Miku Kanemura: Her electrifying 45th post!

 


 Third post for Miku in six weeks and know no one is complaining about that. One of those previous posts is currently #1 for most viewed post of the past month while another is in the top ten. Miku also had a post in August and September so this makes it five in three months, shame she only had one for 2026 before that. For if there were another 2-3 of them Miku may have ended up in the top five for the third time on the yearly faves list. She also has one other time making the list and even though the first half of the year had too few posts Miku will probably end up at about the sixth position as her six posts of the year have all been so superb, a case of quality over quantity.



 The 'Nao Year' ends on November 30th so this will be Miku's final post of that year, her next will be for whatever position she ends up at on the fave's list. Now is when I begin to slow down a bit with doing posts for those who will be making the list, this year a dozen women will be on the list which is two more than 2025. I try to make those list posts larger than others and have as many new photos as possible so start to save those up right around now but a few who will make the list will still have a couple of posts coming up. Last year not one current member of the three '46' groups made the fave's list which was a first though three graduates made the cut. But things are back to normal as Miku will be on the list and one current Nogi gal, think three graduates again will be in the top dozen.



 Too often in the past the activities for an Idol drop off drastically after they release a photobook which I am praying doesn't happen with Miku. Am a bit surprised her second book wasn't a graduation one and of all the Hina members, past and present, to me she has the opportunity of having the most successful solo career of them all! But have noticed over the years Miku doesn't always crave the spotlight and perhaps she's still with Hina for she doesn't know what kind of career she wants to have. In a way bet she wouldn't mind being a college professor as she does have a degree. I've seen a few "Aimashou" shows where Miku was a 'teacher' and she seems like a natural at doing that but would too many students be gaping at her instead of paying attention to her lessons?



 That picture right above is from Miku's Triangle pictorial, two other Hina members were in that book/magazine which came out three times a year. That was a fabulous set of pics so you could say her new photobook is #2.5 and let's finally get to the main portions of the post. Have about 55 new photos for today and some terrific semi-oldish ones so once again this will be a memorable Miku post! First up is this smallish set of Hina group cards which are their first since June, their cards often seem to come out months after the fact.








 Have a few other Hina cards which are older ones for their "Mysterious Library" web game. Which I think ended a year ago but to me these were the group's best cards and not positive on this thought but bet fans play the '46' web games much less than they once did.











 Back to brand new pics and this sparkling next set features Miku's latest IG photos, have been noticing how fantastic her photos are compared to years ago though those were superb also! My favorite is the top one from Halloween and there's also a few of her promoting photobook #2.














 To promote the photobook Miku did quite a few interviews, had one in her last post and here's another which was with the My Navi site. The pictures below are from the interview and also have the link to it, Miku traveled to Vienna for the photo shoot: My Navi site









 Miku is now a model for the Voce site but has had so few modeling pictures for them the last two months so will have none for today. Those pics look mighty fine but to me Miku's ones for the Bis magazine were much better plus there were so many more. She left them about a year ago and here's some terrific golden photos from their site.











 No new magazine spreads for today but hope to have one for her next post. So let's go back exactly three years for this set from the November 22, 2023 issue of Weekly Shonen, Miku's been their cover girl at least a dozen times.










 Have two more sections that will feature pictures from Miku's second photobook "Kibi" which was released on October 20th. Below are some advance photos that you've seen before but are so sweltering they deserve many encore viewings.... publishers of dictionaries may have to come up with new words to describe how Miku looked in the book because overly perfect may not be good enough....











 For the finale will have ten more pics which are all new for here and are from the actual book. One of my earliest rules here was to not post an Idol book until three months have passed since it's release date as not to affect sales which has worked as I've never received any warnings from Blogger. Which means February 1st is when the post for the book will be done and will be surprised if it's not the #1 most viewed post for 2027. There are so many alluring photos it's almost impossible to pick out a favorite and Miku truly left me speechless!!!! What's shocking is that after two weeks the book has sold only 38,000 copies and sales these days are much lower than they once were, X-Mas isn't too far away so that may help sales. Hina has their own YT channel for members to upload personal videos, Miku's latest was from two weeks ago when she went shopping for a new camera. That subbed video is after these sizzling pictures, Miku did get her college degree in photography and wonder how Miku would fare being the photographer for other Hina books?!
