Nogizaka46: A little bit of this and that for 2020 #11....


 Know what I mentioned yesterday that there was a good chance there would be no posts until Wednesday, perhaps even Thursday. Obviously I was very mistaken as this is the second post today but am close to 100% certain the next one won't be until Wednesday. Almost always take Tuesdays off and on Mondays leave you with a Nogi post. Was going to continue that trend but thought to myself it'll be nice having two days off so hence have the post tonight. Don't know why I need the time off as things where I reside are somehow getting worse, the restrictions about going outside have become even worse and come Wednesday so many of us are going to be home bound.
 Few lagers are needed over the next few days then to drown my sorrows which is never a bad thing and it also means can have a mini marathon of viewing older Nogi concerts, say pre-February 2017. Once again leading off with Yuki whose photobook is approaching 175,000 copies sold, these top four pics are from it and three have never been posted before. But the PB sold just 2,239 copies last week as sales on everything from A to Z have dropped by such massive amounts.



 Mizuki's first photobook finally dropped out of the top ten this week after being there since late January. Will give it another week or two before I post the pics from it, figure sales are so horrendous these days why affect them at all and here's a few pics you may not have seen from it.





 Last Nogi post had many Yuki pics from the Bis site. That post was only four days ago and since then quite a few new pics have been added.














 To make these posts bigger these days have been adding in many older 'NogiKoi' promo cards, that's a mobile game of the group. Don't think any of the cards have been posted before and if they were it was many years ago. Have been featuring a quartet of members, have the same amount today and will lead off with Asuka and will be recapping her current drama soon which also has two other Nogi gals. Did include some Manatsu cards in one of the previous posts but not these ones.

















 Just like the previous post will have a pair of graduates, Misa leads off and we know what she's been up to her since she left as I do include any news of her in these group posts. After her was a big fave of mine who is Ami and she was Nogi's funniest member. She was scheduled to be in a play beginning in June and then another one for July, sure both have been cancelled or postponed. But she got me thinking of a different kind of post which I may do for Nogi graduates. Not the recent ones but of my faves who left between 2015-18 and I haven't kept tabs on enough of them so that's something I'll be working on.

















 No clue when Mai will be departing, she and all fans want to see her have a few graduation concerts but that may not be for many months. Almost always have her spreads in solo posts but just had one two weeks ago and have a feeling her next one may not be for a while. So have her new spread for today and Mai is the cover girl for the May 21 issue of Young Jump. They're labelled as #22/23 because many weeklies are only publishing an issue every other week.










 Final spread for today belongs to Manatsu and she too is a cover girl which is for the May 8th edition of Friday. Her second PB was the fifth best seller last week and has sold 55,000 copies to date. That bottom pic rates an A++++, whew....
