Minami Sengoku: Few recent happenings....




 Just because there's two graduations taking place next week doesn't mean these Up Up Girls posts will be stopping. There won't be too many solo ones for the members but should be plenty for many older things plus whatever new happenings that will be occurring.
 "ENJOY!!ENJO(Y)!!" is the B-side off of their December 25, 2013 single "Nijiiro Mosaic". Like most of their singles it had a respectable showing as it reached #26 on the charts but UUG's three best selling singles followed this one. This is a live version, there's also a English subbed PV on YT but really enjoy watching these gals in concert and the above is from January 2014.


 Not too many recent Minami happenings as I've been keeping up with her activities along with the ones for Up Up Girls. Just like posting about her so much and there should be 3-4 more posts coming up this month but have noticed for some reason she's not overly popular here. As it stands right now Minami would be #1 for this year's top twenty faves list. Much can happen as there's still over three months to go in the year but think it's going to be difficult for anyone to top her.


 Minami will be graduating in eight days from UUG but that doesn't mean she'll be going away. She just announced on 'Showroom' that she'll be appearing in a stage play this December. Also on her graduation day Minami will be releasing her first photobook, no Idol has deserved one more than she has the last five years. Posted a few of these pics but the second one is new which is another cover for the book and if these advance pics are any indication of what the rest of the PB will be like....





 Minami along with the other UUG members does an excellent job at keeping their blog and Instagram sites updated and bet she won't stop even though she's leaving the group. First are from last week's 'Showroom' where she had been doing some promoting of the new PB, bottom one is a group pic and Minami truly looks so out of this world!













 Been many Up Up Girls events and shows recently promoting their fourth album which came out two weeks ago. Will have more news and pics in their next group post, stupendous pics here are from August 19th when the group performed at the 'Meet the Idol' fest at the Akiba Cultures Theater.














 Lastly Minami will be appearing in a film that will be released the day after her graduation. Title of it is "Gekijouban Hontou ni atta Kowai Hashi 2017", she'll be starring in the second segment. Must be a really low budget movie as I couldn't find a trailer for it, one more UUG member will be in the film. Here's the poster for it though and hopefully we'll be seeing her at the movie's premiere, no video so how about an oddball yet breathtaking one of Minami to end the post off with.
