Nogizaka46: A huge 'little of this and that post' for 2019 #18....



 Had a real long stretch in the Summer with very few Nogi posts, that's certainly changed the past few weeks. For the first time ever Sayuri I. has the honor of being the member to start things off though it's with sad news. Last week she announced her graduation though it won't be happening until the Spring. Had a feeling it'd be happening as she hasn't been doing many group activities lately but has been very busy outside of Nogi.
 Sayuri has said acting will be in her future, the vast majority of Idols say that but to me seems about 99.8% fail at it. But think she may have a chance to be a bit successful or at least be busy as she's appeared in a few dramas already and is a huge Sentai fan. She's also in a play that opened this week with Maimi from C-ute who I'll try to have a post for soon with pics from the play.



 When Nogi was created there were 36 members, with this graduation only ten of them will be left and in all honesty will any remain in three years time? Perhaps Asuka but she could be the only one, can also see many of the older second generation members leaving and soon I won't be able to recognize any member.
 Even Nogi graduates aren't all that successful in their acting careers. Nanase has been and to an extent Mai F. but that's about it, the acting market is way too saturated with Idols. That's what happens when you choose an Idol career, after it's done what other kind of skills do you have? On to some better things and yesterday had a post that featured Kaede in a mag spread.
 Rarely mention her but she's a third generation member who I do like. When Kaede joined Nogi she was attending college and seemed to have her head on straight but don't know if she's still at school but hope she is. She was at the September 27th 'Girls Award' show but had forgot to post pics of her from the event. Have some here along with some from their May 18th show.















 Also have a few Sayuri M. pics from that September 27th 'Girls Award' show. Was going to do a solo post for her but instead will add her pics into these group ones.











 Yuuri graduated near the end of June, shortly before she turned 26. But she's a graduate who I'll continue to follow as I really liked her immensely and she was Nogi's most underrated hottish member. Have some brand new pics which are from the With Online site, still looks A+.






 Back to Sayuri and she has one of her best spreads ever which is from the October 15th issue of Flash and she was their cover girl.











 May not have seemed it but there were over seventy pics in this post and this is the last bit. But this second mag spread contains 31 pics which is from the November edition of BLT. Mizuki and Yuki are the cover girls but there's also five other members in the set such as Kazumi and Mai who both look so tremendous. There's also a small set with Hinako who is close to being my fave member, after the pics is a newish group CM for Ginko.
