Nao Kanzaki: 'Top Twenty Faves for 2019'- the FINAL preliminary edition part two, positions ten to one



 Kazusa is someone else who dropped off the list but she's a person who could easily re-enter it. She's had some truly magnificent spreads this year but have kind of got bored with them, really wish she would do a few other activities and at one time she was everywhere. This is the final post for this monthly series leading up to this year's top twenty faves list and it should start in three or so weeks.
 To me the top fourteen faves are easy to do as for the most part they're set and it's just a matter of where they're positioned. But the last six spots are much more difficult as there's about twelve or so who are eligible for those positions and possibly there may be four more. But that's okay as this year's top twenty may be the best to date quality wise though it's a shame a few more of my other huge faves didn't qualify. Erika just may top that list but she's had only three posts all year and one was for her breathtaking photobook.
 Just wanted to add in quickly you may not see as many posts for the top twenty gals. Like to save their new pics for their position posts, these top ten gals I can continue to post about for another month but that won't be the case for those from eleven to twenty.



 #10.... Hinako Sakurai, 14th on the previous list

 Bet this selection may surprise a few viewers but remember this isn't the final list. Hinako this year has become such a huge fave of mine and to me is the most kawaii girl on the planet. Do have a small new mag spread for her and she also has a new film coming out in a few weeks in which she has the lead role in so she may have a pair of posts coming up.




#9.... Mai Shiraishi, seventh on the last list

 This has to be Mai's quietest year ever. Have been wanting to do many a post for her but there's been virtually nothing the past two months save for one event. But of any fave here she has the most potential to move up a few spots but then again it means those above her would move down.

EDIT: Wrote this up two days ago and nothing has changed for anyone. Except for what I said above for there is a new solo post for her which is right below this one.




 #8.... Haruka Fukuhara, ninth on the previous list

 Another person where I can't give a good reason on why their position changed. Haven't done a post for Haruka in about a month but seems I like her more these days than ever. Her current drama "Cheat" has still only had one episode subbed and I'm dying to view it. She looks terrific in the show and she just may have the most attractive face of anyone on the list. Her 'Kakegurui" movie is now out and subbed so will be doing a review of it soon.




 #7.... Tsubasa Honda, fourth on the last list

 Here's such a mega fave who has dropped and like the above person is starring in the 'Cheat" drama. But I've only done one post for Tsubasa in the past 2 1/2 months and it's extremely rare for her to disappear like that. She hasn't entirely disappeared as of course she's starring in that show and has had a few other modeling pics but that's been it though do expect her to come back strongly.




 #6.... Bae Suzy, drop of one spot

 Dropped one spot but it wasn't her fault as two faves have really zoomed up. Suzy still has an excellent chance to move back up to fifth as the next two months seem to be busier ones for Korean actresses with all of their award shows. Beginning of the year had her pegged for the third spot which won't happen but never thought number's one and four would have been on the list.




 #5.... Rika Izumi, moved up one spot from last time

 Not much more I can add in about Rika who isn't far from being my #1 of all time and without a doubt is the hottest woman to ever grace the face of this planet. Have done about three posts for her in the past month and she's one of four faves on the list who are thirty years or older.




 #4.... Misato Ugaki, 13th(!) on the last list

 Massive jump of nine positions and it was well deserved. Have mentioned a few times I should have begun posting about Misato earlier but she was a full time announcer for TBS until April so she wasn't nearly as busy with modeling or attending events back then as she is now. It's possible she could move up one more spot and for now would say she's the favorite to be next year's #1.




#3.... Marie Iitoyo, first on the previous two lists

 Drop of two spots and I could almost see it coming. While Marie will end up with more posts this year than any other fave have to guiltily admit I've kind of become bored with her pics. She'll be turning 22 very soon but has been dressing like someone who is in their fifties, really wish she would either vamp it up a bit or dress very elegantly. It's not a knock on her as she just still may be my number one fave on the list but while she has been very busy all year her activities aren't as interesting as they once were.




 #2.... Risa Watanabe, same position three lists in a row

 Haven't done a post for her in a while though there could be a pair of them coming up. The odds are a bit slim but to me Risa still has a shot at taking the top spot, there's no way she'll finish lower than second. Been a bit of a slow stretch for her but then again that's been the case for most Keya members as there's been so few group activities for quite a long period which does affect an Idol. Beginning of the year did pick her to finish in her current position, only one I may be correct about.



 #1.... Minami Tanaka, third on the last list

 Like someone else on the list there's really nothing new to add in as she's had so many posts since the beginning of September. Just can't wait for Minami's photobook which is coming out in December and with that it'll make #2's job so much more difficult to move up. Whoever in the top five finishes first will set a record for being the oldest or youngest, seems there's more younger gals than ever on the list but then again there's more 27 or older on this list than any other year.
