Marie Iitoyo: Still in a 'too close to call battle' for this year's #1 fave....

 

 Semi slowdown for some of my bigger faves as of late, few did have some posts last week but many have kind of disappeared. Marie never quite disappears though she's slowed down a tad too as this is just her fourth post since the beginning of August. But for the third year in a row she'll have more posts than anyone but can she set a record once again for them? Don't think so as time is running out, a 'Nao Year' ends on November 30th. This is her 22nd post of the year, in 2020 she set the record with 26 and just can't see her having another 4-5 in eight weeks but if someone can do it....

 For a long time it was mainly a two women battle for this year's top fave. But now there's a third added to the mix and it could go right down to the wire. Not going to play any faves when it comes to the positioning but will admit Marie is my top gal of the trio, it could come down to who will be the busiest of the three in the next two months. This is the first year ex-winners have been eligible, Marie was #1 last year and will start the countdown of my top sixteen at the end of November.

 Haven't seen Marie in a drama since the 'Hinekure' show ended in June, she will be in an Asadora series but that doesn't begin until next year. Also seems as though it's been eons since she last attended an event and think her last one was in April. So let's go back in time for these pics from the May 18, 2019 'Girls Award' show and they've cancelled all of their 2021 shows.

 Have over fifty brand new pics for today but there's not too much variety as there's only four batches of pics but of course Marie looks her usual perfect self, first off is this set from the More site.

 Only mag spread for today is from More's November issue.

 Marie's 24th birthday takes place exactly three months from today which is January 5th and that'd be a perfect time for her second photobook! You can always depend on the Oggi site for new and terrific pics which is what these are.

 Marie has never been all that popular here but her posts in the first half of 2021 were drawing more views than ever, sadly those views have really tumbled for her second half of the year posts. Will be ending off with today's top pics and they are truly fabulous, they're from the Uniqlo Autumn collection.
