Minami Wachi: A little bit of this and that....

 


 Though August has been way too slow for happenings with my faves sure I could have done more posts. But I don't want to do posts just for the sake of doing them, after ten years am at the point where I don't need to introduce many new gals and just want to concentrate on the ones who I've been following for some years. There's this 'new wave' of gravure models who are kind of monopolizing the mag spreads the past few months and bet some viewers would really like them. However none of the models really stand out to me plus some are less than 22 in age so if we can grin and bear it for a few more days a busy stretch should be coming up. Next Saturday is the Autumn TGC show so there just may be twenty posts the following week as so many of my faves will be there. Do have quite a few posts that are only half done so that show should fill them out.



 Minami is one of my all time gravure models so it's kind of surprising this is only her twelfth post so guess that means those previous posts were quite large. In 2019 Minami finished 13th on the yearly fave's list but this is only her fourth post in the last 1 1/2 years. For some reason seems the photo shoots for slightly older gravure models has really slowed down the last year and can't give a good reason for that. But Minami is more than just a breathtaking model as she's one smart woman as she has a degree from Meiji University, because of that she didn't become a gravure model until she was 22 and will be turning 27 in January. Minami is a big soccer fan and has been the co-host of a show on Saitama-TV for over a year, she's also going to be in a film coming out next January.




 Minami's first photobook came out in February 2019 and that post for the PB was extremely popular, in case you missed it the link to it is above. Her second book will be coming out in two days, same date as a Nogi member's graduation PB but beside that there's not much competition so hope it does well as that may mean a third book. Have a few spreads for today that have outtake pics from the PB but first off are these pics from a Nikkan Sports interview to promote the book.






 Nice to see her dressed a bit normal now and again which doesn't happen too often here. Minami has had a Line blog for many years and she does a superb job at keeping it updated with pics and news, these are all from the past few weeks and how about that second to last pic!!!! Here's the link to her blog which is worth checking out: Minami's Line blog











 Title of Minami's second photobook is simply "WM" and the photo shoots took place in a few locations in Japan. Here's some promo pics from it and a few will be in the spreads but these are clean versions, that cover will definitely help sales!!!!













 On to the spreads and all will feature outtake pics from the photobook, first off is this set from the June 15th issue of Flash and it's the largest of the spreads.










 Actually thought there were four spreads for today but the total is just four, this set is from the September 4th Weekly Gendai





 Surprised there's been no recent WPB spread as Minami has appeared in that magazine too many times to count. Perhaps one is coming up and hopefully a few others, there will be an online session for the PB when it comes out on the 31st. Final batch of pics for today is from the August 31st issue of Flash. There hasn't been a new video in ages so after the pics have a sweltering one that's a promo for her first trading card collection that was released in April.
