there's absolutely nothing wrong with the way she looks these days which is better than almost any other woman I post about! There was no video for this book but after the pics have one that came out in November for the Young Dragon Age magazine, wish there was more variety in the longish video but the way Ruka 😍 looks once again has left me at a loss for words....
