Minami Tanaka: Her exemplary 'CQ Japan Awards Show' pics plus much more....

 


 Minami's last post was on November 21st, two days prior to her 34th birthday. Had I waited two days could have had those award show pics mentioned in the heading. Up until then thought #14 on the countdown had the best event pics of the year, she was overtaken and the batch to end off with are some of the most superb ones ever posted here. Been in a minor 'blase period' the past two days so once again will just have one post, tomorrow will get back to having a few with one being the seventh position on the faves list. 

 Of course Minami wasn't eligible as she was my #1 last year and have thought about how would she have done this year? To me only one of the previous winners would have made a list the following year, that would have been with 2018's top gal. Usually their activities tend to decrease which is the main reason but not for Minami. She's had thirteen posts since last December and all of them are jam packed as her posts may be the biggest of anyone. So I could have seen her make a run for this year's top spot too but think she may have fallen a tad short but not by much, a top five spot she definitely would have attained and possibly even second!



 Bet no winner in the future will ever have quite a streak like Minami has had the last two years and she's really helped her cause out for the next 'Top Twenty of All Time' list which won't be taking place for over a year. Did come close to making past winners eligible again for this year's faves list as I didn't think there would even be twenty for a while but luckily the qualifying total ended up being 28. But am already thinking of next year even though 2020's list hasn't been completed yet and that thinking is the same thing as far as previous winners being allowed to be on the list. Of course have a while to ponder that but have a very strong feeling so many of those 28 won't be eligible next year.



 So Minami's had a solid start towards the 2021 list with this post and the next one. Say 'next one' as there should be another in a week or less as she was also at an event two days after today's plus am holding back a mag spread and modeling pics but there's still 65 brand new pics for today. What you will see in the next post is Minami's guest appearance on episode five of 'Lupin's Daughter'. Above is from the first season and her character Miwa is back to create havoc for Hana and her new husband. As terrific as those season one pics were this second appearance left us(me) gasping.... again....









 Minami is 34 in age but somehow looks more dazzling with each passing day, perhaps I should have made her #1 for this year too!!!! On to some new pics with the first two sets being modeling ones, not as steamy as the above but I think all are super duper. These are from the GRL site, she's a new model for them and at least four Nogi members also model for the brand.









 Will have many more modeling pics in Minami's next post and where does she find the time to do everything? This batch are for the PSTL Autumn/Winter collection.












 This year's list should be finished on December 22nd, a few days later will do a few 'stats posts' for which post drew the most views and who the most popular women here are. Minami will definitely be on the the first list as I think her "Sincerely Yours" photobook is the second or third most viewed post for 2020. Not sure how well she will do on the other list which is determined by how many views a person's post gets. Last year they received a huge amount but think this year it's remained the same, of course that's not a bad thing but everyone else's average has gone up by over 20%. Will be holding one big spread back for that next post, this set is from the December issue of ar.









 Didn't exaggerate in the beginning as these are some of the finest event pics I've ever seen or posted about and how many tens of thousands of pics has that been so far for me!? The date was November 23rd which was Minami's 34th birthday and the event was the 'CQ Japan 2020 Awards Show'. There were many categories such as actor of the year, song of the year, man of the year, etc. But there was no official 'Woman of the Year' award as Minami's was for 'Breakthrough Woman of the Year' and at 34 years in age didn't that happen many years prior?
 What sent her over the top were the sales of her "Sincerely Yours" photobook that came out last December 13th and that PB has become the top selling one of all time with 472,000 copies sold as of two weeks ago. On to the amazing pics and really can't think of any more superlatives to throw her way as I'm kind of speechless, gulp.... The ceremony was streamed live and do have the video of it after the pics but she didn't appear until late in the show so you have to scroll to the 57:40 mark but it's worth it.....
