Maria Makino: Her first intro post.... H!P Digital Books #204 from June scans

 

 Back in January 2021 changed the age requirement for newbies to 22 years old, don't think it'll be raised again. But said if someone had been having posts and were younger they'd continue to have posts but it was a small number. But noticed there have been posts recently for a pair of Hina gals who are 21 in age, they were having so many pics in group posts thought it'd be better for them to have solo posts. So guess a second part of that age requirement would be if someone is 21 and they've had many pics in group posts then it's not as if they're newbies here. It is my blog so no need to defend on how I do things but do like to explain why or how certain decisions are made, what difference should a few months make?

 In a post done five days ago was briefly talking about Maria and was wondering what am I going to do with her? She's been with Morning Musume for 7 1/2 years and she's 21 in age so how much longer will she remain a member? If it's only 2-3 years and I wait to begin posting about her what a waste it could be if Maria graduates when she's 23 or so in age. She does have pics in group posts so it's not a case of Maria being someone brand new, perhaps she should have had some posts back then. So thought what's good for Hina is also good for Morning Musume but don't expect to see any more 21 in age. Don't think I'm wrong with this assumption but doesn't her face remind you so much of Erika Toda?

 Did mention in that recent post that I think Maria would be so immensely popular here. For some odd reason posts for Hello Project members draw a huge amount of views, only to second to Nogi posts and you can see in the right hand column whose post has had the most views this past month. So will only be going back to last April for Maria things but that'll still mean many posts and am expecting there to be a lot in the future. Her next post will be in a few days and will be for her H!P book #205. Plus will have three posts for magazine spreads as Maria must appear in more mags than the rest of Hello Project combined and that's been the case for two years. Also will have some other things along with Morning Musume news and videos. Never mind about Maria appearing in many mags as she's also is on pace to have more photobooks than any Idol in history, her eighth one came out on February 2nd. Enough rambling and in that next post will have some bio info and whatever else, these H!P Digital books always have some fabulous pics, this set has a total of 98 and gets a grade of A+++++++!!!!
