Miru Shiroma: Few recent sizzling happenings.... part one....
At first thought it was surprising but after looking at her history of posts am not surprised this is Miru's 45th post. Of those 41 have been solo posts and not a lot of the J-Pop Idols who I've posted about can brag about having that many solo posts, especially those from '48' groups. But Miru had zero last year but had averaged seven posts a year from 2017-21, in 2021 she graduated from NMB. The posts didn't end there as she had seven the next two years which isn't a bad total for ex-members of '48' groups. Ten days ago did a post that featured the master edition of Miru's third photobook that came out in 2023. It's come close to 500 views but thought the total would be a bit higher, the post for her ultra amazing "Love Rush" photobook is one of the most popular ones ever here and did that in March 2020, to date it has over 18,500 views!
Having 45 posts wasn't surprising but the fact that Miru will be hitting the age of thirty is and that will happen in 23 months! You don't think about ex-Idols like her ever hitting that age but soon most of my faves will be that age or older! It's got to be tougher these days for semi-popular Idols such as Miru to stay in the limelight. She was a popular member of NMB but outside of their fan bases most people aren't aware of women such as Miru, that group of semi-popular Idols includes most members from AKB, SKE, Nogi and Keya. So perhaps that's why 2024 was such a quiet year for her, Miru just released her fourth photobook and bet she's hoping it'll jumpstart her career. I hope so too as she's been a huge fave of mine for over eight years or since mid-2017. When I do my third 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list think she'll have a spot on that but not in the top ten. Three times Miru 😍 has made my yearly faves list, is in my top ten for hottest Idols of all time and would also be in my top ten for all of the members to pass through the '48' groups. So Miru certainly has an impressive track record here, at times wish she did a few more activities such as acting, appearing at events or doing regular modeling but her gravure photos are so dazzling who can ever get enough of them?!!!!
The title says 'Part One' for recent happenings as the plan is to have another post very soon, was thinking of having that for the first post of December but could move it up to next weekend. Am holding back a brand new Miru magazine spread and all of her newest IG photos, she has an event next Saturday for her book and sure I can scrounge up a few other things. That post should be about the size of this one which I think will have about eighty pics and though I consider a post like this to be medium sized it's actually larger than 98% of the posts other bloggers do. Like I mentioned above hope this book will be a success as besides being such a sultry woman Miru 😍 is so likable and is one of the most popular Idols I've ever done posts for so know we all want to see more than just these three recent posts.
Will begin off with some older NMB cards for November and think these are all new for here. Never did include many of these in Miru's previous posts so outside of ones for Christmas most have never been posted here before. Not too many for this current month, the cards go from 2016-20 and though she's dressed in Christmas outfits for a few you'll notice the cards say November on them.
Miru is the cover girl for this week's edition of Young Champion, that ten page spread will be in her next post. For today have a new set that's twice as small as is from the November 25th issue of Flash and has outtake pics from the new photobook. Miru isn't shy about showing off her close to perfect figure but at times wish she would tone it down a bit but then again how can I or anyone else complain about such sweltering pics....
Because that spread was a bit small will have an encore viewing of such a fabulous older one. As I've said often in posts enjoy reviving these older spreads as so many outstanding ones tend to be forgotten about or perhaps had never been seen by you viewers. This set is from the June 28, 2021 issue of Big Comic Spirits, Miru was the cover girl and think it was her only time for this magazine. It was promoting her second photobook, Miru graduated from NMB less than two months later so this was one of her final spreads while a member.... also one of her best spreads ever!!!!
Wasn't going to include these but decided a few seconds ago to do so as the photos are so terrific, wish we saw more of Miru dressed this way. The pics are from a TheTV.jp interview that came out yesterday, of course the main topic was the new photobook. Miru talked about getting in shape for the photo shoots but wasn't she already in perfect shape? Also why she titled the book "Merci" which means Thank You in French, here's the link to the entire interview and there's also a few more splendid pics at their site: TheTV.jp site
NMB hails from Osaka, so doesn't Miru and she still lives there plus many other ex-members do also. Next Saturday which is the 22nd she'll be having an event in her hometown for photobook #4 so I'll either do a post the following day or wait until December 1st. Which does sound like a better idea as to spread her posts out a bit. Yesterday Miru attended an event at the HMV Bookstore in Akihabara and once again doesn't she look so fabulous the way she's dressed? I think so and Miru needs to do more regular modeling, she has done a bit so in the past but not for the last year or so. At the event she did talk a bit about what she's done this year and Miru did perform a mini concert in Hong Kong, she loves K-Pop and has released a few singles with that vibe. But that kind of music isn't as popular as it once was in Japan, at the event Miru did vow to her fans she would be much busier in 2026 and can't believe we're going to flip the yearly calendar page once again....
Will end off with some advance/promo pictures for the new "Merci" photobook which was officially released on November 14th. Most of the photo shoots took place in and around the resort town of Da Nang, Vietnam and I've noticed so many books this past year have been set in that country. Will have even more pics in her next post and check out that bottom photo, for all four books Miru has kept coming closer and closer to exposing more of herself and that last pic could be her most exposed photo in a way. Miru has her own YT Vlog and does keep that updated, two days she added in a must watch video for this book's photo shoot and that's after the pics. That last one is revealing but the photo above that is my favorite, fourth one is quite amazing also!
