'Top Twenty Faves' countdown for 2020: Position #12, the tantalizing Mio Imada!

 


 Links to the previous positions: #16, Yume .... #15, Miru .... #14, Hinako .... #13, Yume

 Slight drop from last year when she was ninth but this year ninth to twelfth were so close any could have been in one of those four positions and wouldn't have been wrong with any of them. I can see Mio being a semi lock to make the list every year, it's not a guarantee for her but would be shocked if she didn't but don't think she quite has what it takes(yet) to become number one for a year. This was kind of a slower year for her, twelve posts in all which is a high number though four were photobooks that may have been released this year but contained pics from 2018/19.

 Have a fifth one that just came out this week, will have a post for it soon and will discuss why there's all these mini/digital photobooks. In January Mio's second official photobook "Last Shot" was released, before it came out she said it would be her last time going gravure pics. She's been true to her word as the photo shoot for it took place the previous October so it's been fourteen months with no new pics in that vein. The PB sold very well, over 50,000 copies in it's first month as she's one popular gal in Japan. So publishers then probably thought they couldn't leave all of Mio's hundreds or perhaps thousands of outtake pics from her photo shoots go to waste so have been releasing them quite often, in six months there's been five of mini books and they've been a huge hit with you viewers.



 While those posts for her mini photobooks are always heavily viewed her regular posts haven't been this year and could it be they're not containing gravure pics? Would have to think so and it's hard to blame viewers for their tastes but to me Mio looks mighty terrific in her more classy style and most of today's pics will be in that vein. Mio will be turning 24 in exactly four months and is so popular probably didn't see the need to continue doing scantly clad pics. It's true that I also miss them but as mentioned she's still someone who should be a fixture on the yearly list.



 Bit of a slow stretch recently as there's only been one post the last three months that wasn't one for a  photobook. But have plenty of new things for today plus may have two more posts by the end of the month, one of course will be that new mini PB. Bit of variety today with mag spreads, event pics and modeling ones such as these from the Ray site.








 Mio isn't a model for them but had been the cover girl for Ray's November issue. She is a model for the GRL site and have a huge amount  of recent pics from them.





















 Every year try to find what fave on the list has the most pictures with others also on it. Last year the leader had seven but don't think that total will be hit this time around. The way I look at it she had the possibility of being with sixteen others.... twenty minus three Korean actresses minus herself = sixteen. Thought her 'pal list' may have been higher but there's just four pics have been able to find with others. 





 From that list the top pic was with this year's #1. The second one isn't a true 'pair's pic' but for now it was as close as I could get. It's from a November 24th event but already have two of them for today so will hold on those pics for her next post. Third down is the person who may have more pics with others than anyone else, we'll see on that and the bottom pic needs no comment! Mio in the last 3 1/2 weeks has attended two and one sort of private one. That private one was an event held on November 13th to help celebrate the first anniversary of the Casa Loewe flagship store in Tokyo.











 I like this next set of event pics a tad more which took place on November 17th. Mio was at a tree unveiling ceremony for Uniqlo and can't recall her doing modeling pics for them, perhaps it's on the horizon. She did look kind of adorable so hope there's more in the vein coming up, there could be as the last few years she's been at some X-Mas ceremonies and hoping it'll be happening again.














 Bit of a slowdown lately with mag spreads as there's just a pair for today. But she is the cover girl for both with this first set being from the January issue of Nail Venus.






 Second cover for Mio was from the December edition of ar.









 We've hit the end, hard to say how but her posts are always among the largest yet take the least amount of time to do. Will end off with some ultra alluring Mio pics which I'm certain so many of you wanted to view and can't blame you for missing her doing gravure pics. Following the dazzling pics have a short video from the above Uniqlo event.
