Miyu Kishi: Her blazing Parade magazine "Diary" digital book though....

 


 Led off yesterday's post saying how I was in such a state of Blahness and why isn't that an official word? It should be for I've often felt that way but this was the first time in many months, usually I take a day off from blogging and that cures it.... is there any connection? So was going to take today off but did have the two things for this post all set to go which is book that hasn't been posted before with 73 photos and an older magazine spread that many of you may have forgotten about so it's a small post as far as sections go but semi-large with over ninety pictures. Have just started working on a pair of posts, one will be for the next installment of the 'My Current Watches' series where I give mini reviews of dramas and movies I've recently viewed. The next post was going to have a mix of Japanese dramas and films but decided to change that slightly as it'll be a mini post with the theme of "Tomie" who is one of my top fictional characters and hope to have that on Sunday.



 Two weeks ago had a BababaBambi group post that featured their final digital book and will have another group post in May. That last post has been popular as it's in that section for 'Most viewed posts of the past month' and you viewers have been fans of the group as their gravure spreads and books have been second to no one the last four years. But seeing as how they would never hit the big time the group held their final concert three weeks ago, want to wait until May for that next post to see what's going to be happening with all five members. Miyu is a semi-popular gal in Japan, not at the level of Nogi members but seems to have a large fan base. So sure she'll remain in show biz and of course gravure modeling will be part of Miyu's career as none of us can get enough of her petite yet dazzling figure. After today still have two more Miyu books that have come out the past two months so you will be seeing at least one post of her next month.



 Wanted to make this a quick post yet the above intro must have 500 words so once again a plan for a medium sized post didn't pan out that way. The one other thing for today is an encore viewing of this spread from volume five of Sunny Girl that came out on June 28, 2024. Miyu was their cover girl and she's had that solo honor a few other times but not recently. I think this is her second best spread and I hope Miyu's appearances in magazines don't slow down and for the time being don't think they will.




















 I don't have a strict rule for digital books as far as how long I wait until posting them. For regular photobooks always wait at least three months and often longer as not to affect sales. That's never been the case for these kinds of books but have been noticing I've been waiting much longer before posting them than I once did. Parade is a newish magazine and this Miyu book for them was one of their first ones, think they've now released four magazines but don't have a spread for this pictorial. Couldn't find a video for this book but after the pics is one that's for a WPB digital book that was released on March 28th and that's a book I wasn't aware of until now. So will work on getting that and now there may be three posts for Miyu coming up within the next month or two.
