Nogizaka46: A little of this and that for 2017 #35....


 Covers for Nogi's 19th single "Itsuka Dekiru Kara Kyou Dekiru" have been released and there will be five versions of the single. Nanase has the center position by herself mainly because the tune is the theme song to the "Asahinagu" film which she has the lead role in and that will be released this Friday. Here are the other covers and the lineup except for Asuka features all of the members who will be in the film.





 Bit curious how the movie will do at the box office. Most Idol films don't do that well but there's been quite a bit of promoting for the film, maybe they'll luck out and there will be no other potential blockbuster film released this weekend.
 Really not many as many mag spreads as you would think lately but perhaps we've gotten spoiled by the usually huge amounts of them over the years. Fairly sure this set was missed which features the trio of Hinako, Mai and Ranze from the September issue of BLT.





 Misa was easily the hottest gal to take a strut on the catwalk at Saturday's 'Girls Awards' Autumn/Winter show, hope a few more mags sign her up to be an exclusive model. Bit of a conservative yet dark set here from volume 23 of BLT Graph.










 Except for Miona most members have really gone downhill with their blog entries. She has five pics here along with Ami who I tend to forget about too often but in the beginning she was one of my fave members. After their pics are a few group ones and Miona will have a post soon from her appearance at the 'Girls Awards' show.


















 Here's a performance I've never seen Nogi or really any other group do. 'Music Station' held a special show yesterday which had too many performers to count, perhaps as high as a hundred. Instead of being in the studio or pre-taping the song the group took a break from their handshake event in Yokohama to perform "Influencer" live on the show.

  2. Don't think it's active any more because of the graduations of Mai F. and Seira but Nogi had a rock subgroup which Ami sang lead vocals on and she was such a fun person to watch.

  3. Ahh 'Nogidan' i think. Yeah Ami and Himeka for vocals, so cool! I liked the addition of Maaya, she's also a fun person to watch(especially on TV shows). If they do perhaps throw a phoenix down on it, i wonder who would fill in some spots.

  4. Forgot about Himeka, all except for Mai were Undergirls. Even Asuka was at the time and bet she wouldn't be allowed to play drums these days because of her popularity. Mahiro could play guitar though so just need a drummer and someone to play keyboards like Seira did. You would think there has to be someone in the group, hopefully an Undergirl, that could play the instruments as I'd like to see them in concert again. Plus unlike the Senbatsu members their songs are all live.
