'Top Twenty Faves' countdown for 2021: Position #3, the irresistible Nashiko Momotsuki!

 




 Previous positions:





  Was worried that there would be so few recent pics for this post and was correct with that assumption. But in a way it's not a bad thing as this will still be a superb post and had thought one other thing. Which is that there's probably many new viewers who have recently checked out this blog so while many pics may be older most may be new to them. Plus who can ever get tired of having a few encore pics of Nashiko! Know I neve will and bet most others won't either, so while this is her first regular post in over two months what a busy year it's been for her. Nashiko had fourteen(!) posts from January to October, that's a nine month stretch and only #1 topped that total. So it's okay if she's taking a breather as she certainly deserves one and also deserved this high ranking. Will get into it more in the recap post that will be the day after the countdown is done. Which is that it's extremely important to have many posts in a year and also to be consistent with them. Some faves have four in two months and then zero posts the next four months! 



 Usually two gravure models make the top twenty, last year Nashiko was ninth which tied a record that was set back in 2017. But this year she blew that record away with a third place spot and also is the first gravure model to make the list twice, think #13 will soon be a fixture too. As I've said many times Nashiko is much more than a gravure model. She also models regular clothing, was/is a cosplayer, is an actress and did the first drama recaps of her this year. In 2022 she'll be doing her first voice acting gig in the anime movie "Love After World Domination" so though it's been a quiet period the last two months I expect another busy year for her in 2022.



 Mentioned that Nashiko was/is a cosplayer, the was part is because she doesn't too all that often these days. So have a few oldie pics of doing her fave activity, those bottom two are ancient ones from 2016 and may be the oldest pics I've ever had of her.









 For being a cosplayer you'd think there would be many Christmas pics but that's not the case.






 As mentioned Nashiko does do regular modeling, she's been an on/off model for the Pivot Door site the past few years, this small batch of pics came out in September.











 Few recent Instagram pics but not all that many as they go back to the end of October. First two are from Nashiko's 26th birthday which took place on November 8th, unlike most gravure models she's gotten busy the older she's gotten.

















 There was an oldie hit song called "Some Guys Have All The Luck", in her case the Guys needs to be replaced with Gals, sigh....



 Just one new mag spread today and she's the cover girl for the December issue of Mac Fan.





 That's been her only mag spread in two months which is why I think a very busy period is about to begin for her. Such as Nashiko will be the cover girl for the next issue of Young King Bull, the cover shows December but read it's not coming out until the 27th and some outtake pics from the spread.






 So there being only that new four page spread let's have an encore viewing of her February 11th Weekly Shonen Champion set, Nashiko is the cover girl for almost every mag she appears in. 




















 This turned out to be another terrific post and will the one for position #2 in either Friday or Saturday. Was going to end off with some pics and the link to Nashiko's sizzling photobook "Mikan" but no need to as it's in the most viewed posts section, it's ranked sixth for the past month but thought it'd be higher. So what I'm going to end off with are some outtake pics from the book's photo shoot. But these are ones that have never been seen here before nor were they at the Twitter page set up for the book, there are some truly outstanding pics, top pic is the cover. No brand new videos but do have a recent one for Sakai movers after the pics, she's done so many CM's for them the last two years.
