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

 

 Have been able to do at least one regular post a day but it's still a slowish period for happenings. But did warn everyone January usually is a slow stretch and the posts should be picking back up, sure hope so! You rarely see photobooks come out this month nor many singles or albums. Do have a good supply of digital books that need to be posted but want to space them out plus it seems the same five or so women are the only ones having books and don't want everyone to get tired of them.

 Here is such an immense fave of mine ad hope that doesn't make everyone's eyes roll! Not a large post but it was the best I could do for today, it's also the fourth anniversary of Mio's first ever post. This is her 22nd to date which isn't a high number but I still like her much more than almost all who have twice as many posts as she does. Just did a post for Mio ten days ago and two in a month for her is a rarity but think you may be seeing more of her and BababaBambi over the next month. Did check on Mio's older posts and though she was far from popular in the beginning her fan base here has really increased and most of those posts now have over a thousand views and that brings a smile to my face.

 There are some reasons I said you may be seeing more of BababaBambi in the near future and hope so as I really like the five members. Don't hate to say it but in a way they're much more interesting than other Idol groups such as Hina or Keya, just wish they could do as many activities as they do. On March 14th they'll be headlining their first ever concert at the historic Budokan arena, they do put on such a fun show and it's worth checking out their YT music videos. The group will also be the cover girls for the next issue of Young Gangan, below are some promo pics for it. So will have a group post coming up soon along with at least one more solo one as there have been a few other recent magazine spreads. 

 This won't be a huge post but do have at least forty new Mio pics plus do have a pair of older mag spreads from four years ago. First off are these newish pics from Mio's IG page, bottom ones are with BabababBambi and who coined that name????

 When I first started posting about Mio in January 2020 BababaBambi hadn't been formed yet and her semi claim to fame was being a cosplayer. Have some of those kinds of pics below and many are brand new for here.

 Will have a pair of ancient magazine spreads from four years ago, figured most had never seen them before and if you did bet they've been forgotten about. Mio hails from Fukuoka and didn't move to Tokyo until July 2019. So she had never done any gravure modeling until this set below which is from January 2020 and the Young Champion magazine, as they say the rest is history!

 Hard to say why but I was smitten with Mio 😍😍😍😍 since that first above spread and that smitteness(?) has only grown! Have one more 2020 spread that was from the March 9th issue of WPB, it was her second ever gravure spread and even better than that above set.

 In Mio's last post had a new digital book from the Young King Bull magazine. Didn't have this spread in that post which is from their February edition, as fabulous as she looked four years ago she looks so much more attractive and alluring these days. After the pics is a short promo video for this spread and the book. Mio has two gravure DVD's and do have them, can't believe they still work after so many viewings and wish she had more videos from her photos shoots.
