Nao's top ten Faves for 2025: Position #6, the flawless and ultra scorching.... Nene Shida
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.
Like the below post began this on Wednesday, the other was done so quickly so perhaps both these will be published a day early. Did say there was a virtual tie for the fifth through seventh spots, couldn't go wrong with whoever filled a position. Originally had Nene penciled into the seventh spot but it's hard to have her so low even though seventh isn't all that low and just making the list is an achievement. As I mentioned in the previous position all three had an extremely super duper first half for 2025 and then all seemed to do so little for about four months, it was odd how they all seemed to take a hiatus at once. Nene had fourteen posts by the end of May and I thought she would threatening to break her record of 26 posts in a year, #1 on the list did tie it. But after May Nene just had three posts in six months for a total of seventeen, that's one huge drop off in posts but no woman has had more than her since December 2020.
Nene has been my all time gravure model for at least three years, of course her alluringness is off the charts but she does many other kinds of activities besides modeling. Which is why she finishes high on these lists and it's her fifth consecutive year making the fave's list. In 2021 Nene just finished in the thirteenth spot which should have been higher, since then her positions have been second, fifth, third and now sixth for an overall average of 5.8 which is so impressive. No gravure model has ever been #1 for a year, Nene was the closest when she finished in the second spot in 2022. As of mid-May she was in the number one spot and if there wasn't such a drop off in posts she just may have been my Queen for 2025! Of course that didn't happen but I still think the world of Nene and after being non-stop busy for over five years bet she just needed to take a breather for a while. There's not as many new photos as other gals on the list but it seems a busy period is about to begin.
In seven months Nene will be hitting the age of 28, her looks are still unbeatable and can see her continuing with gravure modeling for a while even though she does have a college degree. At 167 cm think she's the tallest woman on the list, will have a final post after the countdown is done with some trivial facts and final thoughts. This is also Nene's first post since celebrating her fifth anniversary here, that first post was done in early December 2020 and I don't think any woman has made more of an impact with me than Nene who I may take for granted at times. In eight months will begin on my third 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list and on the previous one Nene was in the seventeenth spot. But that was actually quite impressive as I had just been posting about her for only twenty months, it won't be easy for her but with a very busy 2026 Nene just might give the other two duking it out for number one a run for their money.... should we throw the trio into the ring and say last woman surviving is my number one of all time?!!!!
Have made my return, it's now Friday and wrote the above up on Wednesday. Am feeling a tad better and was able to publish a pair of posts yesterday which I thought would take another day. Let's get to the meat of this post and one thing Nene has always been just so-so at is posting photos at her IG page and have no clue why she doesn't have more. Below is it from the past six weeks and the top was from an October 26th party for those females who had been in a "Kamen Rider" series. Nene was in the 'Geets' show that aired in 2022/23 and that's been her only major TV role to date. But she's had the lead role in the stage play "Kakegi Shoujo!" which has had three different versions/chapters. The last one was staged in November and there are some pics of it below.
Two years ago Nene began as a model for the Kangol site, after a few months there were no more new pics so presumed she had ceased working for them. Not so as Nene has begun to model for them again and below are some newish pics from the site, it's nice to see her clad as a non-Goddess(!) on occasion though she never can get rid of that halo....
On November 15th Nene held an event for her fourth calendar and for the photo shoot she traveled to Hong Kong. She is popular over there and know she's had two fan club events for her fans in the city, mentioned "Kamen Rider" above and that's a popular series in Hong Kong which is the main reason she's so known over there.
This year will make these posts a bit simpler and smaller but all of course will be simply amazing and will end off with a trio of magazine spreads. Two are older and try to include some of those so you can see some reasons why a favorite such as Nene finished so high on the list. First up is this set from the February 14th issue of Friday which featured some outtake pics from her fourth photobook "Cantabile", her books are simply second to no one!!!!
Second beyond perfect mag spread is from the February 17th issue of WPB and no woman has had more or better spreads than she's had since December 2020. Have said I tend to take Nene for granted on occasion, I cannot imagine this blog going on when or if I can no longer do posts for her.
Will end off this sizzling post with a brand new Nene spread as she's the cover girl for the January 1st issue of Big Comic Spirits. She never seems to age a day and it's no lie to say I've run out of superlatives for Nene, after the pics is a video from the photo shoot. This is it for newish mag spreads but think Nene is about to make up for having a slowish second half of 2025. As I said earlier in the post Nene still has a slight shot at being my number one woman of all time when that list begins in the Summer though it may not be easy to climb over the pair who currently rank above her....
