Nao Kanzaki: Top fourteen faves for 2019 by post average- part one positions seven to one

 Now on to the top seven which was determined by you viewers and which faves of yours had the highest average for their posts. As explained in the first post to be eligible was a simple feat, you just needed six solo posts from December 1st until November 30th. There was a total of 31 eligible but sadly not Erika who had only four posts for the year. Had she qualified she would have been #1 by a wide margin which was the case for the first list covering the years 2016 to 2018. Seems after she released her massively successful "Intermission" photobook she disappeared for most of the year, she still does many stage plays but not nearly as many Nogi activities as she once did.
 Of my top twenty list nine are among the most fourteen most popular gals here, truly didn't think the number would be that high. The positions will be the same as they were in the first post with their position, average amount of views, a random post and a few pics. There were two others who I figured had a good chance on making the list, they're both popular but guess not as much as I thought they were, those two are Mio and Ayaka whose average was shockingly only 424.

 Quick tidbit I noticed after these posts were done. That's of the ages of the fourteen who made the list, the higher the position the younger your faves became as only one of the top seven is 27 or older though two are 25 in age.

 #7    Kazusa Okuyama, 686 average for eight posts

Post from March 9th: Kazusa

 Kazusa has remained a huge fave of many since she was introduced back in March 2018 and I almost forgot to figure out what her average was. She's still a big fave of mine but missed making this year's top twenty list as she's really only done gravure spreads for this year. Not that there's anything wrong with that but wish she would do a bit more variety of activities, think she may have a post coming up very soon.

 #6    Mariya Nagao, seven posts that averaged 716

First post of the year from February: Mariya

  Almost overlooked her too and six of the fourteen faves who made the list had their first names begin with an M or 42%. I like Mariya quite a bit but not as much as I did a few years ago. She does look fabulous but have grown a bit bored with her mag spreads and pictorials as they're starting to look alike. Wonder if her fans are thinking the same thing too as her views for every post have gotten smaller than they once were compared to years ago but she still has plenty of admirers out there.

 #5    Mai Shiraishi who had an average of 724 for thirteen posts

Post from October 30th: The shimmering Mai post

 This was a pleasant surprise as Mai's popularity had been dipping the past year or so. She's always going to remain popular but didn't think she would make the top ten. One reason is that she seldom does gravure spreads these days, she still looks fabulous in all of her pics but know many viewers prefer her dressed a bit scantily and who can blame them. Did have her first post for 2020 yesterday which is her top one in over a year.

 #4    Rena Takeda, average of 740 for nineteen posts

WPB-net post from January 1st: Rena's first post of the year

 This is about where I thought Rena would have ended up however thought her post average would have been much higher as it seems almost everyone else's is. Three of the top seven are gravure models though are also actresses, she did say that there would be no more gravure spreads in the future so how will that affect her view counts in the coming year(s)? One thing that surprised me was how many posts she had for the year, the leader had 22 and her nineteen put her in a three way tie
for second.

#3    Yui Imaizumi, averaged 868 for seven posts

October 23rd post: Yui

 This may be the biggest surprise of all of 31, thought she may squeeze on but not this high. Yui was definitely helped out by her first post of the year that was in February which was one of the highest viewed posts of the year. But all of them have drawn many fans and no person has moved up as quickly on my faves list this year save for one or two others. Haven't been doing many regular posts recently but do hope to have one for her in the next week or so.

 #2    Nana Owada, six posts that had an average of 1,096

Photobook tidbits from September 16th: Nana PB

 Bet a few are shocked with this position but I wasn't surprised as I had been seeing how many views her posts were getting and knew she even had a shot at being number one. Nana's first post back in March has drawn almost 2,900 views which definitely helped her out but even without that post her average would have been close to 800 which meant she would have finished third. She hasn't had a post in over two months, do have one new mag spread and very little else. Hoping her activities pick up as next year she'll be eligible for the yearly faves list, she wasn't this year as her age is just twenty but she's been around so long you'd think she was 25 or so, her b-day is in September.

 #1    Risa Watanabe, her nineteen posts had an average of 1,105 views

July 27th birthday post: Risa's b-day

 As you can see it was fairly tight for first place and those two spots blew the field away. While so many of the fourteen on the list were consistent as far as how many views their average post received she definitely wasn't! Of Risa's nineteen posts seven drew over 1,400 views while her other twelve only averaged about seven hundred, her posts were always so up and down. But the quality of them wasn't as to me her posts were the best of the year. Been a slow stretch for her lately but maybe it's that time of year, have a feeling she won't retain her title next year but hope I'm wrong and it's all up to you viewers who your #1 is.
