25. Erika Ikuta (Nogizaka46 – 1st Generation).

22. Rei Jonishi (NMB48 – Team BII).

This is about Rei sister, did Kei and Sayaka had some kind of boobs competition going on or something like that. Was it a friendly one, it didn’t seem like it. Or is me thinking of something too much, that really wasn’t about anything.

10. Saki Takeuchi (SKE48 – Team KII).

AKB48 56th Single “Sustainable”, First Week Sales.

AKB48 56th single “Sustainable”, which was release on September 18th. Sold 1,380,266 copies in it’s first week of release to ranked number one, on the weekly oricon singles chart. Moeka Yahagi is center for this single, I didn’t know her sister is former SKE48 members Yukina Yahagi. Personally I love this single their best one in a long, long time. Most of the tracks kinda sound similar, but I like it a lot. The only draw back to me for this single is each CD has only 2 song instead of the usual 3.

My Favorite Members In The AKB48 Family, September 2019.

30. Sumire Yokono (NMB48 – Kenkyuusei).

With Nogizaka46 Reika Sakurai graduation at the beginning of the month, a spot opens up. Sumire Yokono is fairly new to me I think she’s really hot. She’s a 6th Generation NMB48 members so she join the group just over a year ago. She use to be with iDOL Street I followed iDOL Street pretty closely for a while, I don’t remember her. She wasn’t in any of their main groups there. I think she’s someone I will be very interested in, she’s been getting some attention lately I guess with all the NMB48 graduation. I think she’ll give Miru Shiroma some competition.

Although NMB48 is probably the least of 48 groups I check up on, I think they got sexiest members. I think they’re very mature and grown up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

29. Moeka Yahagi (AKB48 – Team K).

12. Yurina Hirate (Keyakizaka46 – 1st Generation).

I’m gonna talk about “Beyooooonds” it has something to do with Techi, actually it doesn’t really. I check them out in early August when their 1st single came out, mainly I was curious about one of the songs ” Go Waist”, which is a parody of Village People “Go West”. I checked out the video and also the other songs on the single, I didn’t like it and that was it. Then in the 1st week of September I saw or read something that made me check it out it again, something happen I have been checking on them all the time since then. In fact before I go to sleep I have to watch that video “Go Waist”. One of the members Honoka Kobayashi when I saw her “Techi” came to mind, probably as something to do with the hair and facial feature I think they look alike. I wouldn’t say she’s pretty, but I’m really attracted to her (So I guess that makes her pretty, I got good taste).. And she’s not really cute, but she is cute. I’m becoming a really big fan of hers, not for the obvious reasons and she’s a really good piano player. I also like Yuhane Yamazaki she’s really cute, seems like she likes to tease and flirt. A lot members in the group I like, I don’t want to get into that here.

11. Yuka Ogino (NGT48 – 1st Generation).

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Saki Takeuchi (SKE48 – Team KII).

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Rika Nakai (NGT48 – 1st Generation).

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Rena Kato (AKB48 – Team A).

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Ryoha Kitagawa (SKE48 – Team S Leader).

She just graduated from SKE48 a few days ago, I will miss her. Believe it or not tears are falling as I’m doing this, she’s basically the only SKE48 member that I’m really following.  I wish her “The Best Of Luck”. I will continue to follow her.

I will miss her with Saki Takeuchi they seem like really good friends, although I haven’t seen that much pictures of them together lately.

I’m getting little emotional about her graduation, she made her graduation announcement almost 3 months ago. But, it came out of nowhere unexpected. I’m trying to remember If I ever felt this way about someone graduation. I can’t think of one. Acchan was pretty emotional.

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Asuka Saito (Nogizaka46 – 1st Generation).

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Yui Oguri (AKB48 – Team 8 and AKB48 – Team A).

When I read she cut her hair short, I had to check it out. She cut a lot, but it’s not as short I thought, she looks cute with it and more mature. I like her with really long hair hope she lets grow long again. I’m Ok with it, as long she doesn’t cut it any shorter. But, who am I to tell her what to do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Mion Mukaichi (AKB48 – Team A, AKB48 General Manger).

I’ve seen pictures of her with a guitar, I never knew she could play. This makes me happy.

3. Mai Shiraishi (Nogizaka46 – 1st Generation).

Nogizaka46 24th Single “Yoake Made Tsuyogaranakute mo Ii”, First Week Sales.

