(Maybe) My Last Post.

I would have like to have gone the way I wanted to, instead of unexpectedly like this. I was actually working on 2 post, that I wanted to post before posting this one. Anyways, they weren’t of any significant to anyone except to myself.

I would like to “Thank” everyone who check out my post, hoped you enjoyed checking it out as much I enjoyed doing it.

If I have any J-Pop experience in the future, and want to write about it. I’ll do it here.

This wasn’t easy to do, but needed to do for a long time now.

Oricon Top 10 Singles and Top 10 Albums, Week 12, 2021.

* I’m writing this cause it could happen at any time now, as far as doing the oricon charts on weekly basis. I just may do it only when a single or albums is release from a group from the AKB48 family, or take a couple weeks off now and then. I really don’t know we’ll see only time will tell.

My Top 30 Favorite Members In The AKB48 Family, February 2021.

Last year I made this an annual thing, I’ve done this a couple of times before that. I’m going to rate them on cute, sex appeal and how attractive I think they are. Cute could mean how cute I think they are or the away they act, sex appeal would be how sexy I think they are or how much I want to have sex with them, attractive how pretty or appealing I think they are and maybe a few other things.

This really has very little impact on how much I actually like a member, but probably more than I think. Don’t take it to seriously and don’t think/look too much into it, doesn’t really mean much maybe except to me.

I’ll try to be fair this time, before I tended to be a bit generous and sentimental on some members.

My Favorite Top 25 J-Pop Idols and Top J-Pop Groups, January 2021.

I do twice a year usually in January & July.

My Top 25 J-Pop Idols :

25. Aki Suda (Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu) (16).

She join the group last year, I think she’s really cute. I like her, because she reminds me of an AKB48 member that I like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

24. Yuhane Yamazaki (Beyooooonds) (18).

Acts very childish at times, but she’s really cute.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

23. Ami Tanimoto (Tsubaki Factory) (21).

When I first saw her I would never have imagine she’d be doing bikini shoots.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

22. Yumeno Kishimoto (Tsubaki Factory) (20).

I Like her, she has sex appeal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

21. Haruka Koizumi (Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu) (20).

A cute, sweet girl.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

20. Saya Yamashita (Yumemiru Adolescence) (19).

I hope I see and hear more of her in 2021, than I did in 2020.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

19. Kira Yamaguchi (Girls2) (17).

For some reason at first I was very reluctant to like her, then I slowly warm up to her. I really like her now, actually a couple Girls2 members I’m like that with.

On January 20th, it was her Birthday. Happy belated 17th Birthday, Kira.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

18. Hitoka Sakai (Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu) (19).

She will release her first photobook “First Love”, next month. Hoping to see some bikini, but this is “Stardust” I wouldn’t bet on it. Still….., either way I’m looking forward to this.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

17. Mai Haruna (Tacoyaki Rainbow) (20).

I’ve been seeing and hearing a lot from her, which is good hope it continues for a good long while.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

16. Youka Ogawa (Girls2) (16).

I don’t mind her with short hair, she looks good with it. Hope she grows it long again.

She’s always smiling and happy, she makes me feel good.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

15.. Nanami Abe (Last Idol / Pax Puella) (18).

I don’t mind her being in 2 Idol groups, but “Pax Puella” is suffering.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

14. Moca (lol) (19).

She release her first photobook not that long ago, hope for more from this beauty.

In about 2 weeks February 13th, it’s her Birthday. Happy 20th Birthday in advance, Moca.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

13. Misato Miira (Wyenra) (26).

She’s done some bikini shoots, whenever I see in her in a bikini. It always gets me off.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12. Rei Inoue (Juice=Juice) (19).

She’s not making me like Juice=Juice more, but I’m liking her just as much as ever.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

11. Yuu (Qumalidepart) (22).

Will I ever get enough of her, No.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Mion Mukaichi (AKB48) (23).

C’mon Mion, I need some bikini shoots from you.

On January 29th, was her Birthday. Happy belated 23rd Birthday, Mion.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Momoka Minami (Aqua Note) (16).

She’s starting to do bikini shoots, which is great she’s the kind of girl I like too see in a bikini. She cut her hair hope she let’s it grow really long again, I think she had more sex appeal with it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Airi Hiruta (Niji no Conquistador) (16).

She likes to make funny faces, which makes her seem kind of weird. I find it really cute and funny when she does it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Yui Oguri (AKB48) (19).

It’s been a long time, but it feels like I just found out who she was very recently. And to think for a good year or two maybe more, I just couldn’t stop checking her out. And that was a while ago, really weird feeling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Yume Hashimoto (Devil ANTHEM) (17).

