As was the case for the previous post have wondered why some gals aren't more popular here but then again am pleasantly surprised at some that are. One definitely is Hiroe and she's such a fave of you viewers, didn't check out any stats but bet she's one of the most popular actresses I post about. I like her immensely too as Hiroe did make my top twenty faves list in 2019. Didn't happen this year as there was a stretch of about six months without a post, but she's had three since October and would love to see her qualify for next year's list.
First noticed Hiroe in the 'Kamen Rider Zero-One' series, didn't finish it but did view about twenty episodes and really liked her stern character who could also transform into a Kamen Rider. While those shows are so enjoyable and interesting they're also a bit too long, that series aired from September 1, 2019 until August 30th. Those shows also have a few spin off movies and on December 18th 'Kamen Rider: Real X Time' was released. No pics from it's premiere as there many not have been one but there was an event held for the movie on December 10th.
Pics here are from a Mantan Web interview for the film but also for her first photobook.
Had been holding on to most of these pics as I didn't think the PB was coming out until January 11th, think that was the original date for it but it came out on December 19th. Don't know what the sales were in it's first week as that doesn't come out until Friday but have noticed sales of books have fallen the past two months. That's mainly because there's been way too many that have come out and the market is a bit too saturated. Not that many advance pics came out for the PB but have some here though there's more in today's spreads.
Hiroe has been a model for the More magazine for many years now and wish more mags would sign her up. Here's a few recent pics from their site and am holding many back for her next post.
Now on to Hiroe's mag spreads and this first pair don't feature outtake pics from the PB. Top five are from Maquia's January issue while the bottom two are from December.
Title for the photobook is "My Girl", it's Hiroe's first regular book but she's had 3-4 digital ones for WPB and those have all been terrific sets. This and the next set feature outtake pics from the book and this spread is from the December 21st issue of WPB, while she's had those digital books for them the PB was put out by the BLT magazine.
Pics for the PB were taken in Okinawa and this final spread which is way too small is from the December 25th edition of Friday. In one of Hiroe's October posts had a spread from an August WPB issue. They also put out a DVD that featured many of the gals and have a short promo video of it after the pics, it's her only semi gravure one to date.
Think most of these 'Top Twenty Faves' posts will be normal sized which usually means fifty or so pics. Some though will be quite massive and as mentioned above think the post for #17 may be the biggest and best one, be sure to check that one out which should be on Sunday or Monday. Some though will be rather small and once again as I mentioned in the above post #16 is proving difficult as there's been hardly any new pics the past month, hopefully some things will arise soon.
This is kind of a medium sized post as there aren't many new pics for current happenings. But there is a huge amount of new pics for here as there were many Hiroe happenings from earlier this year I never got around to having in her posts, this is her seventh one since September. This may be the biggest surprise of anyone making the list as I did say it was long shot for her to make it. But I have become such a huge Hiroe fan these past four or so months since her first into post in July, will make an early prediction saying if she stays busy next year a top ten spot is awaiting her.
The main reason it took so long to begin posting about Hiroe is that she went to Waseda University and graduated this Spring. She had been active during college but mainly as a model but did film a movie shortly before she graduated. Not positive but think five of the top twenty are college graduates, she's also the tallest gal to make the list as her height is 170 cm.
Few recent Instagram pics but can't say she's the greatest of posters.
As a few of you may know from reading the recaps Hiroe is currently starring in the "Kamen Rider Zero-One" show, will have two more recaps coming up tomorrow. Her character's name is Yua Yaiba who can also transform into a Kamen Rider, I think she looks so fabulous in the show. What I truly enjoy about Hiroe is how she doesn't have the figure of a gravure model nor the face of a traditional model, more of a down to earth look which has really captivated me.
Hiroe has been an exclusive model for the More site since December but haven't seen her in any of their mags. Have posted many pics in all of her posts and these are her first ones for the site which should make the collection complete.
The movie(s) Hiroe filmed while in college was 'Shigatsu no Kimi, Supika" which came out on April 5th. Posted her pics from the premiere but these are from a special screening on March 28th.
The other film she did shortly before graduating college was "The Legend of Kronos Jounter" which also came out in April. The first screening it had took place at the fourth 'Akihabara Film Festival' which is the main otaku section of Tokyo and the event took place on January 12th.
Another film Hiroe starred in this year was "Aesop's Game", had pics from it's premiere in an earlier post. The film came out on August 16th and these pics are from an interview for it with the Crank site, you can see how she towers over her co-star.
Finishing 19th is quite impressive considering how I didn't hear about her until April but her good mate will have a position much higher, perhaps eighth?
Only two pages from the November issue of Vivi, why'd they bother?
Slightly bigger Hiroe spread from the December edition of ar.
Will end off with this spread from the June 6th issue of Young Jump, it was in her first intro post and was also Hiroe's first gravure spread. Realize she's not a bodacious model as too many are but she looks pretty darn good to me. No Hiroe gravure videos on YT which is fine with me so after the pics have an new CM for 'JR Kyushu' which is actually quite enjoyable.
