Miku Ito: Hopefully her comeback with not one but TWO endearing digital books!!!!

 


 Here's a semi-favorite of mine who I would like so much more if she had more posts, this is her first in over three years but will be the first of three posts or least am hoping so. All three will feature older books and such that I had missed from 2018-22, the third and maybe even fourth post will feature recent things but the photos in all of the posts will be brand new for here. Before today Miku had eight posts between 2020 to late 2022, then the magazine spreads and books dried up. However at the end of April Miku will be releasing her first book in almost five years and know that may bring a smile to many of your faces. For Miku could be the most popular woman I've ever done posts for, her previous eight have garnered 55,237 views which is an average of 6,905 views a post and that blew my mind away! But before I figured out that average knew Miku was very popular with you readers and can't think of any other woman who can approach that average. But her last post was over three years ago so the question is does Miku have any of those fans left and am hoping the answer is YES!



 What makes that average even more impressive is that Miku has had so few gravure pictures in her photobooks and magazine spreads which is one big reason she is someone I've liked for a while. If you're new to Miku she's a voice actress, at one time had been a part of two acting troupes but mainly works solo these days. Like most other popular voice actresses the list of roles she's done is too large to list though she has slowed down on that kind of work the last year. This October Miku will be hitting the age of thirty and has been doing voice acting for a dozen years so I can understand why she needed a slight breather from that line of work. Miku also is a singer and has done many so many Anime theme songs where she's voiced the main character, last year she held a pair of solo concerts. This was a bit of a 'Spur of the moment' post so will have even more of Miku's bio info in future posts, think after today have two more digital books from five years that hadn't been posted. I didn't overlook them but just got a few of them last month and like many of you hope these Miku posts can start coming on a consistent basis. Which isn't common for voice actresses, they may four in a seven month period then zero posts over the next year!



 The first book is quite good but think all will prefer the second book, neither is very large and between them have 87 pics but also have one magazine spread. Leading off is Miku's first ever digital book that was released on October 13, 2018 and contains 47 pictures, it has the title of "Palette". Miku has had two regular photobooks and have posted both so if you haven't seen either check them out as they are so popular with over 17,000 views between them!
















































 The WPB magazine published both books, before we hit today's other book have this mag spread that promoted it from the May 2, 2021 issue of WPB. Up until early 2023 Miku did appear in many magazines and often was the cover girl but it's been a while since her last spread.










 Today's second digital book has the title of "Beyond" and was released on April 23, 2021. This is one super duper book but had only forty photos, the pics are so terrific it deserved to be twice as large and this was Miku's final book to date but as mentioned she'll finally be having another at the end of April. Couldn't find any videos for either book but Miku does have a YT channel where she uploads so many songs. After the pics is a live video from a 2024 concert and the upbeat tune is from her "From Now On" DVD, it's worth checking out her other songs as most are quite good and are better than most other J-Pop tunes these days.
