Mai is the third member of the trio I talked about yesterday and who I did a pair of posts for. Those three would be in my top six for fave Nogi members but one thing they all had in common was a lack of solo posts for this year, actually this Mai has had a lack of them since day one. Have been promising to do a post like this for them and finally kept a promise. All three do have many pics for 2019 but never enough at one time for a solo post but without the trio there would be so many less group posts. One day may do a list of 'Hottest All Time Nogi Members'. that'd be a terrific list but also one that would be difficult to place members in a position. Do know one thing though which is that Mai would easily make a top ten list, perhaps about the fourth position?
When I was going through this year's pics was surprised at how few mags Mai appeared in, knew it wasn't many but didn't think it'd be so low though do have a bunch of other fabulous pics. One member of the trio will have another two posts as she was the opposite and had many more pics than I thought. One thing I discovered was that the pair once did a spread together for the September 2017 issue of Entame, what a great list would be is for fave members whose name begins with M.
Mai has appeared at a few fashion shows this year, of course she looked terrific though dressed quite conservatively. Pics here are from the May 20th 'Girls Award' show.
These are from the September 28th 'Girls Award' show that was held in Chiba, both times she took a stroll on the GRL stage.
Mai is an exclusive model for the andGirl site and have some splendid pics for this year, wonder if them and GRL are one and the same?
That bottom pic is one of the top ones of the year, a pic doesn't have to be a scantly clad one to be staggering. Mai is also an exclusive model for the Oggi site though rarely appears in their mags, do have some new pics which I'll save for the next group post which should happen soon.
That bottom pic too is in the running for being one of the top ones for 2019. Can't recall if I've ever done a 'pairs post' featuring her but have been working on one for this duo.
One more batch of modeling pics as Mai is also associated with the With Online site though hasn't had any pics for a while, hope they get with it....
On to the mag spreads, all of the pics look outstanding but there's only two somewhat big sets. Two pics each from the May and June issues of Oggi.
Another way too small spread from the February issue of UTB.
This set is from the May edition of Brody, Junna is the other member and has been an Undergirl for so long. Mai herself was an Undergirl for a year or two but is now a permanent Senbatsu member.
Final spread for today is the biggest set and is a new one from the November issue of BLT. May not seem it but this was one of the biggest posts of the year as there were over a hundred pics, wish I could do a few more this size for her. Forgot to add it in but if you didn't know Mai is Nogi's oldest member and she'll be turning 28 in January, really hope she sticks around until she's at least thirty. There's very few superb solo posts on YT for any member so will go back in time to May 2014 for an old series called 'BLT Nogi Quarterly', those videos are usually fairly good and this one is no exception, she was 23 at the time.
