Kyoko Fukada: A true blast from the past....

 Definitely don't post about Kyoko as much these days though I would love to as she's remained a fave of mine which also goes for so many of you viewers. Even though she's not as busy these days used to be able to have a post every 2-3 months but this is her first one in almost seven which was for her last drama "Daughter of Lupin". Only recapped two shows but thought the series was a decent one and playing quirky characters fits her to a T.
 That drama ended almost five months ago and since then Kyoko has been one quiet woman save for an occasional mag spread. Not too much today but there are forty new pics and without a doubt she looks as terrific as ever. Kyoko is the oldest fave I post regularly about or at least try to, she turned 37(!) back in November but she beats the pants off of Idols fifteen years younger. One thing that didn't happen for her birthday was a new photobook, she had released four of them after turning thirty and perhaps she's waiting until she hits her next decade.

 Those top two pics are from when she was nineteen, the bottom two are after Kyoko turned thirty, I'll take the older version any day! Really can't complain about Kyoko taking a mini breather as no actress has appeared in more dramas then she has since 2000, I've seen ten of them and that's not even close to half. Not a huge amount of things for today, there's three recent mag spreads plus some terrific event pics and sure we'll be seeing much more of her as her vacation seems to have come to an end. First set of pics is a 2019 spread from the August issue of Biteki.

 Kyoko's photobooks the past seven years have simply been breathtaking but her mag spreads are usually conservative. Nothing wrong with that as she does have one very attractive face, second set is from the January edition of Camera Man.

 That bottom pic is certainly an ultra stupendous one! On the final spread for today and am holding one back just in case there's another post soon which I know we're all hoping for, she had the cover for the January issue of With.

 To me these are the top Kyoko pics of the day which are from a February 6th awards show. Name of the show was the 44th 'Elandor Prize Awards' ceremony and she was the presentor for the 'rookie of the year' award'. It went to her co-star of the "A Story to Read When You First Fall In Love" drama, it aired at the beginning of 2019. Don't know where they come up with these 'rookie awards' as the winner Yokohama had already appeared in seven dramas and ten films. Plenty of superb pics from the ceremony and doesn't Kyoko look so incredible? Of course the answer is yes but will skip a video from the event but after the pics have a new cm for Yokohama Tires which has a behind the scenes segment that's worth a view.

Kyoko Fukada: A mega amount of recent happenings....

 No new scantily dressed pics but this is going to be one of Kyoko's top posts to date and she's had quite a few of them though it never seems she has enough posts. What I noticed about these new pics is how much more beautiful Kyoko has become lately, she's always been a knockout but seems she looks ten years younger these days. She is the oldest woman I post about on a regular basis but seems there's only three or four posts a year though all must have seventy or more pics like today's does.
 Last September started on my 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list and don't regret any of the choices I made. Kyoko didn't make the list but she barely missed and think she was in the 22nd position. If that list was done today she would make the top twenty, so many of them have remained way too quiet and I'm tired of my bigger faves living off of what they did five or more years ago. Will eventually do another of those lists but wouldn't be for a while, if I'm still kicking perhaps next Summer? That's a year off and seemed I needed that time to compile the last list.

 Was just looking over the list of activities Kyoko has done over her career and it's incredible the amount of things she has done over the past twenty years. There's little doubt she's been the busiest actress in Japan as she's appeared in more dramas, films, CM's, events and other things then the next five actresses combined. The younger generation really needs to look to her as a Queen and try to follow in her footsteps.
 When I mentioned events Kyoko has appeared at so many over the years, bet I've posted about 25 of them and have three for today which have all taken place in the last two weeks. The first one was a press conference for a special NHK-Hokkaido TV movie for their 150th anniversary, now that I think about the movie aired tonight. It was titled something along the lines of 'Eternal Nishipa- The man who named Hokkaido'. As you can see her co-star is an Arashi member and though I can't stand the male J-Pop groups they're okay to me and do enjoy their variety show. They are disbanding next year and though AKB and Nogi may sell more singles they're still the #1 pop group in Japan.

 Kyoko's newest drama is titled "Daughter of Lupin" and it is a series I'm going to watch. Actually can't say will be watching as I already did view the first episode which aired on July 11th. Kind of a wacky show but one that appears is going to be a fun one but think I may wait until it finishes to watch the entire series and will be recapping it.

 On July 7th there was an event that featured the main cast and it's a very strong one though none are major stars. Except for Kyoko perhaps and to me her best dramas or films have been the ones where she plays some kind of daffy character and this role fits her to a T.

 Last post was done over three months ago and can't recall if this spread was in it. Even if it was sure most missed it and she was the cover girl for the April 2nd issue of Flash.

 Kyoko has been an exclusive model for andGirl for over two years now, was just at their site and grabbed these pics. Most are new though not all, remember at the top when I said how she's looking a decade younger? Pics here are good proof along with the ending batch.

 Plus she's the cover girl for their August edition.

 Have another Kyoko set from Flash magazine but this spread is from a special edition that came out last week titled 'Girl'.

 Whew, we've finally hit the end and to me these are the best pics for today. Kyoko will be turning 37(!) in November but tell me she doesn't look so much younger than that? On July 8th she was at an event, three in nine days(!), for Tokyo Gas to promote a new campaign of theirs to cut your energy bills. Sure if she walked into your residence you could turn the lights off as she certainly can light up a room!!!! The event was also to promote some new CM's for the company and have one after these tremendous pics.
