Nogizaka46: A little bit of this and that for 2018 #11....





 That bottom pic is one oldie, it's when Miona was first introduced as a new member and at that presentation is when it was announced she would be the center of Nogi's seventh single 'Barrrette". Five years later it remains of one my fave singles from Nogi and if it's been a while since you've heard it have a video at the top of it.
 Wasn't going to do it but changed my mind about it and that's for having a 'Fave Nogi Members' list. The previous two featured my top ten but am going to make a huge change for this year. Am going to include the Keya members on the list and was thinking of making it a top sixteen list, with so many graduations my list of huger faves has been shrinking so thought why not a '46' list? Do like many Keya members and will have more info in a preliminary post which I'll have in the next two days, as of now clueless who would be #1. Misa is disqualified as she's already finished first once plus I don't plan on including Nanase which leaves a huge battle for the top spot.


 And above are the pair who have finished first on both lists, kind of difficult choosing between them who would be my all time Nogi member. Lot of new things for today though not a lot of one thing but am expecting many mag spreads in the next few weeks for the group's 22nd single which is coming out on November 14th.
 As far as graduations go Ami is one that is sadly going to be departing and she was one of the reasons I got into Nogi so much. She's the group's best member on their variety shows as she's their funniest and most witty member. She announced on her blog that December 15th will probably be her last day as a Nogi member, on that day she'll be attending her final handshake event. Few various Ami pics here along with some from the Cinema.ne website, she's been with them for a while being a movie reviewer and these are pics from her last two reviews. Before I forget and I had until today which was that on October 18th she celebrated her 24th birthday.













 Ami and a few others have been buried as an Undergirl for too long, that's why so many have been leaving this past year. They are a popular as their own group and recently had a mini tour in September and October, pics here are from a Zepp Hokkaido show with the bottom one being of when Ami announced her graduation. The third generation members also performed at their shows as the Undergirls may have less than ten members now.












 The members have really slowed down with their blog pics this year except for a few gals. One is Miria who has unfairly never been promoted to being a Senbatsu member. Thought she had such a bright future with Nogi but that isn't working out as it should. She has the first batch of pics followed by Ayane who had one turn in the spotlight on Nogi's 21st single, two pics are from their 'sailor Moon' play. Bottom pics are from the third generation member Kaede who I really like and for the first time she'll be a Senbatsu member on the upcoming single.



















 May as well continue on with Kaede, after never having a solo spread she's now had two in one week and this set is from the November edition of Bubka.







 Tend to forget too many things these days, was going to have a post in July for Miona's Nogi cards from January to June. Now I have no clue whether it was done or not, will still be doing a post for her second half cards and if the first half was missed then it'll be one gigantic post. These are a few recent new ones.







 Actually thought this post was going to be much bigger but just have two mag spreads left. Both feature Asuka and no Nogi member has appeared in more mags than her since the beginning of 2017. First set is from the October 12th issue of Friday.





 Second set is from volume 28 of Flix Plus which is a movie magazine and it was promoting her "Ano Koro, Kimi wo Oikaketa" film which came out on October 5th.
