Nogizaka46: The piquant 'Mai Shiraishi post' #42....


 As hard as it is to believe this is Mai's first solo post since the end of April. it's not that she's not a busy person for she is but unfortunately too many of her activities aren't as interesting as they once were. As many know do enjoy doing lists and just finished up one on Friday which was who are the popular women here by views on their posts. Of course Mai made the list but in kind of a shocker she was just in 12th place, all of her posts get a healthy amount of views but doesn't have many that garner many thousands but least she is very consistent.
 One list I've mentioned is an all time 'fave Nogi pics' list. What makes it so hard is that there's so many of them how can one decide what the top 25 or fifty would be? Plus the fabulous pics keep coming out but have slowed down a tad, that pic above could have the inside track on being my #1 Nogi pic and has my imagination run wild with that pic. Though this next one is so darn close, should actually have a list of Mai's all time best pics.


 Think there's a lot of pics for this post but not as much variety as there once was. Mai has really slowed down on her mag spreads and when she does have them they're so much more conservative than they once were. That's okay to me and sure her army of fans too as she's such a classy woman and there's nothing wrong with her not dressing skimpy.
 One thing I have been missing is Mai appearing at events, think her last one took place in January though she does take a stroll on the catwalk at most of the huge fashion shows. Mai was also in the Spring drama "Ore no Sukato, Doko Itta?" which I haven't seen yet as I don't think it's been subbed. But if it has will be checking it out and there's one main reason for that....



 Whew, what a bride she's going to make and as a matter of fact that's another special post I was thinking of which are of Nogi members being dressed as brides though no honeymoon night pics...


 One thing that hasn't slowed down that much are Nogi cards and have many of them for today with all of them being new for here.



















 V-Day cards were a bit old but hadn't posted them yet. Actually have many more cards than those but am holding back about twenty of them as I have a feeling there may be another Mai post coming up soon as she's going to be the cover girl for the next issue of Anan.



 As far as spreads go just have two small spreads for today, I can remember when she used to appear in five or more every month. This small set is for the drama that was mentioned above and is from the May 24th edition of TV Life.




 Mai is an exclusive model for Sweet though doesn't appear in every monthly issue but she was in their June edition. Top two pics are new ones from their site.









 Mai also used to be an exclusive model for the Ray magazine but left them over a year ago. But she paid them another visit as she was their cover girl for their June issue and the pics for that were in her last post. But the mag posted many pics of the photo shoot at their site and in all honesty most are better than the spread.












 As mentioned many times before it's a Nogi rule these days that when you have a solo post you must include you-know-who!






 Pics here are from a late May interview with the Model Press site talking about Nogi's new single. Their next one is scheduled to come out on September 4th though no info about it yet.







 Last Mai post had some pics from the April 20th 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show. But found a few others which are here along with a few of the ones in that older post. Lately she's looked a bit drab at these fashion shows but not at this one....


















 Final batch of Mai pics here and this ended up being a fairly huge post. On May 18th she was at the 'Girls Award' Spring/Summer show and once again looked oki doki. But my fave pics are the first three which were from after the show and she's one of my fave '46' members though of course she's not with Nogi.
 Mai has been appearing in so many CM's this year, so many that she had the third most screen time for the first half of the year for the CM's. However don't think I've ever posted any of them so after the pics check out a pair of videos for a 'Project Tagatear' game. Second video is a behind the scenes one which is really worth viewing.
