Marie Iitoyo: Now that Nao's heart has been captured it's time to conquer the Universe!

 


 Hmmmm, conquering my heart was no challenge for her and that actually happened a few years back! Now doing the same to the Universe may prove to be a bit more difficult, hope she's not reading this  but am wishing for her to fail.... those ET's past Jupiter are such Idol fans and it'll be hard to convert them! On to more serious things before my brain completely goes bonkers which may not be too far in the future. This is Marie's 25th solo post for this year in this vein, she's also had eight for drama recaps. That 25 breaks the record of 24 which she set last year and with over fifty days to go in the year she may come close to thirty but she'll probably finish one or two short.



 There's no suspense this year for who will be #1 on the faves list and there really hasn't been any competition for over two months. Of course I'm talking about Marie and up until the beginning of September there was a tight battle for the top spot involving three others but she's been pulling away and being as busy as she is truly helps. Also the fact that most of Marie's activities are interesting and she always looks so utterly perfect to me which many may not be of the same opinion.

 But been noticing her posts are becoming more popular with each one, she'll never come close to the views a solo Nogi post gets but that's not something I never worry about. Have mentioned a few times how there will be a slowdown on posts for those that will make the list as I like to save most of their pics for a massive post to celebrate their list position. That won't be happening with Marie, her post for being number one will probably be done Christmas week which is just ten days before her birthday. So will be doing these kinds of posts up until ~December tenth, she's just so constantly busy and though she just had a post four days ago have over fifty new pics since then!


 
 Plus have have some oldies which will put the total today to seventy, am trying to cut back on the size of posts but when it comes to her.... Am holding back one older mag spread from 2019 that's never been posted and also won't have any Oggi site pics today but do have a spread from them. So the only modeling pics for today are these from the More site which have come out this week.






 Marie has the starring role in a drama that began on November 3rd, will have some screenshots from it a coming up. The series is called "The Fate, I Will Deliver: True Story of Mercari" and she's done a few recent interviews for the show, these pics are from one that was done for TV Life.






 More for the drama and this batch of pics is from the MyNavi site, dressed the same but the pics do look slightly different.









 One more set of interview pics which were done with Mercari magazine, it is a real site and it's odd that's the last name of her character. Marie is also doing some modeling in these pics and will have more from that clothing line in her next post, one is the second pic at the top of the post.






 Did view the first show though without subs but it was kind of easy follow. My only complaint was there wasn't enough of Marie, an episode is 23+ minutes in length but she was only on screen for about eight minutes. The drama is based upon a real story which is about a flea market app where customers could buy an item and have it delivered. That's where Marie comes in as she plays Kuroe who once a person orders an item she'll pick it up and deliver it to that person, her mini operation is called Elephant Express and she has her mini office in a grocer's. 

 In this first show there was a high school boy who was a massive fan of this one band and had Kuroe deliver a DVD. The lad's name was Seo and his dream was to become a musician too, he really idolized the group's main singer/guitarist Miyashita. However his musical career came to an end and these days runs a small cafe, when he heard about Seo's dream he actually sent the boy one of his guitars that was of course delivered by Kuroe. We may not have seen her on screen enough but Kuroe does do some narration throughout the show. Odds are against it but am really hoping this show may get subbed, if so will give a full recap of this show and the other five episodes. Every show has a different story and
guest stars.















 Marie will also be in a three part mini drama that will be airing December 28th to the 30th. As usual no events and she hasn't appeared at a regular one since February when her 2020 calendar came out. So what I've been doing in many posts is including older event pics but always will have many that weren't in the original post. This set here is from an event held on August 12, 2019 for the "Inakunare Gunjo" film that had it's premiere on September 6th. It's been fourteen months since it's release but haven't seen in on DVD yet.















 Will end off with this spread from the December issue of Oggi, it's Marie's largest one ever and also perhaps her top one with the mag. No new videos in the past four days so chose one for her February calendar event which has been the last one she's had.
