Mio Minato: Her very belated.... 'Happy 26th Birthday' post....
Have been wanting to have another BababaBambi group post as their last one was so popular but it hasn't been possible. From December to mid April must have had close to thirty posts and most of them were solo ones for the members. But that pace wasn't going to continue as this is the first post in almost five weeks but may have another before the month ends. There was a bit of a group reshuffle as two members graduated on May 24th but my top five members are still with the group, will have a little bit of that info further down.
Ten days late with this post as birthday #26 took place on June 10th, better late than never. Especially when I thought there would be no chance of a post but a new mini digital book just came out and will end the post with that. This is Mio's fifth post since December 1st so she'll easily get to six which means for the fist time she'll qualify for the yearly faves list. I really adore Mio and hope it doesn't come as a surprise but she's currently my third top fave, if Mio could get to 10-12 posts for a year she'd be in the battle to be #1!!!! That's how much I like her and have so for over three years, for so long it was hard to do posts for her but she did have five last year. This is not going to be a large post but there will be sixty or so pics. Am holding back some regular Mio modeling pics as I'm hoping to have another post for her next month, hope it's not wishful thinking.
So as mentioned two graduated from BababaBambi on May 24th, they're back down to five members which is okay as they've been my faves from the group. Will try to have a group post soon but it hasn't been easy doing posts for any of them recently, that mini quiet stretch could mean we'll be seeing a lot of mag spreads and books coming up. As you can see below the group does have a lot of upcoming concerts and they do put on an entertaining show. Wish they had that one or two 'signature songs' to make them more popular but they are doing well and recommend checking out any of their live videos or shows. Here's some upcoming concert flyers and also some IG pics of the five members. In the first group pic Mio is in blue, Saeko is in the back row and in the middle, she too has a new digital book so will have a post for her very soon.
Mio does post many photos at her IG page and I really like the way she looks in her non-gravure pics. She only has one from the past month as she hasn't had any recent photo shoots, bottom two are from ten days ago and her 26th birthday.
I first noticed Mio back in 2019 when she was an up and coming cosplayer, she looked terrific dressed up. What we haven't seen her in is are dramas or films, she does appear on some group variety show but can't understand why she hasn't done more acting. Mio's posts have been semi-popular, if I did ten posts the one for her would rank about sixth for views. So many may have missed some of her older mag spreads which are just so sweltering. Here's a stupendous set you may have missed from the August 1, 2022 issue of WPB.... whew, the second and third pics have sent my imagination into high gear.... bottom five are from the photo shoot.
Two days ago Mio released her second digital book for 2023, what an outstanding set of pics so it's a shame they only total 32. The book has the title of "Citron Girl" and it was published by the Brody magazine, it's rare for them to have books. No new Mio videos so after the pics have an encore showing of a February photo shoot video which I highly recommend.
