Marie Iitoyo: Her largest post of the year?!

 


 Wrote this and the next post up yesterday save what ends this post, the other two below this were written up three days ago. So that's the biggest reason you didn't see any posts on Friday(you did though!) as I was also laying the groundwork for a few more posts. The Autumn 'Tokyo Girls Collection' took place today and I'm praying that my huge faves have many pics from it. But even if there wasn't a show today could have done these four posts as there are 55 new pics for this one before the event pics are added in. Think Marie's largest post of the year was in May which featured 67 stupendous pics from the 'Re:Edit' Summer collection, shame there haven't been many pics of from them since then.



 Those are two pics from that May post which is definitely worth checking out. So while there are these 55 new pics before the event ones are added in am holding back over ten modeling ones and a few from a new CM. So that could mean another post for Marie in a week or so and does she have any chance at setting a new record his year? That's for solo posts(non drama ones) and this is her twentieth to date, a 'Nao Year' begins on December 1st. Last year she set a new standard with 26 posts so can she get seven more by the end of November? Hmmmm, that could be tough to do but if anyone can it'd be Marie but my prediction is she'll fall just short or perhaps just tie last year's mark.



 While back began having mini recaps for her Spring drama "Hinekure Onna no Bocchimeshi" which also aired in the Summer on a different network. Have kind of lost hope that the series will be subbed, easy enough to follow but know I've missed too many things. There were eight episodes, screenshots here are from the seventh show and will have the final one in her next post. Marie plays the leading character of Tsugumi who is in her young twenties and works at a dead end job at a convenience store. She's quite an introvert who has no friends and it doesn't appear as though she wants any. Tsugumi has one highlight every few days which is reading a Twitter entry from a man with the user name of White Horse 0515 who goes to obscure restaurants which Tsugumi then also visits, she's his only follower.

 In this show Tsugumi is getting a bit itchy about her job and is it time to quit? Could be but where can such a quiet and meek young woman go next, she's been noticing the older employees at the store and has vowed not to end up like them. But least after her shift there was a new entry from her 'food idol' so it was off to a new restaurant for Tsugumi. She's gone to a variety of places which are off the beaten track and has eaten a different meal at all of them. For the first time Tsugumi partook in eating seafood and did she eat a lot, one reason was that she was shocked at how low the prices were. A show is 23 minutes in length and though unsubbed I've really been enjoying it. Plenty of screenshots here from the seventh show and there's only one more to go, will Tsugmi ever meet her 'food idol' White Horse? To date they have no clue who each other is and that's him in the bottom two screenshots.































 
 Marie is in a new web drama that began on August 30th that ran for five straight nights. It's called "We Are One" and will be getting to that soon, once again  she was in the second show. Two more dramas  are coming up so perhaps that's why we haven't seen much of her lately as she's busy filming. Don't know when it'll be airing or any other details but he third season of 'Kimi to Sekai' is currently filming plus she'll star again in the second season of the mini series "Thus Spoke Rohan". That first season aired last December and that may have been my top show from 2020 as I gave it a rating of 9.1/10. On to more new pics and am holding back modeling ones from the More site for her next post. But Marie always has terrific ones from the Oggi site and these are all from the past two weeks.


















 Actually there was a lot of news about upcoming things so perhaps a new record for posts is within reach. Will stop here until tomorrow and how I hope there's a huge amount of superb pics from the show. Lack of mag spreads this year for her but that's been the case for so many of my faves but Marie is the cover girl for the October issue of Oggi.










 You know that term 'The best laid plans often go astray'? That suits me to a T and if you look up the saying in a dictionary you'll see my unsmiling face! That's because there are no pics from today's 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show as she didn't make an appearance! So I'm totally baffled on what took place or actually what didn't take place, would have bet my life Marie was scheduled to be at the show and have been thinking that way for months. Sadly that's not the case and and I don't know what to say, there is a 'Kansai Collection' show tomorrow but sure she won't be at that. Sigh, know Marie wants to make me feel better(!) but if she takes a wrong turn at Greenland again....


 Oh well, another amusing tidbit for my never to be released autobiography! May as well have a few oldie TGC pics and I was really looking forward to new event ones as she hasn't been at one for five months. So both these mini sets are from 2019 shows, the first six are from their April 20th show while the others are from January 12th.


















 Did say in the beginning Marie's largest post for new pics was in May and it'll stay that way. So will end off with some superb pics from that post which were for the 'Re:Edit' Summer collection. After the pics is an April CM for Nongshim which also has a mini behind the scenes segment.
