Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available.

Nogizaka46: 2017 Magazine scans #57 and much more....



 By the end of the year may have to change the number to '44' as two members will no longer be with us. We've known about Himeka's departure for a while now but there's still no date set for her graduation, above it looks like she can't leave soon enough. If you read the earlier post today for Marika then you know what her situation is, good idea to read that post if you haven't. One thing I've loved about Marika for a while is her non-smiling face, she has been though as of late. 😐



 Really hoping the dam hasn't burst for first generation members, have a strong feeling that when most of them have departed I won't be that big of a fan. Don't want to see the group become like AKB who is now just a brand name and these days you need a scorecard to keep track of members coming and going. Lot of fans think Mai will be next with an announcement, Erika to me is also a candidate who could be leaving soon as she's such a popular stage actress these days.
 Enough depressing talk and let's move on to many pics and happenings. The 19th single is coming out in exactly a week. It's the theme song to the "Asahinagu" film which has been quite successful, week one it was the second most viewed film as far as tickets sold goes, week two it was sixth. Miona has been the best Nogi blogger for quite a long time but has only posted one solo pic the last week but what a pic it is as it's number one to me for this post.... where is her photobook!?


 Surprised there wasn't more coverage of this event which took place on October 1st, usually all Nogi events attract much more coverage. On that day Kazumi was at an event which was also a question and answer session and it was for a subject you wouldn't expect. That's investing and she has been working with the CEO Okuyama of Money Matters which is an investment firm.
 Kazumi worked with him for six months and put out a book which is roughly titled "Methods of investing money- I'm an Idol". Back in February she started to invest money, she started off with two million yen of her own. At first she was losing money but now has a profit of 230,000 yen. Few Nogi members are quite intelligent as Misa also has been doing some work and promoting in business, these are pics from Sunday's event.












 Just two mag spreads for today though they do total 25 pics and we should see more with the new single coming out. Asuka is the co-center of the song and these pics are from the October 26th issue of Hanako, Nanase who is the other center appeared on their October 12th cover.










 Few weeks ago posted some of these pics but only six which wasn't even half of the spread. It features Mai and Nogi team captain Reika from the September 21st edition of Tokyo Walker, you'll also notice the set of pics was used for two other Walker issues.


















 Final set of pics are blog ones and features all Undergirls who deserve much more of a chance. Especially Mirai who looks quite good in her pics, thought by now she'd be a Senbatsu member. Following her is the college student Chiharu, her pics were from a Snidel photo shoot. Other two members are Yuuri who always looks superb, lastly is Ayane who I've been liking much more recently, she's the shyest member but seems to be coming out of her shell and all have four pics.

  1. Tis a sad time TT Miona has PB coming out tho from what I know(in case ya didn't know), you're dreams have come true. Apparently she went to 'merica. Mai.S also has one as well, my dreams have come true. Yumi, Sayuri and someone else i think also is gonna get one. Release dates seem to be around Nov/Dec for all of them which is...kinda weird IMO. Kazumi tho, maaate 😍

  2. Hadn't known about the Miona PB until your comment, now I can die on peace. Mai having one is a good selection, bet that book will be super duper but as far as the others go think it'd be wiser to save the paper. Still no news on Hinako's PB which I thought was completed.

  3. I can die too...with that phone bill m8 fuarr. Ah shit just realised there's two Mai.S, this one is Shinuchi. My excitement tho is off the charts. Hinako keeps calling in sick which leaves me stumped coz who's going to flip my burgers TT. I think Hinako's PB is completely, it's just...idk. The only reasoning I can think of is that as long as she's not in good spirits, then the PB will be put on hold...just like what Yui did to me...

  4. Personally I'm glad the PB is for the second Mai who doesn't get enough attention though her 'All Night Nippon' radio show has become very popular and to me she's really turned so hot the last two years. Hinako did call in sick recently at another handshake event and it was the one they appeared on the 'Music Station' show, I don't know what's happened to her this year.