In the beginning I didn’t think I would ever like her this much for this long, no end in sight.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Nao Sakura (Team Shachi) (23).

Their are Idols you are meant to like for life, I think for me it’s her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Maria Makino (Morning Musume) (19).

I use to complain of overexposure, enough is enough. Now that their’s not much Maria, I’m wanting more. A lot more.

In a few days February 2nd, it’s her Birthday. Happy 20th Birthday in advance, Maria.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Yuki Kashiwagi (AKB48) (29).

Because she’s Yuki Kashiwagi when it comes J-Pop rankings, she will always ranked at the Top or near the Top.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Meru Tashima (HKT48) (21).

I still think she’s an attention hog.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Hitomi Arai (Tokyo Girls’ Style) (22).

Is their a more sweeter and cuter J-Pop Idol, as far as I’m concern. No.

Top 20 J-Pop Idol Groups :

20. PassCode.

Unlike other J-Pop Idols groups, they evolve somewhat.19. Aqua Note.

Suzuka Sayama graduated about a month ago, which is too bad she seem really close with Momoka Minami. They added 2 new Kenshuusei members Miyabi Natsukawa & Tomoha Yuzuki a couple of cuties.18. SKE48.

After more than a year they will finally release a single in about a week, Jurina Matsui farewell single.17. Tokyo Girls’ Style.

They’ll release a new single on February 10th, this one looks really good.16. Mameshiba no Taigun.

They have a couple members who used to be with “iDOL Street”, including Nao Of Nao who’s just Kojima gorgeous.15. Girls2.

Great dancers and they seem to really enjoy what they’re doing.14. Yumemiru Adolescence.

I’m not sure, but I think they added a few new members. I can’t seem to find anything to confirm this officially or close to it. What else is new with them.

When comes to current news as far as J-Pop artist goes as long as I’ve been following it, I’ve never had a more difficult time as I have with them.

13. OBP.

Along with “Beyooooonds” in the last year or 2, I don’t think I’ve enjoyed and had as much fun checking up on an J-Pop Idol group.12. NMB48.

For the longest time now I’ve been in and out, in and out I don’t know how many times now. Now I’m back in with NMB48. I don’t Know who’s turnover rate is worse them or SKE48. They’re both very bad.11. Tacoyaki Rainbow.

I like them better than “Tokimeki Sendenbu”, I ranked them lower. They’ve done a lot less in the last year.10. Cho Tokimeki Sendenbu.

Very few if any J-Pop Idol groups I enjoy checking up more on these days, if and when I do check up on them.9. Beyooooonds.

After about 19 months they will release their 2nd single.8. Nogizaka46.

Losing Mai Shiraishi hurts “Big Time”.7. Tsubaki Factory.

Risa Ogata officially left the group on December 28th, due to some unfortunate circumstances.6. Wa-Suta.

Wa-Suta was the last J-Pop act I’ve seen live, I don’t know when I’m gonna see one again.5. HKT48.

A lot of fun to follow.4. Devil ANTHEM.

I really don’t know why they’re not more popular, they’re great.3. SUPER GiRLS.

Chika Ishimura graduated on the last day of the year, last year. I’m really starting to get into Shiori Nagao, I’ve always thought she was cute. I don’t know why it took me this long to start taking an interest in her, you’ll probably see her here the next time I do this.2. Morning Musume.

I’m starting (or trying) to get to know their 3 newest members, they’re cute.1. AKB48.

When are going to release next single.

30.. Rika Watanabe (Sakurazaka46 – 1st Generation) (25).

She’ll be center for the first time, for the upcoming Nogizaka46 single. Which will be release next month.

3. Yui Oguri (AKB48 – Team 8 and AKB48 – Team A) (18).

It’s her Birthday tomorrow, December 26th. Happy 19th Birthday, Yui.

It took her 3 years and 2 months to reach the Top 3, which is also how long it took Meru Tashima. I was just curious so I decided to check, I don’t know if that’s the fastest to reach Top 3 or not. I think Mai Shiraishi got there quicker. I may check later.

2. Yuki Kashiwagi (AKB48 – Team B) (29).

1. Meru Tashima (HKT48 – Team H) (20).

 

Have A Happy Merry Christmas 2020.

For obvious reason, It’s a very difficult and Challenging time right now. You, just got to make best of the situation.

It is Christmas, so “Merry Christmas”.

Meru & Yui would also like to wish you a “Happy and Safe Christmas”.
