Mio Imada: A little bit of this and that....

 

 Kind of shocked that this is only Mio's second post since November, she had averaged over a post a month since 2018 and not many others can brag about that. One reason could be is that two years ago Mio 'retired' from gravure modeling so there aren't nearly as many mag spreads these days. There was a rash of older digital books for a while but guess those archives of unreleased gravure pics are now gone. That's such a shame as though Mio isn't the most bodacious of women her gravure pics are very hard to top along with her extraordinary alluringness. Her last post was done exactly a month ago for her 25th birthday, that's been her most viewed post in over a year as her fan base has really increased.

 For being such a huge fave of mine it's surprising Mio has only finished between the 9th and 15th positions on the last three yearly lists. Though it's just her second post for this year don't have any worries for her qualifying for this year's list but would like to see her move up in the ranking as I like her more than most women who top her on the lists. One reason could be is that I haven't seen Mio in enough dramas and do think she's a decent actress. However the shows she's appeared really haven't been the most interesting of series and her roles haven't been large enough. 

 However Mio will have her first lead role in a drama that begins on April 13th. Title of it is "Waru: Hataraku no ga Kakko Warui Nante Dare ga Itta?" and that's one long title. This new series will be subbed so will do recaps for the first two episodes when they're done, if it's a solid show will recap the entire drama.

 Not many actresses do as many CM's as Mio does, here's a newish one for Suumo which also has a behind the scenes segment: Suumo CM

 Besides being a semi 'CM Queen' Mio has been one busy model the last few years. But have noticed she's slowed down on that kind of work lately and this is the busy time of the year for Spring Collections but her only new modeling pics as been this too small batch for GRL.

 Mio is still quite popular in Japan and usually is the cover girl for the magazines she appears in. Her spreads are always superb but will have to admit I miss the days of her doing gravure sets, this batch is from the April issue of Steady.

 Another cover for her which is from the May issue of Ray.

 Not the largest of posts as we've reached the end but with the new drama starting next week wouldn't be surprised if there's another post coming up very soon. On April 5th Mio was at an event to promote her new CM for Kirin and their new Whiskey Riku. You can see her pouring a drink at the event but I wonder if there was real whiskey in the bottle. There's a few videos of the event but instead have the CM following the pics which also has a 'making of' segment.
