Miku Kanemura: She too is jumping for joy with her own.... '𝑩𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒅 𝑯𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝑩𝒊𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝑷𝒐𝒔𝒕'!.... her 23rd....

 

 Second time I've been able to do back to back posts with the only two that have the name Miku at this blog! They are very similar in quite a few things as their birthdays are only two days apart, both are/were popular J-Pop Idols along with a few others plus.... both are massive favorites of Nao!!!! Though the Miku in the post below this one was my #1 Queen for 2024 I do prefer this Miku 😍 and have a feeling I'm not alone with that opinion! One other similar thing is that both of them were very popular here but in the last year the views for their posts have decreased and wonder why? In the case of Hina's Miku it's kind of understandable as it's been almost two years since her last gravure photos but that shouldn't change your views on any of the women I post about, isn't it awful hard to surpass that second photo above?!!!!

 Have discussed the situation with Hina and why it's so difficult to do posts for the members in the second generation. At one time I used to post semi-regularly about ten+ members from the first two generations but now am down to a pair and the other may finally have a post very soon. Miku is one of my ultra massive faves and though it's not easy to  have as many posts for her these days as so many newbies get the attention she is up to five posts for 2025, with any luck may have two more by the time the 'Nao Year' ends on November 30th. Last year this Miku finished in the fourth position on the fave's list, the previous year second(!) so you know how much I adore her.... to no end!!!! Because of the decrease in activities which means fewer posts Miku won't end up being my #1 Idol of all time and I really thought she had a chance of attaining that prestigious honor. But unlike so many others least I've been able to do these posts on a somewhat consistent basis, now that Miku is 23 in age I wouldn't be shocked if she did announce she will be graduating some time next year. Miku is one of those rare Idols who could have a successful solo career and if not always has her college degree to fall back on. Miku is one talented photographer and what I would give to be the cameraman at one of her photo shoots....

 This will be a good sized post with about 75 or so new pics but could have made this even larger. Would love to end the year on a high note for Miku with posts in each of the remaining three months, most of my goals for the year have been doable but not ones such as having monthly posts. In three days Hina will be releasing their 15th single "Onegai Bach" and I have never seen a group be as consistent as they are with the sales of their singles. Miku once had the center position which was for "Tteka" that came out in October 2021. It's their lowest selling single from the last four years yet it's my favorite so what does that say about me? For this new single Miku will be the co-center and if I can do a post for her in about three weeks will have much more info and such then, below are the covers.

 That above is the current Hina group, I've always much preferred smaller groups such as C-ute or Juice=Juice when they were in their prime as both just had five members. When you have a huge amount of members too many get left behind(ignored?) so what's the point of having such a large group? For it does lead to graduations and below could be the final photos we'll see of Miku with her 2G mate whose popularity has grown here but will I be able to have many more posts for her? The batch below is from Miku's IG page, the bottom one is from four days ago and her 23rd birthday but these stretch back until July so not as many photos as usual.

 There's been a slowdown on Hina group cards but Miku's latest ones do look quite terrific, these are from May and June which means if this is it many more are about to appear....

 Didn't include any of Miku's Bis modeling pics for today and those will be in her next post. She's also going to be the cover girl for a magazine coming out in another week plus in about three weeks think the Autumn 'Girls Award' show will be held, those are the best fashion shows though are only held 2-3 times a year. So because of those things hopefully her next post won't be too far into the future. On September 6th Miku was at the 41st Autumn 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show that was held at the Saitama Super Arena. She appears at all of these shows and took her stroll on the WEGO stage, the pics below it are from the show but could have had many more. At one time I really looked forward to these shows as so many women who I post about would appear and usually looked terrific, sometimes better than that! But not the past 2-3 years and these shows have become kind of drab so I don't check on everyone who attended as I'm usually disappointed. There's nothing wrong with the way Miku or any others looked but you have to admit the clothing is very Blahish if that's a word and hope my faves look better at the upcoming 'Girls Award' show.

 Will end off with a pair of magazine spreads, to me both are superb but seeing as how there's zero gravure photos there may not be many others who share my opinion. First off is a semi-older set from the June 11th issue of Weekly Shonen, of course I wish the spread could have been posted much earlier but it was kind of a slow Summer for Miku.

 Will end off with another Weekly Shonen spread which is brand new and from their September 24th edition. Miku was the cover girl for both issues and think she's had that honor a dozen times for this magazine. In 2021/22 no Hina member appeared in more magazines but what a drop there has been of them and wonder if some of that decrease has been her own decision? A few days ago brought up how I despise to no end how videos are now being dubbed in English and they are so atrocious!!!! Didn't think that would happen with a '46' group but lo and behold that dubbing is now taking place with new member's videos at the group's YT site so will never post any of them. That's a bummer as it's so hard finding videos for members and why not have them with optional subtitles which I bet would be the preference of most fans? After the spread is a video from the Bis magazine that was uploaded two weeks ago to YT and it's for Miku's photo shoot for their special Autumn issue. The video is only so-so but it's the only other new one and if you're a fan of Randy's Donuts(?) you may enjoy it....
