Nao's top ten Faves for 2025: Position #4, the jolly and arousing 𝑵𝒂𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒌𝒐 𝑴𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒕𝒔𝒖𝒌𝒊!!!!

 

 

 Previous Positions: Didn't do official posts for the first two on the list, #10 was Iori and in the ninth spot was Yuzuha. Below are the links to the all of the other positions and getting tougher each year to get more women eligible but the quality for 2025 is as high as ever.

#8, Mai Shinuchi .... #7, Miku T .... #6, Nene .... #5, Ruka Kitano

 This year's faves list has featured a few comebacks from long time favorites and also a pair of unexpected gals who made the top five! As far as comebacks go add Nashiko's name to that list as she hadn't made the cut the previous two years after making the top eleven three consecutive years from 2020-22. Nashiko did qualify for the fave's list the last two years and has the longest streak ever as this makes it eight straight years with at least eight posts. But beginning in 2022 a negative trait arose though at the end of the year did have as many posts as usual. The trait was that her activities for over a two year stretch came in bunches, I could do 3-4 posts for her in a two month period and then have zero the next two months. So while Nashiko still had many posts at the end of the year how they came to be were so inconsistent and that does matter here. A woman who has one post a month for all twelve in a year will make the favorite's list, someone who has three posts in one month and then zero the next two are often outside looking in....

 EDIT: Was going to publish this tomorrow but decided why not do it now plus I may need a bit of extra time. The first five posts in the countdown have gone well but the women for the next two positions have been a bit too quiet over the last month and have very few new things for them. So need that time to work on those two posts and because of that may not be around tomorrow, the goal is still to wrap this up by Christmas Eve and should be able to do that.

 This year has been a return to normalcy for Nashiko as her posts were done on a much more consistent basis and overall I think the posts were her best ones in years. Nashiko has become sort of a 'Respected Elder' among her peers who would consist of gravure models and cosplayers, have noticed she's been doing that activity much more for her 2025 magazine spreads. Back on November 8th she hit the age of thirty, four of this year's top eight are that age or older. For a while, say in 2023/24, didn't seem to me that Nashiko's heart was into doing gravure modeling and a few of her many other activities, she had been non-stop busy since 2018. But in the last year seems she's recharged her batteries and Nashiko is on such a terrific roll as of late which I don't see slowing down for a while. She has a large role in a drama that will be starting in January plus has at least a quartet of magazine spreads coming out in the next month so these posts for her should be going on for a while. Fourteen posts were done for Nashiko in 2025 which I think may have been her high for a year, since August 2018 she's averaged a post per month and that's a one of a kind pace!

 This is Nashiko's second time making the top five, in 2021 she was in the third position. She also finished in the ninth and eleventh spots two other years, no gravure model has ever been #1 for a year. Of course gravure modeling has been Nashiko's main activity over the last eight years but her acting career is going well, she does regular modeling also, still does cosplaying on occasion and has such a terrific YT Vlog. That's why Nashiko has finished high on the fave's list four times and when the second "Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list was done in the Summer of 2022 she squeezed on by making it to position #20. But since then she has moved up, perhaps as high as the twelfth spot and Nashiko is also my second favorite gravure model of all time so she's had a lot of honors here, my all time number one model was in the sixth position. This should be a large post but I am slightly worried about the next two spots as those gals have been a bit quiet for over a month. Have two newish magazine spreads, encores of a pair from earlier this year plus will end off with her latest digital book, her final one before hitting the age of thirty.

 Not a lot of recent activities but do have a high amount of photos for today and am trying to wrap this up quickly as the next two spots may take a bit of work. First up are these newish pics from Nashiko's IG page, the top one is from two months ago and of course had to have it again as she's with this year's #1 woman! Both are huge fans of Mahjong and you will also notice a few pics of Nashiko with one of her passions, Pokemon. She entered a team tournament ten days ago in Nagasaki and won the first three rounds but got knocked out in the fourth.

 The second pic above is from her new drama that begins on January 8th, there's also two modeling photos for an upcoming magazine spread. Tis the season and of course it's a requirement here to have some Nashiko X-Mas pics but as a cosplayer her favorite time of the year may be Halloween.

 Plenty more to this post as will have four magazine spreads and a new digital book. First up for spreads is this set from the April 29th issue of Flash, I try to have older photos from earlier in the year so you can see why someone like Nashiko finished so high on the list.

 Even though Nashiko is now thirty in age she still graces the covers for most magazines she appears in. So many gravure models come and go but not her, gals a decade younger should emulate Nashiko and this second spread is from the November 3rd issue of Young Magazine. 

 That was her final spread as a 29 year old, this is Nashiko's first set since turning thirty and is from the December edition of Gekkan Young Magazine. So far the positions in the list have all been superb but the only gals to make the top ten were ex-Idols or gravure models. No regular or voice actresses made the cut nor did any current J-Pop Idols, that had never happened before.

 Of course the photo shoot for the above spread took place when she was still 29 in age. Final magazine spread for today is from the October 17th issue of Young Gangan and was promoting the digital book. Nashiko as usual was the cover girl and many of her spreads this year did feature her doing some cosplaying.

 "Lat Collaboration" was the title for this October 3rd book published by the Young Gangan magazine, there was one other book that came out before birthday #30. This book contains 61 photos and after two years of having so few books Nashiko must have had a dozen in 2025. After the pics is a video Nashiko uploaded to her YT channel from the photo shoot, she has so many sweltering videos which I highly recommend and it could take you days to view them all.... and you still wouldn't be tired of them!
