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

 

 Sure most viewers don't realize it but have mentioned a few times how massive a fave Mio is of mine. Wouldn't call it a stretch to say she's been in my top five for well over a year but it hasn't been that easy to do posts for her. Her first ever one was in January 2020 and that was a bit before BababaBami was formed though they didn't perform any shows until July of that year. Mio had four posts in 2020 but 2021 was much slower as she just had a pair of them. However she did have five last year and this is her third since December, a goal of mine is for her to hit six and qualify for the yearly faves list.

 But hope the total is much higher than six, if Mio could somehow get to ten or more she'd be in this year's top five and may even have an outside shot at being number one!!!! Mio did audition for Nogi and thinking it had to be back in 2016 when the third generation members joined, she would have been eighteen at the time and is BababaBambi's oldest member as she'll be turning 26 in June. The group will never be superstars but are becoming more popular every day and I really enjoy their tunes, does help the members look so darn good too! The Tokyo Idol Festival/TIF is held every August and so many groups perform at it, even some bigger ones such as AKB, Nogi and SKE. Last year BababaBambi won the fan vote for being the best group at the festival and what we need to see them do is release a concert DVD, their second mini album came out ten days ago.

 Last week did a group post for BababaBambi and do plan on having another one this month. So though Mio doesn't have a large amount of posts yet will work harder for her than anyone else this year to increase that total, though not a true gravure model in a way she is and she's my current #3 model. Not a huge amount of new pics, some you've seen before, there will be a huge amount of one thing that will end the post and do have some sparkling newer pics. Such as these photos from her IG page.... gulp, that third photo....

 Have a recent interview here with the Hominis site that came put on February 2nd. Mio was talking about a new magazine spread and will have that next, also about some group activities and here's the link to it: Hominis interview

 That spread was for the January 30th issue of Big Comic Spirits, first time Mio had been their cover girl. Did have the spread in her last post but it definitely needs an encore viewing!

 Bottom pics are of Mio cosplaying and she used to do a lot of that before she joined the group, not as much of that these days. In that BababaBambi post had the group's 2023 calendar, no member had a lot of solo pics and these are taken from that post.

 Not a large post as we're already at the end but for the finale will have 34 hotter than hot pics! Back in January 2020 Mio released her first ever gravure DVD called Venus Film #7, finally got that ten days ago and have viewed it three times as it sent me to seventh heaven! The DVD is 86 minutes long, these screenshots are from the first twenty minutes so you'll be seeing more in future posts. Realize Mio isn't as voluptuous as other gravure models and Idols but in my eyes she beats 99% of the woman I post about. Will have to say she has become a bit popular here the past year and her fans should adore these pics, especially the ones dressed in black, whew!!!! Shame there's no promo video for the DVD so after the pics have one for that Big Comic Spirits spread, that too deserves an encore viewing!
