Miona Hori: Her quest to be this year's #1 is underway....

 

 Haven't led off a post with that top pic all year and what a pic it is!!!! Be an impossible list to compile but what would my all time Nogi pics be? Too many thousands to count and how could I or you whittle them down to a list of 25 to 50? Won't even try but that top one is definitely in my top ten and that was the first gravure we ever saw of Miona's which was from her first photobook, as they say the rest is history. Other pic is from PB #2 and it's amazing how she seems to lose weight the more she eats!

 This hasn't happened in a while which is that someone has had two posts in three days and everything in this post are brand new. That quest to be #1 is on the mark, after finishing in the runner up postion last year figured Miona would drop out of the top ten because of her graduation. That's far from the case and truly think with a busy second half of 2021 she just may top this year's top twenty faves list. It would be a battle with a trio of other gals but I'm rooting for Miona over anyone else but that wouldn't affect the positions. Just counted up her posts and this is her tenth of the year which puts her in second place but odds are she or anyone else will ever catch the front runner. 

 Slightly odd post as there's no new mag spreads nor has she attended any events. Yet have 56 new pics and some are among her best to date. Have on small batch of older Nogi cards which are from their SSR collection and had never posted them before, my cache of them is almost exhausted.

 Just four new IG pics but that last post was just three days ago, those bottom two....

 Sadly don't think a post will happen tomorrow for Miona's best Nogi mate who will be hitting the age of 25 which does sadden me....

 Gulp, I'd even take the loser in that grudge match! Miona has her first starring role in a drama which is titled ""Saretagawa no Blue" and that began on July 9th. Have some new outtake pics from the first show and few of them may make your blood boil, gulp again!

 No word yet if the drama will be subbed, really hope so and would be surprised if it wasn't. Viewed the first show without them and could follow the action well enough, an episode is 24 minutes in length. Will give a brief recap and in the drama Miona plays the character of Aiko. She's married to a man named Niburu but don't think they're been married for too, too long. Niburu works from home as a computer program designer and their apartment is sparkling, he does pamper Aiko and why not as so wouldn't I!

 She works at some office but is more than just an OL. However life isn't all wine and roses for the couple as unknown, for now, to Niburu is that his wife has just begun an affair! That's with Aiko's immediate supervisor Mori at her office and they were almost caught having a steamy session in the company's supply room. In a bit of a funny twist Mori at the time gave Aiko a necklace that matched her wedding ring! But the really odd twist was that when Aiko got home that evening her husband Niburu gave her the exact same necklace from the same store. Her deception may not last longer as towards the end of the show Niburu's best friend Kohei noticed Aiko hand in hand with Mori at a restaurant on their way to a love hotel! Whew, kind of eerie first show and her character of Aiko seems to be a bit of a devilish woman, if it gets subbed will be recapping the series.

 To me Miona was one of Nogi's best actresses, hopefully this is the start of a long acting career. For the drama and the other things going on in her life Miona did an interview with the With Online site, pcs are from the interview. She also did a quick question and answer video session with the magazine which is on YT and you can view it here: With video

 Miona just began her own YT Vlog and has four videos already, her newest one from yesterday is after this final set of pics. And what a set they are and perhaps my top pics of the year so far. In Miona's last post had a spread for the current issue of Flash and she's the cover girl. These pics from the photo shoot just came out two days ago and I'm at a loss for adjectives, especially for the first and last pics....
