Miru Shiroma: Her dazzling and eagerly awaited first.... 𝘽𝙡𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙖𝙨𝙩 post!!!!

 


 It's nice to see these 'Blast from the Past' posts for we all like it when a favorite reappears but wish more of these were permanent returns. I did do a pair of post earlier this year for Miru's fourth photobook "Merci" but this is her first regular post in ten months. Of all my huge favorites Miru is the one that I tend to forget about the most which for a change isn't really my fault. For Miru is so inconsistent with her activities, she had four posts from last October to February with the main theme being her last photobook. But Miru had ZERO posts in 2024 and only three in 2023 so you can understand why I tend to forget about her. For today may have around a hundred new photos for here though most were from the Spring of this year, actually a digital book that will end off the post.



 Whew..... and you expect me to type while gaping at that photo, whewwww times a few trillion! Besides that book have some screenshots from a video that came with it, some older NMB cards plus a magazine spread from six years ago and a few oddball things so all in all this will be one super duper post for Miru's fans. She does have quite a few of them here and I wouldn't be surprised if she's the most popular '48' member I've done posts for so know that her massive fan base wish there wasn't such a long gap between posts. I have no clue whether this will be a one and done deal, could have waited until October 14th for this post as that's when Miru will be celebrating her 29th birthday. But did just discover she had another digital book come out in June and why haven't her activities had more exposure? If I can get that book will have a birthday post for Miru, even if I can't will try to whip something up for that day.



 If you're a semi-newbie here and don't know much about Miru highly recommend checking out her previous solo posts that are all so magnificent! Miru has close to fifty of them with her most popular being the post for her first photobook "Love Rush" and for a long time that was in my top ten for books. Hmmmm, the last time I did a list for my top books was over four years ago and so many terrific ones have come out since then. So an updated list is way overdue and perhaps after the turn of the year. When I talk about all time favorite J-Pop Idols Miru's name has to be included, she'd be in the top five for any kind of list for being the hottest/sexiest/most alluring Idol!!!! Miru has made the yearly faves list three times and deserved to be included for a fourth year. But because the posts for her have been so sporadic since her NMB departure it's up in the air if she can squeeze onto the third 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list and the countdown will probably begin around April 1st. Twenty women may seem like a lot for the list but I have many more favorites than that so some gals such as Miru may be on the outside looking in but April 1st is a long ways off so a woman has time to improve her position.... or to lower it with a long, long quiet spell.



 I don't think Miru does any kind of activity FT, she has the occasional photobook, does attend those larger fashion shows in her hometown of Osaka and did release a a pair of solo singles. But she doesn't do anything on a consistent basis such as acting, modeling or hosting some sort of radio/TV show but could be doing some under the radar things which we're not aware of. Let's get to the meat of this post and first off are these 2026 photos from Miru's IG page, not nearly as many s she used to post and think that's because she posts most of them these days at her fan club. There will be an event for it next month for birthday #29 and of the way-too-few pics below of course my favorites are the top two which were from five months ago and she had a mini reunion with a pair of her old NMB mates. August marked Miru's fifth anniversary of leaving the group and as I've moaned about before doesn't time pass by too quickly?








 Don't know why but there's fewer NMB cards for the month of September than any other month, try to include those in posts for ex-Idols. So why not have a different set of cards and these should be new for here which are for Miru's first ever solo concert. That was held in May 2020 while still a member of NMB, it's been a while since Miru has released any new music so wonder if she's given up on that?


















 Another group of pictures I've been having in posts for gravure models and/or Idols are older ones from their magazine and book photo shoots. Those pictures are so superb but there were very few for Miru that hadn't been posted but that's okay as I have some oki doki photos from her IG page that you haven't seen. These are from 2023 and though Miru's figure is one of the hottest in Earth's history(!) she also has such an attractive face and I enjoy looking at her non-gravure photos so wish she began to do regular modeling again.

















 For today's digital book think there was a magazine spread to promote it but it's one I don't have.... yet and will hunt to see if there was one. Don't have any new ones for today so let's go back exactly six years for this amazing spread from the October 2020 issue of EX-Taishu. Miru was the cover girl and while with NMB she often had that honor, amazing is a word I need to use more often for Miru.....












 There was an 8 1/2 minute DVD that came with the book but there's only a 1:40 version on YT so below have many Hotter than the Sun screenshots from it. I was hoping Miru would have the longer version at her YT site but she hasn't uploaded a video to it in eight months..... this is a 28 year old Miru and haven't her sizzling looks improved with each passing year?!!!! They sure have and these screenshots are from the first half of the DVD, will have many more in that possible birthday post.























 After these photos will have the short version of the video and noticed at their YT site it's that way for all of the videos for their books. The SPA! magazine released Miru's book on March 20th and while at their site noticed they've had many more books than I figured though so few are for women I post about. This ultra scorching set has 55 photos and what adjectives are left for Miru? Not many and hope I can find enough newish things for a birthday post which would be done in about a month.
