Welcome to this Baka's blog on his fave Japanese Pop Culture interests.
Welcome to my humble site....
Hajimemashite minna san....welcome to my site on my fave Japanese Pop Culture likes such as dramas, movies, magazine scans, promo events etc. Mainly concentrate on my faves...Yui Kobayashi... Miku Tanaka... Nagi Inoue....Maria Makino.... Nene Shida....if you're a fan at all of any of them then you've come to the rightplace(!) but many others are featured here besides them. Do mainly quick reviews on things I've watched, try to make the reviews brief, quick to read through with not too many spoilers, just whether they're good or bad and why I thought so plus whether you may find them enjoyable. Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available. Hope you find something that interests you, don't hesitate to comment, arigato gozaimasu!
In the past have mused about some of my all time photos and it'd probably be impossible to ever have some sort of list for my favorites though do know what my top 2-3 would be. That first photo above is one that would make my top ten and had forgotten about it as I hadn't opened my folder of Midori pictures for about a year! This makes it two 'Resurrection/Blast from the Past' posts in a row but don't expect them to continue though would love to see it happen, it could slightly for Midori as there may be two older digital books I could post during one of these slowish periods which are happening more frequently.
Midori was becoming such a huge favorite of mine with three posts in 2022 and then five in the first six months of 2023. But they stopped in July of that year for two months later Midori announced she had gotten engaged and the next year did have a child. I rarely do posts for those who have settled down and I can't think of one gravure model who has continued on with that kind of work after getting hitched. But on occasion do have posts for things I had missed and this post has Midori's final digital book to date along with her final gravure magazine spread. Those I've had for a while but did just say I had forgotten all about her but have been working so hard going through my picture folders looking for things that hadn't been posted and lucked out with this post. Which may be a popular one as Midori's eight posts were very popular and all had at least 1,400 views. That's a decent number for who would think to do a search for her as her name hasn't been mentioned in years though a couple of times have made one of Midori's older ones the 'Featured Post of the Day'.
Midori had been dating the man she wed for two years but I didn't realize that until her wedding announcement and least it wasn't too rushed. After taking some time off Midori has returned to show biz and she appears in so many stage plays plus opened a fan club last year. But it appears Midori's gravure modeling days are over and that only lasted for three years, 2020-23, and six weeks ago she did hit the age of 26. There's two other digital books I may be able to post but need to double check on that and if so would wait about a month for them as my Rainy Day cache of things has been dwindling this year and soon it may be bone dry!
Will have 89 photos for today and seventy will be brand new for here. Such as this first batch which are from Midori's IG page and she doesn't post enough of them, the top are from her 26th birthday which took place on May 17th and two are from a party Midori had with her fan club members.
Midori has been in a few Idol groups with her most popular one being Last Idol and she even performed a few songs at this year's birthday party. She didn't have a long gravure career as it only lasted three years and here's Midori's first ever gravure mag spread that's from the April 27, 2020 issue of WPB which was promoting her first photobook, Midori had a second three years later.
While the above is her first gravure spread here's Midori's final one to date and perhaps her last one ever which is also from WPB and their September 9, 2023 edition. This spread hadn't been posted before as the last post I had done for her until today was published in July of that year.
That above WPB spread featured outtake pics for Midori's final digital book that was released on September 25, 2023 and has the title of "Magic Formula". It contains 53 sizzling Midori photos and what a loss to the world of gravure modeling when Midori retired, if that didn't happen she may have become one of my all time top five models! Couldn't find a video for this book so after the pictures have a different one from WPB that came out in 2022 and is a must watch, whewwww!!!! Midori does have many more scorching videos on YT and highly recommend checking those out!
