Miyuki Watanabe: Her historical(?) 45th post....
The number 45 isn't historical though another number is. Which is SIX and that's the amount someone needs to qualify for the yearly faves list. Something has happened which I never thought would as this is her sixth post of the year and for the first time ever Miyuki has qualified for the list!!!! I've been posting about her for ten years and don't think I can say that about anyone else, I was smitten with her ๐ from the first second! So 45 posts over ten years means an average of 4.5 and every year that was the case as she would have four or five posts, figured she would never be eligible for the yearly list. But in fairness to Miyuki her posts are the largest of anyone here, often there's over a hundred photos. Most posts these days have between 60-70 pics so in a way you could say these 45 posts are the equivalent of someone having about 65 posts.
This will be another huge post for her, there's probably 55 new pics plus at least 25 older ones that had never been seen before and a few others that had been in previous posts. So while this will be the first time being eligible for the yearly list it hasn't hurt Miyuki as far as other lists go. She was third on that 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list that was done a little over a year ago. She did have my #1 photobook for 2019 and as I've been saying for years she's my all time most alluring/hottest/sexiest woman ever though some have come close to stealing her crown. But wouldn't give her the crown for being my hottest Idol ever for it's her photos since leaving NMB seven years ago which has made her my all time #1 woman.
Miyuki's last post was done a few days after her September 19th birthday. She hit the age of thirty on that day but in my eyes looks better than ever and I do prefer posting about women around that age but it's getting tougher to do these days. Will begin off with a large amount of pics from her IG page and how about those first dozen?! For her 30th birthday Miyuki held a mini birthday party with her fan club members and didn't she look so super duper? Of course she did and the bottom four pics are from an event she attended on October 4th for Angel champagne.
How about some older pics and it being not too long until Halloween have some pics from that day though this is it as I guess trick or treating isn't a big occasion for her.
In that last post had some NMB cards from July 206 which were Miyuki's final ones with the group, she graduated the following month. Have some cards from May of that year and if you notice she had cut her hair right around that time, the other cards are for her second to last single "Amagami Hime".
I always did like NMB's songs up until 2016 but once your favorites began to leave a group you start to lose interest which did happen for me. One more set of oldie but goldie pics which is this spread from the December 4, 2012 issue of Flash..... almost eleven years ago! It was promoting her first photobook that came out on November 20th and it may have been her first ever time being a cover girl.
There was also a seventy minute DVD from the book's photo shoot and you don't see those often these days for '48' members. The rest of the post will have newish pics and have an encore of another Flash spread that was in Miyuki's last post. It's from their September 12th issue and is just way too small, it features outtake pics from her third photobook and a big difference in looks compared to the above spread.
"Dappi" is the title of her third photobook that was released on September 19th which was Miyuki's 30th birthday. It just spent one week in the top ten for sales and it's harder for an ex-Idol to gain new fans. In that last post had some of these promo/outtake pics from the book but there's three brand new pics in this set.
There was an event held for the book the day before it was released. In that last post had many pics from it but have even more for today that hadn't been posted as her perfection was off the charts!
Miyuki has been a part time model for Mercury Duo for over two years. She did go a long stretch with no new modeling pics for them but did have many in her last post. Since then there's been more new pics at their site and how about those bottom three!!!!
Do have a few other things but will hold on to those for now as I would like to have another post before this year's countdown for the fave's list begins. Of course that newish photobook has many gravure pics but there hasn't been all that many from her the past year. Miyuki has been a model for two lingerie brands and how I would love to see her do that kind of modeling in the future and why not as she looks as stunning as ever! ๐ So will end off with some of her dazzling older pics for Peach John from 2020 and the models for them only stay for six months which is such a shame. After the pics check out a video Miyuki uploaded eight days ago to her YT Vlog which has some footage of those birthday and photobook events.
