Nogizaka46: The first Yuki Yoda bonus post of 2021!!!!

 


 Yuki's second photobook definitely had it's share of sweltering pics but my fave of her has always been that top one. Not sure why I called this a 'bonus post' though it seemed to work well last year as she was the #1 popular gal here by a wide margin. Perhaps the bonus should refer to there being a Nogi post as they've become a rarity the past two months though this now makes two in a week. Tomorrow their 26th single is coming out and kept thinking because of that there would be an avalanche of Nogi activities which hasn't happened. That's extremely puzzling to me but maybe these two posts will break the ice and February will be back to normal for Nogi posts and for other faves too.



 These days it seems so much more difficult to post about Nogi members save for a handful of them, the hardest have become the first and second generation members who are my top ones naturally. But I've really become a Yuki fan over the past year and was thinking perhaps this could be the first of a monthly series like I've tried to do for a Keya member. Yuki is one gal who is usually quite busy and will make every effort to do a post a month for her in 2021. Think it may be possible, in 2020 she had nine posts in a ten month stretch and that would be close enough for me.


 Fans would definitely like to see a post a month for as mentioned in 2020 she was the most popular woman here and that's by how many views their posts get. Think her devoted fan base just like any post for Yuki as it was kind of surprising her "Mukuchi na Jiken" photobook post was only her third most viewed for last year. That PB has sold close to 220,000 copies and made the top ten for sales again last week though it sold only 700 copies but sales for everything are so low the last two months. In case you missed viewing those sultry pics here's the link to it: Yuki's second PB






 Mentioned the PB again as I found some more outtake pics from the photo shoot which took place in the southwest section of Sicily. Now the question is when will PB #3 be coming out, with such high sales it's a given that we'll be seeing another one.









 Have a good mix of things for today, some older ones like the above pics but also a huge amount of new happenings. On February 28th the Spring 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show will be held. Just visited their site and for now no Nogi or Keya members are listed to attend but bet there will be ten there between the groups, twenty if you count Hina. Was going to post some older Yuki pics from a TGC show but to my amazement she's only appeared at two. But she's been at many more 'Girls Award' shows and they cancelled all of their 2020 ones so hope they return this year. Pics here are from their Spring/Summer 2018 show.










 Few monthly Nogi cards that were missed from last year.










 Have some newish Nogi cards and the series is called 'Always With You'. It's easy to tell if pics are new or not as last June Yuki cut her hair on the special 'Nogi 46 Hours TV' show and it was the first time she had it cut in five years. 











 Those bottom pics rate an A+ from me and wonder if she could be a airline attendant? At 152 cm Yuki is Nogi's shortest member and isn't there a height requirement to be an attendant? Know if I was the president would waive that requirement for her! Not many recent modeling pics, these are from the Bis site and some were in their January issue but these are 'clean versions' with no lettering. That second pic is quite oki doki and you can tell how short she is in that pic.








 Yuki is also a model for GRL and Maquia but not many new pics as of late. That's okay because there should be some soon and that'll be a good start for her second monthly post. Have a few pics from her Nogi blog but could have had many more.








 Just viewed Yuki's first movie which is "Grand Blue" and it was a so-so film. Bet a lot of fans were hoping there would be a lot of swimsuit pics as it was set on an island but there were actually zero. The film was mainly about two college guys who wanted to join a diving club and the struggles they had in doing so. The pair were really off the wall and while they were quite funny after a while the jokes became a bit tiresome but all in all it's worth a view if you're a fan. Her character's name was Chisa who lived on the island with her father and sister who is also a fave of mine, the female cast featured many gravure models who you all like immensely but there were very few swimsuit scenes. 





















 The best scene was towards the end when her character Chisa was drunker than a skunk, she had guzzled a few bottles of Sake thinking it was water. Yuki in that 'Nogi 46 Hours' show that aired in June had mentioned she had recently tried alcohol and wanted to build up her tolerance, at the time beer was her top drink. We've hit the end and though it didn't take long to write up there were over a hundred pics and as I've said enjoy doing these larger posts with a lot of variety. Final set of pics are some mighty fine ones and she was the cover girl for the January issue of 20+ Sweet. Following the pics is a brand new Nogi CM for Cup Star where Yuki plays a detective ala Holmes. It came out only four hours ago yet already has over 50,000 views.
