'Top Twenty Faves' countdown for 2021: Position #5, the ravishing Minami Tanaka!

 


 Previous positions:




 Wasn't going to do this until tomorrow but why not get a bit ahead of schedule? The plan was to finish the countdown by the 22nd but it'd be nice if it could be completed two days earlier, then I could do the 'Most Popular Posts' for the year prior to Christmas. Then will have a post or two for who the most popular women were here for 2021, undecided if it'll be ten or sixteen positions. Back in 2019 Minami was my #1 fave of the year and that was the closest battle ever for the top spot.

 In a way number two was actually my bigger fave that year but could have flipped a coin for #1. So when positions are extremely close usually have the older woman take the higher spot as who knows how many more times they'll make the list? Not that Minami wasn't deserving in 2019 but this year her foe back then turned the tables on her. She'll be fourth and will keep her identity a secret, this year the duo were close to being equal again so thought this time would give that other gal the break. Until this year past winners weren't eligible but now they are, Minami would have made it last year but a bit lower than fifth, perhaps around tenth?



 Didn't do a birthday post on November 23rd and that was the date Minami turned 35 in age. She holds the record for being the oldest #1 as she was 33 when she took the top spot in 2019, at 35 she's the oldest woman to make the list and the only person who has a chance of breaking those records is this year's number two. Not as much announcing in 2021 save for co-hosting two variety/talk shows but she's been in three dramas this year plus had her first starring role in a film.




 Above is the link to Minami's December 2019 photobook "Sincerely Yours" which is her most viewed post ever. With good reason too as what a PB it is and at close to 500,000 copies sold it's the best selling boom of all time, that's an impossible number to top so we may never see another book from her. Save for Peach John Minami has had very few gravure pics since that PB came out, it's true she's 35 in age but she blows away most gals a decade younger. There's been plenty of regular modeling pics these last two years though have noticed viewers don't care for them as much which is understandable but she still looks beyond oki doki to me. So have a few batches of recent modeling pics for today such as these pics for the GRL Autumn collection.






 Actually the modeling pics have slowed down a bit the second half of the year, while not a regular model for the More magazine she's had many recent pics at their site. 








 Minami has a monthly fashion column at the Ginger magazine site but usually there's only one or two new pics, some from the past few months.









 One last batch of modeling pics which are for Voce, she also has a monthly column for them.









 Sadly one one new mag spread that's from the December issue of Bijin Hyakka. Have noticed that so many in the top ten haven't had too many spreads the last few months but that didn't stop any of them from finishing so high on the list.









 Minami just does so many different activities from modeling, acting, announcing, etc. Her acting career is really going so well these days as she had her first lead role in a film titled "Will I Be Single Forever?" that was released on November 19th. The following day there was an event held for it at the Wald 9 in Shinjuku, you'll see in the bottom two pics that an ex-Nogi member is also in the film. Plenty of pics from the event and here's the trailer for it: Movie trailer


















 Getting close to the end, Minami did have ten posts this year so there's nothing that had been missed. Her Peach John lingerie pics to me may be better than the ones from her "Sincerely Yours" photobook and did have a post back in September with all of her 2020-21 pics for them. Think another batch will be released soon and these are some new pics from their site.








 Short video for their Winter collection follows this batch of pics. This is the final set and just a few of my top scorching Minami pics from the past few years, she never did any kind of gravure ones until 2017 when she was thirty in age and it's easy to see why she was my #1 two years ago....
