Just the one post for today but at least it can be considered a classic if you're a fan. Should be an avalanche of posts coming up, have at least ten that are 2/3 done but just don't have enough things to make them complete. Should be a pair for Keya this week but then again have noticed many viewers have soured on them lately but that also seems to be the case for their fans in Japan. Was going to take a break from drama viewing but that didn't happen and actually was in the midst of a "Koe Girl" marathon as that's one fun series. Have watched four episodes and almost have the first recap finished, will be having five posts for that show this week.
But this post is for one of my all time fave Idols and certainly one of the hottest who naturally is Mina. This is her third post in a little over two weeks which has never happened for her and probably never will again. Her posts attract a healthy amount of views but don't think any of them have ever made that 'Top Ten most viewed posts of the last month' feature, perhaps if this is the only one for today that'll do the trick.
Those pics above are from Mina's first photobook "Hontou no Imi de Otona ni naru Toiukoto" which was released on August 2nd. Sales for it's first week were 7,037 copies sold which ranked second on the Oricon charts. That's really not a bad figure as the sales went up until Sunday and the PB came out on a Friday. The good news is there's a second printing of it coming up which is rare for an SKE photobook as the sales for other members have been disappointing though the books were superb.
Two years ago Mina finished 13th on my 'Top Twenty Faves' list, didn't have one last year. She would make it this year but the problem is will she have enough solo posts? A new requirement is that you need six from last December to mid-November, this is her fourth and it could be tough to do two more but I'll really work at it.
Even though this is Mina's third recent post have about fifty new pics for today and when you view them you'll wonder why doesn't she have more fans? I've been one for many years and one big reason is because Mina is a bit older than most Idols as she turned 27 back in April, very few Idols in history are hotter than she is. Lot of new pics but not too much variety, these are some recent pics from SKE's Twitter page and to be honest don't know if the group has their own blog. Actually the first pic isn't new as it was in her last post but it's so fabulous had to have it again. Most of the others are from some events for the PB.
That last post had many pics from an event held August 4th at the HMV store in Shibuya. At the time there was no video of the event but one has come out which you can view at the bottom. Though that last post had many event pics these ones are 100% new for here.
Most of these pics have been posted before which are outtake ones from Mina's photobook. But seeing as how her posts don't draw a massive amount of views many may have missed them, going to be difficult choosing which PB will be my #1 of the year.
Brand new spread here which features even more outtake pics from the PB and is from the August 13th issue of Flash.
This final set was also in her last post but was incomplete. But have the whole spread now and Mina has been the cover girl for Young Gangan about twenty times as she's appeared in that mag more than any other one, this is from their August 16th edition. After the terrific pics have a video of the above event, Mina does have some stupendous gravure videos on YT so it's nice to see her dressed more conservatively plus being in a setting like the event was.
