NMB48: A little bit of this and that....
Wasn't sure if the above video was in their last post so have it again in case it wasn't, even if it was in the last post it's a darn good video which merits an encore view. It's from the group's performance at the March 30th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show. Not that huge of a post but have been trying to make them a bit smaller which means I can do more posts plus it doesn't make sense holding on to things for too long.
The group's first single sans Sayaka came out on February 20th and is titled "Tokonama Seiza Musume". It was #1 on the charts it's first week but the sales weren't as impressive as previous singles. However it has shown some legs as the sales have remained somewhat consistent and the total sold to date is about 260,000 copies.
However there's some very good news for this post and it's the best I've heard in months. There were two huge Idol faves of mine who have deserved a photobook for many years, one is from SKE and it was announced in February she would have one this Summer. That left MIRU(!) and my second wish from a genie has come true as yesterday it was revealed her first PB would be coming out in June. This is one book I'm looking forward to, perhaps more than any other one as Miru could be the hottest current idol around. Two advance pics were released for the photobook, that top pic could be the top one of the year.... decade.... century.... eternity.....
Shame there's there's no new mag spreads with her but sure there will be many of them in the next two months. As a matter of fact there's only two new ones for today but there are a few other things and the total of new pics for today is probably around forty. NMB has some members who do many activities outside of the group and need to start posting more about them. Akari is one member who does a lot of modeling for a few clothing companies, will have some of those pics in future posts. She was at the March 30th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show and have a few pics from that. There's also four pics from the Modelpress site which are from the January 12th TGC show but didn't come out until March 24th.
My second fave member is Sae who is just so underratedly(?) hot. Wish she was in more spreads but she has been in many the past year, guess I just can't get enough of her and she turned 22 on March 30th. Have some pics here from a recent Modelpress interview she did for the 'ANDGEEBEE' clothing site, also have many pics from their Spring collection.
On to the two new mag spreads and have been noticing Yuuri appearing in many recent ones. But found out last week she just released her first PB ten days ago which is the reason for all of the spreads. In it's first week the book was third on the Oricon charts selling 6,164 copies, not sure if that's an okay number as she may be NMB's most popular. This set has some outtake pics from the book and is from WPB #15.
Nagisa is also such a hot member, the ages of the gals is slowly inching up as she'll be turning 23 this August. This final fabulous spread is from the February edition of BLT.
