Mio Imada: Another fabulous post of new this and that's....


 Usually take either the last day of the month or the first day of a month off but am unsure what day coming up that'll happen to. But whatever day it may be will be ending off July with a photobook post, not one I've talked about often. Yesterday said a certain PB was my #1 for 2019 but this upcoming one actually outdoes that book, it'll be one of the top ones you've seen in ages but then again haven't all of these recent books been utterly amazing?! July 27th is the one day of the year when a trio of my faves celebrate a birthday. But as you may notice there's no posts for any of them as there's been close to zero happening with them, such a shame as one is such a massive fave who isn't far from being my current number one. Lack of new pics for posts hasn't been a problem for today's fave as this is already her tenth post of the year!

 Of course I'm referring to Mio and she does such a wide range of activities there's seldom a long stretch with nothing to post about her. She is becoming very popular here as she now averages 655 views per post which is fourth for 2020. But in reality she's the third most popular gal here as the person right above her has a photobook that has garnered such a high amount of views and has skewed her average a bit but things should even off by the end of the year. Mio also at one time had three(!) posts in the top ten for most views, that's happened often with Nogi but can't think of an individual accomplishing that feat.


 In about three weeks will be having the second preliminary post for this year's faves, still unsure whether this year will include twenty as usual or drop down to sixteen. On the first list Mio was in 11th though she probably deserved to be at least one spot higher, last year she was ninth on the yearly list. But to me Mio should be much higher, say in the top five and can't quite put my finger on why that's not the case.... yet. I've liked her immensely for about three years and there aren't many more alluring women than she is in the world. Perhaps that means my current top ten consists of such high quality women and if that's the case it's understandable but I wouldn't rule her out of being in this year's top five.

 Have about seventy pics for today, not all are brand new but they are new for here. Mio is one of the more in demand models but she has slowed down on that work a bit this year, the health crisis could have something to do with that. But do have many new pics in that vein today but will be starting off with some older modeling pics which had never been posted here before such as these from the Emoda site that came out exactly a year ago.






 Mio does so much modeling for Kimono companies and not sure why, she looks terrific in all of the pics but had just wondered why she does so many pics for that attire. These also came out in 2019 though hadn't posted them and are for Furisode.








 On to some new modeling pics and these are from the GRL site, often have their pics in her post but these are all new from the past month.









 One last of new modeling pics which are for Uniqlo.











 Mio also does quite a bit of work for Pantene cosmetics but never has pics at their site but she has so many CM's for them along with appearing at many events. No events though and it's been a while since she's been at one but that's been the case for many of my faves. So let's go back in time with these outstanding pics from an event that took place on November 19, 2018. It was an X-Mas event though five weeks early and took place place at midtown in Tokyo. She lit up the special Pantene Christmas tree and with her enticing looks Mio often lights me up....














 Have a trio of new mag spreads to end off with, Mio's last photobook was titled "Last Shot" and still wonder if she was bidding sayonara to doing gravure spreads and pics. Hope not but even so she still looks oki doki in all of her pics, this first set is from the August issue of Steady.






 Second spread is from the September edition of Smart.









 Mio must be on the verge of being a mega star in Japan as she's the cover girl for almost every magazine she appears in. She had that honor for all of today's spreads and the final set is from the July 23rd issue of Young Jump. There's a new trio of CM's for Uniqlo's Autumn/Winter collection, have one after the pics.
