Maria Makino: Her third ultra sizzling intro post....

 

 Just this one post for today but it has enough dazzling pics for five posts!!!! Been working on about seven posts but just can't find the pieces to finish them off, sure a few will be ready though this week. Introducing Maria was a very wise decision and knew she'd be very popular here. Her first two posts have a combined total of well over a thousand views, wouldn't doubt if by the end of the year her posts will be in the top five for highest views per post. So this is post #3 in ten days, coming up will be two posts for her 2021 activities and one for a pair of mini digital photobooks, will also have some recent things in those posts. At 165.5 cm(65 inches) Maria is the tallest current Hello Project member, was just looking at the heights of the members and are those gals short! Especially the ones from ANGERME and next month will try to have the first Juice=Juice post in ages.

 Maria is now the youngest woman I post about so will only be going back a year for her things. That shouldn't be a problem as she's probably the busiest member of Hello Project and does so much work outside of Morning Musume. So everything for today are pics that have come out since the beginning of the year and am holding some things back such as blog/IG pics, some recent modeling ones and few other things. What I'm hoping for is a busier year for Morning Musume and they're one of the few groups whose singles have never really dropped off as far as quality goes. Problem is they only released one single last year and they've always been a very busy group so the hope is that they'll have 2-3 singles for this year so we can have more posts for Maria and another huge fave of mine.

 Marie is such a massive Baseball fan and will discuss it more in her future posts. She's probably ecstatic the season in Japan will be starting soon and she's thrown out the first pitch at games at least five times, unsure if she's a semi host of any Baseball shows and she should be.

 Am holding back pics from the MM group blog and also her Instagram pics for those upcoming posts but there's still fifty pics for this post. Maria does more outside modeling than any member and have some fabulous ones that came out ten days ago from the Voce site. Don't think she's a regular model for them but has more pics at the site which will also be in future posts.

 Here's a way too small new spread from the February 15th issue of Flash which has some outtake pics from her new photobook.

 Much bigger set that's from the February 8th issue of Young Champion. What I've noticed is that when Maria's cover pics for a magazine may be better than anyone else's, whew....

 Maria's new photobook is titled "M21" and she's had eight books in the last seven years! That must be some sort of record and five have come out on her February 2nd birthday. This latest book was and some some breathtaking outtake pics from it here. In it's first week out Maria's book was the fifth best selling PB with a little over 2,300 copies sold. But think the total sold was much more and that's been the case for all Hello Project books over the years as those sales don't include what's sold at events, concerts and think their main site.

 Photo shoot took place on the islands of Ishigaki and Kohama. With the book was a 65 minute DVD and needless to say no adjectives can describe how sweltering it was!!!! These screenshots are just from the first fourteen minutes which means there will be plenty more coming up in future posts. Maria is one hot young woman, not sure where she would be on a list of current hottest Idols but know it would be no lower than fifth. Was hoping there would be a video for one of the two spreads though none yet but after the pics is a terrific one for her seventh photobook.
