Nagi Inoue: Her soon to be universally acclaimed sixth post!!!!

 


 It's very late in this Blog's lifespan but wonder if Nagi's post for her first and only photobook to date has a chance to crack the top ten as far as views go. That post was done on August 16th, it currently has 8,852 views so there's little doubt it's been the most viewed post since then. Never need to have the link to that post as it's always in that section on the right hand side for most popular posts of the past thirty days. There's a few posts with over 35,000 views so Nagi will never catch those and a pair of them are for much older Nogi photobooks. Even posts ranked 25th overall have over 20,000 views but if the "Monologue" post keeps averaging over 1,100 posts a month then perhaps in two years she'll crack the top twenty but to me that book deserves to be #1 for views!!!! This is the first anniversary of the book's release, the exact date was April 22nd and as I've said before how will Nagi or any woman be able to top that close to perfect photobook????



 Nagi is the youngest woman I do posts for and always will be as I made a rule two months ago that no woman born after her February 17, 2005 DOB will ever have a post. So that makes it easy in the future for me to determine if a woman can be introduced or not, think she may be the first person to have a rule named after her! Nagi is also the future of Nogi at this blog and was one reason I wanted to start doing posts for her, after that photobook there was no way I could have ignored her! She seems like the kind of woman who will be able to have a consistent amount of posts for many years, this is Nagi's third post in four months so she will be one of only two active or graduated Nogi members to qualify for this year's faves list though the outgoing captain may be eligible one final time.



 Hmmm, now that I think about it no member has been appointed to take Minami's place and will have a post for her next week. I like Haruka so much and that's her above, she'd make a fine captain but could be too old as she'll be celebrating her 25th birthday in August. That leaves us(me) with Nagi and she'd seem to have what it takes to be Nogi's fourth captain as she's popular, seems to be the most likable 5G member and will probably be with the group at least another four years so think Nagi taking the reins of Nogi's quasi-leader would be a wise choice but many times what I think makes sense never works out. This is a decent sized post with about sixty new photos and could have made it larger but thought if I make them just a tad smaller and hold some things back that'll mean more posts such as perhaps one a month. Granted none of the new photos are nearly as alluring as these but I really like the way Nagi looks dressed as a regular gal, her height is 157 cm but at times to me does look shorter..... that first pic below is in the 'Nao Hall Of Fame for Photos'.... whew, the amount of times it's left me speechless!



 First up are the recent photos from Nagi's IG page and she also has them at Nogi's group blog, she's never been someone who posts many. Actually what just came to mind is the members of Nogi, Keya and Hina who have posted many photos at their group blog page. The busier a member is often means many fewer pictures and then the opposite is also true, wonder why it took me this long to make the connection?











 Tomorrow on MTV Japan Nagi will be the feature of a special edition of their program "Vocaloid Songs" which first begin airing in 2003. The show has featured many popular singers/groups and Nagi has said often she's a huge fan of the program. The special program will show her rehearsing in the studio, doing some recording and live singing along with an interview and other things. That's a show that probably won't be on YT but sure I can find it somewhere as that sounds like it'll be such a fun and interesting show where you wouldn't need subs to follow along. The pics below are from an interview Nagi did for the show that airs tomorrow(April 29th) at 7:00 pm Japan time, it was for the J-Magazine site and I thought it was an interesting interview. Here's the link to the site and after reading it twice I've come to like Nagi even more: J-Magazine interview








 Still can't understand why there's been such a decrease in Idol magazine spreads the last few years, even for popular groups such as Nogi. You'd think that Nagi should have at least one spread a month but it's been more like one every 3-4 months and have no new ones for today. So let's go back slightly in time for this set from the September 10th issue of Weekly Shonen Sunday, Nagi is usually the cover girl for the magazines she appears in. As far as her photos go because Nagi is just 21 in age don't include her pics prior to 2025 and don't need to as she has plenty of super duper ones on a consistent basis.










 Nagi has become a staple at these large fashion shows and also looks so fabulous at them, shame there aren't any for the next four months. On April 18th she was at the Spring "Girls Award" show that took place at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium in Tokyo. Nagi took two strolls on the catwalk and that doesn't happen too often, for this set she appeared on the Non-no stage and will end off with many new modeling pics from their site.

















 Nagi's second stroll took place on the AnMille stage, Nagi looked so terrific on both walks so can't pick out which one she looked better at....














 We've hit the finale and while there were many new Nagi photos this was one of the quickest posts I've written up in a while. For the ending have a huge set of new modeling photos from the Non-no site, in the bottom one you can see that for the second time Nagi will be their cover girl which is for their June edition. After the pics is a short video from that issue's photo shoot but if you're like me wouldn't you give anything in the world to have a video from the photo shoot for her book????
