Welcome to this Baka's blog on his fave Japanese Pop Culture interests.
Welcome to my humble site....
Hajimemashite minna san....welcome to my site on my fave Japanese Pop Culture likes such as dramas, movies, magazine scans, promo events etc. Mainly concentrate on my faves...Yui Kobayashi... Miku Tanaka... Nagi Inoue....Maria Makino.... Nene Shida....if you're a fan at all of any of them then you've come to the rightplace(!) but many others are featured here besides them. Do mainly quick reviews on things I've watched, try to make the reviews brief, quick to read through with not too many spoilers, just whether they're good or bad and why I thought so plus whether you may find them enjoyable. Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available. Hope you find something that interests you, don't hesitate to comment, arigato gozaimasu!
You may be(are) reading this before the above post as that one will(did) take a while. For those who missed last year's top ten list which was my first one have two pics of everyone who made the list. Above is naturally Erika, didn't have her on that list as I considered her exempt, for you long time viewers(thanks!) you all know how I feel about her.
Hope I mentioned it in the above post but what I thought of doing was exempting the winner of a top ten list and will move them into my 'hall of fame' status. So far there's two if you include last year's winner who was Masami but was thinking of adding Nanami to that club as she did finish in the top spot for my first 'Top Ten Fave Nogi Members'.
On to the pics, won't give you the names as let's see if you can tell who they are by their pics but already told you who finished #1. There will be at least two who won't make this year's top twenty, perhaps three and #1 won;t be included so this year's list will consist of almost all new gals. Then again I messed up and left at least one out who should have been there who was Maimi, still can't believe she slipped my mind. As mentioned two pics each for the of the 'winners', going backwards from #10 to the top spot.
Will try to keep this brief as it's probably anti-climatic who #1 was going to be, did give a few spoilers on who it was going to be recently plus if you've been a frequent visitor here then it's no mystery who I(we) bow to. Plus it is that one in a year eve so this will be the only post, still have four hours until 2016 where I am but if you're in Japan where most of my viewers are then it's been the new year for over eight hours.
Seeing as this is the final post for the top ten for those of you that enjoy stats here's a few of them. The average age of all of them is 26 years and two months, have mentioned that I do prefer them a tad older. The oldest was born in 1986, the youngest in 1993 with June being the most common month as four were born then including tonight's honoree. And in a strange tidbit eight of their first names end in the letter I, the -mi ending is so common in Japan. And finally for the stats here are the amount of views each of the winner's posts have received from highest to lowest:
#3- Yuko, 390.... wonder if she would have run away with a poll here if there was one?
#5- Mirei, 218
#4- Nanami, 201
#6- Tsubasa, 192
#10- Manami, 180
#9- Gakky, 178
#7- Kii, 135
#8- Miori, 105
#2- Saki, 96.... am I her only fan left?!
#1 after two days.... 151!
On to the easy choice for #1 which of course is Masami but actually if you read a post from yesterday you could say she's number 1B. Really slow year for her, by far her slowest as she didn't appear in any dramas and only one film which was filmed in 2013. But Masami will never let us forget her., though she was way too quiet when she did appear at a promo event, premiere or awards show she simply had everyone's jaw dropping.
Think I may start putting all those events from the past few years into a few posts, when Masami appears at a premiere, festival or whatever she just looks so incredible. Check out that 'featured post of the day' for perhaps her best pics ever which were from the "Umimachi Diary" premiere back in June. Then again my fave Masami pics may be from the Golden Horse Film Festival which took place in November of 2012, no descriptions are needed....wow wow wow wow....
Well, this isn't turning out to be as brief as I was planning on so will try to wrap it up in this paragraph(s). Masami now has 210 posts here, would imagine the average post has 25-30 pics in them and quite a few have close to fifty so we're talking at least 6,000 pics here so there's not much left to post about. Granted some of the pics are dupes but even if 25% are that's still between 4.500 and 5,000 pics of Masami here, that's kind of an incredible number but to be honest wish there twice as many.
Nothing really new to talk about, Masmai will be in a Taiga drama starting in January but seeing as how they run for close to 50 episodes will pass on it. Also she'll be in a film called "I am a Hero" which will be coming out in April, doesn't have the lead role but looks to be the second biggest part. That about wraps things up for the top ten, was thinking about doing a post for those who would have been ranked 11-20, not sure if there's ten other big faves I can think of though. To end off of course we have some truly pics of perfection of Masami, think a lot of the top ones are new for here and following them are two breathtaking videos
