Nogizaka46: A little bit of this and that for 2019 #13....



 Yuuri's a good way to start off things and think it's her first time ever having the honor. May be her last time too as she has graduated but am planning on trying to have one final solo post for her. She's never been the fave of too many Nogi fans and then again they do have too many members but has always been one of my top ten Nogi gals. Her first photobook was released two weeks ago and has done somewhat well as it's been the second best seller both weeks with sales of 21.560 copies sold. Don't really know if this is going to be a big post or not and if it isn't will end off with a few more fabulous pics from the PB.



 Know that many read yesterday's post on who the most popular gals are here. Six Nogi members made the list but as I said was totally floored that Erika was #1 as far as post views go and it wasn't even that close. Haven't had a solo post for her in five months though, she's still very busy but hasn't appeared in that many mags or at Nogi events.
 Still haven't done that 'greatest pics of 2019' for Mai yet but I will soon, been kind of a busy stretch lately for my faves but that never lasts too long. No mag spreads or events for her today but do have some terrific new pics from the Andgirl site and she's an exclusive model for the company.









 Asuka is also an exclusive model though for about five mags or sites. One of them is 'GRL' and these are somewhat new for their Summer collection.









 Yesterday Nogi's second documentary was released to theaters, have some event pics for it. But before that have some pics as Asuka and Yuki did about four interviews for it's release, these ones here are from the Crank site.












 More Asuka as she was at yesterday's main premiere along with four other members. Manatsu has been appearing at many events recently and have to say her looks have really gotten so much better the past two years but can't ever say she was an ugly duckling. Also there was Miona but don't have many pics for her as I'm saving them for another solo post.
 The premiere took place at the TOHO Cinemas in Hibiya. Did come across an article about the documentary today that was written by a fan who didn't think highly of it. They said the film consisted of 60% Nanase and 20% Asuka which obviously meant that so many deserving members didn't get their turn in the spotlight. On a side note started watching Nanami's graduation concert two nights ago and got halfway through it. But there was an odd scene in it which had to do with the excellent song "13Nichi no Kinyoubi".
 As most know that could be the UIndergirl's most popular tune and one of my fave Nogi songs. Yuuri was the center and was during the concert but she fronted mainly Senbatsu members which was kind of strange, it was the B-side to the 2013 single "Kimi no Na wa Kibou". Now finally on those event pics.






































 Two mag spreads for today and this first one is kind of an oddity but in a good way. it's from the August edition of Brody and what it features are all of the Nogi members who host radio shows. So many Idols host shows, are they really all that popular?



























 Another group spread and not sure about the details about this mag but that's my fault as I haven't checked it out. It's from volume one of N46 Mode and what I was wondering if it's going to be a regular mag. The only group I know of that has a semi-regular one is SKE, think they publish three volumes a year. Oooops, almost forgot one thing for today. That's of Nogi's next single which will be coming out on September 4th, that announcement just happened at one of last week's Summer tour concerts. Of course it's way too early for any details but will keep all fans informed.










 Just two mag spreads but this did end up being a huge post so will hold on to those PB pics for now. But what I've been forgetting to do is include calendar pics for those fans that like to have them on their screen top, these are for July and August with Kazumi looking A++++! That's Sayuri I. for August and haven't heard anything from her for a while.
