That first pic was such a good luck charm for Kumi's first ever solo post thought why not lead off solo post #2 with it! So while this is just Kumi's second solo post did mention she may hold the record for most photos in group posts, that would include all J-Pop groups. The 2026 'Nao Year' began on December 1st and the post for Kumi's photobook done on December 26th currently has 1,525 views which is the most popular post to date! But it's slipped down in that section for most viewed posts of the past month and will probably drop off within the week. So decided it's time for her second solo post and did title this 'Number One' as I think there could be four or more posts in this vein but will space them out. The goal for the second post was to do it around January 22nd as that's when Kumi celebrated her 30th birthday, am a tad late with this but the important thing is her second post is done....
Kumi had been with Hina since day one and was their first captain, with a height of 168 cm she was the group's tallest member for many years.
Kumi wasn't among Hina's most popular members but she was always a favorite of mine and didn't seem to bother her that others got more attention. So I had wondered if
Kumi was going to remain in show biz after her April 6th graduation, she has for within that next month opened a fan club and her own web site. Plus
Kumi co-hosts and is a reporter for the "Sports Real Live" show and appears on many other variety shows, she also did three guest appearances on a drama. She also hosts her own radio show and hopefully
Kumi will keep appearing at those larger fashion shows so it'd be nice if these kinds of posts could continue on for a while.
Those two were much closer than I had thought and were very good friends, how I miss my #1 woman(
Risa) of all time!!!! Have a little bit of a lot for today and that be the same for all of
Kumi's posts, first off are these recent posts from her IG page with the top two being from her January 22nd birthday.
It's only eight days to Valentine's and doesn't seem to be a day
Kumi is too fond of as this is it for photos. However that bottom pic is something else and no need to fight over me as I could somehow grin and bear it with the pair!!!!
Four of the above pics were for the 'Uni's on Air' web game, they used to put out terrific monthly photos but that's thing of the past. Below are
Kumi's final pics for the game which are from 2024 with the top four being from January 2025.
Below are some fabulous 2023 modeling pics from the
Ray site but those have no ceased.
Kumi was a model for them from February 2019 until March 2025, she left just before her Hina graduation. Have noticed what is way too common is of Idols not remaining with a modeling site or magazine when they leave their groups.
Kumi used to appear in most
Ray issues though her spreads were rarely that huge, this mini set is from their May 2022 edition.
Like most ex-Idols we may seldom see
Kumi appear in many future magazines but she did have quite a few spreads while with Hina. She's even graced a few covers and
Kumi had that honor for the November 15, 2023 issue of
Weekly Shonen, bet a Hina member has been the cover girl fifty times.
In the beginning said how the post for
Kumi's photobook will be dropping out of that section for most popular posts from the past month. So when it does here's the link to it and may include it in all future
Kumi posts as what a dazzling book it was, they don't have the most books but the ones from Hina may be the best of any J-Pop group:
"Mekuru Hibi" photobook
We've hit the end of this post,
Kumi's book was very popular with you viewers but will posts such as this one be? The photo shoots for the "Mekuru Hibi" took place in Malaysia and Tokyo, below are pics from an event held last March 25th for the book. That was also the release date of the book and twelve days later
Kumi had her graduation concert at Yokohama Stadium. It just popped into my head that this is the third post this week for an ex-Hina member, don't expect that pace to continue!
