Maria Makino: A (too)little bit of this and that....

 


 Didn't realize until now but this is only Maria's third post since October. She is a busy woman with a radio show and has a part time role on a variety show besides doing so many things with Morning Musume but those activities aren't things that make for an interesting post. But I really wanted to do a post for Maria so though it's not too large there are plenty of ultra perfect pics and that word perfect to me describes Maria to a T!!!!



 One major reason for the lack of posts is that Maria didn't release a photobook on her February 2nd birthday, think prior to 2023 she had released one five straight years on that date. So hoping it'll mean we may see one later on this year and she's probably the most popular member of Hello Project so why hasn't she had more exposure lately? Morning Musume is currently on tour celebrating their 25th anniversary, some cards for the tour and they've been lacking too the past year.






 Plenty of super duper duper pics from the group's Abema blog, don't think Maria or any other member have a regular IG page.














 The bottom three photos were from a recent UTB photo shoot, Maria will be the back cover girl for their next issue. So many of her magazine spreads the last year have been with other MM members, this set is a brand new one from the April 3rd issue of Young Magazine. Once again she's hooked up with Rio and they've had at least three spreads together the past year, Maria had only one solo pic but it's a scorching one and there is a video from the photo shoot after the pics.












 

 Do have one new solo spread for Maria that's from the May edition of Steady, no gravure pics but she still looks mighty fine to me.









 So that's it for the new activities and there weren't nearly enough for Maria's fans as she has so, so many here. An encore viewing of a spread seems like a good idea then and let's end off with this set from the September 2021 issue of UTB. It's probably Maria's largest spread ever and also my #1 from her, some of the pics are from the photo shoot and there's also a video from the shoot which is after the pics and of course will highly recommend viewing it! However it can't be embedded so here's the link to it: UTB photo shoot video
