Nogizaka46: A little of this and that for 2015 #13....

 Once again have many things to post about but not that much about one thing. The group's last single which was their 11th one "Inochi wa Utsulushii" has stalled a bit since it's first week which sold a bit over 500,000 copies. Now after a month the total is just at 550,000 copies sold so looks like they won't be setting a new group record which is currently stands at 611,000. Think what may have hurt the sales after the first few weeks is the amount of singles that had been released from March 4th to April 1st, AKB, SKE, NMB, C-ute, Rev. from DVL and a few others released single during that four week stretch, think it hurt all their sales as first week sales for all the groups were very good but then faded rapidly after that.
 On April 18th the group was invited to the annual cherry viewing party at the Shinjuku Gyoen Park, think it's an event put on my any current Prime Minster and the current one's name is Shinzo Abe, looked like he was asking Nanami for some advice!





 On April 20th Nanami hosted her first Girls Locks! radio show, she'll be the host for the third week of every month and she'll be doing the shows from Monday to Thursday. Have a few pics here from that first show and will probably be back with more as they update their site with more pics as the week goes on.








 Not too may new mag spreads but at least they're quite good such as Misa's from the May issue of UTB+, any spread with her gets a grade of an A++++!






 Don't see Chiharu in many mags but here she is from Young Jump #21 which is their current issue.





 For 2015 Nanase has certainly had way more solo spreads then any other member, she actually may have taken over the top spot as far as popularity goes from Mai. She's now an exclusive model for Non-no and she'll be appearing in all their monthly issues and her first appearance is in the June issue, shame there's no promo video for it like most of their models have and the bottom pics are some promo ones from their site.











 No video for the above spread but have a new Nanase CM for Pizza Hut, she's really been everywhere this year, also there's a 'making of' segment in the video.
