Miku Tanaka: Her scorching and eagerly awaited first intro post!!!!

 


 Don't know if my prediction will be on the money but think she'll soon be the most popular current Idol here and have a feeling(hoping) I may be correct for a change. In the past was a medium sized HKT fan, did a fair amount of posts for them from 2015-18 but most of my faves ended up graduating but on occasion still do posts for two of them. HKT has always been semi popular, their singles used to sell around 250-300,000+ copies. The reason they never became bigger stars is they've never released enough singles, just one a year since 2018. Plus they've never had those really outstanding singles, all of them have been quite good but in a way they do sound the same. On a positive note I always thought their uniforms from that era were the best but they don't wear them these days.



 Earlier in the year introduced Maria Makino who has become the most popular Idol here and by a wide margin. If you like her and many do then Miku is also an Idol who you will enjoy immensely, both are 21 in age and am hoping they're a pair I can post about for many years. Sure most know who Miku is and as time goes will keep giving you more bio info. Her height is just 150 cm so she could be the shortest gal who will be having a lot of posts, why are such short Idols so voluptuous? Though just 21 in age Miku has been with HKT since 2014, she did try to join that Japanese/Korean pop unit Produce 48 but luckily for us wasn't too successful. 



 So because Miku is just 21 in age will only be going back to January for her pics. But that's okay as no Idol or perhaps gravure model has appeared in as many magazines as she has this year! That's no lie as I bet she's had close to thirty mag spreads in 2022 and there's still 2 1/2 months to go. Most of the spreads are massive, think only two have had less than ten pages! So my plan is to have four spreads a post and will try to work in the order they came since January. Plus will add in some other activities that took place during the year, may sound hard to believe but there may be seven or so Miku posts over the next two months! With her IG pics will also be working in the order they came out so this batch here are ones from January to March.











 Miku is quite popular as she's been the center for two HKT singles. Her second one was "Kimi to Doko ka e Ikitai" which came out on May 12, 2021. It hit #2 on the charts and sold about 180,000 copies, these days most groups have seen such a decline in sales. Have the PV for the song and she plays the conductor in the opening.




 

 It's not a list I do but if there was one for who had the best spreads of the year then Miku would be my #1 choice for 2022! The reason I'm only going to have four spreads a post is that they're so large and on occasion may only have three. So as mentioned will be working in the order they came out but may not always be 100%. Miku is almost always the cover girl for the magazines she appears in, this first set is from the January 15th issue of Young Jump and it may be her smallest one of the year.









 Nope, this next spread has one less photo and am starting off with her two smallest ones of the year. But of course she was the cover girl for the February edition of Young Champion Best.









 Third dazzling spread for today is a large set and is from the February issue of EX-Taishu.
















 Final alluring set for Miku's first ever post is from the February 11th issue of Young Animal. For all of her spreads have noticed there haven't been any videos from the photo shoots and what a crime that is! Let me work a bit harder finding them but perhaps there are none. So after the pics have a video from September 2021, it was an event for Miku's first and only photobook. Do have it but am debating whether to post it but have plenty of time to decide on that.