Nogizaka46 24th single “Yoake Made Tsuyogaranakute mo Ii”, which was released on September 4th. Sold 964,523 copies in it’s first week of release to ranked number one, on the weekly oricon singles chart. Sakura Endo is center for this single, never heard of her. She’s a 4th generation member, so she’s been with the group less than a year. This is also the last single for “The Captain” Reika Sakurai as she graduated on September 1st

The 46 family has been hit by a couple of scandals this past week, first it was Hinatazaka46 Mao Iguchi, then very soon after it was Keyakizaka46 Nana Oda. The only other scandal I can think of right now from a 46 member is the one Nogizaka46 Sayuri Matsumura had a few years ago, and these 2 are very, very minor compared to Sayuri. This will be all forgotten before Christmas comes.

Fantastic Illusion – i Ris (08/28/2019) (9,987).14. The First Summer – Akishibu Project (08/28/2019) (9,918).

* All the members basically join the group within the last 15 months, with the exception of original member Miiro Taguchi. Almost half of them joining a couple of months ago, they lost 2 members in May including Yue Miyatani she was probably the only member I was remotely interested in. They’re turnover rate is very bad, this group will always have a special in my heart.

You should check out their former members, I was very surprise to find out who some of them are.17. New Horizon – Euphoria (08/28/2019) (7,346).19. Null – ReoNa (08/28/2019) (6,404).22. Odoru Ponpokorin – Momoiro Clover Z (08/28/2019) (5,986).

* Really bad sales for them this is an exception, not the norm. E-girls release this song as a single a few years ago, I like they’re version. A few others also did this song. This ain’t a bad single I kinda like it, it just that this is for little kids.24. Tsuki wo Ou Mayonaka – Eir Aoi (08/28/2019) (5,530).26. Nina Pelea – Nina Pelea (08/27/2019) (4,447).37. Fly My Way / Soul Full Of Music – Emiko Suzuki (08/28/2019) (2,435).39. Unbalance – Reverse Tokyo (08/27/2019) (2,059).

* This is a group I will be taking an interest in, I know I said that to a lot of other groups before and nothing happen. They’re different I think their really cute and have my kind of sex appeal, they look like a group I will really enjoy following. They’re a very new group, I think they just formed very early this year.42. 1mm Symphony – Machico (08/28/2019) (1,718).43. Iyayo Iyayo mo Suki no Uchi! – Spira Spica (08/28/2019) (1,651).68. Love Summer! – Mai Fuchigami (08/28/2019) (986).89. Be There EP – Koutei Camera Girl Drei (08/28/2019) (549).

* They’ve come to Toronto a couple of times, I can’t remember the reason I didn’t go to the first one. I actually had tickets for that. I missed them this year in May, I didn’t know about that. Maybe I was looking forward to Wa-Suta and got lazy on checking who’s coming around here.

104. Sky & Blue – Girlfriend (08/28/2019) (494).

* I think they’re great I don’t know why they’re not more popular or sell more.

I think someone answered my call.

 

 

 

 

 

 

29. Tomu Muto (AKB48 – Team K).

 

 

 

 

 

28. Madoka Moriyasu (HKT48 – Team KIV).

 

 

 

 

 

 

27. Yui Kobayashi (Keyakizaka46 – 1st Generation).

26. Erika Ikuta (Nogizaka46 – 1st Generation).

 

 

 

 

 

 

25. Reika Sakurai (Nogizaka46 Captain – 1st Generation).

I was really slow into getting into her, anyways she’s graduating in a few days on September 1. This will her last time here, I wish her “The Best Of Luck”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

24. Sayuri Matsumura (Nogizaka46 – 1st Generation).

Today August 27th, is her Birthday. Happy 27th Birthday, Sayuri.

 

 

 

 

 

 

23. Akane Takayanagi (SKE48 – Team KII).

 

 

 

 

 

 

22. Rei Jonishi (NMB48 – Team BII).

I don’t think I will be getting into her anywhere as close as I was with her older sister, I didn’t expect to. Kei is one of my favorites of All Time.

