Minami Tanaka: Is there a better woman to end the....

 

 .... year off with? Well, yes there is but very, very few top Minami and it's kind of a mute point as there will be two more posts before the next decade begins. That's it's a new decade beginning just popped into my head, don't know about you but to me these years are flying by too quickly and towards the end of 2021 is when I'll have been here for ten years and never thought it would have happened. Speaking of decades thought instead of a regular post will end the year off with a special one for my top ten photobooks from this past decade, that would be from 2011 until now.

 So will have that post tomorrow and you can't believe how difficult it was to whittle down hundreds of dazzling books to just ten. However think that would be the first of them, perhaps in April or so will do a list of my top 25 so it could include Minami. That's because as perfect as her "Sincerely Yours" photobook is it didn't crack my top ten and what a PB that is. It's inching very close to 500,000 copies sold and as I've mused before how can she top something like that?

 There really isn't a way to top that and bet that'll be Minami's only PB, trying to surpass one that's so stupendous is a reason we've never seen a "Passport II". Two weeks from now marks the second anniversary of Minami's first post here, this is her 28th so that's an impressive pace and she's shown so signs of slowing down. She's been so busy these last few years she kind of puts others a decade younger to shame with all of her activities, say a decade younger as on November 23rd she turned 34.

 Let's get to the new pics and while they may not be as sultry as some of the above ones all rate an A++++ in my book. Minami was my #1 woman for 2019 but because of that she wasn't eligible for this year's faves list. She wouldn't have made number one for the second year in a row but could have seen her finishing around fifth. Kind of curious where she may place on my my second 'All Time Top Twenty Faves' list, did the first in August/September 2018 and if this laptop can hold out the second one would be done in the Spring of 2022. Enough rambling and we'll start off with these classy new modeling pics for Anysis.

 In the Summer Minami did some lingerie photo shoots for a pair of sites which were of course mesmerizing. However they may have been just one time deals as there haven't been any since but she still looks so perfect to me doing these kinds of modeling pics. And she does a lot of that work and this second batch of new ones are for Misch Masch.

 Earlier this month did a post from the GQ Awards show where Minami was chosen as their 'Woman of the Year' though it's a men's mag. To me those were the top event pics of 2020.

 That wasn't her only award of the year, she won another magazine one in November and her third one for 2020 took place on December 18h. On that date Minami won the Voce 'Most Beautiful Person of 2020' award and kind of hard not to agree with that selection.

 Will end off with a trio of new spreads, first one is from the December issue of Nylon Japan.

 Minami does appear is many Voce issues, this set is from their January edition.

 Minami is the cover girl for today's final set and this sparkling spread is from the January issue of Ginger. There are a pair of videos on YT for that Voce awards show but both are a bit too long so instead have one after the pics from them which was a special X-Mas video.
