Was going to wait until tomorrow until doing this post but thought it makes much more sense having the two posts with all sixteen back to back. It's also a slowish weekend(I think) which is the reason for the post above this one too but you won't be seeing that for close to five hours. Do want to say thanks again for visiting here and can't believe how the views have risen so high these past two years, talked about it more in the below post. So it's gotten to the point where I wonder what can be done for an encore, like so many with perfect photobooks the answer is nothing(yet).....
Those two pics at the top are from Erina's last PB that came out in March 2018. To me it may be the second best book from the past decade and she hasn't released another one as she too can't think of a way too top it. Bring that her up as the post for the book was the most popular post in 2018 with 3,107 views. That's certainly an impressive figure(like hers!) but this year that number would rank.... EIGHTH(!) as the amount of views in two years has increased to a level I never thought would be attained at a place like this, now if I could just have a penny for every letter typed!!!! Those 3,107 views were as of late 2018 and that post has remained popular as the total has risen to 6,437 views and what a shame it may be her final photobook.
Mai should finish well on that list, for 2019 she was ranked fourth. But like last year she won't have any of the top sixteen most viewed posts but all of them are extremely popular, especially her recent ones. Should have two posts for that next weekend, both will have eight positions. After that not sure what kind of list may be up next, would hate to wait a year for any more. Couple possibilities, some sort of all time fave Nogi members list or one that's more interesting which would be my all time hottest Idols but how could I whittle it down to twenty!?
#10.... Yuki Yoda, 2,564 views for her July 10th post 'Mukuchi na Jikan' photobook
Knew she would make the list with this dazzling PB but thought the total would be higher. Been trying to do a post for Yuki and a few other Nogi members as of late but hasn't worked out so well as they're going through a quiet stretch, she's one of two gals to make the list with two posts.
#9.... Yuki Yoda, 2,712 views for her 'Second of two bonus posts' post done of March 9th
That's no mistake as her two posts to make the top sixteen did finish back to back, kind of odd how that happened to the other woman too. When that most popular fave list is done next weekend it wouldn't shock me of Yuki topped the list. She did in the first list for the most popular gals for the first half of the year and she did have a hefty lead but one that wasn't unsurmountable.
#8.... Hinako Sano, 2,744 views for her February 27th post 'Best Hinako!' PB
Not really a surprise to me as Hinako is the most popular gravure model here. She 'retired' from doing those pics at the end of 2018 then 'unretired' about a year ago and released another PB in March. Have had a few posts since then but wish I could do many more of them, this post was for her 2018 book that was supposed to be her final time as a gravure model.
#7.... Mizuki Yamashita, 3,385 views for her June 1st' First photobook' post
Another post that wasn't a surprise and what a difference in these last two positions which was 640 views. Considering how popular Nogi is here and with how many posts they get it is surprising they only had five posts in the top sixteen and one is from a previous year. Mizuki is another member I've ben trying to finish a post for and would like to get that batch done by the end of the year.
#6.... Moe Toyota, 3,538 views for her 'MoEmotion' photobook post done on August 10th
Now this post was certainly a surprise and it was the most viewed one for close to two months. It was Moe's third intro pot and in all honesty had slightly forgotten about her as she hasn't had a post since this one. Will be working on one now but don't think there's been many recent happenings, this was truly one fabulous PB.
#5.... Hinatazaka46, 3,562 views for their February 27th post 'Tachikogi' photobook
This is kind of a shocker too but a pleasant one. At the time Hina wasn't all that popular here but that's ben changing the past two months as Kyoko currently has a post in he top ten for most views. Before that Shiho did and will be working on another post for her and would love for her to have a PB. Will also have a group post or two by the end of the year.
#4.... Minami Tanaka, 4,594 views for her "Sincerely Yours' PB done on March 7th
Knew this would be way up there but thought it'd be battling for the top spot. However that post to be #1 just set all sorts of records but I at least thought this would be second. But it's still an impressive number and would have topped the list in any other year. This post and number one I may not include in the way the most popular gal list is done. Minami's posts do draw a good amount of views but one like this would really skew the average and make her appear to be more popular than she is. This is the best selling PB of all time as sales are approaching 485,000 copies sold.
#3.... Risa Watanabe, 5,202 views for her November 27, 2019 post 'Her Wondrous 27th'
This post is kind of hard to understand it's popularity. For some reason it's drawn a high number of views all year long and can't understand that. Last year Risa had nineteen solo posts, all were terrific but in my opinion ten were better than this post so why's it been so popular?
#2.... Erika Ikuta, 5.710 views for her "Intermission photobook" post done on July 11, 2019
Now this post is easy to understand it's popularity and is already the sixth most viewed post of all time but still has a long way to go to catch #1. This post was the third most viewed for 2019 and wouldn't be shocked it if it made next year's list too. Talked about encores in the beginning and how does Erika top a dazzling PB such as this one? Could be impossible and would think we'll never see a third photobook from her.
#1.... Miru Shiroma, 6,292 views for her "Love Rush photobook" post done of March 4th
What a post this turned out to be, knew it would be popular but not to this extent. With nearly 6,300 views it's set a record for views in a calendar year, it's one that will never be broken. That's because it still has another 2 1/2 months to go to hit one year since it was done so would expect the total to be over 8.000 by then, it's her first PB and let's pray it's not her last. Wouldn't think it would be as it was a solid seller. When I compile the stats for the most popular list won't be including this post or the one for the fourth position. Miru's posts do draw many views but her most popular regular post has only drawn 880 views so adding this post in would really throw her average for a loop and don't think it'd be fair to the other gals who are fairly consistent.
