Nogizaka46: The 'Asuka Saito post' #4(?)....

 There's probably about sixty pics for today but Asuka's been so busy could have had twice that amount, guess that means another post may be happening in a few days. Had promised to have a Nogi group post this week but she's the only member who has had anything to post about. About the only news is that there's going to be another first generation member graduating and didn't know there were any of them left!!!! Plus Nogi did announce their Senbatsu lineup for the November single, here it is and will try to a group post in the next few days.

 AKB may still sell more singles but don't think their members have ever done as many outside activities like Nogi has. The members have appeared in quite a few dramas and films by themselves, none have been massive hits though the group film "Asahinagu" was fairly successful. Title for Asuka's first solo film is "Ano Koro, KImi wo Oikaketa" which translates over to You Are the Apple of My Eye, these are some promo stills for the movie.

 Bit more on the film which had it's premiere today at the bottom of the post. Asuka's first and only photobook was released close to two years ago when she was eighteen. She's now twenty and wonder when we'll see another one from her as she does look so much better these days as growing older helps and it's been such a smashing success as it's sold close to 175,000 copies. Have three new mag spreads for today and lately Asuka seems to be one of the few members to appear in mags though that should be changing with the new single coming out in November. First off is this set from the October 15th issue of WPB.

 Another cover for Asuka in this set from the October 17th edition of Weekly Shonen.

 Surprisingly there isn't much promoting of the film in these spreads, for the final set Asuka once again graces the cover and it's from the November issue of TV Bros.

 "Ano Koro, KImi wo Oikaketa" had it's premiere today at the TOHO Cinemas in Hibiya. It's naturally a romantic teen film, Asuka turned twenty two months ago but still could pass for someone a few years younger. No good video of the event is out yet but will have it in her next solo post which hopefully will be next week but do have a new promo video for GRL after the pics and sure all of you know her partner in the short promo.
