Miyuki Watanabe: another.... just because I really, really, really wanted to do a post for her!

 

 Never thought about it until yesterday but seems these days I do more posts for ex-Idols than are done for current ones. Last year five of the top nine on the fave's list were for Idols who had graduated and guess they're tough to top, nice knowing the women I really like haven't changed all that much over the years. It also means to an extent that the current Idols aren't as good as the ones from 5-10 years ago though I hate to say that as there are plenty of current ones who I do like quite a bit but with all of these graduations there just aren't as many huge faves of mine these days. As matter of fact will confess to growing bored with the groups save for perhaps SKE and to an extent Morning Musume so there could be a drop for '46' groups.

 Did a post five days ago with a very similar title, sometimes when I want to do a post for someone will work so hard at it. What makes this post a bit different is that there hasn't been that much going on with Miyuki over the past month and have very few new photos. However was able to find eleven(!) old magazine spreads from 2012-13 that had never been posted here before so in a way you will be seeing quite a few new pics. So will have four of those spreads for today and then the other seven will have in her next few posts as there should be one for Miyuki next month. Know I moan about not being able to do many posts for her but this makes ten since the beginning of 2023 which is her best stretch ever.

 Have said for years Miyuki is my all time most alluring woman and that may never change! Have quite a few gravure DVDs of her and was watching a few the other day, that's when I knew a post needed to be done for her! Will begin off with some new IG pics and there aren't that many, Miyuki tends to be streaky with her activities like so many other women I post about, she seems to be much busier in the  Spring and Autumn. The top photo is a promo one for the upcoming Amagasaki Semple Cup which are boat races that will be held from March 4th to the 9th, she'll be one of the main emcees at the event.

 Also on March 20th Miyuki will be at the Spring/Summer 'Kansai Collection' show that will be held in her hometown of Osaka. She always looks terrific at them and here's some from their March 2019 show and don't recall ever posting these before.

 Of course a week from now Valentines Day will be taking place, shame she won't be baking any chocolate for me! Here's some more older pics that are new for here with the top being some ancient NMB cards, she's been gone from them for 7 1/2 years! The others were from a special February 2016 feature with the Model Press site for the semi-holiday, there is a reason Miyuki's nickname is Milky. There was also a video that went along with it and that's after the pics.

 

 In the middle above was her NMB close mate Nana Yamada and do I miss posting about her, for so long she was in my top five for all time hottest Idols! Now on to those quartet of very old magazine spreads form 2012-13, all Miyuki fans should enjoy these and as mentioned they had never been posted here before. For most she would have been nineteen in age, on September 19th she'll be turning 31. There's not going to be any kind of order to these, first up is this set from the December 2012 issue of Monthly Young Magazine.

 This is one of the later spreads that's from the July 25, 2013 issue of Weekly Shonen. Of course Miyuki looked so super back then but it's no comparison to her perfect looks these days!

 Next up is this set from the April 22, 2013 issue of Young Magazine, surprised it was so small as she was the cover girl.

 Will end off with this Miyuki set that's from April 2013 and Young Champion Best. There used to be a video from the photo shoot on YT but couldn't find it, knowing them another uploader was banned. That's a shame as there has been no gravure video I've viewed more than that one, perhaps over 250 times! Oh well, have my second favorite one from Miyuki after the pics which is from 2015 and Young Magazine, which is another one I've viewed too many times to count! Maybe it's just me but the performance of YT has dropped so badly over the last year, so much that I think it's the worst site on the internet and only visit there for videos to embed in these posts.