 

 

 

 

 

 

21. Ranze Terada (Nogizaka46 – 2nd Generation).

 

 

 

 

 

 

20. Miku Tanaka (HKT48 – Team H).

One of the youngest to ever get promoted to a Team in a 48 group, probably less than a handful. It’s probably more than this, I can only think of 4 that were younger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

19. Hana Matsuoka (HKT48 – Team TII).

 

 

 

 

 

18. Mizuki Yamashita (Nogizaka46 – 3rd Generation).

 

 

 

 

 

 

17. Miona Hori (Nogizaka46 – 2nd Generation).

She use to have really long, long hair before. Then she cut really short, she’s let grow a bit longer now. She look so cute when she had really long hair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

16. Nao Furuhata (SKE48 – Team KII).

 

 

 

 

 

 

15. Miru Shiroma (NMB48 – Team M).

 

 

 

 

 

 

14. Yui Kojina (HKT48 – Team H).

Considering I don’t see or hear about her that much anymore, surprisingly she’s maintaining her ranking.13. Haruka Komiyama (AKB48 – Team K Captain).

 

 

 

 

 

 

12. Yurina Hirate (Keyakizaka46- 1st Generation).

Poor Girl, She’s Hurt Again. That won’t stop her from being center for another Keyzakaizaka46 single.

 

 

 

 

11. Yuka Ogino (NGT48 – 1st Generation).

Hopefully NGT48 is back in business as usual, unfortunately the damage as been done already. Just hoping for the best.

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Saki Takeuchi (SKE48 – Team KII).

 

 

 

 

 

9. Rika Nakai (NGT48 – 1st Generation).

A few days ago August 23rd, it was her Birthday. Happy belated 22nd Birthday, Rika.

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Ryoha Kitagawa (SKE48 – Team S Leader).

When she graduates it will be a sad time for me, which will be at the end of next month.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Rena Kato (AKB48 – Team A).

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Asuka Saito (Nogizaka46 – 1st Generation).

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Yui Oguri (AKB48 – Team 8 and AKB48 – Team A).

As much as I like her, she’s hit a hard brick wall right now. She’ll likely pass Mion someday, but that’ll probably as far as she’ll get. I said the same about Meru about 3 years ago, and she made to number one for a few months. * Ok, I just check it was 4 years ago.

I still think she will become my favorite member someday, Meru may have something to say about that.

I wonder if that has something to do with the title track.

Ryoha Kitagawa is suppose to graduate at the end of September, which would make this her last SKE48 single. She’s basically absent from this single except for one song, finally Nao has scored one on Ryoha.

My Top 25 J-Pop Idols and Top 20 J-Pop Groups, July 2019.

I do this twice a year in January and July usually, but not always.

Top 25 J-Pop Idols:

25. Ami Tanimoto (Tsubaki Factory).

She’s getting prettier and sexier every time I see her, I’m glad she’s doing bikini shoots now. Hope she does a lot more.

 

 

 

 

 

 

24. Hazuki Sakamoto (Wa-Suta).

I saw her about 2 months ago at Anime North in Toronto, she look like she lost a lot of weight. She look really skinny, that’s not reason why I like her. She was always the one in Wa-Suta I always notice, maybe because she look the most different. I just think she’s so cute.

She has the same birthday as me

 

 

 

 

 

 

23. Saya Yamashita (Yumemiru Adolescence).

So many members in Yumemiru Adolescence I like, for a while now she’s been my favorite. And that’s saying a lot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

22. Moca (lol).

I’m not into mixed J-Pop groups, Moca is the only reason I’m taking any interest in “lol”. I just think she so cute, with sex appeal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

21. Asuka Saito (Nogizaka46).

On August 10th, it’s the birthday of Nogizaka46 youngest 1st Generation Member. Happy 21st Birthday in advance, Asuka.

 

 

 

 

 

 

20. Sakura Seta (Batten Show Jo Tai).

I really like her, but it’s really hard to find anything new on her. In fact it’s really hard to find anything on “Stardust Promotion” idol groups, maybe with the exception of “Team Shachi”. Maybe, I just don’t know where to look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

19. Luna Naito (Rock A Japonica / B.O.L.T).

This really sucks Rock A Japonica disbanded on April 29, due 2 members graduating Ami Uchiyama & Ruka Shiina. I really like Ami Uchiyama, her and Luna look so cute together. The 3 remaining members of Rock A Japonica formed a new unit “B.O.L.T”, with 2 new members.

 

 

 

 

 

 

18. Momota Kanako (Momoiro Clover Z).

She still has cutest dimples in the whole wide world.

Earlier this month July 12th, was her Birthday. Happy belated 25th Birthday, Momota.

