Yuria Kizaki: 𝑨𝒏𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒍𝒐𝒔𝒕 𝒇𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒅 𝒃𝒚 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒍𝒆𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒕 Doctor Nao!!!!

 


 A few times have moaned about what a brutal Winter it's been and that's been no exaggeration! I can never recall having a day off because of snow though it happened enough in my old school days, it wasn't that long ago but these days it seems like ancient history! The point being for the second time in a month there was no work because of the snow, not just where I am but the city is in a partial state of emergency. So when I'm extremely old will have something to talk about to the youngsters when I say.... 'Yep, I remember back in the Winter of 2026 when(Fill in the blanks)! It is so bad outside so I have no desire to venture into the storm so what better way spend a day than reviving such a long time but often forgotten favorite of mine!


 Have talked on occasion how there's this smallish group of women who I like immensely but they'll never do well on lists due to lack of posts. Not sure who #1 would be on that list which could have up to ten women but know Yuria 😍 could end up in that top spot! She was one of my top J-Pop Idols back from 2015 to 2017 but had left AKB in September of that year, she also appeared on a dozen SKE singles. Sometimes it can be difficult finding the right words to describe something, it doesn't happen often with me but it does when talking about Yuria. She's the kind of woman who usually does well on my lists and should be in my top ten of all time!!!! However that will never happen as this is only her twelfth post but did mention Yuria in a post last week and she should have another near the end of March. For a while Yuria was sick which was off and on from 2019 to 2021, she even retired at the end of 2021 because of her health. But exactly three years ago Yuria did make her return to show biz and according to her is doing better than ever with her main activity being acting, bet Yuria's appeared in at least fifteen stage plays the last 2 1/2 years.



 An excellent drama from late 2019 was "CHEAT" which starred two of my favorite actresses. I watched the entire ten episode series but for some odd reason only recapped up until the sixth show, think I may have to rewatch it. For in the seventh and tenth episodes Yuria was the main guest star and to be totally honest don't think I've ever seen someone who looked so darn attractive in a drama!!!! My jaw dropped to the ground when Yuria 😍 was on the screen and why wouldn't I have taken screenshots of her? Am so baffled why that happened, Yuria has been in many plays but hasn't had a beefy role in a drama. This post isn't a large one but jump at the chance when I can do one for her, have about forty new photos for here plus some terrific old pics which have been forgotten about or perhaps never seen if you're not aware of who Yuria is. She was with AKB from late 2010 until September 2017, at the time thought she graduated too early and still think that as she was just 21 in age. Yuria was also a member of SKE from 2010 to 2014 and appeared on most of their classic singles.



 What an unbeatable duo they are above, of course it's Akari with her and once again vow to work on a 'Pairs Post' for them. Back to Yuria and her magnetism, it's hard to explain why someone gets your blood boiling to a zenith but she's done that and is another woman I post about who is 30+ in age and still single.... hmmmm, hope one or both gals above are reading this! Yuria just hit the age of thirty on February 11th, she hails from Aichi which is a main reason she was also in SKE as that's where the group is based and I think she still lives there at least PT. Let's get to things and below are some photos from Yuria's IG page which stretch back to Christmas, the top ones are from birthday #30 and of course her closest mate was there. Plus there's a few other pics with Akari and the pair are such good buddies, the duo also love the spirits and could probably drink us under the table!!!!





















 Because Yuria left AKB at an early age she didn't have a vast amount of cards for them, below are her final ones from 2017. There are many cards from 2010-14 but don't want to have those for she was just a teen at the time.















 In some unexpected but ultra fabulous news is that a week ago Yuria announced she would be releasing her third photobook on March 25th!!!! That news came out of nowhere and is the reason there should be at least one post for her at the end of next month. Below are some early promo pics for the book and hope she has some fans left as Yuria is looking so mighty fine! The photo shoot took place in Vietnam and it's her first set of gravure pics in 8 1/2 years.








 There probably won't be many magazine spreads to promote the book but do have a smallish set that just came out from the March 3rd issue of Flash.





 How about a much larger mag spread and this set is exactly eleven years old, Yuria was the cover girl for the March 2015 edition of Entame.... that bottom pic.... whewwww!!!!











 Will end off here, do have many more older photos but let me hold on to those for hopefully two upcoming posts. Yuria's second photobook was titled "Stagedoor" and was released on September 15, 2017 which was right around her graduation from AKB. A year ago did a repost for the book as I had gotten a better version, have the link to that post which deserves many more views! For it may have been my top post done in 2025 for besides the book also had two mag spreads that promoted it, some pics from an event for the plus some other tidbits. No new videos but after the pics is one I had never seen before from 2015 and the Summer edition of the 20+Sweet magazine. It's a spread I've never seen before so let me hunt it down and wonder if there's other oldies from Yuria I've overlooked?
