Nogizaka46: The 'Asuka Saito post' #6(?)....
Asuka now has the fifth most posts of any Nogi member yet I think this is only her sixth solo one which would put her in about tenth place. Seems she must have ten or more pics in every group post and perhaps should have put them together for a few more solo posts. Will be doing that in the future, not just for her but most members as I'll be cutting way back on the group posts which will hopefully mean many more dedicated to the older members I enjoy.
Could have waited until this weekend to do this post but then again just may have two of them for any Asuka fans and she has plenty these days as she just may be Nogi's most popular member. Don't think that's the case here though but then again perhaps it is as she's had too few solo posts to really know. On Saturday Asuka will be at a 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show and should have many pics from it. So if you add in what I have already and those that would bring the total to 100 new pics, decided then why not have two solo posts for her this week?
These two posts could also be considered early birthday ones as Asuka will be turning 21 on August 10th. But that just got me thinking about why she hasn't had more solo posts. Do have that rule for Idols where you need to be twenty to have your own posts so bet that's a huge reason why there's been a shortage of them. Did have one though for her January 2017 photobook when she was just eighteen and that brings the question up where is her second one? That's one of the biggest selling Idol books in history with sales close to 200,000 copies sold, just a bit surprising with her popularity there hasn't been a second one yet.
These days it seems there can't be a Nogi event without Asuka present. She's the youngest first generation member and perhaps management is now considering her to be the 'Voice of Nogi'. She was there with a few others on July 5th for the premiere of Nogi's second documentary and heard she may have more screen time than any other active member. There hasn't been a group event since then but they do seem to come in bunches.
For the documentary she did an interview with 'The TV.jp' site.
Asuka is an exclusive model for a few companies, one of them is GRL. Have posted so many of their pics but somehow there's even more new ones at their site. Kind of prefer her conservative style, so many Idols seem to disrobing more than ever these days she still has a bit of classiness to her.
Sweet magazine is another site for which she's an exclusive model and she'll probably be representing them this weekend at the TGC show.
Small spread from Sweet's August issue. Do have at least one more spread which will be in this weekend's post and is much larger.
Have included Asuka cards in group posts so you may have seen these before but nothing wrong with an encore viewing.
This will be the final thing for today, sure there's fifty or more pics which should carry any fans over to this weekend. Asuka is now a spokesperson for Veloce and has a new CM for them that was released today that you can view after the pics.
