Mio Minato: Her captivating baker's dozen post....
At one time I used to moan about how Mio may have been the most unpopular woman here. Her older posts used to get 350-400 views which kind of disappointed me as those posts are all terrific. But over time things have really changed as now those posts have around 800 views and it just took a while for everyone to warm up to her. Not me though as Mio is a massive fave but you probably wouldn't know it as this is just her thirteenth post. She had four last year so didn't qualify for the yearly faves list, if she can ever increase that total to eight she just may end up in the top five!!!!
So while Mio's 'claim to fame' is because of being a gravure model she's much more than that. She was a long time cosplayer, hosts a radio and web show, is a J-Pop singer and also does a few other various things. I've been smitten with her for quite a long time and when the third 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list is done 3 1/2 years from now she just may squeeze on! Does help appearing on the yearly faves list but two who made the all time list never appeared on one so if she can keep averaging four posts a year then I could see her being rewarded for that, this is her second post since December 1st.
Mentioned that Mio is a J-Popper, she's a member of BababaBambi who has grown into such a fave group of mine. She'll be turning 26 in June which makes her the oldest member and they've really seen their popularity rise the last two years. Not positive but think they have a regular single coming out at the end of February so would like to do their first group post just before then, they also perform at so many concerts and noticed those venues are getting larger.
This is not a large post but have a glittering new 23 page magazine spread and why let it get dated? Mio will the spokeswoman for a new mini amusement park named 'Animate Kuzuha Mall' which will be opening at the Kuzuha Mall in Hirakata City which isn't far from Osaka. Next month she has some new CM's coming out for the park and also hope she attends an event or two. Actually think that may be happening as I was just reading she'll be the 'manager' for the opening two days.
Mio certainly posts some sweltering IG pics and just wish she had more of them! These are from the past month and five photos are from a BLT Graph photo shoot.
We're already at the end, did say it would be a mini post but there's 43 new pics for today. Will end off with that hotter than hot new magazine spread that was mentioned and Mio is the cover girl for the January 30th issue of Big Comic Spirits. After the pics is a video of the photo shoot which is highly recommended and Mio's had so few gravure videos over the years.
