Nogizaka46: The extraordinary 'A little bit of this and that' for 2019 #19....



 Fairly sure Nogi doesn't perform any more Christmas concerts and think 2016 may have been their final one. They do appear on many end of the year music shows and often dress up is holiday uniforms but wish they would go back to having their own X-Mas shows, they don't have any for Halloween either though they once did. Perhaps they've gotten too popular as so many of the more fun things they did have fallen by the wayside.






 No word either if there will be an eleventh season of 'BINGO!'. Really enjoyed their first five seasons but that show rapidly went downhill and one major reason was the third generation members began to be featured almost all of the time and we didn't see enough of the older members. Am still a big Nogi fan but do notice their songs, concerts and shows I watch of them are always the older ones which means before February 20, 2017.









 Haven't seen any Christmas cards for this year yet so perhaps I'll grab all of their older ones to include in posts for the next two weeks. Have a few here and if you notice all of them feature graduated members.














 Speaking of graduates Sayuri I. will be leaving soon though no official date has been announced yet. Would think at the end of February is when it'll happen as that's when Nogi performs their yearly birthday concerts, on the brighter side she turns 25 tomorrow.






 Only two new regular mag spreads for today which is why this is a 'little bit of this and that' post, this time of the year many weekly mags take a few weeks off from publishing issues. On to the new pics then and we'll start off with a huge fave of mine who is Hinako. Nogi was recently in Taiwan and they've been there many times to perform shows. Last post had some interview pics from the 'ATCTWN' site with a few other members, pics here are from the same site.








 More Hinako and she's joined by her best Nogi mate Miona. They recently took a trip to New Caledonia to film a special segment of the 'Nogizaka World Travel' show. Their segment aired December 8th on Abema TV, it airs once a month and had forgotten all about it.














 May have a Misa solo post coming up next month as her second photobook will be released. Do have one new mag spread but it has nothing to do with the PB and am waiting for ones that have outtake pics from it. These are two of the covers along with two promo pics for it.





 Two weeks after that book comes out Mizuki will be releasing her first one, these are also covers with a few advance pics from it.





 Let's get to the two regular mag spreads and both feature Yuki who probably appeared in more mags than any other member this year, she was the cover girl for the November issue of BLT Graph.





















 Another big spread here plus once again she was the cover girl for a mag which was for the January 4th edition of Weekly Shonen.














 Guess this is a mag spread though I got it at the andGirl site and it features the stupendous Mai. She didn't qualify for this year's faves list as she didn't have enough solo posts but would have made it easily. Think for next year may make some sort of rule for Idols such as her as it's difficult for many of them to have six solo posts so perhaps it'll be the amount of pics they have in group ones. She usually has ten or more of them so she may have had 400 new pics for this year, so maybe I'll say 250+ pics can make you eligible for the yearly faves list.






 Final thing for today and in the last group post had Mai's spread for the January issue of Entame and she was joined by Ranze. But many bonus pics of the photo shoot have been released and that's what we'll end off with.
