Seems there was a slight increase this year for these group magazine posts as I think there was only about twenty last year, one reason is that there was a decrease in solo posts. Especially for Erika and it's been a while since she led off a post, she'll also be ending it off with a fabulous new spread. She just won an award as her second photobook "Intermission" was the best selling PB of the year. It was released on Erika's 22nd birthday which took place on January 22nd, to date it's sold a little over 291,000 copies and it was a given that she would be #1 for this year. That total sold is also a record for most copies sold in a calendar year but she still trails Mai's "Passport" photobook which has sold over 350,000 copies to date, how does either gal top those books?
Erika has been busy this year but once again it was mainly doing musical stage plays which is why she hasn't had many solo posts nor does she often appear in these group ones. Can't think of the last time she was at a group event and do miss seeing her do Nogi activities as she's one of my top members. She looks mighty fine not dressed skimpy and these are all from the Furisode kimono site, no dates were listed there but think they're all new pics.
Just have three mag spreads for today but they do add up to be almost fifty pics but of course have a few other tidbits. No new mag spread again for Minami though she will be in the next issue of Bomb. She's an exclusive model for the With Online site and their OL campaign, these are new pics from the site and all feature her once again with Yui from Keya who has become a huge fave of mine. Have never seen the pair in a mag together and wouldn't that be a treat? Actually the top two pics were posted a few months ago and the bottom five came out this week.
Oooops, actually do have a few more new Minami pics as she's joined by a pair of members all should know and these are from Peach John, shame there's no CM's featuring them.
Not really sure what you call this batch of pics. Seems they're from a Nogi magazine which is volume two, did post the pics from volume one which looked like these ones that aren't from a spread but all look to be mag covers. Checked the group's Nogi Shop but couldn't find out what these are for there either. Sooner or later sure I'll find the answer but of course if a viewer knows what they are....
Talk a lot about pairs and can't believe there aren't more pics of this dynamic duo. This is really it save for two less than stellar blog pics.
But the pair were at an event on December 3rd but there must be a rule not to have many pics of them together as there were so few of them. The event was held at the Lumine O Hall in Tokyo and it was to promote public awareness for social scams and it was loosely called 'Stop Scams- Family Bonding project 2019'. There is a CM out for the project but neither one was in it. Not a put down but have noticed Nogi members aren't all that social media savvy which in a way isn't a bad thing but having a few members there definitely would make younger people pay attention. The poster has the celebs in the CM and at least one huge fave of mine is in the video, perhaps more are on the way.
EDIT: Oooops again as I forgot two things, one is these pics from Mai's 'All Night Nippon' show which broadcasts on Wednesday nights. The second thing is that Reika's second photobook 'Gaze" was #1 on the Oricon charts it's first week out selling close to 20,000 copies.
But there was another Nogi event that does have a lot of pics and it took place today. Just one member who was Sayuri and as I've mentioned so many times this year she's really looking so much better these days. The event was to promote the upcoming game 'HoneyWorks Premium Live' which will be coming out in the Spring. It was also to promote an exhibition that opened today plus for a manga that will be starting on January 15th. "HoneyWorks" was originally a popular anime movie that came out in 2016.
On to the trio of mag spreads and as mentioned in a prior post there aren't as many spreads in December as most weekly mags don't put out issues the last two weeks. This first set is a monthly one and it features Yuki in the January edition of Bis, bit small at four pages but the next two mus total well over forty.
Always end off with the best pics of the day but it was a struggle as both of these last two spreads are simply tremendous. Asuka came so close to being number one for the day but just missed out but this set is still her best spread of the year, her second best one of all time to me. She has the cover for the December 20th edition of Friday, last seven pics are bonus ones from the photo shoot.
Erika has the honor of having the #1 spread of the day which is from the January issue of UTB and she was also their cover girl. She did some gravure spreads for the "Intermission" PB but in all honesty I prefer these kinds of sets from her, she looks so magnificent in these pics and she'll be turning 23 on January 22nd. She's also featured in a new CM for Mouse Computers after the pics along with several other members.
