Personally think the quality of this year's top ten is at it's highest level yet and in past years some faves in the teens may have made the top ten. But there is one thing that I wish wasn't happening which is that the average ages are getting younger. Last year that average was about 26 but can see it dropping to 25 or so this year. In 2019 three faves were 31 or older, this year the oldest gal will be 28. Seems too many of my long time faves aren't as busy these days so it makes sense that the ages would be lower though do prefer women aged 25 and above.
At the top here is Rika who has been such a massive fave of mine for many years now. Tomorrow is her 32nd birthday and she would have been the oldest fave on the list and would have been ranked third. But not going to include Rika on the list and unsure whether she'll have posts in the future. Have been reading some articles about her and it seems she's getting much closer to her boyfriend and didn't know she even had one. So close that wedding bells could be chiming somewhat soon and have always been uncomfortable about posting about married woman or ones about to be which is why I don't. So losing her will hurt that average age as she'll probably be replaced by someone about 24 and how many women in the world can top her hotness....
#8.... Yui Imaizumi, 13th on the last list
Wow, a jump of five spots is quite impressive and not sure why. Yui has had a pair of ultra fabulous posts lately but had been a bit too quiet for the previous three months. Last year she finished 17th on the yearly list so even if she drops a spot or two on the final list it's quite a bump up.
#7.... Haruka Fukuhara, fourth on the previous list
While the above had a nice jump there wasn't a nice move for this position. The last 3-4 months have been so slow for Haruka and that's almost the complete opposite of everyone else in the top ten. Hopefully that means she'll be back with a bang soon and still think she has the most attractive face of anyone on the list, last year she was in the eighth position.
#6.... Yui Kobayashi, was tenth on the first two lists
Another nice jump and can see Yui ending up in the top five but the competition is so brutal. Am expecting her to have 3-4 more posts this year which may make the difference over others. Seems there's more Idols on the list than usual, six by my count but it could have been eight. One reason is that they've remained busy most of the year as the virus affected actresses much more.
#5.... Bae Suzy, same position as the last list
The only person to remain the same but in all honesty could have flipped her with the above fave. But think there will be a pair of posts for Suzy coming up very soon as I do have enough for a post. But that second one will be for her new drama "Startup" which begins in exactly a week. This will be three years in a row she'll make the top six, that was her spot last year.
#4.... Risa Watanabe, seventh on the previous list
She's had three posts in the last five weeks as the she's finally become much more busy after having just one post for a three month stretch. Had Risa been busy all year she'd be challenging for the top spot but I put the blame on that with Keya's inept management. In 2018 she was fifth, last year second so she's got quite an impressive yearly average.
#3.... Miona Hori, first on the last list
Here's another pair whose positions should have been flopped. Miona was my easy number one for over a two month stretch but recently has done virtually nothing. There's been zero solo posts for over a month and hope she can maintain her top five spot. Things do go a bit streaky with Nogi members so let's pray there's some things on the horizon and last year she finished in the eleventh position.
#2.... Minami Umezawa, sixth on the previous list
She's come out of nowhere as Minami wasn't ranked on the first list. Then for the second she debuted in the sixth spot and for a while was thinking of her as #1 but the current one does deserve it. Her first photobook came on September 29th and sold over 71,000 copies in it's first week. There should be a post for her sometime late next week and she's had about seven since early August.
#1.... Marie Iitoyo, second on the last list
No surprise here as I've said this would happen, the surprise would be if she didn't finish in this position on the final list. Guess that could happen as last year she was first at the end of August and ended up fourth which is still impressive. I just don't know what else to add in about Marie who for the second year in a row will be setting a record for most posts. No regular ones this week for her but there should be many coming up very soon with her new drama starting, am truly starting to run out of adjectives to describe her perfectness....
