Minami Hamabe: Just because she needs a few more posts....
No, that's not Miona but as I've said before she certainly could pass for her younger sister. Actually the title isn't all that accurate as Minami does have quite a few posts now and very few have had as many as she has the past year. But most have been drama recaps and we do need a few posts of other activities though in all honesty there haven't been too many recently.
But I just like posting about Minami who as mentioned many times before will always be the youngest person I post about. Such a shame she's not 3-4 years older as she'd definitely have a chance to top a yearly list, know I post about many Idols or gravure models but do prefer her ultra conservative style over any skimpy clad Idol.
As many know have been recapping her 'Alibi' series which has two more episodes to go. it's been an enjoyable drama and Minami has been superb but in a way the show itself isn't as good as I was expecting. Thought it'd be a tad more interesting as the cases her character Tokino solves have been a bit mundane, they're always to solve a murder. It will be one of the better shows I may view this year but just know it could have been better.
Kind of a big cast which at times means Minami may not get as much screen time. That's a negative as she's usually the main reason to view a drama. Her Tokino character is a twenty year old watch repairer and the most enjoyable parts is when she plays 'detective' which hasn't happened enough. Still would recommend this series for any fan and as to date will give it a rating of 8.2/10 but thought in the beginning it'd easily get at least a nine.
Will be recapping the final two shows back to back which should happen towards the end of the month, least the sixth episode looks to be a bit more promising.
Minami isn't much of an Instagram poster but have some recent ones from the set of the drama which just wrapped up it's shooting. Wish she had a blog as she seems like someone who would have so many interesting comments.
That bottom pics is pretty darn kawaii!!!! For the series Minami had an interview with the 'Times Abema-TV' site which was also for an upcoming anime movie, more on that at the bottom.
Minami had a special Valentine's video for Ghana chocolates that came out on February 12th. She's done many CM's for them but this is her first one in over a year, you can watch Minami's somewhat 'culinary skills' as she decorates a heart and that video will be after the final set of pics.
Still haven't viewed Minami's "Kakegurui" film in it's entirety yet but will try to soon and have a review of it, from what I've seen it's more action packed than the TV series. Today Mianmi was at an event for the upcoming 'Bullet of Detective Conan' anime film that comes out on April 17th, have lost count how many films are in that series. She voices the character of Eri in the movie, second time she's done a voice for an anime movie. Plenty of fine yet conservative pics from today's press conference which is followed by that Ghana video.
