Nogizaka46: 2019 Magazine scans #18 plus many other tidbits....



 Usually when a huge fave of mine is going to celebrate a birthday hold some pics back for a while and have a massive post for the occasion. That's not going to happen with Mai this year as she's virtually disappeared lately, can't ever recall her ever being so quiet for so long. Personally I don't understand why she's decided to take a step back, for a few months I can understand but it's been most of the year. She will be at the next TGC show taking place in three weeks but that's about the only upcoming event for her.
 Nogi's 24th single is coming out in the first week of September but as I've mentioned won't be posting about it. I'm quite disgusted at how young the front line is and how many deserving Undergirls were dropped from the ranks of being a Senbatsu. So won't be posting about any fourth generation members and have a feeling not many long time fans are enthused about them especially when it means we see so much less of Mai and others.


 "Passport" was released thirty months ago, where's the followup to it?! Can say the same for Miona as her first and only PB came out close to two years ago, it sold over 100,000 copies which made it one of Nogi's best sellers. Been wanting to do a solo post for her but there's been close to zero going on lately with her too, here's a few new cards and some pics from her 'Recon' radio show. Do have a few other new pics but will hold on to them as I really want to have another solo post soon.













 Have even a few more Nogi cards though do have even more as there's this new series called 'My Museum', want to find out a few more details about it first.

















 Had these desktop calendars in the last group post, in case you missed them here they are again.



 The other Mai in the group could be my fave with that name and sadly there's never enough pics for her own post. But always seem to have a fair amount of pics for these posts such as these recent ones from her 'All Night Nippon' radio show.








 Plus some stupendous pics from the Oggi site though she's never in their mags.








 But I prefer Mai's pics from andGirl and she also doesn't appear in their mags.








 As far as modeling pics go can't forget about Minami whose hotness level is off the charts, wonder why she hasn't been appearing in any mags lately? These are from the With Online site.









 Didn't see her listed on the models who were supposed to appear at the next 'Tokyo Girls Collection' show on September 7th, doesn't look like Miona will be there either. Just these four Nogi members will be taking a stroll on the catwalk and wonder why Nanase won't be there? She's someone who is a bit busy but has really curtailed her activities since her graduation.





 Now on the mag spreads which total three but there are quite a few pics. Bottom pic above is of Mizuki who is one of the few third generation members I like and she turned twenty three weeks ago. She has the largest spread today from volume ten of Platinum Flash.















 Know that Yuuri graduated at the end of June but I'm going to keep including her in these group posts if there's ever new pics of her. Yuuri's first PB is no longer in the top ten for sales but it did well enough selling about 30,000 copies to date, she also just had a b-day as she turned 26 on July 26th. This set from the August issue of Brody features outtake pics from the PB. Once again no new Erika pics but her photobook is still in the top ten and has sold 284,000+ copies to date.








 Usually end off with the best set of the day and this final one is from the September issue of Bubka. Miria is the member and this is really one terrific spread, to me she got a bum deal again from management when she was demoted to being an Undergirl, she's so much more talented than these new members plus is also such a funny and interesting gal. No Asuka in this post so after the pics have a new CM from her for a new Pokemon app.
