Miori Takimoto: Has she finally risen from her grave....?

 Two years ago Miori was just oh so close to taking the top spot on my top ten list.... and then just like she became a semi-exile! True she has done things with her band Lagoon but besides that there's been so little happening with her. Bet a lot of her fans wonder why she's kind of disappeared, she really was on the verge of becoming such a huge star then stepped back when it was within reach. This is her first post for new happenings this year but think there may be another one this month, many of us are hoping there is.
 Can't give a reason why she became a bit reclusive, maybe she just got tired of everything as between 2011-2014 there may not have been a busier actress. Miori was getting the leads in her dramas but since she cut way back on her activities she's had mostly supporting roles. However it looks like she's going to have her first lead in a while as she'll be starring in a drama titled "Botchan". That series will be airing on NHK-BS with a start date of June 22nd, on May 30th she was at a press conference for the drama and at least to me she looks as good as ever, heard she cut quite a few inches of hair for the role.

 Miori though has still been a co-host of the "Another Sky" show and she's been doing that for a few years now, some superb recent pics from the show's FB page.

 As you may know Miori has been the lead singer of the band Lagoon since late in 2014. To date they've had four singles, none of them have been huge hits but have done well enough topping out around the 30th spot on the charts. The band released their first mini album today which is titled "Bokutachi no Mainichi ga Eien ni Naru" aka Our Every Day Will Be Forever". Their PV's are easy enough to obtain but the videos on YT are always restricted to viewers outside of Japan.
 Have a few pics here from the album along with some concert pics. Perhaps being in a band is one reason Miori has been so quiet these last two years but still baffles me why she would sort of throw away such a promising acting career for a semi-popular musical career. Their songs do sound good though, kind of a rock/pop sound and if you get the chance to listen or view their tunes then think you'd enjoy them.

Miori Takimoto: November 2015 happenings

Still keyboard problems but hate going too long between posts, sure a few of you are missing those daily posts. Once the problem is solved there's going to be quite a few new posts, though I've done many posts this week there's quite a few other things I need to get to. Plus I can't type as much detail as I would like, most everything written is from memory or some notes I took. Did experiment around a bit but having a hard time changing the white background, that'll be back to normal once I can type on my computer again but until that happens when you copy something over to Blogger you end up with the white background.

Haven't heard hardly anything from Miori for some months now, the above is the cover of Lagoon's third single "Rhapsody in White" which just came out today. Wanted to put a video of the song here but couldn't view it as I live outside of Japan. Here's a few screenshots though from the PV, perhaps someone could help out again as far as providing a link to the video.

 Miori is still a co-host of Friday night's "Another Sky" show, some recent pics from their FB page.

 Been a while since her last drama but Miori will be in a short one starting on November 24th called "Watashi mo Mitsukate". It'll be airing at 10:00 pm on NHK, the drama is just going to last four episodes. Here's some Miori pics from two screenings they've had this week for the series.
