Mona Hori: Once again the evil Dr. Nao has resurrected a huge fave from her grave....

 


 My fave members of Nogi have always been the ones from the second generation. It's been such a long time since any posts for a first generation graduate have been done and will there ever be any more? For now don't know but if you're a fan of the 2G gals then it'll be a terrific weekend for you as there will be another post coming up tomorrow! About the her grave part in the title, this is her first post since January 22nd which is eight months and one day! Up until this year going two months was such a rarity for Miona who may have had more posts than any other Idol from 2017-21. But after her only drama of the year ended in April she was so quiet until recently. Perhaps I could have done a post in May but even that wouldn't have been too large. After being so busy for close to a decade guess she did deserve a longish semi-break and will have another post for her next month.



 If you're a long time visitor of this blog then you know what a mega, mega fave Miona is of mine!!!! She made the faves list four years in a row and in 2020 was in the second position. On last year's 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list she was in the 13th spot and wonder if that should have been higher? Not going to complain at all with this being Miona's first post in eight moths as she may have been the busiest J-Pop Idol for so many years and why not take a break which of course was deserved. Not sure why but have a feeling we'll be seeing more of her in the last few months of the year and hope I'm correct, will admit I missed doing posts for her so badly!



 Could have waited three weeks until doing this post but by doing this now think another can be done in October. On the 15th Miona will be hitting the age of 27 though may do her birthday post two weeks after and combine it with Halloween. There may have been the odd missed happening from months ago so will include any of those in that post.





 It being September and also the first day of Autumn how about some older Nogi cards for the month from 2020-18, sure some had never been posted before. 





















 When Miona was with Nogi no member posted as many photos as she did at the group blog and it wasn't even close! Those were the days before any member had an IG account, of course she does now and still posts many pics with these being from the past two months. Did notice there were very few from April until early July so she wasn't doing all that much during that period.




















 In 2022 Miona did appear in a good amount of magazines but don't think she's had one spread this year. She graduated from the ar magazine last December and that's a shame as those pics were often superb. So of course there's no new spreads for today so let's go back in time for this set from the June 28, 2022 issue of Flash which had been posted but four of the pics weren't.















 To me Miona is Nogi's top actress and she was especially good in the "Zambi" group drama. But the shows she's appeared in after graduating have been so-so at best and hope her next role is much better. Nothing is upcoming so whatever her next project is wouldn't be until 2024. Not many pics here but it is nice to see Miona still appears on occasion at those large fashion shows. On September 2nd she was at the Autumn 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show and took her stroll on The Escape stage. She did look good but a bit conservative which seems to be the trend these days, hopefully she'll be at next weekend's 'Girls Award' show.









 Miona has been a model with many mags/sites but never seems to stick with any of them long enough. Will be ending off with some superb new modeling pics as she's now with Jill Stuart, these are her first modeling pics for them and hope they're not her last! Miona has her own YT Vlog and does upload videos on a consistent basis. After the pics is her newest one which she added yesterday, it features a lot of back stage footage from the above event.
