Nao Kanzaki: Nao's 'Top Twenty of All Time Faves' list.... #11!!!!

 Think this may be one of the top posts for the series, not just for the list but perhaps one of the better ones I've done in a while. At first placed Misa in the ninth position, but after some reflecting realized there was no way the original eleventh position person should be there as she deserved to be in the top ten so switched their spots. Actually the one in ninth may move up to eighth, the top seven are all set but the next four were a bit more difficult to seed.
 Being in the eleventh spot is quite an honor though, means only ten gals in the whole of Japan topped her. May be hard to believe but Misa is the highest rated current Idol on the list, there's a few in the top ten who once were Idols but no longer are. Had I made this a 'woman you want to marry' list then Misa just may have topped it or come awful close. She really has it together and is such a smart woman, if she didn't become an Idol she said either being an accountant or bookkeeper would have been her future job.
 She did help write a book two years ago about bookkeeping, wonder if being an office worker is something she'll be doing when she's in her forties? Misa is also a superb cook, remember watching a 'Bingo' episode where she was on a team called 'M', the trio's first names all began with the letter. She shocked everyone with her culinary skills, so many Idols seem to be so empty upstairs but this is one person you can't say that about. At the top of the post are two breathtaking pics which may be my two faves from her, also there's a newish CM that came out in July for Wave Corporation.

 Misa is a first generation Nogi member, she'll be turning 26 in January. Bit surprised we haven't seen more of the older members graduate, there's been a few recent ones but most have been younger gals. Still think it's a mistake to leave a group unless you have something better to fall back on and it's rarely been the case where that happens.
 Have a lot of so many things today, some are older but there ended up being so many newer things than I expected. Misa at one time used to host a pair of radio shows, she's now down to one that airs on Saturdays which is called 'Juggler', pics here are from a pair of August shows.

 Never as many cards as a few other members but have a few from July which are followed by some new ones for the 'Nogi Koi' app game.

 Misa's long time goal was to be a popular Idol and think she's accomplished that feat. Before Nogi she was in the short lived group CHIMO which consisted of gals from her hometown of Oita. She also was the first member to have a photobook which was released before Nogi was officially a group, few pics from it here and she's definitely changed a bit in seven years. There was also another huge collection for Sabra, few of those pics are included here.

 Four members of Nogi have a new CM out now for Ai Pet Insurance, name of the campaign is 'Dog, Cat and Nogizaka46' and these are some promo pics for the campaign. Won't have the videos today but will have at least one in the next group post.

 Have to love someone who enjoys Nao's favorite pastime....

 Misa is an exclusive model for the Bijin Hyakka mag, she'll be representing them at two fashion shows coming up. The first will be the 'Girls Awards' show which takes place in two weekends, after that on October 6th she'll be in attendance at the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show.

 Even more oldie pics, these are from two sets for Natalie's 'Power Push' series that came out in 2013.

 Leaving a few newer things out as I'd like to have another huge Misa solo post very soon. One thing that is being saved is her appearance in the October issue of Bubka, these are pics from the photo shoot and not sure if your hearts could have taken many more pics like these....

 On to a pair of mag spreads, mentioned she's an exclusive model for Bijin Hyakka and she has the cover for their September edition.

 This next huge set is from the September issue of UTB. Posted the spread about a month ago but it's one of the top sets for this year so thought it deserved an encore viewing.

 Misa is just such a knockout to me, know there are many others who may be a bit more voluptuous but very few if any can touch her sultriness. Will end off with some beyond scintillating pics and not sure what the reason is but have more pics of her on my computer than anyone else. After these examples of perfection check out a real oldie video for 'Miss Magazine' from 2011 when Misa was eighteen and it was just prior to her joining Nogi.
