This should be the final 'List Post' of the year, sometimes do one for my top photobooks but it wasn't a good year for them as so fewer were released. You could almost call this 'The Most Popular Photobook posts for 2023' as they dominated the list, way more than ever. Was going to wait another 3-4 days before doing this but thought why not have it now(?),this way will have some extra time for other posts as they are much more difficult to do the final week of a year. Yui leads us off, sure many have noticed how every Idol book has pics of them brushing their teeth. That was in her second book and to me the best example of all time in keeping your teeth glistening! But sadly her photobook post done in April had only the 20th highest amount of views but was 14th for posts done this year. Her not making the list was only mildly shocking, Shiho being in the 18th position was surprising but that PB post does have 2,144 views to date.
No Miyu on this list either even though the last two years she's been in the first and second spots as far as who the most popular woman is here. At the end of June do a list of the most popular/viewed posts done between the start of the 'Nao Year' on December 1st and May 31st. This list covers the view counts of all posts including ones done prior years and six made the cut!!!! There are some extremely popular photobook posts from prior years and they will make the list every time, can't blame anyone for not getting tired of them! So this list looks at which sixteen posts have received the most views from December 1st until November 30th, of course older ones have a slight advantage as they've had time to garner more views. To keep the suspense up will go from sixteen to one, all except two were for photobooks. Will have the link to the post, date it was done, how many views it's had, some pics from it and whatever else.
#16.... Miru Shiroma's post for her "Re:Born" photobook has 2,250 views to date
A little over a month later her third photobook was released. That was a busy time for Miru but since then we've heard hardly anything from her, know she was trying to win a spot again in a J/K group but never checked to see how it turned out. She's one of three women to have a pair of posts on the list.
#15.... Hina Higuchi, her "Koibito no You ni" book has 2,260 views to date
Here's a nice surprise and there were a few of them on the list. Hina's career has been doing well after leaving Nogi and a few months back she did have a couple of magazine spreads. Other Nogi books may have been massive sellers but to me this was almost as terrific as most of them if not better.
#14.... Kyoko Saito has 2,278 views to date for her "BLT White Graph" mini photobook
Kyoko's popularity has taken a huge hit over the last year or so. In 2021 she was #1 as far as how many views her posts received, this year she fell all the way to 19th!!!! But I adore her more than ever and soon will be recapping her drama that just finished it's run last week. So while her popularity has dropped she is one of the three who have two entries on the list.
#13.... Sumire Uesaka, her photobook "Sumireiro" has 2,473 views to date
Here's the third of the trio who had two posts make the top sixteen. Sumire is a voice actress and an older one as she turned 32 five days ago. Will admit that flew over my head but let me try to work on a post for her as she is a semi-fave of mine. Viewers have really enjoyed posts for voice actresses over the years but for some reason it was so difficult to do many of them in 2023.
#12.... Erika Ikuta had 2,570 views for her "Intermission" PB post that was done in 2019!
This is coming close to being the most viewed post ever as it has 27,500 views to date. This is the fifth year in a row this photobook has made the list and guess no one can get tired of her or these photos! I do like Erika immensely and had wanted to have posts after she left Nogi but it hasn't worked out at all. She is busy but rarely appears in magazines or at events though is a model for a site. Like some old timers had slightly forgotten about her so let me attempt to work on something soon.
#11.... Miru Shiroma had 2,866 views for her historical "Love Rush" photobook
Here's the second of her popular posts and historical is an understatement! In 2022 this post had 2,740 views so this was an increase of 126 and total views to date are over 17,000. Miru is so well liked by you viewers and of course me too as she is in my top ten for most hottest Idols of all time. **** This has me thinking that there should be a list or two for the most popular photobooks off all time here and that will be something that I will work on.
#10.... Asuka Saito, her graduation photobook "Museum" has 2,957 views to date
Nogi isn't nearly as popular as they once were but five member's posts made the list. It's the older member's posts that still draw a high amount of views and what I said above could apply to Asuka also. She's in a current drama with the lead female role so she's doing well since her May graduation, the last first generation member to leave.
