Erina Mano: A little of this and that....



 Erina is a prime example of when a huge fave of mine has an extremely quiet year. She finished 8th on the 2016 top twenty list but yet didn't make the cut for 2017 as it was by far her least busy year ever. Erina is 27 now and really hadn't had much of a break in about a decade so she was no doubt due for a year of kicking back and resting. Hasn't been an entirely quiet year as she was in a drama and two movies but only one of them since April plus just two mag spreads in that stretch too.
 Often talk about having an all time list, could be for everyone or just for Idols. Wouldn't matter either way for Erina as she would finish way up on both lists and would think top five on both lists. Doesn't seem like there's been many posts for her but think this is her 50th one, that's actually very impressive as for most Idols they have the big advantage of being in group posts.



 The world really needs another Erina photobook, she's had about ten to date and to me her books have been the best since her first one was released in 2009. Not many new activities this year though do have over fifty new pics. Erina has had a Line Blog since July 2016 and does an excellent job at keeping it updated. Way too many pics are there from the last few months to post them all but here are some with the second and third being my faves.















 Erina also does promo work for ProStyle, some pics from their site.






 Did do a pair of Erina posts earlier this year which had a few mag spreads but not all that many. Just have two more for 2017 and like everything else about Erina we need more. Going back many months as this is from the April 6th Tokyo Walker Plus.















 Brand new pics here which are from the December 12th issue of Flash.





 Erina is in a new film that was just released on November 25th titled "Fukumenkei Noizu". She doesn't have the lead role in the film unlike her 'Patlabor' movies but it's a fairly big part. Pics here are from an interview she did with the film for Hustle Press.







 The movie naturally had a premiere in November 25th, the event took place at the Shinjuku Picadilly and have plenty of pics here from it. Ayami Nakajo has the lead role in the film and she's had some posts here but not many. Do like her quite a bit so will be doing one soon of her at the premiere along with some other recent happenings. There are some videos for the event but thought a better one to view would be a behind the scenes one for Erina's last PB which came out a year ago and was called "Escalation", actually all of her photobook videos are worth many views.
