Nogizaka46: News on single #15, one mag spread and new blog pics

 The Senbatsu lineup was announced during the group's last "Nogizaka Under Construction" and once again you-know-who was not chosen as the center, bet she wants to finish that FU with two more letters....

 But here is the official lineup, thought they may have had 18 members but management chose to go with just sixteen.

 There's no doubt Asuka as the center was a huge surprise, most fans thought Erika was going to return to that spot. It's an okay choice though as Asuka has really grown in popularity plus you like to see different faces int hat center position.
 Two Undergirls were promoted, if you look at the pic above in the last row on the ends are Hinako, glad she finally made it and Himeka. Sad think though is with two members getting promoted means two were demoted which were Sayuri I. and Marika, bums me out a bit that she was demoted as she's really been rising on my fave member list.
 No title for the single yet, it's coming out in July 25th so would think we'll be hearing what the title is within the next few weeks. Besides this announcement there's been very little going on with the group as they're probably preparing for the two concerts taking place on June 15th and 16th which are Mai's graduation shows.
 Just one new mag spread for today, may have skipped posting about the group today but figured many fans wanted to hear the news on the next single. From the July issue of UTB are Manatsu and Rena who each have a solo spread.

 Do have quite a few new blog pics though, five pics each here from Manatsu, Chiharu who is really looking superb lately. Following her is Miria and Yumi who continues to do the best job of keeping her blog updated.
