Super Girls: The 'Koume Watanabe post' #8....
Mentioned in the post below this one that there would be one more post for the year and if something magically pops up there will be two. This didn't exactly pop up as I admit being a bit sleepy at the wheel as there could have been a solo post weeks before this one, perhaps months and more on that after this intro.
Do use these member posts for Super ✰ Girls news, it's been a long time since we've had one of these posts and think January was the last time. Above is the PV for the group's last single which was their 23rd, "Kataomori no Cinderella" which came out on September 18th. Back in January there was a huge shakeup for the roster as seven members were let go and four were added.
Since then the group has released three singles but think the shakeup hasn't worked out too well. None of those singles were huge sellers and this one made #12 on the charts, it's sold 15,000 or so copies. The other two songs did make the top ten but only sold about 5,000 more copies, they're still a popular group but not as much as they were three years ago. Then again seems that's the case for so many current groups save for '46' ones, bet after a while your fan base gets older and doesn't follow you as closely and I can relate to that. As I said at the top is the PV for the song which actually just came out two weeks ago, usually AVEX doesn't put full videos on YT so hope I don't get another warning.
It's been thirteen months(!) since the last Koume post, the blame falls with both of us. She hasn't appeared in as many mags this year nor at events so kind of forgot about her. Did have one superb spread from June which I had been holding on to and a new one just came out which is why this post was sorely needed. But did have a photobook which I'll discuss later on and that's something else which slipped my mind so for any fans out there expect at least one more post in January.
Will also get to one of those other two 2019 singles for the group. What kind of saddens me about Koume being a bit quiet this year is that she's honestly one of my biggest faves around. She's easily in my top ten for current Idols and if she was a s busy as Nogi members then she would be #1 for me. Koume is just so uniquely hot and there's something about her which is so adorable even when she's dressed a bit skimpy, these may make the blood pressure go up for many of you, whewwww....
Will have slightly more than forty new pics for today, may as well not use everything as I'd like to have a pair of posts next month. Just thought about it, be nice if she could get to six posts to be eligible for next year's top twenty list. Koume is a very good blogger and posts many pics on her one for Ameblo, these are recent ones for you know what holiday.
Have been holding on to this Koume spread for six months, this terrific set is form the June 21st issue of Young Gangan.
The other new Koume mag spread is brand new and from the January 3rd edition of Friday.
Young Gangan also released a digital photobook of her back in June. But three months before that there was another digital PB that came out from Kindle which featured over a hundred pics. What I'll do is have twenty for today and forty in each of her next two posts. These actually look like outtake pics from Koume's first DVD that came out in April 2018. Have that video and it's among my all time faves from an Idol, there's a short promo video for it after the pics which is highly recommended.
