Nogizaka46: 2019 Magazine scans #23 plus more goodies....


 Whew, that top pic has to be one of the most underrated Nogi ones of the year, the second one is no slouch either. Don't often have pics of graduates in these posts but do have some for today, one reason is that most gals who leave Nogi tend to drift away into doing so little and if they do have an activity it's way off the radar.
 Yuuri has kept busy since she left Nogi about five months ago. She's still hosting her 'Nutty' radio show, was in an August stage play and has appeared on a few variety shows. Yuuri to me is one of Nogi's hottest members ever and she really went unnoticed by too many fans but she was one of the more likable gals within the group. Of course she'll never be as popular as she was with Nogi but you can say that about every member who has left or will be leaving, just hope we get to see much more of her in the future.



 Three of those pics above are from her first and only photobook that came out at the end of June. There's also a new Yuuri video to end the post of with and these are some recent Instagram pics.









 That top pic was with ex-Nogi captain Reika who has two pages in the Brody spread that's coming up. She has her second PB coming out in a week and hope to have a solo post for her them, am holding back a new Flash spread of hers for that post. Here'a another graduate who is Mai F. and I miss members like her. She seemed like 'the rock' of the group when she was with them and hard to believe it's been almost 3 1/2 years since she graduated. Have included pics of her in these group posts but there are too many I've left out. On October 25th Mai was at the HMV bookstore in Shibuya to promote the DVD for her film "Ai ga Nanda" which originally came out in April. She's also starring in the "Mada Kekkon Dekinai Otoko" drama, there's been a few quiet stretches but for the most part her acting career is doing well.








 Oooops, forgot to add these pics in originally which are from the 'Ten-Navi' site where she talked about the new drama and her leaving Nogi.






 There have been three Mai's in the group and all are close in age, surprised we never saw a mag spread featuring just them. On with the one graduate of the three and she's the cover girl for the December 3rd issue of Flash.








 This Mai is actually my fave of the trio but sadly there's no new mag spreads with her nor any pics from the Oggi or With Online sites. But on November 14th she attended the 'Saitama Precfectural Citizen's Day' where about 12,000 fans showed up and she was appointed as an official cheerleader for the campaign.














 Miona's second photobook will be coming out early next year but no date has been set for it. So it appears the next Nogi gal to have a PB will the third generation member Mizuki whose first book will be coming out on January 21st. These are some promo pics for it and it's easy to see where the pics were taken, of course a requirement for every PB is to have pics of an Idol brushing their teeth.






 On the new mag spreads though this first one is from last month. It's from the October edition of Brody which has two pages of eight members.


















 To me it seems Yuki has appeared in more mags this year than any other Nogi member. She has the next set which is a huge one from the November issue of Bis.















 Thought there were more than four mag spreads which wasn't the case so this is the final one but there is one other thing after this set. Had almost forgotten about having those special posts for Minami's 2019 pics, will have two more of them coming up soon. This superb spread here is from the December edition of BLT.









 Last off as promised are more pics of Yuuri which is followed by a short video of the photo shoot. The mag is a new one which is called 'Girls Stream' and there's only been one issue to date, pair of third generation members were the cover girls and already posted those pics.
