Did a post yesterday where I mentioned that many Nogi members appeared at Saturday's 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show but was mistaken. There were plenty of gals from both of Keya's groups but Mai was the only one from Nogi at the show. It was held in Fukuoka prefecture which is far from Tokyo so perhaps that's a reason but still.... only one member?!
What I've noticed this year is that Nogi members don't appear together as often as they used to. Not as many promo events for the group plus it seems 80% of the mag spreads are of solo members, few years ago it was 80% group spreads. Keep wanting to do a group post and have been saying that for a while but except for the three upcoming graduations there's been no other Nogi news but do expect one somewhat soon. We can all breath a sigh of relieve as Mai isn't one of the members graduating so wouldn't doubt if she'll be with them until at least next Spring or hopefully later.
Sometime in the future will knuckle down and try to create a 'Top Fifty Pics of All Time' post. Not sure where the above would land but easily in my top five and it could have the inside track on being number one, is that unbeatable or what!!!! 😍 Mai's "Passport" photobook is approaching 300,000 in sales, but it's been almost two years since that PB was released and we really need at least one more from her. Mai finished 15th on my top twenty faves list which I thought was a solid spot for her but to me she has the best potential to move higher than anyone else.
Since that book came out Mai's spreads have become so conservative, not complaining as she has one of the most attractive faces around but we seriously need more pics like the above one. On to the new pics and have about seventy new ones for today, somehow this is her first solo post in about three months. First off are some new Nogi cards and it's almost time for her to give us a treat....
Since July Mai has been an exclusive model for the With magazine. No spreads from them today but have these pics from their With Online site.
As mentioned above Mai was the only Nogi member at the Autumn TGC show, perhaps there's another show coming up soon near Tokyo. She looked superb yet conservative again at the show, at it she was representing Lowrys Farm and the More magazine.
On to four mag spreads and honestly remember if this first set was posted before. Don't think so but even if they were Mai looks so terrific there's no problem with an encore viewing and these are from the July edition of Bijin Hyakka.
Magazines are wise having Mai on their cover as it must increase sales. She has the cover for all four of today's sets with this spread being from the October issue of Oggi.
Not positive but think Mai may also be an exclusive model for More, she does appear in all of their issues and these pics are for their November edition.
Final spread for today is from the November issue of Biteki. After the pics check out a short video from Saturday's TGC show though Mai doesn't appear until the twenty second mark.
