Not as massive post as usual as there was one done just two days ago. Then again there are 55 new pics which is more than enough and noticed I've fallen back into my habit of making posts too huge. Don't come into these posts planning on having a 'member of the day' though often it does happen. It's not an official award but for today will give it to Manatsu who has the most pics for this post and it's the first time I've ever led off with pics of her.
Wouldn't call Manatsu a huge fave as she's never been in my top ten for fave Nogi members. Though do like her quite a bit and she's become the rock of the group over the years, perhaps that's why she was chosen as their new captain a little over three months ago. She's a first generation member but really not officially as Manatsu didn't join Nogi until their fourth single as she was finishing her schooling, remember her getting introduced on one of those old 'Construction' shows.
May as well keep going with Nogi's captain and these pics are from an interview with the Crank site that came out on November 16th. The interview was for her drama "Headhunter: Headhunter's Mode" that began on the same day. Don't know much about the show as it was a cable one but looking over the terrific cast it's a show I'm going to be hunting down even though it probably wasn't subbed.
More Manatsu interview pics which are from Yahoo Japan and it was for volume two of the 'Nogi Shot' photobook, volume one sold over 300,000 copies. Answered my question too from a few posts ago as I didn't know where certain promo pics had come from, now do. Also there for the interview was Mai and what has ever happened to her? She's become such an idle Idol and besides her post for making this year's faves list have done only one post for her in four months. She does have a film coming out in February so let's hope that means she'll be everywhere.
The pair share the same birthday which is on August 20th though Mai is two years older. A very surprising thing then is how the duo have never had a mag spread just featuring the two of them. Just find that hard to believe and they do appear to be good friends. The slow stretch for December has started so am planning on doing some 'pairs posts' to tide everyone over. Will have one for Nogi though not of these two but think the first one will be for a pair of Keya gals.
Let's get on with the mag spreads and shocked that there are any after Friday's post but most mags don't publish the final two weeks of the year so this may be the last group post of the year though often I'm mistaken. Group set here featuring four members and it's from the January edition of TV Guide, sadly it's not promoting a new Nogi drama. Come to think of it did enjoy their "Zambi" show so why not a second season?
Last mag post had some screenshots of Hinako and Miona from their December 9th appearance on the 'Nogi World Travel' show. This too small set was promoting it and it's from the December 24th issue of Flash.
Never been too big of a Minami fan as I've felt she rode the backs of the more popular members for too long. She has been a bit busier lately as she's finally earning her pay, she's the cover girl for the January issue of EX-Taishu.
Final spread belongs to Manatsu and it's a really superb set of pics from the December edition of BLT Graph, one more thing after the pics.
Haven't been posting too many Nogi videos lately as quite a few of them get deleted, can understand that happening to music videos but not CM's and it has. But think this new one from Meiji should stay on YT and the food in it does look fairly yummy....
