Nao Kanzaki: Nao's 'Top Twenty of All Time Faves' list.... #7!!!!



 That bottom pic is by far my #1 of all time, have you ever seen anything so perfect?! Obviously the answer is a big NO and even though the saying is a pic is worth a thousand words for one like that it should change to a pic is worth a (few) thousand fantasies. Really zooming along now with the list, just six more to go and it's good as I may need a bit of time for the top three. Not that there will be a hard time having pics and such for them but have a feeling there's going to be too many, wouldn't doubt if the top three will have over ten combined posts or at least the top two will.


 Seventh place seemed like a solid position for Erina, had serious thoughts about moving her up but think she'll be satisfied where she is. One reason is that not enough of her dramas and films have been subbed, especially the seven film series 'Patlabor'. This should be one of the better posts for pics as there's over twenty new recent ones plus have over thirty older ones for mag spreads that had never been posted before. As a few may know Erina announced her marriage about two months to a soccer player. He's been playing in Spain for a while so it may be a long distance relationship.
 What I'm hoping is that Erina doesn't slow down on her activities and don't think she will as far as dramas and films go. But it's the photobooks that we all want to see her keep doing, she's had eleven or so to date and her last five are truly second to none. As a matter of fact though Erina doesn't have the most pics of anyone don't think any female has as many jaw-dropping pics as she's had in the past five years.



 I don't consider Erina to be a true Idol like someone from AKB, Morning Musume or Nogi would be. She was a member of Hello Project for a few years and did release many singles but her last one came out in 2012 and I consider her to be more of an actress, celeb and model. Even when she was a singer she had been starring in many dramas and films, there is a huge difference between someone who is a solo singer versus a female who is in a group.
 Erina has had a Line blog for many, many years and she does such a superb job at posting pics. These here are all from the past month, on her blog is where she announced her marriage. First few pics are from Morning Musume's 20th anniversary concert that took place in August though the second and third pics are with an ANGERME member and she's someone I've promised a few times that she'd have a solo post which I haven't followed through with yet.











 Speaking of MM it's difficult to beat this pairing....





.... but not impossible as this could be one of the top pairs of all time! Hmmmm, need to stop thinking of new kinds of posts but wonder what duo makes up the best pair? That'll be a hard thing to determine but maybe I'll give it a thought though meanwhile..... whewwww......





 Sigh, it's not Nao in disguise though truly wish it was....


 How about another new happening and this has to deal with one of my all time fave dramas which is "SPEC". Erina wasn't in the series but she was in the four movies and thought her character of Satori was the highlight of a few of the films. 'SPEC' just won't go away as there was a web drama that aired in the Spring and now another series will be beginning.
 But the key to the new series is that Erina will have the lead role in the show and will be reprising her role of Satori. The new drama is titled "SPEC Saga Dawn: Satori's Love" and a few characters from the original series will also be in the new one. It begins on September 28th but the problem is it'll be airing on Paravi which is some sort of video service but the show will be produced by TBS which is the channel the original aired. On September 9th there was a mini event for the show at the TBS headquarters, will be doing another post once more news and a video of the show come out.












 Erina has a good amount of posts, do have all of her photobooks plus all of her mag spreads and other happenings since 2014. But have very few other things before that year so thought I'd have some oldie but goldie mag spreads which had never been posted before. There's many more of them from the years of 2009-13 that I'll post in the future, Erina turned 27 on April 11th so we can go back nine years for her activities. For today have four sets from 2011 when she was nineteen going on twenty and you can definitely see how she's changed in the seven years since then though she looked mighty fine back then. First set is from the March issue of UTB.







 Another UTB spread which is from their April edition.








 Erina hasn't appeared in that many mags the past few years except for when she's promoting a photobook. These next two spreads are doing that for her "Mano Days" PB which came out on June 10th and did post that fine book a few years ago, this set is from the June 24th issue of Friday.






 Another Erina cover for a mag and this is the final one from 2011 for today though as mentioned will have more in the future. This set is from the June 25th edition of Young Gangan and once again it's promoting her new PB.











 As is the format for these posts will end off with many 'greatest hit's pics, Erina honestly has so many how can one figure out which are her best? After the utterly seducing pics check out a video from Young Gangan, it's not for her above spread but from a second one she did for the mag in 2011.
