Not sure what that pic is from as I just stumbled across it. Had always thought that Mai Shinuchi had the best legs in the group and looking at the pic think I may be correct. This is another semi sad Nogi post as the graduations keep piling up, wonder if any first generation member will be around at this time next year? Sure hope so as if not may not be posting about them by then and does anyone else start losing interest in a group once your huge faves depart?
One member who just announced their graduation is Karin Ito and to be honest don't know much about her outside of the 'Bingo' shows. She's been an Undergirl since day one and rarely appears in mags or at events but will try to have something on her in the future. The other graduation is the one I'm most upset about as it's another of my top ten fave Nogi members.
That's Yuuri who posted on her blog her departure info two days ago. Her leaving date will be on May 11th, on that day is a handshake event. Members like her are what got me into Nogi, she's so funny and witty plus is such an underrated hottie. She'll probably never have a photobook and she's the one gal from the group I've always wanted to see have a book, she looks A++++ to me!
Yuuri's had a couple of solo posts and will definitely have at least one for her graduation. Perhaps she shouldn't have hung around with this member so much who filled her head with departure thoughts....
Of course the biggest graduation, least to me, belonged to Misa who had her final concert on March 19th but will be at a handshaking event this weekend. The concert was a solo one and it's the first time a Nogi member has performed one. It took place at Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo in front of 8.000 fans.
Misa sang quite a few songs with a live band, some older Nogi hits along with most of her B-side tunes and think she may have a solo one on the new album. Will be doing another post for her soon with more concert pics and other goodies but have some of them here. As you can see she was joined by a few members and then also the whole group who helped her sing "Forgetting Grief". That first pic is an advance one from the May issue of Entame, could be her last Nogi spread.
Grrrr, do like Mai so much yet have to admit I'm insanely jealous of her as at the concert she did what I've been dying to do for years.......
Should be a few posts this weekend from their appearance at the March 30th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show, as you can see a few members will also be at the April 20th show.
About time Miona makes an appearance at a TGC show, at one time she always took a stroll on the catwalk but has missed the last few and she'll also be missing her best mate....
Few recent pics from Miona's 'Recon' radio show which broadcasts on Wednesdays.
Had taken a long break from playing any Nogi singles or albums but have been getting back into so much recently, good to take a break from any group now and again. Up next is 'Barrette" which is my fave A-side. Nogi's fourth album will be coming out on April 17th, title for it is "Ima ga Omoide ni Naru Made".
Most of the album consists of the songs from their last six singles along with a few new tunes but not enough of them. However the editions with DVD's have some footage from some recent graduation concerts including Nanase's, think I read her farewell show is coming out in June. There will be four versions of the album and here are the covers.
Lot of this and that for this post, the last group one featured their 2019 calendar and in case you missed it here are the months of April and May.
Not many mag spreads the past month but have a hat trick of them today. First off is Sayuri who will be a this weekend's TGC show and she was the cover girl for the March issue of EX-Taishu.
Actually all of these for today were missed ones but think there are going to be many of them for May issues. Next up is from the February edition of UTB which features Yuki.
Saved the best for last and this set is also from the same UTB issue. Minami had the back cover and to me she's the most deserving member to have the next photobook, she looks fantastic!
