Nao's top sixteen Faves for 2022: Position #15, the exhilarating Miyu Murashima

 

Previous Positions

#16, Marie

 As mentioned in the first post for the countdown this is the strongest year to date for the list and this is now the eighth year of doing them. Being in the 15th position may not seem high enough but just making this year's faves list is an achievement and a few others who missed out would have made the list in most other years. Planning on doing #1 on December 20th, then a few days after will have a wrap up post where I give some stats about the women who made the list and some final thoughts. The list this year only has sixteen as for so long it appeared only 25 would be eligible, you need six posts in a year to qualify. But it ended up being 27 women who qualified so in that wrap up post will increase the list to twenty and have positions seventeen to twenty in that post.

 Also mentioned in that first post how most of them for the list should be huge posts save for two or three of them. This is another mini one but then again at 45 new pics it shouldn't be considered to be too small and off course the quality of pics will be close to unbeatable!!!! Miyu is the first of three newbies who were introduced this year who will make the top sixteen and doubt if this will be her last appearance on the fave's list! Think the main reason she wasn't a bit higher is because of the lack of different activities. Her magazine spreads and digital books have been second to none this year but she hasn't done all that many other things such as appearing at events, acting or doing regular modeling work. But there's still time for all of them in the future as Miyu is still only 24 in age and she's become so popular as a gravure model so why not strike while the iron is hot!

 Miyu was in the J-Pop group CHERRSEE and have to admit I really didn't care for their sound. They broke up over two years ago which is a good thing as had they still been around perhaps we wouldn't have been seeing so many dazzling spreads from Miyu. At 157 cm she is a bit short for a gravure model or at least the ones I post often about though her height is the only thing small about her!!!! Let's begin off with some recent pics from her IG page, nice to see some non-gravure pics now and again.

 In some terrific news for Miyu's huge fan base on December7th she'll be releasing her first regular photobook. There's going to be an event for it on the 13th and sure there will be a few upcoming magazine spreads to promote it so there could be another pair of posts next month. The book will be published by the Young Jump magazine, so far these are the only promo pics for the book.

 As far as being popular goes Miyu may be second to none here! At the end of December will be doing a list of who the most popular women were here for the year, that's figured out by how many views their posts get and I'd be shocked if she wasn't number one!!!! As mentioned this wasn't a large post and some of the positions won't be, one reason for it being a tad small is that she had two posts last month. Here's a breathtaking new spread from the November 29th issue of Flash.

 Last for new pics is this set from the November 7th issue of WPB, Miyu as you can see was their cover girl and it was promoting an October digital book for the magazine.

 After this final set of pics is a video for the above spread and believe me, you have to view it! Will end off with some overly perfect pics of Miyu from this year and it's easy to see why she's become the most popular woman here!
