Miku Tanaka: Her ultra broiling Young Magazine "Sweet Escape" digital book plus much more!!!!
From 2018 to 2024 had the requirement of a woman needing six posts in a year to qualify for the fave's list and often had about thirty women reaching that mark. But by 2024 the number of those eligible dropped to barely over twenty and last year it dropped to thirteen! It could even get worse in the future so last year decided to drop the number of posts needed for the fave's list and also one other list to five posts, that made an extra five women eligible and because of that one of those snuck into the top ten. Bring that up for Miku is the first one to qualify for this year's list as this is already post #5 for her and have another all ready to go! Plus some fabulous news was just announced so quickly Miku has zoomed into being the woman all other have to chase to be my Queen of the year, she also had that honor in 2024!
Always take the final day of a month off so will just have one more day of posting which of course will be tomorrow. Did have a goal for 2026 to average 35 posts a month for a total of 420 for the year. Tomorrow's post will just be the 30th so didn't make that goal but if I have forty in a month am right back at the pace. However every year the posts tend to get better/larger or least it seems that way to me. The 29 posts so far for January have all been terrific and did notice the views for them have increased so you readers seem to be enjoying them as much as ever. Not sure why I began to rattle on about posting but then again where else could I put these musings?
Speaking of posts Miku was introduced here in October 2022, a month after her 21st birthday which means she'll be hitting the age of 25 this year! That intro post was done forty months ago and this now makes it 59 posts for Miku, what a pace that's been! She gets about 1.5 posts a month and only an ex-SKE member can top the amount of posts in those forty months and that average may even increase this year. For me that many posts has created a mini problem and it doesn't take much to confuse me. Miku has had so many digital books the last few months and I'm confused on what's been posted and what hasn't! One problem is that four of the books have been published by a magazine with the word Young in the title and I've been pulling my hair out trying to sort the books out. But think I figured it out, two of the Young books have been posted, this is the first of the other two and will have the second sometime next month.
I'm thinking there should be at least three other posts besides that other book the next two months for Miku and I wouldn't mind seeing her be my #1 Queen for the second time in three years! What's really going to help is that it was recently announced that on March 9th Miku's third regular photobook would be released and that shocked me to an extent. Her first two books were released around her September 12th birthday though there was no book last year. The first four pics below are the first promo photos for the book, will have much more info in Miku's upcoming posts. The other pics are from her IG page and it wasn't too busy of a month for Miku but she's probably getting ready for the book's release.
Miku's fan club has become much popular over the last year and she's held quite a few events for the members, the last get together was on January 17th. The name of it is Miclub and Miku has some overly sweltering photos there, the below ones are new and they make you want to become a member.... could that first photo be Miku's most scorching to date?!!!! WOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!!
In a little over two weeks it'll be Valentine's Day, over in Japan it's much more popular than it is in America. These are some older pics for the semi-holiday and will try to find a few more.... bet Miku can't stand too close next to chocolate for her hotness would melt it!!!!
No new dramas or films are lined up yet for 2026 but Miku's acting career has been going well the last two years, especially in 2024 and sure recently she's been concentrating more on her new photobook. For a change don't have any new magazine spreads but sure there will be plenty to promote the upcoming book. So let's have an encore of two prior spreads and I often include them in posts as the pics in them are usually so terrific and hate to see them forgotten about. First off is this set from the October 21st issue of Manga Action and of course Miku was the cover girl. Up until mid-2024 Miku's spreads were always quite large, say twenty pages, but since then they only average about half that amount.
For Miku's other spread let's go way back in time to April 2023 and this sizzling set is from volume 005 of Girls Graph. Once again Miku is the cover girl and as I said above her spreads years ago were usually this size which is sixteen pages.
We've hit the end and what a large post this turned out to be, bet it'll one of the hugest posts for 2026. On December 26th the Young Magazine released two Miku digital books, this is the first and the second you'll see by the end of next month. This features outtake pics from her 2025 photo shoots for the magazine and the pictorial contains 77 pics, it has the title of "Sweet Escape". A little over halfway through is Miku dressed in a black swimsuit, four of those photos are from her IG page. The way Miku looks dressed in that swimsuit could be her most alluring pics to date and that's really saying something for how many thousands of sweltering pics have I posted of her?!!!! Couldn't find any videos for the books but after the dazzling photos is a promo video for Miku's fifth gravure video that came out ten days ago, I've seen her last two and have been walking on air since viewing them.... WOWOW!!!!
