Minami just may be my fave Japanese name plus there's at least four of them I try to post about on a regular basis, the one with the last name of Tanaka should be having another post soon. She's a huge new fave of mine like today's gal but neither of them top the female who finished #2 on my all time list. Just introduced this Minami about a month ago and already she has five posts, should have another one or two for her 2017 happenings.
What I'm slightly worried about is that Minami may be taking another extended break soon. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't colleges in Japan begin their first semesters in April or May? Brought that up because I think Minami passed the entrance exams to Todai University, she's already a graduate of Meiji and was wondering if she needed to devote most of her time towards her studies. Perhaps that's why she's been so busy lately, needs that $$ before she attends school.
EDIT: Just did some checking and it appears she did not pass the entrance exam as her total was 626 which just missed by a few points, for now she says there are no plans to retake the tests. More on that at the bottom and wonder what the cutoff level is to pass the exams? Have viewed "Dragon Zakura" at least ten times and don't recall what the passing scores were to get in and perhaps it was never mentioned.
Whew, that's really the only adjective we'll need for most of these pics. Minami released her first photobook on February 25th, have many pics and such about it towards the end of the post. But in these posts have been working backwards with her mag spreads, think there's one more for 2018 that hasn't been posted yet but for today will skip that and have 2017 sets. That was the first year of her being a gravure model, as mentioned above she had attended Meiji University and am still amazed that being a gravure model seems to be a better paying gig than a profession with a degree. First off for 2017 sets is this spread from the October 6th issue of Friday.
Another Friday spread but it's from a special issue called 'Gold' that came out in November 1st.
Know it's hard to keep your eyes off certain assets but i think Minami also has such an attractive face. Final spread for 2017 is from the July 24th edition of Young Magazine.
Title of Minami's first photobook is "Ichuraru", as mentioned it came out on February 25th. Pics for the PB were taken in Thailand during December, some magnificent promo/outtake ones from it.
Just two new small spreads for the book but did have a pair of new ones in her previous post. This first set that has some outtake pics from the PB are from the March 5th issue of SPA!.
Second way too small spread is from volume 13 of Young Magazine.
Today, which is March 2nd, Minami held an event for the photobook at the Sanseido bookstore which is in Skytree Station. She did talk about not passing the Todai exams, she studied sixteen hours a day but have heard those entrance tests are so extremely difficult. She still has a degree from Meiji so Minami always has something to fall back on though her modeling career is certainly going well. You will notice she does like to bend forward quite often and she may as well promote her valuable assets. No video of the event but do have a superb short one after the pics from a 2018 photo shoot.
