Nanase Nishino: A bit of this and that....
Up until now had been titling these posts by how many Nanase has had since she left Nogi, won't be doing that any more but this is her eighth one. Was also thinking of Idols in general who have graduated and how few remain moderately successful. Nanase has been and may always be the biggest exception to that rule. Though not overly talented in one area she's like that 'jack of all trades' person who can do a bit of everything which will always keep her in demand for appearing in dramas, hosting variety shows or modeling.
But hardly any other ex-Idols you can say that about and how many can you think of that have successful careers besides the ones that turn to gravure modeling? Hardly any considering how many Idols have graduated over the years and seems to me they almost always say they're going to become an actress. At one time that may have worked but these days the market is flooded with ex-Idols who want to be popular actresses. Most seem to start off with stage acting and after a few months or even a year they tend to disappear. That hasn't been the case with Nanase who is a much smarter person than most Idols which is why I've liked her so much and could be a big reason with you viewers too.
Eight posts in a little less than seven months isn't a bad pace, if we can have 50+ new pics of Nanase every 3-4 weeks that'll keep me and her still huge fan base happy. There's a massive 'Girls Award' show this weekend though she's not going to appear. That's my one disappointment since her graduation in that she doesn't attend any more of those big fashion shows such as the TGC ones though she was at one in April. Nanase is still the co-host of two variety shows, one is 'Lion go Touch' and these are pics from last Saturday's show.
Doesn't seem as though Nanase is a model with GRL these days as she hasn't had any new pics for them since Spring. However she's now a model for 'YOHO! GIRL' with these being new pics from their site and she looks so different in these pics.
Of course she's still a model with Non-no and as usual have some superb pics from their site.
What I miss more than anything else has been new pics with her Non-no mate, both are still models for them but why no new pics featuring the unbeatable duo?
Continuing on with NN Nanase was the cover girl of their November issue though didn't have enough pages, that seems to be the case with most NN cover girls.
But Nanase did have a slightly larger spread in the September 10th edition of Flash though it was mainly to plug her "Anata no Ban Desu" drama. Unsure if I'm going to view it as it ended up being a twenty episode series but did hear it was quite a suspenseful series.
Nanase hasn't attended enough events since her Nogi graduation but she did make an appearance at one on September 23rd. It was to promote a new anime movie that's coming out on November 29th titled "Coluboccoro". In the movie she'll be voicing the character of Suzu which is the lead role in the movie, as I mentioned at the top unlike other Idols her career has become so successful so quickly. The character is a 14 year old girl who somehow inherits blood with some mysterious powers, will have more info on the movie as more events or news comes out. Have plenty of terrific pics from the event as Nanase was dressed as usual in her ultra conservative style and kind of looks like she's lost a bit of weight though she's always been a tad too thin. Following the pics you can watch a short news segment of the event.
