Momoka Ito: "MI1215" photobook scans plus event pics and video....

 

 Momoka's first two intro posts had quite a few recent pics but these for today are from 2017. Going to need some more new things from Momoka, may have enough older tidbits for another post but would rather sprinkle those in with new pics. Those first two posts drew a respectable amount of views and both just missed making the top ten for most views in a month, this one deserves to make it. Sadly it's the first anniversary of Fairies disbanding and I've really been getting into them the past two months, had always known of them but never paid enough attention to the group.

 That's a knock on me as they were semi successful, all seventeen of their singles hit the top ten but usually just sold around 40,000 copies. It's also been almost two years since the last Fairies single "Metropolis was released. Momoka was the center for all of the group's singles and she is quite a talented singer though kind of quiet in concerts. Have viewed three in the last two months, Fairies really reminded me of a Hello Project group as their shows were just so dynamic but perhaps most take after H!P groups. Sigh, this is one dream I better not wake up from....

 (Four days later) Yawnnnn, guess that dream lasted long enough but then again.... 😅

 Momoka did say she was going to continue with her singing career and why not as she is such a fabulous singer and has quite a few fans. But there's been zero songs since Fairies disbanded and if she waits too long that musical career many never happen. But Momoka has been busy as an actress, really liked her in "Girl Gun Lady" plus she's in the current "Nibun no Ichi Fuufu" series which I will view if it ever gets subbed.

 Momoka just released her third photobook two weeks ago and those first two intro posts had some mag spreads promoting it along with some other newer happenings. In it's first week it was the #2 best seller but sold only about 3,620 copies as sales of photobooks have been way down this year and don't know why they haven't rebounded. That's not too bad of a number though for someone who had been out of the spotlight for well over a year. Her first PB came out on August 20, 2015 with the simple title of "Momoka", undecided on whether to have a post for it.

 This second photobook came out exactly two years later, August 28, 2017 to be exact. On September 9th there was an event held for the book but it being so much in the future don't know what the sales were. Have a few terrific pics from the event along with a video you can view here: PB event

 The book's title "MI1215" refers to Momoka's birthday, two other Fairies members had book titles with the same format. So 1215 means December 15th and on that date this year she'll be hitting the age of 24. On to the ultra perfect pics but this not the largest of photobooks, more quality over quantity. The photo shoot took place in Guam and these pics are simply so super duper but her new PB seems to be much more alluring.
