Minami Tanaka: Appears she wants to be #1 two years in a row!!!!



 It's the third post viewed post of the year but in case you missed the pics from the "Sincerely Yours" photobook the link to it is right above. Sales for everything in Japan these days are at an all time low from singles to books. Minami's first PB was the fourth best seller last week but only sold 3,400+ copies. However that brought the overall total sold close to 430,000 copies which makes it the highest selling photobook of all time, sure once things cool down the sales will once again be high.
 That top pic is one you'll be seeing again in this post and will end off with the set it's from. Figured Minami would slow down on gravure pics after the book came out, she did for a few months but had such a superb recent spread plus wait until you view the pics at the bottom. Unfortunately for her you can't be #1 two years in a row, once you're number one for a year you're ineligible for any more yearly lists and enter the 'Nao Hall of Fame'. Hope that doesn't make Minami too irate and wonder why that rule was made in the first place? She'd have an excellent shot at being #1 again this year.



 The slowdown on activities hasn't affected Minami that much and this is her third huge post in less than a month, maybe I will reconsider having a number one be allowed to defend her title. Minami co-hosts a a talk show and does quite a bit of modeling work, she's done a fair amount of events in the past but probably less than one a month. She's currently in a drama that began on April 18th called "M Loved Someone" which airs on TV-Asahi and Abema-TV. She's really increased her acting work in the past year, this looks like a quirky show and it's a shame it's not being subbed.






 Do prefer Minami without the eye patch but it still appears to be an interesting show. Just mentioned about modeling pics and she's also increased that kind of work tremendously the past two years. Spring always means many new modeling pics and these are from Mercury Duo.












 More pics from the More site and it almost appears she's now an exclusive model for them.






 Few new mag spreads, none are huge but there are some terrific pics. This first one is from the Tokyo Calendar web mag and that bottom pic is out of this world....






 Two smaller spreads here which are both from April issues, first five are from Baila while the others are from Biteki.










 This is kind of a half and half batch of pics. They're from the Sweet magazine site though many did appear in their May issue but thought the site pics were better as there's no text.









 We've hit the end and while didn't seem it there were over fifty new pics for today. This final set are among Minami's best ever but then again after her photobook pics and fabulous Anan mag spread perhaps not, she just has too many perfect pics and perhaps more than anyone else. These are brand new as she's now a model for Ungrid lingerie and hope these are just the tip of the iceberg as once again Minami has left us breathless. My only complaint is that there's no video but will keep my eyes open for anything, after the pics is a new short CM for Kirin beer.
