Miku Tanaka: Her searing third photobook "Zenbu, Honto" scans

 


 I've been a big Miku fan for over five years, she was my #1 woman for 2024 and has made the top ten three other times on the yearly fave's list. But will confess I was getting a bit tired of her and that's not only my opinion for I have a feeling so many others were too as she had too many things in such a short amount of time.... because she was planning for a longish break???? Too much of a good thing can also be a negative and it was in the case of Miku whose digital books and magazine spreads were coming at such a frantic pace. That's happened with a few others I post about who would have such an onslaught of things and before long people grew tired of the books/magazines even though the photos were so dazzling. In the case of Miku this book is quite terrific but has been the first true negative she's had in her career.

 The book was released on March 9th and was only on the charts for one week selling about 3,500 copies, her two other books were on the charts for about ten weeks cobined selling over 60,000 copies! So that's a massive drop in sales and think so many were just getting tired of Miku who may have realized that. For she hasn't done one gravure photo shoot this year, the books and magazine spreads I did earlier this year were of photos from 2025 so the only time we've seen Miku this year was at an event she held for this book. Don't think I sounded cruel or anything like that as I do like Miku immensely but the onslaught of her things was just too much and it's been nice to take a semi breather from her..... but hope it's ending soon! You readers may agree with me and her fans in Japan for her posts this year did see a drop in views compared to the previous two years.



 It's rare when I moan about someone having too many books and mag spreads, 98% of the time it's me complaining there's not enough of those! So even though the public may have grown a bit weary of Miku this third book could be her best to date and is also her most revealing, there will be many pictures that will ensure a sleepless night! For the photo shoots Miku made her first ever trip to Europe, Portugal and the Lisbon area was where the book was set. Think the title means Everything is true and though the public has soured on Miku to a slight extent sure she'll be making her return soon and be better than ever(!), might have been much wiser to have spaced out the releases of this book and her digital ones instead of so many seemingly at once. This book contains 107 photos, 103 below plus four above and this is the regular print edition. On April 27th a web version was released and will post that towards the end of July, the pics are from the same photo shoot but they're all different and I prefer that version a tad more though can't complain about one of these photos. After the sizzling pics is a short promo video for the book, viewing it does make me miss Miku and even though she did overwhelm us with too many things in such a short amount of time am starting to miss her....
