Minami Hamabe: "20" photobook scans

 


 Had been a little over three months since her last post. Been trying on one but save for a pair of events these past two months there hasn't been much else going on. Then I remembered(how could I forget?!) that Minami's "20" photobook that came out last October hadn't been posted and this set will definitely beat any other pics of her that will come out this year. Did include many pics in Minami's last two posts and said at the time would eventually get around to having the whole book. In those two posts also mentioned how for some reason I was kind of leery about posting the entire book and hope it was just needless worrying. Have had six hundred posts for books but was a bit worried about a warning about this book and can't give a good reason why I was, hopefully nothing to worry about.

 


 Do try to wait at least three months before posting a regular photobook as not to affect sales, seeing as how this came out last October 27th it's now six months and sure sales are practically nothing by now.
Sales were close to 40,000 copies sold which made it the tenth best selling book for 2021 though thought the total would have been higher. Books these days don't sell like they once did, only three have broken 100,00 in sales since the beginning of 2021 and all were for members of Hina. The photo shoot took place on the island of Amami which is part of a chain of isles northeast of Okinawa. September was when the pics were taken and the prior month was when Minami turned 21 in age, she was waving bye to the age of twenty or her teens? Don't know what others will think but to me this is one of the better books of 2021, Minami is no gravure model which is one reason I've always liked her. Also her conservatism and hope for future books she doesn't reveal any more than she does here. There's a total of 119 pics and do promise to have at least one post next month for her.
