Had Kazumi leading things off in the last Nogi group post, it's been their most viewed post of the year so let's see if lightning strikes twice. Bit surprised that post has had the most views as it was just done ten days ago but it was one of their better posts. Kazumi's second photobook has been out for two weeks now, it's first week it was #1 on the Oricon charts and it was in fourth place last week. Hasn't been a massive seller but it has sold 31,000+ copies to date which beats her first PB.
On the other hand Erika's latest photobook keeps selling. It was in third place last week for sales and to date the total is approaching 250,000 copies sold and there's little doubt it'll be the best selling book of the year. Another big seller will probably be Nogi's fourth album which comes out on April 17th. So far little info has come out on it such as what the title is or what tunes will be on it. Do know that there will be a lot of concert footage from a few graduation concerts including the member whose name I can't recall that left on February 24th.
Misa is also departing and her final concert will be on March 19th, not positive but think it will be a solo performance and not sure why that is. She's been so quiet these last few months but do have a mag spread with her today. One member who has also been a tad quiet is Mai but then again do save most of her things for a solo post. Hopefully will have one for her this weekend as she has a huge twenty page spread for volume nine of Platinum Flash.
On to the calendar and at one time used to have so many yearly ones but this is the first one for 2019. Would like to have posted many but they've really slowed down over the years for Idols and it's mainly the AKB ones as too many of their superstars have graduated. This was included in the April issue of Bomb and have that spread below. Know it's past February but Mai looked too good to leave out and she could be the #1 member I wish appeared in more spreads.
On to the spreads, always complain that Miona doesn't appear in enough of them but that may not be true, guess it means I just can't get enough of her. She has today's first set which is from the April edition of ar and she's an exclusive model for them.
Added this one in at the last moment and hate to forget about Kazumi. This set is from the February 22nd issue of Friday which features outtake pics from her PB.
Last year Asuka won an award for being the Idol who appeared on the most magazine covers and it's the second year in a row sh's won the award. Looks like she wants to retain that honor as she's been on quite a few for 2019 already such as this one from Shel'tter.
Won't save the best for last as I usually do but to be this is the top one of the day. It features Hinako from the April edition of UTB, second post in a row she's had my #1 spread.
Last set for this post is the Bomb spread from their April issue which also contained the calendar. It features the trio of Asuka, Manatsu and Misa which just may be her final group spread though I really hope not, now which member is going to be my number one.... Miona? Nogi has another new batch of CM's for Mouse which is a Japanese computer company. Have one after the pics, it's quite long but is a very enjoyable video which most will like.
