Whewwww(!), little doubt that this is the top photobook from the past year(s?) and am finally posting the amazing pics. Say finally as I've had the PB for a month but have this 'Nao rule' where I don't post the pics from a book until it's been out for three months as not to affect possible sales, this came out on December 4th. Sales for this book were decent but don't know how many copies it's sold to date. It was in the top ten for sales in it's first two weeks and the publisher did say that a reprinting would be taking place. But sales for all photobook have really dropped compared to a year ago because of the health crisis and there's been so few massive sellers the last six months. But this PB did deserve to have higher sales and was wondering why books like this one pale in comparison to ones from Nogi or Keya?
Came up with a logical theory and the words 'mystery and curiosity' may describe the sales difference. Popular gravure models such as Miyu may have 25+ scantly clad spreads a year plus often some huge pictorials. Perhaps because of that there's no mystery left of what a model looks like and in a way the books are just a continuation of their mag spreads. But for gals from Nogi or Keya they seldom do any kind of gravure spreads, there's really only been one Nogi gal who did them. So when a PB comes out bet so many fans are really curious how an Idol looks dressed so skimpy which has to really help sales, of course being in an Idol group does too. Don't know if that sounds totally logical but it does make sense that buyers may grow weary of gravure model's pics after a while. I do too to an extent but certainly not for today's honoree.
On to the incomparable pics, I knew this photobook would be breathtaking but it exceeded my expectations. Miyu has had two web books but this is her first official one and let's hope not her last. Not positive but think the photo shoot took place in Okinawa and most books were shot there last year as it's much safer than being in the Tokyo area. Miyu is one of the taller gravure models as her height is 170 cm and after a long stretch of not being that popular here her last two posts have been her two most viewed in over a year. On to the amazing pics which total 97 and she does come so tantalizing close to revealing her birthday suit and really wish I was the photographer!
How am I just now discovering this one?! Spectacular photos.
