Mio Minato: Her dazzling new 'Young King Bull' digital book and many more goodies!

 

 Hard to explain why, then again maybe not, but I've been ga-ga over Mio 😍 for over four years now, even before she joined BababaBambi. It's not a stretch to say she'd in the top five every year on the fave's list if she could get up to 10-12 posts a year, sadly that will never happen but if I can do at least one every other month would be semi satisfied. At first Mio was close to being the most unpopular woman I posted about but as time has gone on she has attracted many fans. She'll never be a star here but her six posts last year did average over 500 views a post and that's a decent figure.

 Whew, I truly am smitten with her! So while Mio did have six posts last year there were none after July 23rd, she and the group were so quiet in the second half of 2023. But things are looking up as there was a group post done four days ago plus the week before that there was a solo post for someone. Since that post a few days ago a pair of magazine spreads have come out for two other members. So am hoping there can be another group this month and perhaps even 1-2 solo ones, the group will be headlining a concert at Budokan on March 14th so there could be many more posts in the next two months.

 Whew again!!!! BababaBambi does put on very entertaining shows and have seen five of their concerts though wish they were longer than ~80 minutes. Maybe with just five members, down from seven, it's hard to do longer shows as groups like Nogi and Keya can have some members rest up while others perform. Have some photos here of Mio at shows, on occasion she will even play the bass which you can see in two of the pics.

 In that previous group posts did have some pics from Mio's IG page but held these ones back, the bottom three are from the digital book's photo shoot that will end the post.

 This batch was in that last post which are from the Maly Moon site. For over a year they've had the different uniforms the group wears and you can purchase those there, as you can see some are for Christmas and there's already some uniforms for Valentine's Day.

 When I first discovered Mio she was a Cosplayer and had just done her first ever gravure spread, that was back in 2019. Have posted many cosplaying pics but not this small set of them, how about those second and third pics!!!!

 Mio certainly isn't old but is slowly climbing up there in age as she'll be turning 27 in June and I truly think she looks so much better than she did when I first started posting about her. No recent magazine spreads but that will soon be changing, so how about an encore viewing of Mio's top 2023 spread that was in her last solo post and was from volume one of Sunny Girl that came out in July.

 Will be ending off with the digital book that came out three days ago from the Young King Bull magazine. Mio will be in their next issue which should be coming within the week, hopefully that may mean another solo post will be coming up soon. Too small of a set as it just has 35 photos but they are of course terrific and after them is a short promo video for the book. Back in 2020 Mio did release a gravure DVD which I have viewed too many times to count, highly recommend it1
