Miku Ito: A little bit of this and that....
Posts like these tend to get the fewest amount of views though I may enjoy doing them much more than the hugely popular ones. Can't say I have a 'thing' for voice actresses but do think so many of them are quite attractive and actually the better word may be adorable even though most are 24+ in age. Speaking of voice actresses will have a group post for Aqours coming up soon, have had a few solo posts and a group one is overdue.
Overdue could be a word used for this post. Introduced Miku in mid August and then had two posts in the following weeks yet none since then. Have two spreads I could have had in a post but was waiting for more things which has happened. In the gap between posts Miku turned 24 and that took place on October 12th. No gravure pics in the trio of spreads but the pics are all terrific, it's rare to see her dress skimpy and that only happened twice in photobooks.
Miku has one solo photobook that came out in 2016. Her second PB was with her mate Moe Toyota and they have a J-Pop duo called Pyxis though they haven't had any new music in two years. Moe is also in need of a post and promise to have one by the end of the month. Her second intro post was for her "MoEmotion" PB and what a popular post that was as it had the fifth highest total of views of any 2020 post.
Miku is the slightly taller one yet her height is only 152 cm, most voice actresses are quite short. Here's a few recent Instagram pics and these days seldom she updates her blog.
Voice actresses are so, so busy yet not one has ever made the yearly faves list. Though they're very busy most of their work is dubbing for animes and films which don't make for interesting posts, one day have a feling someone will crack the list. Miku released her third solo album on December 23rd though perhaps should have waited two weeks as it's such a slow stretch for sales. Title of the album is "Rhythmic Flavor" and the covers for it.
First week sales were 3,118 copies sold but as mentioned it's been such a slow stretch for J-Pop sales, the #1 single last week only sold 12,100 copies so it's not a great time to release new music. Here's some interview pics she did for album with the Real Sound site, one of the singles did reach #7 on the charts a few months back so will hunt for a video and have it at the bottom of the post.
For more interview pics for the album from the DD Navi site.
Know most may think the above pics aren't all that fantastic but to me they are and what a cutie she is. Have a trio of mag spreads but am holding a pair back, both are 2020 Seiyuu issues and that's the word for voice actors in Japan. They have other mags for the genre as they are quite popular, one mag is Voice Actress which makes sense and Miku was the cover girl for their April issue.
Once again she was the cover girl for a Voice Actress issue, this set contains nineteen pics which was one of the largest of the year.
Never mind two covers as Miku has the hat trick with this final set that's brand new from the January 15th edition of Young Gangan. This is her first post for 2021 and a goal is to get Miku to six posts which is the requirement to be eligible for the faves list, seeing as how I'm holding back two spreads her next one shouldn't be too far off. That single mentioned above that hit #7 on the charts is titled "Lonely Light Lonely Dark" but there's no full length PV for it. So instead after the pics you can view the single before that one which was "Plunderer" and that hit #19 on the charts. Bit of a slowish tune but she just looks so incredibly adorable....
