Do mainly quick reviews on things I've watched, try to make the reviews brief, quick to read through with not too many spoilers, just whether they're good or bad and why I thought so plus whether you may find them enjoyable. Many, many screenshots are included from everything I've watched plus any video trailers if they're available. Hope you find something that interests you, don't hesitate to comment, arigato gozaimasu!

Nogizaka46: 2016 magazine scans #37 and more....

Sigh, I did but once again the camera ran out of film.....

Mentioned yesterday would be in the hunt for their June 16th concert, as far as I know it wasn't recorded or streamed which no doubt leaves a few million fans disappointed. Just popped in my small brain as I started this post is that the concert was probably recorded as I wouldn't doubt if it comes out as a DVD shortly, maybe more $$ is made that way instead of a live stream.
Bit of a quiet stretch is coming up, the group's next concerts won't be until the end of July when they'll be in Osaka for a few shows. That'll be the time when single #15 is released, so far no title for it but would imagine the quiet stretch will be for them recording the songs and videos. As far as their second album goes in it's third week the sales were about 10,000 copies sold bringing the total to 300,000, should top the sales of their first album by the end of the month.
No clue yet what Mai's future plans will be, wouldn't think she would continue in the entertainment field. She was a popular member but not nearly as much as a few others, perhaps the non-Idol life is something which appeals to her as she's now 25 and it's time to start thinking long term. Two mag spreads today and Mai is in the first one which is from volume 32 of UTB+.

Nanami was correct above as she does deserve many more solo spreads, a few a week would be a good start to satisfy my cravings. Bit of a conservative set compared to her last few spreads but still looking better than ideal in the July issue of EX-Taishu. Also next week she'll be the host of the 'Girls Locks!' radio show so there will hopefully be a post for that.

Two weeks ago Nanase was on the "Another Sky" show as they had sent her to Paris and the show was devoted to her trip there. Yes, that is Miori she's next to in a couple of the pics and they certainly would make for a nice pairing.