 

 

 

 

 

 

17. Yui Oguri (AKB48).

She was very heavily push about a year ago, I wouldn’t say it’s stop. Now, it’s nowhere close to what it was before. It sucks I like her a lot, the more I see her the better.

 

 

 

 

 

 

16. Koumi (Kolme).

As far as I’m concern very few J-Pop Idols have more sex appeal then her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

15. Mion Mukaichi (AKB48).

I miss her doing bikini shoots, she was such a turn-on in a bikini.

 

 

 

 

 

14. Miyuki Watanabe.

I’m back to following Milky on a regular basis again, maybe not that much. I think I said this before in the entire AKB48 family she’s the one I enjoyed following the most, I think I said the same about Mayu. But it really was Milky. She’s cute, sexy & funny (Sounds like Sasshi).

With Kei Jonishi. 2 Former NMB48 sexpot.

13. Rikako Sasaki (Angerme).

She was so easy and fun to follow before, now it seems a little harder. I don’t mean that in any negative way, hard to explain.

 

 

 

 

 

 

12. Mai Ozeki (Country Girls).

I don’t like her lack of activities, maybe that’s just the way she likes it. Although if you check out “Country Girls” twitter account, it doesn’t seem like it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

11. Renon Kurita (Jumping Kiss).

Not that long ago for a good period of time, was I ever checking her out. I kinda stop not because I lost interest in her, she hasn’t been around for to long so I could only find so much stuff on her. Although she just turn 12 years old on July 25th, Happy belated Birthday Renon. She’s not the youngest to make my J-Pop Idol rankings (I check), probably the 2nd youngest.

I was reluctant to ranked her this high, but I have to go with my feelings.

This sucks, I just found this out. She’ll be graduating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

10. Rei Inoue (Kobushi Factory).

She really looks nice with her bangs down.

On July 15th, it was her Birthday. Happy belated 18th Birthday, Rei.

 

 

 

 

 

 

9. Yuu (Qumalidepart).

Yes I’m still heavily into her, and it looks like it will still last a lot longer. She cut her hair short she looks nice, nut I prefer her with long hair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

8. Yume Hashimoto (Devil ANTHEM).

I like her, I just can’t stop checking her out. She seems like the kind of girl I could take to a dinner date or something like that, then a movie. I don’t know what made me say that, when I saw her that just came up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

7. Nao Sakura (Team Shachi).

I was talking about Yume the kind of girl I like to take on a dinner date, and Cheeky Parade Asami Watanabe I like to have as a wife. A few others like that, but I don’t want to make this too long. Nao still the one I’d like to hang out with, and take to J-Pop concert or something like that.

 

 

 

 

 

 

6. Mai Shiraishi ( Nogizaka46).

Poor Mai, she’s the only one I can’t think of anything to say about.

 

 

 

 

 

 

5. Maria Makino (Morning Musume).

I wish I wasn’t so broke, so many good Maria Makino merchandise I want to get. It’s hard not to like her she’s sexy & fun, and loves Baseball.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4. Miki Shimomura (Fairies).

She’s in a Theater Musical “Little Woman”, which also stars some other J-Pop idols. I wish I lived in Japan, this is something I would have love to watch.

I’m glad her hair is long again, I like her so much better with long hair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

3. Meru Tashima (HKT48).

So far this year it seems like it’s a slow year for her (Not doing such of significant to me), I check her out almost all the time. She does a lot of post in social media sites or anything related to that, and their all very entertaining and funny.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Hitomi Arai (Tokyo Girls’ Style).

She seems like the kind of girl that likes to be in the center of attention.

It was just about 5 years ago that I met her, I still have to say meeting her is my biggest J-Pop thrill experience, Along with watching AKB48 in Concert and meeting Yurina Kumai of Berry Koubou.

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. Yuki Kashiwagi (AKB48).

I know she did one recently, how often does she still perform at AKB48 Theater.

My Top 30 J-Pop Groups :

20. Sunmyu.

When they first came out I really followed them, they`re first few years they were very active. The last few years not so, they`ve grown up to be pretty young women.19. OnePixcel.

I`ve always like them from the beginning, even way before I saw them about a year ago. Seeing them was like, made me even like them a lot more. I still remember seeing and meeting Nanami Tanabe, such a flirt.18. BiSH.

They can be really cute. I`ve been paying a lot of attention to Ayuni D lately.17. Tacoyaki Rainbow.

