Minami Tanaka: Her onslaught of spectacular posts continues....



 It is a bit strange that a former 'Number One Fave of the Year' has had many posts after winning the 'award'. The three gals from 2015 to 2017 who topped the faves list kind of disappeared beginning the following year and don't think being #1 is a jinx! They didn't quite disappear but their activities slowed way down plus the posts that were done for them weren't nearly as good as the ones that helped them take the top spot. Also it seemed there was a big slowdown on activities and posts for the faves that finished in the second to fifth spots, wonder why that was?
 However the top gal or should I say top five from the past two years have had no slowdown and are getting as many posts as ever. Of course am bringing this up as Minami was my #1 fave for last year, she had quite a few posts in 2019 but think this year's pace is even higher. Minami hasn't been too affected by the slowdown though we haven't seen her at any kind of events for many months now. Bet mags and fashion sites had quite a few pics of her stored away so for now she has just as many pics as ever but what will be happening in two months?



 Lot of new pics for today but not much variety as they're all from either fashion/clothing sites or mag spreads. Minami's first photobook "Sincerely Yours" is still selling well as once again it was number one on the charts last week. But like all things the sales for it have really slowed down but think the total amount of copies sold to date is about 460,000 which is mind boggling and it's the biggest selling photobook of all time.
 Bet when things get back to being a bit normal sales will be much higher though not like they were in the book's first two months out. Sales of 500,000 will easily be topped and wonder if years down the road it may approach one million?! On to the new pics and though none of them are as heart attack inducing as the ones from Minami's PB all are ultra superb, actually will end off with some dazzling ones. These sites keep putting out new clothing pics and lines, wonder if their sales have decreased by a lot too? Would presume so as not many women can go out wearing them, this first batch is from the AnySis site.








 Many may forget but Minami was a long time announcer for TBS and still co-hosts a pair of talk shows. So these kind of fashion pics is what most people have seen her wear over the years, this next set is for Noela.








 One more batch of fine Minami fashion pics from Proportion.








 Here's another tidbit which most have also forgotten about, that's of Minami being the shortest woman I post often about as her height is just 152 cm. At 33 years old she's the oldest person to be my #1 of the year and still may think about letting previous winners be eligible to win again. On to the mag spreads and while there's about five of them most aren't that huge but least the way someone looks makes up for it. These top two pics are from the June issue of Ginger, at two pages why'd they bother? But following them is six pages from their May edition.








 Medium sized spread here from the May issue of Maquia. Noticed I forget to include another set of fashion pics, that's okay as they'll the beginning of her next post.






 One more small set from the May edition of More. Perhaps these spreads are a bit smallish due to there being no photo shoots going on and today's pics are from the magazine's vaults.





 That last Minami post had some breathtaking new pics for Unigrid. She's also in their new catalog, some of these are new while a few others were in that previous post.









 Will end off with some of those dazzling Unigrid pics that were in Minami's last post though the top one is new. Shame there's no CM of her modeling the lingerie, not sure if our hearts could take it! So after the pics have a Minami CM for Nivea that came out in February and hadn't been posted before.
