This is definitely an anti-climatic post as since September there was little doubt t who #1 for this year would be. For a while number two did put up a battle and had the top spot going into August but just couldn't keep up. There's not much more I can say about Marie, though it's her first time being my #1 for a year she's been my top woman for about 2 1/2 years. She has set some post records the last two years and a few may never be broken. In 2019 she had a streak of ten straight weeks with a post, doubt if that will ever be topped.
In 2019 she had 22 regular posts(non-dramas) which was a new high but that's now been surpassed. Of course the person to top the record was Marie who had 26 posts this year and that's one I'm sure won't be topped plus she had twelve posts for dramas. However she still hasn't hit the one hundred post mark yet, would think it'll happen early next year. But that mark is an impressive one as Marie didn't have her first post here until mid 2017 and no other actress/model has come close to the amount of posts she's had since then.
Still working on that cloning project, it's worked out well though four of them at once definitely tires me out!!!! Kind of a slow stretch as this is her first post in a month, only time that's happened this year. But think the main reason has been she's filming her new drama "Love You As The World Ends" which begins in January. There's little doubt that will be the one series I won't miss and it stars another big fave of mine, will have more info on it in a future post. She's also going to be in a mini series airing from December 28th to the 30th though not holding my breath that it'll be available....
Over the weekend will be having a pair of posts for who the most popular women are here. The criteria is an easy one as just six solo posts are needed, last 31 were eligible but this year it dropped to 28, it doesn't include Korean actresses. Last year Marie was not a huge fave of many as she ranked 23rd out of the 31 which was a bit disappointing but then again thought she would have finished lower. This year the viewership is up 20% and save for a handful everyone's views per posts have gone way up.
Last year her average was 401, with such an increase this year you'd expect that figure to be 480 views a posts. But no(!), her average has somehow dropped to 389 this year for the 26 posts and what's happened?! One post was for her tremendous 2018 photobook, that's drawn over a thousand views and is easily her most popular one of all time. If you take that post out her other 25 had an average of.... 364 and that boggles my little brain! Hard to figure out why, too many posts perhaps or what I think is the biggest reason is that there's been no new gravure pics this year.
But to me no gravure pics is a plus and if she never had any more for the rest of her career I could live with that as she looks perfect however she's clad. So perfect that I would put her and #4 on his year's list as the two favorites to top the second 'All Time Top Twenty Faves' list, it has an ETA of Spring 2022. Seeing as how number four is a newly graduated Idol you may be looking at the next woman to top that all time list. Have a good amount of new pics for today or ones that have never been posted before, say about seventy plus some others which may bump the total up to a hundred.
Not going to recap the final two shows of Marie's 'Sono/Mercari' drama, just not enough time and most viewers weren't interested in the show. To me it was just so-so, kind of entertaining but not a must watch, my main problem was though that she had the lead role it wasn't a large one. That's because the stories revolved around the guest stars and how their packages from the Mercari site changed their lives or fate as Riku would say.
Riku ws the name of her character and at least in the final show, episode six, the story was about her. Riku's parents had died in a fire ten years prior and for some reason has really resented them. She had been adopted by her parent's best friend Shiro and still lives with to this day. Riku also doesn't get along with him or a least on the outside it's the impression she gave. But in this final show Shiro had to go to the hospital and that made Riku realize how much she did care for the man and she's even forgiven her parents after watching a few older videos. As I mentioned the drama certainly isn't a must watch but an episode is only 24 minutes long and think if you're one of her few fans it's worth checking out.
Now on to some regular kind of pics, Marie has been a model with More for a while now but since the beginning of November has had so few new pics which is a rarity.
But a good amount of new pics for Uniqlo which have some out this month.
Hopefully there will be more regular events in 2021, there have been the usual amount for movie premieres but very few to promote products and such. Marie always looks so chic at them or should I say most. That's because she was at an event on December 14th for a campaign called 'SOS47', she was also at an event for it back in July. It's a campaign to alert the public about the huge rise in scams and it's really gone up because of the health crisis. Just have a few pics from it as there weren't many plus the way they were dressed was kind of drab, two Nogi faves were also at the event.
More than events hope those huge fashion shows are held next year, after February all were cancelled save for one in September. So I've been having to go back in time with those show pics which isn't a bad thing as the pics from them are always so super duper. Such as this batch which are from the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' Autumn/Winter show held in September 2019, of course the show pics are superb but prefer the interview ones sans the glasses.
Here's an older spread that had never been posted before, have had for it eons but for some unknown reason have never included it in a post until now, it's from the July 25, 2019 issue of Hot Dog.
In August Marie celebrated her second anniversary of being a model for Oggi. To me their pics are so snazzy plus they usually have so many pics at their site. Have plenty for today which have all come out in the last month.
More pics from Oggi plus a video which is also one for Family Mart and their Famima Bakery located in their convenience stores, you can view the CM here: Family Mart CM
No new spreads for today which is okay as I bet there were twice as many of them this year compared to 2019. So will have an encore viewing of this set from the December 1st issue of Flash which was in her last post, her last few spreads have been so dazzling.
Sigh, please don't wake me up from this fantasy, sigh....
Whew, hard to write with that playing, whewwww! Marie's last few spreads as said have been so terrific I was kind of wondering if it may be because she has a PB coming out. That would make my year and her previous one came out on January 5, 2018 which was her birthday, guess that's when her next post would be. We've hit the finale and will be back soon with a wrap up post with stats and whatever else. Will have these beyond perfect pics of Marie to end off with, know many women are more bodacious but to me you just can't get any better than her. Following the pics have a new CM for Nintendo which also has a behind the scenes segment.
