Miru Shiroma: Few recent happenings part one....


 Don't know how it happened but completely missed the fact that NMB released a single two weeks ago. Have never missed an event like that and especially for a group who I've been a fan of for many years and still am. Title of the single is "Boko e Kaere!", first week sales were 195,000+ as it naturally topped the Oricon charts. Perhaps there wasn't as much promoting for the single but had noticed a few recent spreads for the members. So what I'll be doing is a group post very soon and perhaps by this weekend.
 But of course this is a Miru post and think it's her sixth solo one of the year which means she's now eligible for my top twenty list. She'll easily make it though won't have a top ten spot, figure for now she's around the 15th or so position which really isn't too bad as there's only three Idols above her. However none of them top Miru's breathtaking alluringness and if there was a list for hottest current Idol she'd finish no lower than second. Hmmmm, found out that 'alluringness' isn't a word so that's another new Nao creation.


 This is Miru's first post in two months, she had a slew of them in June when her first photobook was released. Thought it did well sales wise as it was #1 in it's first week on the Oricon charts selling about 21,000 copies and the total now is above 30 K. That's nothing compared to some Nogi members but for a '48' gal those sales are quite good. Have posted many outtake pics from the PB but here are some from the actual book.











 Whew, what another spectacular year for photobooks! The heading says 'part one' as there may be another Miru post within the next two weeks, she has a couple of mag spreads that will be coming out soon for Entame and Bubka where she'll be their cover girl for the October issue.


 It's okay to have non-gravure Miru pics now and again, I think she looks mighty fine dressed as she does in these pics which are from the Hominis site and are from an interview for the new single.








 Here's some more dandy pics of Miru dressed up a tad as today she was at the 2019 Autumn/Winter 'Kansai Collection' show which took place in Osaka and that's the home base of NMB. The group performed their new single at the show plus a few other members took a stroll on the catwalk and will have those pics in that upcoming group post. NMB has performed at other fashion shows but this is the first time I can recall Miru appearing as a model.











 There's the two upcoming mag spreads for Miru but do have a pair of brand new ones for today, has any Idol or model had the amount of dazzling spreads she's had the past two or so years? To me the answer is NO and this first set is from WPB #36 that has more outtake pics from the PB.








 Second Miru spread is from volume 46 of BLT Graph or more accurately their August edition. Unlike most idols Miru has a large amount of videos on YT from her magazine photo shoots, have one after the pics that has over a million views but you really can't go wrong with any of them.

  3. Got the scans from someone I know, do have more but just posted the best ones. Will have the full PB in the future but don't like to have a post for a book so soon after it's been released.

  4. Have you considered sharing the PB now that several months have passed and there are no scans online yet?

    Thanks.
