Nine days without a Nogi post and if not for this one have a feeling that stretch would have been much longer. Few may have read my mini Nogi rant from ten days ago and to put it mildly am not happy with the lineup for the group's next single. Will be having just as many solo posts as always but it seems to be a quiet period for many members, not sure when the next one will be. But will be slowing down with the group posts as I expect too many spreads will be featuring the trio of members in the front row, those three are less than eighteen years old and am just so disappointed with management pushing little girls which is what they are.
Mai is certainly no little girl and she'll be hitting the age of 27 on August 20th. Have a strong feeling it'll be her last b-day as a Nogi member but at least I don't think her departure date will be until next year. You have to figure she'll be the center for her final single but with the next one coming out on September 4th that could mean there won't be another single until next year. Doubt if they would put out another single in November so least we'll be able to enjoy Mai for another eight months or so, my prediction for her graduation is next February for their birthday concerts.
Seriously hope we'll also see a graduation photobook, it's been close to 2 1/2 years since "Passport" came out and that PB is a tough one for Mai to top or really any Idol. Lot of terrific pics for today though as usual none are gravure ones as she hasn't done a spread in that vein since her mini 'White Graph' photobook from last December. What I really have missed is Mai appearing at events, think she was at one in January but that's been it for the year. She does appear at those big fashion shows but even with many Nogi events this year she hasn't been at one of them.
Those pics above aren't new but was at their site and decided to have those pics once again. Bit of a slowdown for group cards but do have many for today and all should be new for here.
Don't think Mai is a model for Flash but visited their site too and they have many new ones of her there along with some mini interviews.
But Mai is an exclusive model for Sweet and many pics from their site.
Not a huge set though from Sweet's August issue.
In that recent 'Who is the most popular woman here' by their post view averages was surprised that Mai only finished in the 12th position, definitely thought she would have been so much higher. Went back about twenty posts for most gals but went back 28 for Mai hoping to include the views from her "Passport" PB but would have had to go back about 35 or so posts. Thought this was going to be a bigger post but this is the final set which is at least a terrific spread as she's the cover girl for the July 24th edition of Anan. After the pics have a short video that is a behind the scenes one for her latest CM for Softbank and she truly looks so stupendous in it.
