Nao Kanzaki: Thanks for.... Twenty Million Views(wow!).... plus the first look at this year's top fave's list!

 

 That's Miyuki above and she hasn't had a spot for ten months, it's been a quiet year for her though could have done at least one. But she will have two posts coming up next month(!) and they'll be jammed packed with many newish things. One of those posts will be for the 'Top Twenty of All Time' list and hopefully not to the surprise of many she did make the top ten! So jumping the gun a tad early with this 'Thank You' post as that mark won't be hit for about two hours but wasn't going to be around the rest of the day, this post may take a while so perhaps the milestone will be hit before the post is finished!

 So this is a huge 'Thank You' to everyone who keeps visiting as the twenty million mark would never have happened without you. Plus another new record for million views was set and can't believe the number this time around. By record am referring to how many days it takes to get a million views. For instance it took 100 days to go from 16 to 17 million, 95 days from 17 to 18 million and just missed tying the record as it was 97 days to go from 18 to 19 million. But this time around the unbelievable number of days for a million views was 91 and that blows my tiny mind away! From 2015-17 it used to take ~180 days to get a million views so now this blog gets about twice as many views than five years ago so once again have to give a huge thanks to all that keep visiting here.

 Must be doing something right if the viewership keeps increasing and hope I can keep it up. Really don't know if there's any other blog such as this one as there is so much variety and most other places just focus on one thing. Have always noticed that viewers like stats and is it because most are males? Blogger does keep track of many things and for the most part think they're accurate. So below have some screenshots I just took of the all time stats and since day one the viewers from Japan outnumber every other country by a wide margin, popular in a lot of places from SE Asia too.

 So of course have been concentrating more on the 'All Time Top Twenty Faves' list and the next post on the countdown will be done Tuesday for #15. But it's only 3 1/2 months before the eighth yearly list is done and thought I'd have a mini section for it to see where we're at. The past six years the list has contained twenty faves but think this year it will just be sixteen. To be eligible a person just needs six solo posts which is easy enough, solo means no drama, film or group posts if you're an Idol. To date 23 have five or more posts and would think 2-3 more would qualify for a total of 26. If somehow the number of 28 is hit then just may make the list twenty as usual. So will have a pair of pics for all that currently have five or more posts, won't list their names to see how many you know! There's no clear cut favorite yet for who will be number one but these three may have the edge so far.

 However this pair have really made some headway as of late and they too could be in the mix to be #1 this year, wouldn't surprise me if either did achieve that feat.

 So above is probably my current top five but a lot of things can change in 3 1/2 months and wouldn't doubt if it does! Here are the remaining eighteen who are eligible and as mentioned a few more may qualify which I hope happens. This brings the total to 23 and if the fave's list has sixteen it means seven of these gals won't be on the list! The above and below go in alpha order and as mentioned how many can you name, sadly no prize if you can....
