Nogizaka46: 2020 Magazine scans #12 plus a few other tidbits....


 Not sure how long it's going to last but there really hasn't been that much of a slowdown with Nogi posts or actually Idols in general. About the only difference is there haven't been as many solo posts for Nogi members but seems there's been two or three group posts every week. I've been helping them out with some oldie pics that had never been posted before plus there's been a fair amount of mag spreads but have a feeling they'll be slowing down drastically within the month. Actresses seem to be the ones affected the most because of the current standstill but think I may be able to squeeze in a few posts this weekend or at least will give every effort to.
 What I also need to do is post about day one of a duo's New Caledonia trip. It's a long video at about two hours and features the lead off girl for the second post in a row, Hinako. She's probably had about 150 or so pics this year, with 250 needed for an Idol looks like she'll finally qualify for the yearly top twenty list. With her on that trip which took place back in February was her best mate Miona and if it's slow the next few days may have part one of the trip this weekend as the show is subbed, coming up soon will be their second day at the island.



 Speaking of lists won't be having the first official preliminary post for this year's top twenty until the end of July, will have four in all. But next month will have a pair of them and haven't had a regular list post in about four months. But they won't be lists from me and instead you faithful viewers. One will be which were the most ten viewed posts from December 1st until May 31st, currently three photobooks are far ahead of all others. List two will be for which women's posts get the highest average view counts, will also have a top ten and the only criteria for that one is that a person needs at least four posts since December 1st and right now the total is close to twenty.


 Have four mag spreads for today and though there's been a good amount of them recently do expect them to slow down as magazines aren't having photo shoots these days and there's only so many spreads in their vaults. Do have some new modeling pics once again for Yuki whose second photobook is coming close to selling 180,000 copies. This past month she's had about 35 pics from the Bis site though she doesn't appear that often in their mags.










 Lately in these group posts have been featuring a quartet of members and their promo cards for the 'NogiKoi' app game. Will be slowing down on them a bit as there's only so many cards plus I don't include pics from the forth generation members and just four gals from the third. One of them is Minami who has become such a huge fave of mine and who knows, maybe in a year or so she'll be the only member I post about. She leads off and all of these cards hadn't been posted yet, each member has ten. Following her is the incomparble Hinako and it was nice to see someone leave a comment as they also think she needs new adjectives to describe her....





















 Minami has been having so many pics in these group posts though rarely has them at once for a solo post. So soon will be collecting all of her pics for this year's posts and have a few solo ones for her. The 'NogiKoi' app game first came out at the end of 2016, perhaps the beginning of 2017. Sure there had to be at least one event for it but didn't find anything about one, need to work a bit harder. There was a mini one held last September 15th at the 'Tokyo Game Show 2019'.
 Five members were there including Asuka and a few 4G gals whose pics I won't include. Also in attendance was Miona and I am wondering a few things about her. Photobook #2 is coming out in thirteen days yet besides a few advance pics there's been no promoting for it. No mag spreads, interviews or anything else and I'm wondering what's going on? Hopefully there will be a few spreads coming up soon and I really want/need to do a solo post for her as she's only had two this year.












 Sure every fan has noticed how I title these Nogi posts either '2020 Magazine scans #__' or 'This and that for 2020 #__'. Was thinking what was the difference between the two and figured out when there's four or more spreads it's called a magazine post, less than four obviously means a 'this and that' post. So let's get to the four of them today and leading off is Yuki whose spreads have returned to being somewhat conservative, this set is from volume 31 of 'TV Life Premium'.








 A member who we haven't been seeing too much of in these posts lately has been Sayuri, perhaps I haven't been working hard enough at including her. She's been an exclusive model with CanCam for about four years and this set is from their June issue. With the crisis in Japan and most other countries of course bet we may not hear any gal talk about graduating. But to me the next first generation member who would be departing is Sayuri who will be turning 28 in August. Kind of hope she stays along with a few other long time members as I hate seeing the group get too young.









 Have been saying for a few weeks that the pics from Mizuki's first photobook will be coming up soon but will wait just a tad longer. June 1st is my estimate and the reason for waiting two more weeks is that it'll give it a chance to be the number one viewed post for the second half of the year. She's in this next spread along with her two "Eizouken" mates and can't wait for the fourth show to be subbed as it is a fun series. Of course her two mates from the show are Asuka who after being just
so-so in the "Zambi" drama has been fairly decent in this series. Third member is Minami who I think has been the best of the trio in the show and am still holding my breath for her photobook. This set promoting the show is from the May 25th issue of Big Comic Spirits. It's also dated for June 1st as weeklies are only putting out issues every other week.









 Had posted some outtake pics from this final set but never the spread which is from the June issue of With. Once again Minami is in a mag and she just looks so ultra alluring though may have to say in this spread that Yui may top her and that doesn't happen often. She's had a solo post every month this year and will be working on having a second one for her this month. Couple posts ago had a promo video from With featuring the duo. A second came out about a week ago and though it's ten minutes long it's highly recommended.
