Minami Umezawa: Her ultra 𝙢𝙖𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙦𝙪𝙚 post for September!!!!

 

 As I've said many. times before when I get the urge to do a post for someone nothing will stop me!!!! That was the case for today and it also worked out well as I recalled making a vow back in July to have a post the remaining six months of 2026 for Minami. This makes it eight posts to date this year for her so she'll end up with eleven for the year which will be Minami's all time personal best. It's been a slower year for posts but won't end up this year with that many less than 2025. But even though it's been slower four women who I've been posting about for a while will set personal records for most posts and there's an outside chance of that happening for six women!

 Minami hadn't qualified for the fave's list the past four years and from 2022 to mid 2025 the posts became so difficult to do for her. But in the Summer of 2025 Minami returned to her busyness and had three posts in the last five months of the year, now it's been eight posts since December 1st which is when the 'Nao Year' begins. For the three year stretch of 2019-21 Minami made the top nine on the yearly faves list and she'll finally be making a reappearance on this year's top dozen list. Not sure what her position will be but think she may have an excellent chance of cracking the top five and Minami will have the highest ranking of any current or ex-Nogi member. What's also going to be taking place soon is that Minami will be the next woman to hit the rare milestone of a hundred posts, that should be taking place in November. In the past it was easier for a Nogi member to have a hundred for there were so many group posts which kind of dried up around 2019. So the vast majority of Minami's posts have been solo ones and there were also seven for the "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!" drama and movie.

 With this resurgence over the last fourteen months the at-one-time-iffy Minami has assured herself a position on the third 'Top Twenty Faves of All Time' list and the countdown will begin in about six months. Minami is sort of popular here but her posts have never drawn the high amount of views that posts for other members have received. However she's such a massive favorite of mine and would say she's my third all time favorite Nogi member, if these posts continue she'll easily move into the second spot by the end of the year! Hmmmm, you could also say Minami does have an outside shot at being my all time favorite member and even if it doesn't take place just having a chance for it happening is quite impressive. As far as that All Time list goes unsure where Minami may end up, it could be anywhere from eighth to fifteenth but I think around tenth is where she'll end up at though that position could easily become higher.

 Sigh, wish I was at the receiving end of that toast and perhaps I am for have been saying for six years how Minami 😍 has been my all time sexiest and alluring Nogi member! And the margin for that increased with her second photobook, will have the link to her later on in the post. It's been exactly four months since Minami graduated from Nogi and for the final four years she was their third captain. Minami hasn't been overly busy but has been doing enough, back in July she was in her fifth stage play and has continued on being a model. She was very busy for a solid decade so taking it somewhat easy is something Minami definitely deserves to do. First off for today are the latest pictures from her IG page and there's not many from the past month, four are from some recent photo shoots.

 There was a 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show held last Saturday and figured there would be plenty of Minami photos from it. Which didn't happen as she didn't make an appearance and I don't know why, there are two more coming up so hope to see her at one or both of them. For no model has looked better than Minami 😍 at those fashion shows over the last seven years, to me the way she looked at the March 30, 2019 TGC show set a new standard for how to look on the runway which has never been topped!

 For ex-Idols often include older group cards for the month we're in, have seventeen below for September and think almost all are new for here. As a bonus have nine cards you've never seen before which are for the "Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken" movie that was released six years ago on September 25th, that had the makings of an ongoing series that could have had more movies which sadly never happened.

 Of course Minami's October post will feature many ghoulish cards and will have many older photos for Halloween that you've never seen before.

 Minami was in a few magazines that had graduation specials but there haven't been any new spreads for two months. So let's go back in time and the movie mentioned above came out in the same week as Minami's first photobook which is my second favorite of all time! It was #1 for so five years and did get eclipsed but least that was a book of an ex-Nogi mate. For her first book Minami had this spread for the October 2, 2020 issue of Friday so exactly six years ago, Minami was the cover girl and she usually is for the magazines she appears in.

 Minami's second photobook "Toumei na Kakugo" aka Transparent Resolve was released on February 3rd of this year, about two weeks later she announced her graduation. On June 1st did a post for the flawless book and didn't think about it until now but that could be my number one book of the year, no woman has ever had that honor twice. To date the amazing book has received 1,340 views which is quite high though to be honest thought it would be over 2,000 by now but as mentioned Minami has many fans here though isn't nearly as popular as other Nogi members. So have the link to the book if you've missed that post or if you want to gape at the broiling pictures once again:

 For most Minami posts have many super duper modeling photos from the Classy site and that word does suit her well! There weren't as many pics from August but after taking it easy for the Summer Minami is back to being a FT model for them so there's plenty of photos for September which will be in her next post. The batch below are her August photos though the first top pic is an older one from last year, hard to explain why but I love the way Minami looks in that pic so it deserved to be seen again! After the pics is her Nogi graduation song "Another Sun" and I never knew about it until now, it's not a fabulous song but good enough and it's nice to hear Minami singing solo. It also features some older moments from her Nogi days and she looks too good to believe in the video.... that I've said quite often about Minami....
