Nao Kanzaki: Nao's 'Top Twenty of All Time Faves' list.... #12!!!!
After gaping at so many Yui pics today think she may have deserved to be a bit higher, she's definitely the #1 gravure model of all time. Like a few others on the list the past few years haven't been busy ones for Yui, she still does some activities but has slowed way down on them since she got married in 2015 and about a year later she had her first child.
Yui is now 32 but has been around since she was fourteen, besides being such a fabulous model she's also been very busy as an actress. Not many leading roles but a few, she did have the lead in the "Forbidden Siren" horror film which I thought was quite good. Have seen Yui in nine dramas and eight films, I always thought she was a solid actress who for some reason wasn't more popular than she should have been.
Think the days of Yui doing gravure spreads has ended. that's such a shame as no one can top her pics. Though Yui just has about forty posts all probably have fifty or more pics so she's has well over 1,500 pics by now. No new spreads or photobooks to share today but do have many jaw-dropping pics and perhaps there are some out there who have never heard of her.
Though Yui's acting has slowed way down she's still a bit busy, no films this year but she was in three of them in 2017. One was titled "Gukoroku: Traces of Sin" which had it's premiere on February 18th of last year.
Another film from last year was "Alley Cat", it opened on July 15th but these are pics from a screening held on June 23rd and the bottom pics are from a Mantan Web interview.
Yui definitely shocked all of us fans when she disrobed in the 2014 film "Umi wo Kanjiru Toki". Think she's the only one on the top twenty list to have done something like that though #11 has come oh so close. Naturally she looked tremendous in those film and was surprised she doffed her clothes in at least five scenes. Can't post the pics but though she looked fabulous it appeared to me she lost a little too much weight for the film, she's always been a thin person. Pics here are from the film's premiere along with a few from the movie which was an okay watch though it was way too depressing.
Yui had tempted us so many times before the film came out, especially in her 2012 photobook "Origine" which is such an amazing set of pics.
Yui had an even more impressive PB that came out in 2015 titled simply "Yui", highly recommend reading the posts for this and the above book. Also have at least four other of her books plus many more huge collections such as five from 'NS Eyes'.
It's impossible to have a greatest hits for Yui's pics, she must have at least two thousand of them which merit a rating of ten or perhaps even higher. Do have a few incredible ones for all to savor, she also has an incredible amount of terrific videos on YT and have one after the pics.

Figured out how I'm gonna do my one and that is to split it so once your #11 is done then I'll put my #11~#20 on then the rest on the #1. So this is pretty much my 'preliminary post' and it took a decade just to put it together but here goes. No gravure idols on my list(kinda) but if there was about 1000 more shots of them then they would’ve made it. Was gonna have a link to my fave pic for each of them but there’s really too many to choose from so might just leave a link here and there of stuff. One little factor that came into play was the time I spent searching for stuff with them in it so shows, music, etc. It was hard to pick 20 names because I would confuse myself with a ‘fave’ to an ‘all time fave’ so really it’s “who do I like more than #19” or so. Just gonna name about 20(outta the 1000) of them that didn’t make the list due to just being outplayed or taking forever to come up with a decision to put em on the list or not:

-Mai Oshima – 2 PBs have been released so far but what’s this, WHAT’S THIS!!!? ANOTHER ONE!!! September 10th !! 8 years since the 2nd one and what a surprise. Now after seeing some of the shots, if this were to continue then I could see her going on the list. Guess she’s sorta busy these days but as a somewhat frequent TV face, nothing of great importance like dramas, movies, pics…UNTIL THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE 3RD PB!!!
Few shots from the 3rd PB:
