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

 


 Have used that post title for Miyuki 😍 more than any other woman and of course the reason for that is because it's so darn true! After finishing the post below this one yesterday for some reason couldn't get Miyuki out of my mind, thought my thoughts meant her Spirit was telling me to do this post and I can never get tired of these. However there aren't a lot of new photos and 2026 has been kind of a slowish year for Miyuki but do have some ancient pictures which are new for here plus many other oldies but goldies which may have never been seen by some viewers or forgotten about my others. I don't care if I've viewed a Miyuki 😍 photo 5,000 times as at times they look better than ever.... like she always does!!!!



 It may seem hard to believe which is that this is Miyuki's eighth post of the year, one has been done for her every six weeks yet it seems the gaps are much larger than that. Even with so many posts it'll be a hit or miss if Miyuki will make the yearly faves list again. The problem is there's so many older photos in these posts and not enough new ones, that doesn't bother me or I'm sure many of you viewers. But the list is for what a woman has done for a year such as 2026, Miyuki has had a few periods of being busy but overall she's done much less than she has the last 3-4 years. Miyuki did hit the age of 33 on September 19th but don't think that has anything to do with her being less busy, just noticed that four women I like so much all have a birthday on that date!



 While it's always nice to finish high on my yearly faves list so they can boast about that to their fellow (ex)Idols(!) what's even more magnificent is how high a woman is on the 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list. The second one was completed in September 2022, to the surprise of many(?) Miyuki finished in the third position! She's someone who never has outstanding years but has been consistently busy for over a decade and that does mean a lot to me. Am planning on doing the third list next April so it'll be close to five years since the other one was done, of course there will be many changes. But as far as Miyuki goes the only change will be dropping one spot to fourth which is still mighty impressive to me. April is five months away so if she can amp up her activities until then there is a chance she just may finish in the third position as again.



 Have a little bit of many things for today, wish there were many more newer photos but bet most older ones will be new for those reading this post. The only recent photos is this batch from Miyuki's IG page and at 33 in age she still eclipses 99.99% of the women in this world!!!! In the past have noticed the Autumn and Winter seasons are Miyuki's busiest though that wasn't the case last year so hope she's reading this and it'll spur her into action! The top five were from the last week of September and was hoping they were outtakes from a photo shoot which wasn't the case but it did give me the thought of featuring Miyuki in Kimonos for her next post.












 Miyuki did do some modeling earlier this year for Apuweiser/Rirandture, was hoping there would be some pics for their Autumn collection which didn't happen. Below are some pics from their site, most have been in prior posts but four are new for here.














 Can't have a post for an ex J-Pop Idol without featuring older group cards and most of these had never been posted before. But don't have many of those left for Miyuki wasn't with NMB all that long, it's now been over a decade since she graduated. Back in the mid 2010's they were one of my fave J-Pop groups and their singles were very underrated but I thought they were all superb, once Miyuki and a few others left my interest in them waned..... though of course there was Miru! These are monthly cards for November and after this batch is yet another set of cards.
















 There are a huge amount of cards that haven't been posted because they were never part of a regular series and wasn't sure how to classify them but they really don't need to be. This set is all from 2013 which has cards for Miyuki's mag spreads, NMB singles and a few other oddball ones so these you'll be seeing in future posts for her and also other ex-Idols.
























 Miyuki tends to remain in the Osaka area for her activities, that's where she's from and where NMB is based, very rarely does she travel to Tokyo for jobs or whatever. That could be one reason for the lack of new photos and she does appear at most of those large Osaka fashion shows but there are none over the Winter months. Let's go way, way, way back in time with this next ancient set of pictures which are from fourteen years ago! Miyuki was the cover girl for the November 22, 2012 issue of Young Jump, that's when her first photobook was released but this spread wasn't promoting it.









 Have one other golden oldie Miyuki magazine spread that's from Young Champion and their August 11, 2020 edition. I could be wrong but think this may have been Miyuki's last time as a cover girl, she had that honor for another 2020 issue with the magazine.











 This is Miyuki's 67th post, at her current pace of having 5-8 a year it'd mean she'd hit a hundred around in the Summer of 2031 and would love to see that happen. But will Miyuki still be active in show biz five years from now as she'd be 38 in age, another question is will I still be doing this blog in 2031???? For the finale have some pictures and the link to Miyuki's third photobook "Miyuki desu" which was released on August 23, 2019 and that was a month before her 26th birthday. To me this is her top book and is right around being my tenth favorite one of all time, considering how many hundreds that have been posted tenth place is quite a feat! After some of the book's photos is a video from her YT channel, this one is two years old. It featured Miyuki on a golf and sauna trip, she's uploaded four in the past seven weeks though will admit too many are not overly exciting....
