Nogizaka46: Mai Shinuchi current happenings #1....

 That title is correct as this will be the first of two Mai posts for today, will have the second one tonight which will probably be morning where you reside. Mai just released her first photobook a week ago, that above video is a fun one to view as there's some Nogi members who pore over it and like us were in amazement....

 And why wouldn't they be in amazement as the Mai's PB may be the top Nogi one for the year which is really saying something or least until the next one is released on November 24th. Mai held an event today for the PB, pics from that that will make up most of the next one as there ended up being so many needed two posts.

 No new mag spreads for today but Mai has had at least one in the last three or four Nogi mag spread posts. When a member has a photobook the amount of spreads really increases, hope now that the PB is out her appearances don't start dwindling. There's mainly just two new happenings for this post but the total amount of new pics is well over thirty and there's two good videos. Here's two more pics from the book, we all knew Mai was hot but not this sweltering....

 Saitama must be one of the bigger prefectures as so many Idols seem to hail from there. That's where Mai comes from and on November 14th she was a special one day ambassador for their 'Citizen's Day', just checked and Saitama by it's population is the fifth biggest prefecture. The event was held in the city of Urawa and Mai did a bit of promoting for the PB at the event. She also visited three Tower stores after but there was no release party for the book though the 14th was the day of it's release.

 Mai is the busiest Nogi member by far, she still works her day job at Nippon Broadcasting and as she smartly realizes being an Idol isn't a lifetime profession. She also hosts the popular 'All Night Nippon' radio show on Wednesday nights and she's been doing that for a while. On the 14th, which was when the PB came out, Mai was the host for 'Showroom', pics here are from her appearance. The show is over forty minutes but just have a 12 minute segment from it as the original full show video was deleted.
