Nogizaka46: Jingu Stadium concert from August 31st screenshots #4- Erika Ikuta

 As you may know Erika is quite a talented pianist, couple of the group's singles have been centered around her playing. She had a huge turn in the spotlight at this concert as they performed three of her songs that feature her at the piano but besides that there was also a mini orchestra that played along, wonder how many if any J-Pop groups have an orchestra perform live with the group?
 Probably not many, actually thinking zero but though the songs are much slower they're really, really fabulous tunes and they are the highlight of many of their concerts. The pics of the segment are neat the bottom as you can tell as Erika is sitting at the piano but even during the group's regular poppy tunes she's such a fun and energetic person to watch. Remember at one time there was some doubt if she would continue with the group or further her piano studies, think she made the right decision staying with the group. Check out the next post as there's a huge amount of her Nogi cards for this year, also a huge set of pics here for you to enjoy.
