Nogizaka46: More of 'A little bit of this and that for 2016' #13

 Can't believe I put up with her antics.... upon further reflection I think it's easy to understand why!
Nogi's second album comes out in two weeks, would think it'll do quite well but the versions are a bit pricey. Their first album "Toumei na Iro' came out in January 2015 selling 222,000 copies in it's first week. Don't know if it exceeded expectations but that seems like a good figure, total sales were close to 320,000.

 Lately these Nogi posts have been a mish-mash of many things but I like these kind a bit better. Just one new mag spread for today but it's a fabulous one with Erika as she's the Flash cover gal for their 'Best of Spring' issue.

 Nogi has had a monopoly at the Hustle Press site as their last three monthly women have been Nogi members. Next month is no different as in a surprise Minami will be their monthly gal.

 Guess I can forgive Nanami for that shower prank, doctors say I'll be back to normal in a week. What more is there to say as she looks stupendous in these new NogiKoi cards.

 Instead of individual blog pics thought today we'd have some group ones.

 Finally hitting the end, Nogi posts never tend to be small ones. Six members have promo videos for AirWeave, have posted two of them already and for today we have Nanase's video.

Mirei Kiritani: Sensation press conference pics and new Sapporo CM

Hopefully rested up enough so we will be hearing more from her....

.... sigh, sadly it wasn't me who took that pic.

  Funny how when you talk about something certain events tend to happen right after it. Two weeks ago was wondering who may be the next of my faves to get hitched, it hasn't happened yet but the next day we heard news of who may be walking down the aisle soon.
 Yesterday made a comment about how too many of my huge faves have taken extended holidays at the same time and how it's been months since I've posted about any of them. No doubt Mirei read her name in that post and quickly jumped into action, know a place she can jump into next.
 Before the main news Mirei will have the lead in another drama that's starting up in July titled "Suki na Hito ga Iru Koto". It's going to be a lighthearted love drama and has an excellent time slot as it'll be airing on Fuji-TV at 9:00 pm on Mondays which is a prime slot. Hoping it'll be better than her last few dramas or at least the subbed ones, Mirei's movies are usually quite entertaining but can't say the same for her dramas though.
 Sure there will be much news about it here coming up, still have about two months until it begins. On to the main theme for this post which is about the 'Sensation' press conference which took place on May 11th. It's a mega music festival that will be taking place this September 3rd in Chiba, quite a long list of groups will be there from Japan and many from this side of the world. Miirei was appointed ambassador of the concert so hopefully that means we'll be seeing more of her promoting the concert. Shame I couldn't find more pics but still looking.....wow....wow....wow....wow....

 Other Mirei news is a new CM for Sapporo Zero, as far as I know it's not referring to her weight. The CM is only 30 seconds long but this is a nine(!) minute video as it includes the 'making of it'.

Nogizaka46: A little bit of this and that for 2016 #12- New blog pics and May cards

 Wow.... why is Mai so uptight, she's the one who peeked at me getting out of the shower!!!!

 Good thing someone has my back(and hopefully more), should be seeing more of Nanami as she'll be the host of next week's Girls Locks! radio show plus she'll be the cover gal of BLTgraph #8.

 Obviously you know I'm a huge fan of Nogi and C-ute but wish they weren't dominating the posts like they have been, bet 3/4 of the posts these last two weeks have featured them. There's been slow periods before as far as my faves go but this has to be the slowest one of all. Bet it's been at least two months since there's been any new posts for Yuko, Gakky, Mirei, Tsubasa and a few others that I enjoy posting about. Hope this long stretch of inactivity means we'll be hearing more than ever from them soon, besides missing them would like a bit more variety around here.
 Even on the slowest days of slow days can always find something to post about Nogi, don't they ever sleep? With the new album coming out on May 25th would think unless I take a day off there will be at least one post a day for new happenings and sure that makes most here happy as Nogi posts continue to be among the most popular.
 There really aren't all that many new things but then again there are 35 new pics and a video, there truly is no such thing as a slow day for them. First off are some brand new cards for May featuring Nanase, Erika, Miona, Minami and Nanami.

 Have a few recent blog pics with five for each member. First off is Himeka who until a few days ago hadn't realized she had a sister in BABYMETAL, perhaps that should be a group to introduce here. Following her is Yumi who really has been doing a superb job keeping her blog updated.

 Besides being the cutest member by far Hinako could also be the funniest, think another solo post is overdue for her. Today she did another blog entry written in English though she said tomorrow it'll be back to being written in Japanese. Following her is Manatsu whose blog I don't check out enough but did notice she's another one who does a good job updating it.

 Six members of the group have new individual promo videos for AirWeave. Will try to post all of them, had one yesterday and for today we have Marika's video as she comes close to smiling in it.
