Nene Shida: Her triumphant return is now in full swing!!!!

 

 These are the kinds of posts I enjoy doing, one reason is I really wanted to do another post for Nene as they had been so rare the second half of the year. The other is that I have such a magnificent new magazine spread but not many other new photos so thought this post would have to be put on hold for a while. So the other enjoyment part was of trying to put together a terrific post with not much to go on and think I exceeded that mini goal, when Nene is the subject of a post even one photo would make it terrific!!!!

 There's only 2 1/2 weeks to go in the 2026 'Nao Year' and wanted to see Nene end on a high note which did happen as this is her third post in eight weeks. However she had only one in the previous four months so for a while I thought Nene may have 'retired' from gravure modeling as she did hit the age of 28 in July. As it's turned out think my main prediction of her needling a break after being so busy for over six years was the correct one and Nene did deserve a rest, this makes it 86 posts for her in 71 months or almost an average of fifteen a year since her first was done in December 2020. No woman has had more posts then her in the period of time and all Nene's posts have been so chockful of photos, I would estimate almost eighty a post as ones for photobooks often have over a hundred pictures. So if my math is correct there's been close to 7,000 photos of Nene in her posts though of course some have been duplicates, one other model has more overall posts but Nene has been and remains my all time favorite gravure model.

 Nene did bein off the year quite strongly so when you combine those posts and her trio from the last eight weeks that'll ensure her of making the fave's list for a fifth consecutive year. She's been in the top seven the previous four years but can see a drop to about ninth or tenth but for a while thought her streak may have been broken. So this will be the final post for Nene until her position in the fave's list comes up so am thinking that'll be in about three weeks. Hopefully she'll have some new things come out by then as I had to use up all my newish photos for this post but she does have a new digital book so that could be in that next post. If these Nene posts can remain consistent until next Spring she will definitely have a high position on the third All Time Faves list, for now I would say she's in the fifth spot and that would be a jump of a dozen positions since the last list was done in the Summer of 2022. By then I had only been doing posts for Nene for twenty months which was the only reason she was not in the top ten, think eleven who were on the last list will also be on the upcoming one and my huge favorites haven't changed too much over the last few years.

 Let's get on with things and as mentioned in the intro there aren't many recent photos, about thirty of them but also have at least that many of older things and many are new for here. First up are these new photos from Nene's IG page, even though her gravure pics are honestly second to no woman in history I think her regular everyday pictures are also so tremendous! The first is for her newest digital book and the next eleven pics are your usual variety while the next two are for Nene's 2027 calendar, if you can wait until then she'll be having an event for it on December 27th. The photos after that are the covers of Nene's four calendars from 2026-23 and then there's a special one at the bottom which is of I hope....

 .... Nene referring to me!!!! Well, she may not have a larger fave than myself even though she's never been #1 on any yearly list but as mentioned is my all time gravure model but Nene does much more than that. Such as acting and the above was a screenshot I took from the "Kamen Rider Geets" show which I thought was quite good, I have seen about ten other Kamen Rider series but none since that one and when will Nene get the starring role in her own superhero series?! The cover for Nene's 2026 calendar is above and exactly one year ago she did hold an event for it, did a post for her back then which did have some photos from the event but many of these weren't in that post.

 In many posts have been adding in older pictures of gravure photo shoots as quite a few had never been posted. Which really wasn't the case for Nene as even when she's not busy I still keep tabs on her so pictures such as those haven't been missed or at least the vast majority. So these 2022 photo shoot pictures are the last older ones you'll see of Nene's but she still has quite a few ancient IG photos that I hadn't included in posts such as today's batch which are from 2021 and you'll be seeing many more in the future. In that batch of new IG photos there were a few of Nene attending a recent birthday bash for Hello Kitty and she truly loves that character, there's two more of those photos below which are from 5 1/2 years ago.

 Just two more sections for this post which isn't a massive one but isn't around eighty photos enough for a post? It is but need to keep reminding myself of that and will go way back in time for this spread from the July 13, 2021 issue of Flash. It had been posted before but sure many have forgotten about it and that last picture is just so sizzling, the one above that had never been posted which is from the photo shoot.

 Will end off with one of this year's top magazine spreads and Nene is the cover girl for the November 13th issue of Friday. It's promoting a new digital book which I hope to have in her next post, the bottom three pictures are from it. There were no videos for either of these spreads so after this final batch of pics is Nene's most viewed gravure video on YT which came out four years ago for the WPB magazine and has 860,000 views..... most are mine(!) and wish it was much longer....
