Ruka Kitano: Her third mesmerizing intro post....

 

 Third intro post says the title though of course she was included in five older SKE group posts, she may hit five of these solo ones by the end of the month! Sometimes I'm good at predicting who will be popular here and who won't but either way doesn't affect how many posts a woman will have if I like them. Which I can truly say is the case for me with Ruka and she was one woman who I was so unsure if you viewers would also like a lot and that answer came quickly. For the answer is yes as Ruka's first two solo posts zoomed into that section for most popular posts of the last thirty days and glad I decided to do some posts for her as she was a semi-fave of mine while with SKE. Really hope no one ever complains about some of her photos like the one right above, will say I am kind of shocked how scantly dressed she is for many of her photo shoots and can't think of another ex-Idol who has also been so daring.

 It's pics like the pair right above which made me first notice Ruka about five years ago. Those two were at the SKE group blog, in her last post said these current photos are so sizzling which of course is true but in a way I kind of prefer the ones such as those right above.... guess my oddness has hit a new level!!!! Also in her last post did mention how Ruka doesn't have a Ja.wiki page and that's so hard to believe as I often get some good info there and especially for dramas. Wonder if that means her popularity wasn't high enough but seems every other member who was with a '46' or '48' group for a long period of time has a page and if I could type in Japanese would create one for her. There is something I hadn't thought of about Ruka until now which is that her birthday falls on May 25th, she will be hitting the age of 26 this year. That's also the birthday of a massive ex-Nogi fave of mine who I have forgotten about so guess some sort of post will have to be done on that date for her.

 It'll be nice to have some new blood for the yearly faves list, this makes it three posts for Ruka in  the past month and six are needed to qualify. Which she will make so easily for after today will still have at least five more magazine spreads to post along with four more digital books and also a special version of her first regular photobook so she may be up to eight posts by June!!!! Wasn't going to do this post for another week but it has been a bit slow so didn't have much else plus Ruka has quickly become a fave of everyone's so why hold off on doing posts for her?! There is no good reason but won't make this as large as originally planned though of course there will a huge amount of cold shower inducing photos but perhaps this first batch won't be. For most ex-Idols usually have their monthly group cards if there are any but for her am going backwards by year, below are SKE cards for 2021 and don't know why but there so few for 2022 which goes for all members.

 Actually that above pic is brand new and for her first ever solo calendar, for her next post hope to have some event pics for it but think it was a low key occasion. For these first few Ruka posts will have an encore viewing of some of her older magazine spreads. To me all are terrific and as mentioned she did look so super years ago and what a shame there were so few SKE mag spreads after 2021. Plus many of these older spreads are ones some of you have never seen before and also I hate to see some fabulous older photos forgotten about. The set below is from the October 2019 edition of EX-Taishu, didn't Ruka look so tremendous back then too? To me the answer is a huge YES and she did lose a bit of weight since then though personally don't think she needed to.

 This below spread is much newer, as a matter of fact only ten weeks old and Ruka was the cover girl for the January 23rd issue of Big Comic Spirits. This set was promoting a digital book for them, when you compare these pics to the above ones hard to pick out which photos are better as Ruka looks like a few trillion yen in both sets!!!!

 We've hit the end already and though it may have felt like a small post it wasn't as there's eighty photos and maybe none of us can get enough of Ruka! For the finale have the Big Comic Spirits book which was released on January 6th and isn't too huge with just 41 pics but of course most are sizzling! After the pics is a short video from the photo shoot, usually these are over four minutes long but this one is only 49 seconds but least Ruka looks ultra amazing....