#9.... Rena Moriya, her "Egao no Guu, Choki, Paa" photobook has 3.152 views to date
Not a surprise this made the list though I did think it would have been higher as Rena is popular with you viewers. After eight posts in 2022 she had only four regular ones this year and as I've moaned about too many times it's getting more difficult to have solo posts for '46' members. One other reason this post should have had more views as the book gets an A++++ from me!!!!
#8.... Yuki Yoda had 3,677 views for her 2020 "Mukuchi na Jikan" photobook
Have kind of soured on Yuki, it's been over a year since her last post and there may never have another for her. Not going to talk about things but there were some happenings with her that didn't please me, some are probably true and some could be false but thought it'd be better to cease with her posts.
#7.... Miku Kanemura, her "Rashinban" photobook to date has 3,895 views
When a post has close to 4,000 views in eight months of course it's been massively popular but thought it would have broke 5,000. However it could be like a few of the others on the list where it remains popular for a long time and maybe this book will be on future lists too. Not much more to say about Miku who was my number two fave of 2023, just got to thinking three Hina members made this list and a fourth wasn't too far off.
#6.... Kyoko Saito had 4,004 views for her 2020 classic "Totteoki no Koibito" book
Talk about one immensely popular post! This was #1 in 2021 for views, second in 2022 and sixth this year. In the 2 1/2 years since the book was posted it's received over 16,000 views so though Kyoko has lost many fans she does remain semi-popular here. Guess then what everyone wants to see is a second book, no Hina member has had one yet so who will be the first? Picture #2 could be my second favorite one of all time, whewwww....
#5.... Hono Tamura, her 2022 photobook "Ippome" had 4,180 views
There's little doubt that viewers really enjoy books from '46' members as nine made the list so it's a shame there were so few of them for 2023. That made me check my list again and didn't realize until now that no gravure model had a post to make the top sixteen though one only missed by 62 views. Nothing I can add in about Hono as all of us like her quite a bit but like so many others it's become very difficult to do posts for her, are there too many members in the three groups? This book came out in August 2021, post was done in March 2022 and has 9,200 views to date.
#4.... Sumire Uesaka has had 4,885 views for her "Sumire no Yume" photobook
Do have one other book though it doesn't feature gravure pics so unsure whether to post it. Do promise to work on another Sumire post as she is very popular here, as mentioned another semi-fave that has slipped my mind. This is one terrific book that also has many pics of her doing one of her favorite passions which is cosplaying.
#3.... Haruka Kaki, her "Massara" photobook had 4,922 views this year
Thought this would have ended up being the second most viewed post, that wasn't to be but nothing wrong with the post that was. Haruka ended up being the most popular woman here for 2023 and this was her first post, to me it's one of the best books from any Nogi member. It was such a huge seller so wonder if we'll be seeing a second book, you and me would love to see that happen!
#2.... Hina Kawata, her 2022 photobook "Omoide no Junban" book had 5,340 views
Don't know whether viewers have believed me or not but have always thought she's the most popular member of the group. In 2022 this book had 4,470 views and ranked fourth, it's moved up two spots as it already has over 10,000 views in just over seventeen months. Will say of all the photobooks I've seen over the years this was the most shocking.... in a fabulous way as Hina brought hotness to a new level! All of her other posts also get a huge amount of views but sadly unable to do more of them.
#1.... Haruka Kodama, her "Another batch" post from December 2022 had 8,380 views
No surprise that a Haruka post was number one but thought it would have been for her photobook but that didn't even make the top sixteen. What's happened to Haruka is a bit of a mystery, she hasn't disappeared but did so little this past year, haven't had a regular post for her in over ten months. Makes me wonder why Haruka hasn't done more gravure modeling after doing so much in 2021/22, why 'enhance' your figure if you're not going to use it to your advantage? Haruka was at a recent event so let me work on doing something for her soon as she could be the most popular woman here, that bottom pic truly leaves me gasping for air....