When they first came, out I was really into them. Then I lost interest, I been getting back into them this year. Sakura Ayaki is still my favorite member, I had a such a crush on her in the beginning.16. NMB48.

All the members that I followed on a regular basis Milky, Kei Jonishi & Sayaka Yamamoto are all gone. Now and then I check up on Miru Shiroma I don`t think it`s gonna get anymore than that. I don’t how much longer I can say interested in them, I’m trying too. Releasing a single in a couple of weeks will help.15. Kobushi Factory.

As long has Rei Inoue remains in group, my interest in them will remain. I love their music I listen to them all the time. Minami Nomura is on hiatus right now, with an eye infection. I don’t think it’s very serious she should be back in the very near future.14. SKE48.

As a group I really don’t follow them, I never did. They have few members I like and check on quite a bit.13. Tokyo Girls’ Style.

They don’t get a lot of publicity, but you can tell they really want it.12. Wa-Suta.

I like them even before I saw them 2 months ago. I kinda resented them in the beginning, I felt iDOL Street was favouring them over Cheeky Parade. IDOL Street really pisses me off sometimes.11. Tsubaki Factory.

Only Ami Tanimoto made my Top 25 J-Pop Idols ranking, it could have been either Yumeno Kishimoto or Mao Akiyama those three are all very close. They have good music, it’s good but I find it funny somehow. They actually have a few songs, I just have to laugh. It’s a good thing.10. Fairies.

I can’t say their my type of Idol group, but I really enjoy following and watching them.9. Tokyo Performance Doll.

I think my interest in them as diminished a bit for now, I try to keep up to date with them.

8. Nogizaka46.

Have they replace AKB48 or something, AKB48 cancels they’re election single in late May. Instead Nogizaka46 releases a single in it’s place, Nogizaka46 will be releasing a single in the first week of September (or late August) which is the time that a AKB48 releases a single.7. HKT48.

With Sasshi & Haruka Kodama (She was on hiatus more than a year) graduating, and Sakura Miyawaki & Nako Yabuki on hiatus for more than 2 years. They’re line-up still looks pretty good.6. Momoiro Clover Z.

I’m getting a bit interested in them again, for me it’s been up, down, up, down with them the last few years.5. Devil ANTHEM.

Right now, actually it’s been a long while now. They’re probably the J-Pop Idol group I’m enjoying following.4. Yumemiru Adolescence.

If I did a ranking of all the members in a group 1-10 and average it out within the group, I think they would come out on Top. Kyouka who graduated in April will hurt, but I think they’ll still come out on Top.3. SUPER GiRLS.

They lost 5 members early this year 2 of the my favorites, added 7 new members nothing as change. One thing great about SUPER GiRLS, you know they’ll release a summer single with bikinis. It’s been like that since 2011, their was that exception of one year.

I never realize how pretty, hot and sexy Koume Watanabe is. I guess she got overshadowed by Nana Asakawa & Rina Miyazaki with those 2 gone. I’m really taking notice.2. Morning Musume.

They just added 3 new members last month Homare Okamura, Mei Yamazaki & Rio Kitagawa. They currently have 14 members, I think they had 14 members before. No more than that, I think.1. AKB48.

AKB48 should be ineligible, honestly I don’t know what they are anymore. I don’t where it starts (Ok, I do. Maybe), I definitely don’t know where it ends.

My Top 30 Favorite Members In The AKB48 Family, July 2019.

I should have done this a long time ago, like a year ago. I’m finally putting Anna Iriyama on hiatus from my favorite ranking, she was suppose to be in Mexico only for a year. Obviously it’s more than that now, and with no signs of coming back. I guess she will be on hiatus indefinitely, I’m still checking up on her now and then while she’s been Mexico. And it’s fun a little different, right now with all the stuff going on in AKB world. I really don’t have a problem with this.

I’ve read somewhere she’s coming back soon, I think that was just some wishful thinking.

30. Moeka Yahagi (AKB48 – Team K).

She’s new to me, I’ve only known and been checking her out only for about a month or so. I like her, I think she’s really cute. I wanted to include someone that I’ve been actually been checking out at least a few times, during the last few months. Some members I’ve probably known a lot longer and maybe like more, but I haven’t check up in like a year, and if I did just every quickly.

She just turn 17 years old, earlier this month.

7. Rena Kato (AKB48 – Team A).

1 Yuki Kashiwagi (AKB48 – Team B).
