Nao Kanzaki: The dozen most popular posts for the first half of 2023....

 


 About ten days late with this post and to be honest had completely forgotten about this list. No big deal though as it allowed the posts to garner a few more views. Simple enough theme to this, it's what are the dozen most viewed posts since the 'Nao Year' began on December 1st? I just compiled the stats, did that two days ago, and it's actually a list of the posts you viewers checked out the most for the first half of the year. Above is Miku and she's such a fave of mine and you viewers too, she's been quiet with only one post the last 2 1/2 months. Figured the post done in February for her photobook would have made the list but it wasn't even close as it's just the 17th most viewed post to date.



 No Yui in the top dozen either, thought her photobook post may have had a chance. However she did have three posts that finished between the 15th and 24th positions so that's impressive and hope to have a post for her tomorrow. These lists aren't difficult to create but are a bit time consuming though I enjoy doing them and seems viewers like reading these kinds of posts. Can't think of any that haven't been done so if you want to make a suggestion go right ahead. One list that's never been done is for my top Nogi photobooks and would probably make that a dozen also, think 45 or so of their books have been posted. But if I add in the other two '46' groups that means there would be over sixty to choose from, let me mull over that for a while. 



 This list are for the posts done between December 1st and May 31st, only ine in May made the list as there hasn't been enough time for most posts to accumulate views.. When the post for the overall year is done also include posts that were done prior to 2023 and last year a 2021 post was #1! That was for Kyoko's photobook post done in July 2021, it was also number one for that year and that's her above. The book won't accomplish a hat trick this year but expect that post to be in the top five for most views. On to the dozen most viewed posts to date, will go from twelfth to first to keep the suspense up. Will have the post title, how many views it's received so far, date it was done, some pics from it and also a link to the post. Of course photobooks dominated the list but four regular posts made the cut, the top two most viewed posts were much higher than the ones on last year's list.

#12.... Miru Shiroma, her "Re:Born" photobook post done on May 7th has 1,428 views

 This is her second photobook, solid set of pics but very few books compare to her first one "Love Rush". That's one of the most popular posts ever here as it has around 20,000 views. Miru did release her third photobook a month ago and it wasn't that big of a seller or least compared to her first one as there was so little promoting done for it. 






 #11.... Miyu Murashima's December 24th post 'A little bit...' has 1,468 views to date

 Last year Miyu was easily the most popular woman here with you viewers and bet she has an excellent chance at retaining that honor for 2023. All her posts draw such a high amount of views so kind shocked this has been her most popular one of the year, it's a solid post but think she's had a few better ones. 






 #10.... Rika Yukihira has had 1,496 views to date for her December 20th post

 The top two most popular woman from 2022 are back to back on this list and like the above thought Risa had a few other posts that were better. It's true that posts done in December have an advantage over ones say done in April as they had so much more time to garner views, seven posts from December made the list. However the next dozen positions, 13-24, are dominated by posts done since March and by the end of the year the view counts will even out.






 #9.... Kyoko Saito's "White Graph" post done on December 8th has 1,504 views

 These 'White Graph' books aren't regular large photobooks as the main woman featured usually has 50 or so pics, this one had 55. These first four positions were very close as only 78 views separated them. I'm glad to see this post make the top ten as to me this was one underrated set of photos and if the posts for Kyoko could somehow increase she'd end up being my #1 fave of the year... in all honesty every year!!!!






 #8.... Hina Higuchi has had 1,560 views for her January 30th photobook post

 There were two nice surprises that made the list and both were deserving, number five is the other post. I kind of miss Hina and some of the other less popular first/second generation Nogi members as to me they were the 'glue' of the group plus were the most interesting of the group. Think a lot of fans may agree with me that she had the most underrated figure of any Nogi gal and perhaps the best one!






 #7.... Miku Kanemura has had 1,661 views for her December 20th 'legendary 11th post'

 This was a bit of a surprise that she's the only woman to have two posts make the top twelve though would think this and perhaps a few others will be passed by the end of the year. This post had many things promoting her first photobook and that will be high on my list for fave 2023 books. Miku will also be very high on the yearly faves list and in a post done for her just a few days ago said as of right now she's my #1 of the year!!!!






 #6... Rena Moriya's "Egao no Guu, Coki, Paa" PB post done March 13th has 2,018 views

 That's a high amount of views for 3 1/2 months though will admit thought it would be higher and it deserves so! Plus Rena is immensely popular with you viewers and what a terrific set of pics are in this book, still has six months to creep up a few more spots. It's been tough doing recent solo posts for her but think one can be done this month, will also have a Keya group post in a few days.






 #5... Sumire Uesaka's "Sumire no Yume" post done on March 3rd has 2,020 views

 This was the closest battle as only two views separated fifth and sixth plus this was the nicest surprise of all the positions. Sumire is a voice actress and is the oldest woman to make the list as she's 31 in age. I like her so much and that goes double with you viewers, wish there could be more posts for her but they've never been easy to do for voice actresses. 






 #4... Ema Ito has had 2,155 views for her December 3rd "Soleil" PB post

 Oooops, made a mistake as this is the biggest surprise of all twelve posts to make the list! Ema was introduced last Autumn and she's someone I've really liked since the first second I saw her! However she's like so many others that were introduced at the end of last year or the first two months of 2023. Which is that they've 'semi disappeared' over the last 3-4 months and it's so odd many have gone AWOL at the same time, that by far is the biggest reason for the drop in posts the last few months.






 #3.... Miku Kanemura's "Rashiban" PB post done on April 3rd has 2,360 views

 Four posts done after March 1st did make the list so even though they're recent if the posts are fabulous then they can amass a lot of views in a short amount of time. Not much more I can say about Miku who had two posts in June and has the second most since December 1st. To me this is one ultra terrific photobook and it's in the battle for being my #1 from any Hina member. Speaking of them do have a pair of new books which are both tremendous and you'll be seeing them soon enough.... that bottom photo will always leave me speechless, gulp....






 #2.... Haruka Kaki has had 3,310 views to date for her December 5th "Massara" PB post

 This was Haruka's first ever post and am I glad she finally was introduced here. She's fast become such a huge fave of mine and with you viewers too as all her posts have been very popular. Nothing to add in about her as she's had two posts done in the last three weeks. Did mention about possibly doing a list for my all time fave Nogi books and this would easily make the top ten. My prediction of this being #1 was way off and I still think she looks so much like Erika Toda which is a high compliment!








 #1.... Haruka Kodama's December 4th post 'Another batch....' has had 7,598 views to date!

 This post was one I had completely forgotten about and it was no contest on which post has been number one, it has such a lead it should be #1 for the entire year. This post had many things for Haruka's second photobook that came out near the end of November. It's been her last post to date and where has she disappeared to as she's the most popular woman with you viewers. Still haven't posted that book yet though I've had it for six months, the problem is the photos are too steamy! There's a lot of see-through pics which did surprise me plus so many other photos will leave you gasping for air! But do promise to have the book and now that I'm thinking about perhaps this month.
