Nogizaka46: 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show pics #2 with Asuka, Miona and Misa
The one glaring omission from this show which took place on December 9th was Nanase, can't ever recall her not appearing at one. Also surprised Reika wasn't there as she's now an exclusive model for Nylon Japan. Erika is another member who wasn't there which to me is the biggest absence as she's been too AWOL lately at events.
Sayuri was at the show too but don't have any pics for her, I don't dislike her but to be honest not that big of a fan either. However may post them later on this week which would be included in her first solo post and the reason for that is Sayuri's first photobook is coming out on December 14th. Will admit she did look good at this show so why not break down and give her some attention.
As far as photobooks go Asuka had the #2 selling PB of 2017 selling 127,000 copies of "Shiosai" which came out in January, she's first up on the below pics from the show. Following her is Misa who continued the dominance of big selling Nogi photobboks. Her first one as a member of the group was released on April 25 and is titled "Hanashi o kikou ka". That book was the fifth best selling one of the year selling close to 79,000 copies. The departed Nanami also made the list and her final PB before her retirement was the fourth biggest seller with over 85,000 copies sold. Nanase was eighth on the list which was impressive as her second PB was released in September 2016, it sold 58,000 copies.
This was the 25th anniversary of the 'Tokyo Girls Collection' Winter show, the event took place in Hiroshima at the Green Arena. Last member to be featured in the below pics is Miona whose first PB came out on November 24th and to me is the best Nogi book of the year. It's sold solidly in it's two weeks out with sales close to 40,000.
Since the video is gone, good ol' Billy(bilibili) came to the rescue. Some Rick Astley would've saved the audio in my humble opinion. Speaking of PBs, Marika has got one coming out Feb 20. Guess you remember what day that is...Nanami's-ah (3rd last pic)
