Miku Tanaka: Another ultra sizzling.... 𝑨 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆(lot!) 𝒃𝒊𝒕 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 post....

 


 In the past have talked briefly about how every 2-3 years there's a 'New Wave' of gravure models and J-Pop Idols that hit the scene, years ago may have done posts for some of them. Have a new Miku magazine spread for today and it was a large issue as eight other young women also had some large spreads. But out of the eight I only knew one gal(ex-SKE member) and the times are changing once again, all looked good but none had that Spark about them which attracted me to them. Plus many are quite young and a month ago made a rule which I will stick to which is that I'll do no posts for anyone born after February 2005. That's the date of a current Nogi member(Nagi) who we all adore to no end so odds are high there will be very few newbies introduced here but every now and again along come a voice actress who I can post about. Can't recall how many new actresses or models were introduced last year, can think of a pair and that may have been it.



 Least I've been able to continue doing posts for my bigger favorites and haven't needed anyone new but do wonder on occasion how things will be down the road in another year or two. Been talking too often about the upcoming 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list and will be slowing down on with my musings soon. But do have one more and the biggest enigma as far as positions go is where will Miku end up? She could be as high as seventh but then again she may only end up in the 20th spot?! Would love to have everyone make the top ten but that's impossible so some huge faves will be lower than you would think and Miku will likely be one of those women. But she'll also be the youngest woman on the list so least in the future she'll have a much better chance of moving up than most others and will do a pair of preliminary posts in July where I'll discuss the list in more detail.



 You'd think Miku would have a high position in the list as this is the fifth consecutive year she's qualified for the fave's list. In 2024 she was my Queen of the year and the other three times has been between fifth and tenth so that's mighty impressive. What's also impressive, besides her figure(!), is that only one other woman has had more posts than Miku since October 2022 which is when she had her debut post. At first I thought this was going to be a smallish post but there's well over seventy new photos for today, could have made this larger but wanted to save a few things for another April post.



 That second picture above is one of my favorites of Miku, one year I hope to be a good enough boy so Santa has more than just that candy cane in my stocking!!!! On March 9th Miku released her third regular photobook and she's had close to twenty digital books, all have come out since leaving HKT in early 2023. So will have a lot of things about the book in this post such as some terrific pics from TheTv.jp site and an interview she did with them on March 11th. It's nice to see Miku not dressed scantly at times and doesn't she look terrific in those below pics? I think so and for the first time Miku took a trip to Europe as the photo shoot for the book took place in Portugal. Have the link to the interview and Miku also talked about some of her 'close to revealing everything' photos, there's even more pictures like the below ones at the site: TheTV.jp interview 











 There was an event for the book on March 15th in Tokyo, that was six days after the photobook was released. Can't recall the stats but do know Miku's first two books were solid sellers, in it's first two weeks out "Zenbu, Honto" sold a little over 12,000 copies. Her books tend to sell well for a while so the total will probably top 20,000 copies sold which isn't overly high but these days that's a bit respectable as books sell so much less than they once did. And once again doesn't Miku look oki-doki dressed as a regular civilian?!!!!















 At the top was talking about a magazine and how I knew only one of the other eight who had spreads as they were part of a new wave of models and Idols. However none will ever top Miku who was once again the cover girl for the magazine and it was for volume three of Parade which is a new magazine that started last October and has an issue every other month, this one came out on February 9th. Whew, when Miku looks like she does on the cover that must mean a huge spike in sales, WOW!

















 Every now and again do miss a Miku spread but usually end up obtaining it, this should do it for her 2025 magazine spreads. And it's one of Miku's top ones for the year and of course she was the cover girl for the October edition of Bubka, I think this spread is much better than the above set of pics.














 Once again the title of Miku's third photobook is "Zenbu, Honto" which roughly could mean everything is true or perhaps even okay. In Miku's last post had these promo/outtake pics from the book with the first being the cover.












 Will end off with these seventeen brand new promo pics from Miku's third book, all are so dazzling but especially the second.... and the bottom one! There is a digital version of this book and have that but seeing as how it's close to being a regular book will also wait three months before posting it. The WPB magazine published the book and after these pics is a short video from the photo shoot. There's many more Miku videos at the WPB site that are worth checking out, she doesn't have enough gravure ones but does for them.
