.... but more importantly talk about such a mega, mega, mega, mega fave of mine! Some long time viewers may recall my only 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list that was done in the Autumn of 2018. For that list Minami finished second by the slimmest of margins though #1 was certainly deserving. Minami would have been number one had she not graduated from Up Up Girls the prior year, she never disappeared but all of her activities fly under the radar.
Remember at the time of her September 15, 2017 graduation thinking that we'll never see much of Minami in the future and sadly was correct. She hasn't appeared in one magazine for close to three years and she had some of the top spreads from 2013-16. She became mostly a stage actress and has been appearing in about twenty a year though of course they're shut down at the present time. Really wish she had gone into dramas or films so we could see her on a consistent basis, that didn't happen but even so she'd still be in my top five of all time.
Speaking of that top twenty all time list will be doing another though not for a while. Was thinking of the Autumn of 2021 if I'm still alive and kicking, three years between lists seems like the right amount of time. There would be so many changes as probably not one person would remain in the same position. Most of the top ten would still be on the list but not the gals from eleven to twenty, perhaps just three would make the cut but there's a good chance one of them would be in the top ten. My faves haven't changed too much over the years but when some of them drift away and don't do as much they would of course tumble down on the list or perhaps even off it.
So as you may have deduced from the opening they're aren't going to be many new things as there hasn't been much of anything for some years now. But do watch a few of Minami's videos every week as she is just so beyond dazzling and by today's pics you can see why she almost was my #1 of all time. When I was viewing those videos thought to myself she needs a revival post as I'm sure so many have either forgotten about Minami or have never heard of her. Do have a few new pics for today such as these from her blog. However there's been a shortage of them as there's been no stage plays going on and as mentioned she must appear in twenty or more a year.
Those bottom two pics are from April 30th as on that date Minami turned 29. The top pic is with her best friend by far as those two have been so close for many years now. Am a bit shocked there's never been an official 'pairs post' for them but will have one next month.
Don't know what the meaning of this blog pic was which was posted a little over a month ago, all I know is she still looks better than perfect and it's her first gravure pic in 2 1/2 years.
Above is the link to her Ameba blog if you want to visit it. There you can also get the link to Minami's 'Fresh TV' page, she uploads a few videos each month but it does cost a bit of $$ though not much.
When the 'Top Twenty of All Time' list was done did a pair of posts for Minami's 2013 movie"Ada Senritsu Hen 1". But that was just for the first film as two came out in the same day back in July of 2013, never thought the second movie could be found but I did locate it. But as was the case for the first one there's no subs but did manage to figure out most of what happened. Will be reviewing the second film soon enough and do have some screenshots from it today.
In that first film her character's name was Miho, also her name in the second movie. In that first one Miho was such a hoodlum at her school and ended up killing a few students, she especially had a grudge against the school's Queen Yuko. But in the second film the roles were reversed as Miho this time around was a new transfer student who was picked on by Yuko and her mates. Miho ended up being good friends with a gal named Haruka who came to her rescue a few times. Have just watched the first half of the seventy minute film but it's another winner and such a shame it'll never be subbed. Do need to watch it twice to pick up on all of the smaller details and such, will try to have a post or two for the movie by the end of next month but hopefully sooner.
Minami hasn't appeared in a mag since 2017, as I mentioned what a shame as her spreads were among the best of all time. So will have a pair of oldies for today as I'm sure the majority have never seen these, this first set is from the January 3, 2014 issue of Young Gangan.
Just won't have this special post a one time occasion, will do another sometime soon and the other spread is from the February 28, 2014 edition of Young Animal.
For that next Minami post will work on having some older things which have never been posted here before, sure there's got to be a few items. Will end off with some breathtaking pics, sure this is some great evidence on why Minami came so close to being my number one of all time. There's some heart attack inducing videos on YT, have one of them after the pics. EDIT: Actually many have been deleted the past few years such as the one that had below so sadly there is no video for this post....
