Coming down to the end and wonder what viewers are thinking of my top picks, have a feeling not many would have whose in my top five or even twenty. Minami shouldn't be too much of a shock as she's finished third and second the past two years on my end of year faves list. Settled on number one very quickly but after spending about ten hours compiling these posts wonder if I made the right decision. Sure I did but it's so close to being a tie for first place, could almost call Minami # 1B and perhaps if she was in a more popular group than Up Up Girls she would have taken the top spot.
There's a total of seven posts for Minami(!), it did take a lot of work as I watched a movie along with so many videos plus had to do a lot of searching for info and pics. Perhaps a lot of work but did savor every second as there may be only one gal who I enjoy viewing pics from more. This is a terrific post but it will be the most conservative one as I'm trying to feature less gravure pics and more of ones that have never been posted before. Those top two are new for here and that second one may mean another sleepless night, wait until you view the pics after this post! Nothing wrong with this one though....
Haven't really started on the posts for my #1 of all time yet so you probably won't know who it is for about a week, no clue on what kind of posts they'll be or how many of them. A word popped in my mind for Minami and it's one I've never used before which is desirable, perhaps others may be more attractive or bodacious but not many so would say she would be my number one desirable woman in the world. #1 may have something to say about that. She's also the shortest gal in the top twenty at 149.5 cm though she mentioned on her blog her height is now 150 cm! I'm 183 cm so what a difference that is between us but she's not that much shorter than most Idols as the majority are less than 160 cm.
Gulp, had to put Miho(?) on the list or fave her wrath....
As far as the posts go there are seven of them and these are what they consist of. This first one is more of an intro post as I know all will enjoy numbers two through five so much more, this one has many current events along with pics of Minami's conservative side which I don't post often enough. After this one here's the order of the posts and honestly every one is worth a view.
#2 The Greatest pics- Impossible to do as there's so many and there's also a UUG video.
#3 Video screenshots- Biggest post at 94 pics and this may be everyone's fave, whewwww!!!!
#4 Magazine scans- Older spreads which many have missed along with one that hadn't been posted. Plus an obscure UUG cover tune which I never knew they had done, a classic from C-ute.
#5- Photobook and "Koibito" DVD pics- This should be another big fave as the pics are simply....
#6 and 7 "Ada Senritsu Hen" movie- Reviewed the film with many screenshots and more.
Her best mate didn't make the top twenty which is my biggest regret, perhaps I'll do one follow up post discussing the list and will bring her up then. Have a bit of everything in this post or at least things which aren't in the ones following this. Minami was a long time J-Popper, before she joined Up Up Girls in 2011 she had been in a few other groups, she was an original member of UUG. Her final concert with them was last September 15th, miss her in the group but also we miss her gravure spreads and videos as she may not be doing them anymore. Top ten pics here are from Minami's final UUG concert and following them are other concert pics and Up Up Girls do put on such a energetic show. The video at the top is a clip from her graduation concert. It was also Ayano's final show and she's featured in the 'Ada' film posts.
Though there's been a lack of posts Minami has kept quite busy since her graduation but sadly too many of her projects fly underneath the radar. Her acting career is picking up though, she'll be in a major play beginning in November and hopefully that'll mean at least one upcoming post. After a five year gap Minami appeared in a film which was released on July 28th titled "Imagination Game", she had a big role but not the starring one and these are a few pics from the premiere... what an underrated smile!
Minami does an excellent job at posting pics on her blog and Instagram site. Have a whole bunch here from the past month and the first three are from this week as she's still looking perfect. She's been in three plays this year and a few of the pics are from her well wishers from one she was in that ended in August.
Minami has her own video channel on Fresh-TV, have only seen one of them as you either have to pay to be a member or pay for each video which you want to view which is expensive.
This is the final bit, wanted to do a kind of non-gravure post as I do have too many pics of Minami dressed a bit skimpy but it's hard not to as how many if any can top her sultriness?! These pics to end off are almost all new for here except with a few rare ones that may have been posted at one time and it is nice to view Minami pics like these and, think there will be another post or two in the future featuring these kinds of pics. There's over 250 gravure ones after this post and am positive all will really relish them, bet the total pic count for the seven posts is well over four hundred or perhaps even five hundred. Bit of a longish video at the bottom but one that definitely deserves a view.
Nitori Sayaka post please!
