EDIT: Writing this up on January 11, 2022 and doing this as odds are there may never be another post for her. Reason for this edit was today I learned Minami was married on December 10, 2021 and to who is unknown. Can't say I'm saddened by the news though it did come out of nowhere and if you're reading this then you know how huge of a fave she was for so many years. This now means that eight out of the twenty on this list have now got hitched, six in the last two years!
Have to admit this may be the only photobook from the past five years or so which I haven't posted all of the scans from. Have purchased too many books over the years and for some reason this is one of the more expensive ones, figured some site or person would have had the PB but after a year that hasn't been the case. Used editions are cheaper but I never buy them, eventually I'll break down and get it or perhaps some viewer out there has it.
However do have quite a few pics from the PB along with some from the photo shoot. Did post a few of the pics but bet 3/4 of the ones for today haven't been posted before. Also have some screenshots from Minami's "Koibito" DVD after the pics along with a clip from it. This PB is titled "Minami no Ketsui" and was released on September 15, 2017 which was also the date of her graduation from Up Up Girls. There was an event for the book which was a low key affair, her and the gals from UUG deserve to be so much more popular.
As mentioned before not doing these posts in the order that you're reading them, this is the fifth in the series but the third one I did so hope I'm not repeating myself too much. Was looking at some info about the PB at Japanese sites, even there the PB was costly as the price was 3000 yen which is much higher than most books. Least the pics are overly amazing. The one sad thing about it is that this could be the last time Minami poses for pics like these and there's no woman I want to see in a swimsuit more than her though do admit she looks like a trillion yen regardless of how she's dressed.
"Koibito" was Minami's first and probably only gravure DVD, it came out two months after the PB. Another expensive item as the cost is close to $30 but it is definitely worth it, total running time is 85 minutes and the whole time you're gaping in awe. Know that for a fact as that's how I am viewing it, have watched it at least 25 times this year and will again this weekend.
The video isn't one from the shoot for the photobook which is rare but it worked out well as that meant we got so many more different pics of Minami. Some of these screenshots have been posted before, last December to be exact as it was her second post for finishing #2 on last years list, in reality though it was more like #1B. After the pics check out a longish video of 27 minutes from the DVD but it's well worth your time viewing it and many of her other YT videos.
